Funky Compilations -- Recently Added -- CD  

The kind of music that made Miami discos just as happening as the clubs up north at the end of the 70s -- and a great batch of cuts that kept the city's scene burning strongly into the next decade! Not all of the artists here are of southern origin, but they either recorded for Miami labels, or ...

Funky soul from the west coast -- and a motherlode of tracks that you've probably never heard! Inner City Records was a small time funk powerhouse -- owned and run by organ player George Semper, who cut some mighty fine records on his own! The label's not to be confused with the New York-based ...

The sound here is way different than most other collections we've stocked -- a weird mix of funky jamming, psychedelic production, mod ...

Gilles P Digs America, and we dig him plenty too -- so the feeling is mutual! This time around, Mr P's shown us again that he still has an amazing talent for picking up a groove -- as most of the tracks on this set were shopped by Peterson in the year or so before the compilation -- proving that ...

A cool collection of electronic tunes from years past -- mostly early 80s numbers, mixed by Marco Dionig and Daniele Baldelli -- the latter of whom really helped transform the European scene with his famous nightclub work! The music here marks the shift that Baldelli made with his Cosmic nightclub ...

A killer! As revolutionary as the music and political climate was in the Bay Area in the late 60s and early 70s, it's damn near criminal that there haven't been more representative collections of the music -- enter Luv N Haight Records, who are here with the first ever comprehensive compilation of ...

A great little dip into the CTI and Kudu catalogs of the 70s -- put together by Kyoto Jazz Massive, and featuring some of the hippest funky tracks from both labels! The "Star Borne" title here is very apt -- as the grooves are often spacey and cosmic -- stretching out with plenty of ...

Maybe the best-ever Luv n Haight comp, this one was put together by the folks at the Groove Merchant record store in SF (maybe we'll get such an honor some day), which was formerly owned by Ubiquity. Lots of totally rare cuts here, and many with a real jazzy feel. No duplication from other comps, ...

A double-length collection of work from two obscure Atlanta soul labels -- the Tragar and Note imprints, both run by local producer Jesse Jones! Back in the day, Atlanta wasn't nearly as big of an outlet for soul records as it's become in recent years -- so Jones' labels were key in showcasing ...

An essential chapter of Miami soul -- even if most of the work is appearing here for the first time ever! The set is a magnificent companion to Numero's Deep City collection of pre-TK Miami soul -- but it's put together in such a way that it's almost a beautiful introduction to the south Florida ...
