Chris Joss - Sticks (2009)



I've posted Chris Joss in the past, and because i enjoy him and his offbeat instrumental work, i've decided to post more. i've now listened to this album 3 straight times and it's funky beats and almost East Indian-esque type sounds in some of the songs - i know you all will enjoy it too.

Shaolin Temple Defenders - Take It Slow (2010)



Been too long - way too long. Sorry to the people who come here, but i've just not found a lot of good stuff out there that i deem worthy to post - until today. I'll can post more earlier stuff if there's a want for it, let me know.

in the meantime, meet the Shaolin Temple Defenders. I've listened to this time and again this week and upped it but until today didn't have the time to post.

enjoy the Shaolin. it's brilliant.

Los Charly's Orchestra - Chicano Disco Funk (2010)



Coming into contact with this album has brought my whole site into place. The funk/soul and disco sounds coming from this crew are simply epic. This is right at the top of the albums i've posted; the epitome of what i'm trying to share with everyone. It's just simply brilliant. Take it, enjoy it, rip it, share it, and listen to it loud.

I hope to see at least a few hundred takes of this. It's just that good.

Rhythm Funk Masters - Afro American Arctic (2008)

The Budos Band - II (2007)



Here's the 2nd one. As good as 'III' and what an experience these guys are. Truly brilliant stuff. Please, everyone, enjoy.

The Budos Band - III (2010)



Here they are. This sound is truly something else. Enjoy a different experience here, but altogether truly brilliant. I will try to get 'II' up today yet... i hope.

Diesler - Tie Breakers (2010)




Like The Haggis Horns and many others here. Enjoy this new work from "Diesler"

rapidshare

The Haggis Horns - Keep On Movin' (2010)



The Haggis Horns are back and so am I with 4 new goodies. This one is in line with many others here, in the funk soul ways as is Diesler's 'Tie Breakers'. However the 3rd and 4th are something different. There are 3 albums from 'The Budos Band' and i have 'II' and 'III' to put up. Those are the names of their albums and if you want to hear some serious horn section work at it's best, these 2 from The Budos Band are highly recommended. All coming!!

Candice Monique and the Optics - In My Soul (2010)



in the line of good funk soul music fronted by brilliant women, here is Candice Monique and the Optics. Like the Underbelly with Roxie Ray and others i've posted, she's very good at what she does. too bad pop cultured society doesn't allow people to really hear talented musicians and their music. that's another reason why i'm here and sharing. enjoy; 2 more albums to come today.

The Sound Stylistics - Play Deep Funk (2007)




I'm excited about these 4, but moreso for the next 2 in general. The Sound Stylistics play the great soul funk i love, but they do it instrumental style. I can't seem to stop listening to them. I have both this one and the next one in my car right now, and have so for a couple of months. This music doesn't seem to want to leave my playlist. besides, it's just that good.

Hot Pants Road Club - Grand Funk Orchestra (2009)




I have an older album from these guys - St.Where, but it just doesn't match what they've put up here in this brilliant funk soul album. So i'm leaving that one out and giving you all this. Enjoy the HPRC !! Much much more to come in the next number of days...
