Schema (Italy), 2021. Used Gatefold ... $12.99
A bright new groove on the Schema Records label – but one that features work from some of the company's real heavyweights in recent years – as the album was conceived and produced by Lucio Cantone (aka Invisible Session), and features tunes written by the funky Alex Puddu – all in ...

Baby Elephant (Prince Paul & Bernie Worrell) —
Turn My Teeth Up! ... CD Defend, 2007. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Weirdly tripped-out funk from Baby Elephant – a compelling collaboration from Prince Paul, Newkirk, and P-Funk keyboardist Bernie Worrell! The sound here is quite odd – kind of a dismantling of older P-Funk modes, stripped down into a handful of key elements, then re-assembled in a ... read more CD
Concord, 2020. Used ... $6.99
Fantastically jamming genius from Butcher Brown – a contemporary funk combo, but one with a sound that owes nothing to anyone else! These guys aren't retro, or any kind of jamband offshoot – and instead, they rework vintage instrumentation with a very fresh feel of their own – a ... read more CD
El Paraiso, 2015. Used ... $6.99
A contemporary set from the west coast scene – and one that's got a similar feel to the soaring, spiritual sounds we've heard from some of the projects of Carlos Nino – but a quality that's maybe a bit more tripped-out overall! All tracks are long, and very jamming – with loads ... (Jazz, Deep Funk) read more CD
(Out of print.)
Big Crown, 2019. Used ... $9.99
We've loved the music of Lee Fields for many many years – but these days, he seems to be sounding even better than ever – taking all of his decades of experience in soul music, and blending his deep soul roots with an even more mature, open sort of style! And even though Lee's early ... read more CD
(Punch through digipack barcode.)
Melting Pot (Germany), 2012. Used ... $5.99
Kiwi funk and soul from Funkommunity – a modern collective that's anchored by the duo of producer Isaac Aesili and soulful singer Rachel Fraser – and they deliver a very promising debut here for Melting Pot! Funkommunity has a far more distinctly modern vibe than their more throwback-s ... (New Grooves, Deep Funk) read more CD

Hypnotic Brass Ensemble —
Hypnotic Brass Ensemble (LP sleeve edition) ... CD Honest Jons (UK), 2009. Used Gatefold ... $8.99
The amazing full length debut of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble – a cool combo from the Chicago scene who've been making some big waves around the world over the past few years! The brass-heavy group have a family legacy that links them to the Artistic Heritage Ensemble of Phil Cohran – and ... read more CD
Also available Hypnotic Brass Ensemble ... LP 24.99
Doug Johns, 2012. Used ... $6.99
Daptone, 2002. Used ... $8.99
A stunner – the first full album by deep funk singer Sharon Jones, and an instant soul masterpiece! The album's right up there with the best work by James Brown divas like Marva Whitney, Vicki Anderson, and Lyn Collins – and overall, we might dare say that the album's even better than ... read more CD
Daptone, 2007. Used ... $5.99
They might be borrowing her band, but they sure can't dampen her soul – because Sharon Jones is strongly back in action, and sounding funkier and more deeply soulful than ever! Given that Sharon wasn't singing back in the 60s, it's hard to think we'd be calling her the real deal – but ... read more CD
Also available 100 Days 100 Nights ... LP 14.99
New Dawn (Netherlands), 2018. Used ... $11.99
Lady Blackbird —
Black Acid Soul ... CD BMG (UK), 2022. Used ... $7.99
Lady Blackbird takes on a Nina Simone tune on the very first track on this set – quite a risky move, but the Lady's got a voice that's definitely up to the challenge! The singer's the sort that comes along once in a blue moon – a richly talented artist who's able to take any sort of ... (Neo Soul, Deep Funk) read more CD
Also available Black Acid Soul ... CD 13.99(CDr promo pressing.)
Indirecto, 2011. Used 2 CDs ... $9.99
Ryko/Gramavision, 1995. Used ... $4.99
The second Gramavision album by MM&W, and a batch of grooves that shows them opening up their style a lot more than on their first one. There's equal parts of Larry Young and Jimmy McGriff mixed into the organ here, and the rhythm, while tight, is also got a nice open-ended feel. Titles ... (Jazz, Deep Funk) read more CD

Dox/P-Vine (Japan), 2007. Used ... $11.99
(New Grooves, Deep Funk) CD
(Out of print, P-Vine pressing with exclusive bonus track – includes obi!)
Ypsilanti, 2004. Used ... $6.99
A massive slice of Afro Funk from the Detroit scene – recorded by a group that we'd rank right up there with The Daktaris, Antibalas, and the best of the Afro-revival scene! The group's got a really great approach that brings plenty of jazz into the mix – really using the horns to ... (Global Grooves, Deep Funk) read more CD
(Original silkscreen cover – now out of print! Spine has a small index sticker.)
Colemine, 2018. Used ... $4.99
A great little soul set by a singer we're betting will have a long run in the funky underground – a relative newcomer, but one who comes across with a power that really belies his time in the studio! Ben Piriani's music has this righteous, full-on groove that reminds us a lot of that moment ... read more CD
Underdog (France), 2009. Used ... $2.99
French funk from Juan Rozoff – a singer with a hell of a slinky groove! Juan's take on funk is more from the Prince generation than the James Brown one – but he definitely gets that sharp 80s sound totally right – snapping basslines and laying down beats beautifully, while ... read more CD
(Still sealed with the hype sticker.)
Freestyle (UK), 2007. Used ... $11.99
Four flights up, and still plenty darn funky – thanks to top-shelf work from one of the UK's funkiest combos! Speedometer get better and better with each new record – and this time around, they've risen to the upper level of grooving in the deep funk underground – sitting nicely ... read more CD
Kindred Spirits (Netherlands), 2012. Used ... $9.99
We've always loved the music of Jimi Tenor – but recently, he seems to get better and better with each new record – hitting a spiritual, soulful depth we never would have expected years ago! This album's one of his best efforts ever – and feels more like some lost 70s ... read more CD
(Out of print and still sealed.)
Colemine, 2021. Used ... $7.99
The future's brighter than the recent past – thanks to the spirit embraced here by the folks at Colemine Records – one of many labels who weathered the storm of 2020, and who see much brighter days ahead in the years to come!
