The Soul & Funk Music Recommendation Thread

oomska · 05-12-2012, 09:59 AM

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.

Orgone
