La Panthere Pop ... CD 
Cosmic Groove (France), 2008. Used ... $9.99
Funky grooves, psychedelic sitar, and mod Hammond organ – a magnificent blend that's every bit as dynamic as the image on the cover – served up as the long-awaited debut album from this cool European combo!

Shack Man ... LP 
Gramavision/Real Gone, 1996. New Copy (reissue)... $31.99 33.99
More great grooves by this incredible band with a real talent for mixing jazz funk organ with a much freer sensibility – hitting a range of influences that run the gamut from Jimmy Smith to Larry Young, and blending them into something all their own.

Frightnrs —
Always ... CD Daptone, 2022. Used ... $11.99
Really heady sounds from Frightnrs – a group who've changed up their sound slightly since their last full length release – at a level that makes them even more interesting than ever before!

Khruangbin & Leon Bridges —
Texas Sun EP ... LP Dead Oceans, 2020. Sealed ... Just Sold Out!
Khruangbin get a great new sound here – thanks to the vocals and acoustic guitar of Leon Bridges, who bring a whole new dimension to their music! The title and cover of the record are very well-put – as there's this open space to the record that's a bit different than previous outings ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Stance Brothers —
Duktus ... LP WeJazz (Finland), 2023. New Copy ... $30.99 34.99
There's only one brother in this funky little record – Finnish drummer Teddy Rok, who you might know from some great soulful sets from years back – working here in a lean style that blends funky drums with plenty of other spare instrumental touches!

Hanz Mambo & His Cigarettes —
Rays/
Funk Night, 2019. Near Mint- ... $19.99
A moody little funk track from the production genius of Misha Panfilov – whose work seems to be moving more and more into a category of its own! "The Rays" has a strange, spare vocal chorus that's abstracted and echoed in the production – used wordlessly alongside an echoey ... (Funky 45's, Deep Funk) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
(White label promo in a stamped sleeve.)
El Michels Affair —
Adult Themes ... LP Big Crown, 2020. New Copy ... $18.99 21.99
A really different groove from El Michels Affair – but one that reminds us again that the group is really amazing at just about anything they ever try to do! The adult themes here are modes borrowed from older European styles – some of the slinky funk of Serge Gainsbourg and some of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Khruangbin —
Mordechai ... LP Dead Oceans, 2020. New Copy Gatefold ... $20.99 21.99
Fantastic work from Khruangbin – a group with a name that's hard to pronounce, but who just keep getting better and better with each new release – to the point where on this record, they're definitely in a genre by themselves! Khruangbin blend together lean funky instrumentation with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sly5thAve —
Liberation ... LP Tru Thoughts (UK), 2024. New Copy ... $33.99 35.99
The most sophisticated album to date from this wonderful musician – a set that has Sly5thAve working with a large ensemble of players who shift along from track to track – delivering a very righteous reading of his core musical ideas, at a level that feels even more powerful than ...

Orgone —
Chimera ... CD 3 Palm/Colemine, 2024. New Copy ... $11.99 15.99
Deeply soulful work from Orgone – a group who are working at a level here that we never would have expected a decade back! Orgone have always been great, but sometimes they felt less like an organic funk combo than one who had an ear for the right sorts of sounds – something they still ... read more CD
Jalen Ngonda —
Come Around & Love Me ... LP Daptone, 2023. New Copy ... $23.99 24.99
Jalen Ngonda's a hell of a soul singer, and he's working here in a stunning setting that really does justice to his fantastic voice – a larger set of arrangements than you'd usually hear on a Daptone Record, in a way that rises up with a really majestic sort of vibe! Ngonda's got a way of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Come Around & Love Me ... CD 11.99
Budos Band —
Frontier's Edge ... LP Diamond West, 2023. New Copy ... $19.99 23.98
That's a real Roger Dean-styled image on the cover, which maybe heralds the sound that's going on here for the Budos Band – an approach that's even heavier than before, with maybe stronger guitar and bass at times – yet a vibe that still bristles with the group's great use of percussion ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Alice Russell —
I Am ... CD Tru Thoughts (UK), 2024. New Copy ... $12.99 14.99
A really great step forward for singer Alice Russell – an artist you might know best from heavier funk sets, but who comes across here in lean deep soul style that's even better for her incredible voice! In face, although we fell in love with Alice from her very first record many years ago, ... (Neo Soul, Deep Funk) read more CD
