>these threads are for 80+ years of gospel, rhythm & blues, funk, modern funk, deep funk, Norther funk, soul, Northern soul, neo-soul, blue-eyed soul, PBR&B, disco, post-disco/NYC garage music, nu disco, black or white, old or new, just anything groovy not already covered on the board!
What have you been spinning lately? What are your favourite releases of the '10s? Why do you completely write off 80+ years of widely different music?
sometimes very interesting, but rarely are the albums consistent, at least not enough to justify the stupid prices they can reach. japs should have stick to maxis as far as I'm concerned pic related is a prime example, with, out of ten tracks, one that's excellent and the nine others that you can throw away, yet the album will cost you like $80 at best
As a fanboy, can still admit I wasn't super impressed, well thats not fair, it just hasn't grabbed me as much as Broken Toys and especially Antique Soul.
Also thought not tripping when making these generals might help all the trip-hating anons not filter or ignore it but looks like its just the 5 of us, always and forever.

only listened to it once, as I did with the rest of their discog when you posted it some times ago, so I wouldn't tell if it's better or not. I should probably give their stuff more attention n order to have a more precise insight and to know if I should order some of their albums
The new Funky drive band is HOT AS SHIT however, I can't believe I slept on it this long (it was released in february). thankfully there were still copies for sale when I became aware of it. best clip I saw in a long time, too
this is nicely soulful, but shouldn't samba related stuff be more appropriate for /trad/ than /groove/ ? (please note that I'm talking out of my ass as I'm not familiar with brazilian music other than for some jazz and boogie records)
nice ! I don't know why but I only have their first two albums and the Magic touch 12" for years, while the rest of their discog looks very worth it and is dirt cheap there's some cool stuff to dig out of the UK scene
Yeah, I guess you're right. Here is a song that may fit this thread better. Two versions of Djavan's Samurai. The first one is a cover I think is superior to the original. The second is the original version with a Stevie Wonder harmonica solo: m.youtube.com/watch?v=SzHTiTZU7Vo
Neo-soul is kinda experimental soul, they use old inspiration to rehabilitate soul but they use new techniques, jazz inspirations. It's not a defined genre, it's open-minded and we kinda stick anything on the term.
Freestyle Records was originally started by DJ and promoter, Adrian Gibson in 2003 and has spearheaded the resurgence in funk, jazz, soul, latin and most other forms of rootsy black music, and proved to be one of the most prolific and well respected record labels of the last decade.
of course ! Jamaica, and carribean islands in general, are groove treasure troves. check out this comp if you haven't already, it will totaly float your boat

I need your help guys, i searched a song for months. It´s a soul tube from the 70´s 80´s. The singer is a Black women, the song start with a "aaaaaaaaAAAAAAA" " baby .." " got to love you " or " got you baby" any idea? I ear it sometimes on radio.

is it this one ? (although it's maybe not the 12" version if you heard it on radio)
