Music by Don Carlos, Booster, The Black Mighty Orchestra, Sven Van Hees, Marc Moulin, Mo Horizons, Royksopp, Aqua Bassino, Thievery Corporation, and more – 28 tracks total. (New Grooves, Funky Compilations) CD

A great follow-up to the first set in this series – a dozen classic dancefloor tunes, running the gamut from funky fusion to jazzy soul to 80s groove! The vibe here is definitely somewhere in the Larry Mizell/Capitol Rare mode – with a real focus on the kind of smooth groovers that really helped set the pace as the disco era drew to a close. Titles include "Always There" by Ronnie Laws, "Dominoes" by Donald Byrd, "Promise Me" by Dayton, "Music Is My Sanctuary" by Gary Bartz, "Parisienne Girl" by Incognito, "Mr Magician" by Mystic Merlin, "Groove On" by Willie Beaver Hale, "Do Me Baby" by Mel'isa Morgan, "Doin Alright" by O'Bryan, "Too Many Games" by Maze, and "Prance On" by Eddie Henderson. CD

Includes tracks by Soulive, Erik Truffaz, John Scofield, the Jazz Mandolin Project, Charlie Hunter, Don Byron, and Medeski, Martin & Wood. (New Grooves, Funky Compilations) CD
