Check out Double Yellow 'We Got Caught'
 

My tip for something new is UK artist Double Yellow - We Got Caught EP.

5 tracks spanning jazz, soul, funk, afrobeat and including a fantastic Dixie-jazz cover version of Queens of the Stone Age's hit No One Knows. Apparently he's getting loads of underground support in the UK right now and from NYC house maestro Danny Krivit.

Out on Juno. Also on iTunes / Amazon etc. There's a video on YouTube too for No One Knows.

If you are looking for new bands playing old sounds (how does that work?) then The Pimps Of Joytime are well worth checking out.

Posted elsewhere here but still worth a second nibble from their 2012 album Janxta Funk:


Check out the band Dumpstaphunk if you like this although they seem a little forced to me.

Thanks, this is right up my street.

Bobby Taylor & The Vancouvers

If yall aint know, this was the band Tommy Chong the famous stoner comedian was a part of before he became a stoner comedian. He even got signed to Motown!

Bootsy Collins
 

Bootsy Collins - What's A Telephone Bill? - YouTube

This is my favourite Bootsy Collins song

Perhaps I missed it but I'm surprised no one has mentioned any of these bands:

Soulive
Lettuce
The Greyboy Allstars
Orgone

Some of my favourite soul/funk tunes.

Millie Jackson - All the way lover



Marlena Shaw - Woman Of The Ghetto



100% Pure Poison - Windy City

oh baby

Enjoying the new Charles Bradley album which was released this week.

Check out Lettuce! they're funky as f##k!

The True Reflection's "Where I'm Coming From" album was reissued recently. Great harmonies remind me of the Temptations and the Four Tops.

Charles Walker & The Dynamites Love Is Only Everything

Fans of Wilson Pickett & Otis Redding should enjoy the new release from Walker. Both soulful & funky, the album is a bristling high energy affair. Bettye LaVette guests vocals on the duet, "Yours & Mine" though my favorite is the closer, "Please Open Up the Door".

Charles Bradley Victim of Love

His latest backed by the Menahan Street Band on Daptone. Album has a very soulful, Stax-records feel. Songs are a bit more joyful than on his previous release.

Jackie Moore's Sweet Charlie Babe was recently reissued. Found a cheap copy & enjoying it. Though she's a Southern, Florida based singer, her music has a Philadelphia soul sound.

I'm into Rock and Electronic (Including Techno, Speedcore, Dubstep, Breakbeat, and Dance) and looking to get into funkier stuff. Stuff that lies on the border between funk and rock (Not necessarily funk rock), or the border between electro and funk (Not commercial crap). Any ideas?

Hey guys, I can't for the life of me find enough songs that play slow sexy bass-lines in the higher range. Could you be as so kind to recommend artists/material where the bassist really makes the chords cry. Chur

Barry White was too cool!

Picked up a Jimmy Ruffin cd, Ruff 'n Ready, the other day. What a great voice. Too bad he stopped recording so long ago.

He was vegan too! to save his life, probably although it didn't work and IDK how long he was for.


♥Sept 12th♥

I thought it was h i l a r i o u s, LMAO, but I'll take it off. Sheesh...

I would suggest immediately the Red Hot Chilli Peppers but if you don't dig them try G- Love and Special Sauce. GET YO FUNK ON!

Nicole Willis never fails to release great music. Her new album, Tortured Soul, is her best effort yet.

I'm your man with tha master jamz

Exquisite stuff. Good luck finding it though!

where can I find out about new Funk & Soul Artists? any links?
 

Does anyone know of any good websites, forums, blogs, Facebook groups or anywhere where I can find out about new up and coming funk / soul or R&B artists? like you know releases or news and that? or write ups?

if you're into soulful and disco we've just put out a new release from Mannix and Dina Vass of the Melba Moore 70's classic 'Standing Right Here', look out for it, its got full brass and string sections too.. sorry but I can't share a link yet - je suis une newbie! ;)

A legend who needs no introduction:

:tramp:

Sublime version of a motown classic:

More gospel than soul, but a goodun all the same. Cracking voice:

Purple Snow: Forecasting the Minneapolis Sound

Essential V/A collection and the best in that category released this year.

This is a Numero release which means top quality. Check out sounds from the album here:

Aquarium Drunkard » Purple Snow: Forecasting The Minneapolis Sound

Hi guys, im new here... and not just at the forum but also at funk soul music gender. Recently i discovered funkadelik and parliament, and specially on this second one i found an album i love, which is called "Mothership Connection". I was wonderin if anyone can recommend me a band with a similar style of funk... with a lot of groove.

Thanks!

Eclipse by Elements of Life is a double disc album of Latin soul, R&B & jazz-influenced dance. Several tracks remind me of the great Latin soul music from the late '60s to early '70s. But there's nothing nostalgic here as
the music is a vast melting pot of styles (those listed above plus African, Brazilian & gospel) and modern electronic/pop sounds. The album was even released on the great Fania Records label and it will fit in well with all the excellent classics that label has produced.

You might like the album Go For Your Guns by the Isley Brothers. Rick James has some good P-Funk from that era as well.

Can anyone recommend something else like this?

Time Will Tell by Ice:



If that's a bit of a broad request, I'd say that it's those flute riffs that are stuck in my head most of all.

The Brothers Johnson was more or less that style of clean funk during the 70s. They were quite popular as well.

Thanks for the recommendation, Necromancer. I've heard Strawberry Letter 23 before, but I'll delve deeper into the Brothers Johnson. Nice avatar as well - it's making me want to dig out my Universal Horror DVDs now :)

BT Express - "Express".

Thanks for the post, Dwill. :)

Zapp & Roger, Zapp, Zapp Band.
 

If anyones looking for a more down and dirty raunchy style of funk, they should check out Terry 'Zapp' Troutman from Hamilton Ohio. (1977) Zapp, Zapp Band, and my favorite Zapp & Roger have helped inspire the electro funk sound, a subgenre of funk into the creation of the G funk sound in West Coast hip hop from the early to mid 90s. If you like Parliament Funkadelic and P funk, you'll like these guys/brothers.
