Funky Compilations -- Recently Added -- LP  

A killer second volume in the This Is DJ's Choice series from Unique Germany -- stretching back to the 50s for a raw & rumbling set of deep rare r&b, jumping blues, and rollicking rockabilly -- floor shaking numbers selected by Keb Darge & Lucinda Slim! The (mostly) wayback approach is ...

The title's no lie, as the set's definitely an insanely complete collection of Peruvian grooves from the 60s and 70s -- a massive mix of music that includes bits of Latin funk, psyche, and garage -- plus lots and lots of groovy bits in between! We're not sure what was in the water down in Peru ...

Heavy funk from 70s Brazil -- and a collection that digs even deeper that the legendary first Black Rio volume!

One of the best compilations of New Orleans funk we've ever seen! Sure, the reissue market is always filled with stuff from the Crescent City -- but so many New Orleans compilations are cheapo knock-offs, designed to cash in on the drunk Jazz & Heritage crowd, or they're simplistic sets with ...

Amazing! This is a perfectly-constructed compilation of funky abstract downtempo grooves -- in a style that evokes the classic work of David Axelrod, and a million lost 70s soundtrack composers! The vibe is very serious -- with complex jazzy grooves shifting slowly about, but always staying ...

Massive set of funky instrumental tracks recorded for the legendary Eastbound label -- the short-lived jazz/funk imprint of Westbound. After Bob Porter, the producer who made the great funky records at Prestige, left that label, he moved over to Eastbound to continue his masterful work. This 8 ...

Heavy heavy funk from the Louisiana scene of the late 60s and 1970s -- and a great collection that really gets past the dominance of the New Orleans sound!

A cool collection of funk, soul, and jazz numbers -- ostensibly put together by Ricky Powell! The package has little of the Latin you might expect from the title -- but more than makes up for it with cuts that include "You Follow Me" by James Moody, "Down Home Funk" by Richard ...

A second great serving of all-female funk -- and a collection that's arguably better than the now-legendary first volume in the series!

If you're looking for a place ...

Rough and raw grooves -- way more than you might guess from the "twist" reference in the title! The sound here is more R&B than anything else -- lots of heavy drums, honking sax, burning organ, and riffing guitar -- but there's also some echoes of Latin rhythms, rockabilly raunch, ...

Amazing Latin grooves from the New York scene of the 60s -- and a set that goes way past the obvious to collect tracks from a range of different labels! Unlike other collections of Latin Soul and boogaloo, which are always heavy on entries from the Fania catalog, this set features much more ...

The roots of rap -- pulled from an assortment of classic funk and soul tunes, and mixed in with a bit of old school hip hop as well! The title and look of the package are a bit hokey, but the music's totally great -- an all-essential assortment of tunes that includes "Is This The Future" ...

Nicely packaged compilation that includes a whole batch of funky rare tracks that we rarely see, or which are on LPs that don't have that many other good tracks. Cuts include "I Want A Lot" by Sylvester Jackson, "Going Uptown" by Unit 8, "Jajecznica" by Bemibem, " ...

Ok, so there's already been a few comps of stuff off the Muse label in the past few years, but they've been kind of weak, and haven't really gotten to the good stuff on the label. Now, the great folks at BBE (fast becoming the best compilation label out there) have sorted through the catalog and ...

Funky covers of James Brown tunes -- with more than a few that we've never heard before! Sure, James was funky in his own right -- but he was also an inspiration for countless others, as you'll hear on this great set of funky covers from very obscure sources. Titles include "My Thing" ...

Does this series ever miss? We think not -- and we'll be honest in saying that when this classic volume 5 came out, it was one of the first time we'd ever heard most of these funky gems -- and it's still one of the few places you can get them all together sounding so well! 7 tracks, "Shifting ...

The 9th volume in this legendary series -- and easy one of our favorite of all of them, given the wide range and expansive approach to the tunes on the set! The groove here goes way past simple old school funk, and begins to show the changes in breaks used back in the mid 80s -- not just straight ...

Make your set complete! Almost halfway through this 25 volume series of now classic breaks, beats and just plain old funky jams! This one has the skull on the cover wearing a big apple and features 8 tracks: Junie "Granny's Funky Rolls Royce", The Mohawks "The Champ", T-Connec ...

One of the best of the early Ultimate B & B compilations, and one of the first to become unavailable, reissued and finally available after a long, long absence, unlike many of the other fine volumes in this classic series. 8 tracks, including a few with the re-edits where the break's extended: ...

Twentieth volume in this long running classic series of comps, one that we know will never go out of style, not just because the tracks are an incredible collection of funky originals and break laden numbers, but because they've inspired kids from Munich to Montana to hit the wheels of steel! This ...

Few folks might feel confident to lay claim to being the "master of the masterpiece" -- but given the mighty talents of Patrick Adams, the title is certainly well put! Adams has a legacy that's mighty wide in soul music -- from group recordings of the late 60s, to harmony soul of the ...

If there's anyone we'd trust with a trip through the Blue Note catalog, it's Jazzanova -- as the group have been a key force in the jazz-inspired sound of the global dancefloor for many years! This set's the 4th in Blue Note's "Trip" series -- and it may well be the best, as Jazzanova ...

This series keeps on going strong -- with a brilliant batch of funky tunes that you'll be hard pressed to find elsewhere! Funky jazz is the operative term here, but there's also a bit of soul -- and the set's got a focus on those break-heavy cuts that used to show up years back on dodgy white ...

Not much of a cover -- but a really great collection of grooves -- of the sort that really takes us back to the first few home grown funky 45 compilations of the 90s! The set really goes for the best of the classic early funk 45 sound -- tracks with hard drums, sharp riffing guitars, and an ...

Funky stuff inspired by the deepest, funkiest Kool & The Gang work of the 70s -- a set weighed heavily with real obscurities -- with furiously grooving jazzy bits, grainy hard soul versions, steel band numbers and more -- all massively funky in their unique strains of the sound! Much like the ...

Wickedly funky reworks of classics by Sly & The Family Stone -- most of which are harder-hitting than the famous original versions! The package is a great assemblage of lesser-known cover versions -- many of which are done in rough-edged, deep funk modes -- not just by American groups, but ...
