Review: Earth, Wind & Fire's debut album is a masterstroke of 70s soul and spiritual funk, recorded during the band's creative peak and released in 1975 as both a studio LP and soundtrack to the film of the same name, about a record exec whose white-only signing policies get the worst of a young black musician. Maurice White and Charles Stepney's production fused gospel uplift with jazz inflection, ungrounding cosmic themes in airtight arrangements and vocal interplay. The album opens with 'Shining Star', a swaggering, horn-charged affirmation that became their first US number one, winding through slow-burning ballads ('Reasons', 'All About Love'), celebratory grooves ('Happy Feelin', 'Africano') and expansive epics ('See The Light').

Review: Japanese jazz fusion continued to take off with Masayoshi Takanaka's fourth album, one that is admittedly referential to Brasilia and its native styles, yet which flaunts Takanaka's virtuosic playing, and put the recreative flair of Japanese players of styles like samba, bossa nova and prog-rock on the map. All instrumental, it marks a shift from prior album An Insatiable High (1977), which brought a relatively aerobic seven-track feel; Brazilian Skies is the trans-Indian holiday after the marathon, bringing lilting beachside hums and coconut claves to a multi-instrumental funk bonanza.

Review: A specialist of short, exquisite instrumental funk records, Masayoshi Takanaka laid this sweet, yearning, yachtbound record down in 1979, following the previous year's Latin sojourn, Brasilian Skies. This slice of jollity sacrifices much of Takanaka's regional focus, and instead brings seven rather more generally awesome, mostly instru-prog-funk tunes to the fore (even though 'Radio Rio' still alludes to Brazil's home city, where Takanaka spent much time honing the samba and bossa nova influences that informed his craft, as well as performing). Lead tune 'Blue Lagoon' is noted for catapulting Takanaka's career after it was taken up by Pioneer for a TV ad; ambient heads would likely contest this history, arguing that the later ambient cut 'Sango-sho No Yousei' is the star tune, and the one that should've won him the limelight.

Review: Part of a dedicated reissues campaign of much of Japanese funk and prog instrumentalist Masayoshi Takanaka's discography, we're now privy to one of the best records within it: the esteemed, sensitively embellished, and patently instrumental super-opus, All Of Me. The only compilation record to be reissued as part of the series, All Of Me was first put out in the same period as the early treats Brasilian Skies and Jolly Jive, which sealed the deal on Takanaka's (successful) career, and saw to the unstoppably decades-long period of fun that followed, and more or less lasted until 2011. Intro'd superbly, and with a sense of amicable drama, we hear segues into 'Sweet Agnes' and 'Izu Amanatsu Natto Uri'; both are gateway drugs for atmospheric music enjoyers to get into funk, amping up the mood of ease, and building on Takanaka's self-fashioned surf scene adjacency.

Review: A high-gloss Abbey Road remaster and LITA reissue brings Masayoshi Takanaka's kaleidoscopic The Rainbow Goblins the treatment it deserves. Originally released in 1981 as his seventh studio album, it's one of the Toyko jazz fuser's most eccentric works, riffing on Ul De Rico's surrealist children's book of the same name (and with an allusive accompanying illustration). The result is a prog-fusion fantasia thick with swirling guitar lines and orchestral flourishes, reissued here on 180g clear purple vinyl to mirror the dreamlike palette of the sleeve. This edition forms part of a trio of remastered classics, alongside T-Wave and Alone, also cut at Abbey Road by Alex Wharton.

Am I Your Woman?

Nam M'Yoho Ren'Ge Kyo

Review: The UK's renowned jazz-funk outfit Speedometer spawns a new single here that takes the form of a bunch of classy covers, all taken from their recent third album Four Flights Up. The A-side offers a refined version of 'Am I Your Woman?', plus a take on the Chi-Lites' classic 'Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)' with Ria Currie's standout vocals lodging deep in your soul. This one was inspired by a night spent dancing at a club in Osaka during their 2005 Japan tour and arms with a smooth groove. On the B-side, they do a fine job of 'Nam M'Yoho Ren'Ge Kyo,' originally by the Night Blooming Jazzmen, by delivering a tight, funky groove with exceptional horn and drum arrangements.

Review: This is a single taken from UK jazz-funk outfit Funkshone's debut album which features a cover of the classic free-soul anthem 'I Believe In Miracles' by the Jackson Sisters. It's a raw and direct funk-soul sound that has been increasingly popular in recent years with champions like Floating Points often weaving it into his sets. On the B-side, they offer a freshly recorded take on 'Panama' by Roy Porter Sound Machine, which was previously only found on select CD editions. It is powered by an explosive drum break that hits with near-manic intensity from the very first beat and is a nice driving counter to the soulful A-side.

Review: What happens when a rare groove gem and a hip-hop classic collide? Groove-Diggers answered that with a slick rework merging Mighty Ryeders' Evil Vibrations and De La Soul's A Roller Skating Jam Named 'Saturdays' which now gets a welcome reissue on P-Vine. This fresh flip features De La's iconic vocals layered over the original sample plus new verses from Japanese rap trio FNCY, who salute the golden age with style. Adding another twist, rising Taiwanese star 9m88 delivers a smooth Japanese-language cover of Evil Vibrations. The result is a playful, dancefloor-ready blend of soul, funk and hip-hop nostalgia that is a great balance of tribute and reinvention. Turn it up loud.

The B-side features their take on 'Misirlou' which is a legendary surf rock track by Dick Dale & The Del-Tones that was made world famous when it was used as the theme from Quentin Taranto's chef d'ouevre, Pulp Fiction. This double-sider is standout for its nostalgic movie associations but also on a purely musical level it oozes class.

Below The Funk (Pass The J)

Review: A funk masterpiece that redefined r&b and pop, this album blended gritty street themes with polished, danceable grooves and left a big mark on music when it dropped in 1981. James was already well known, but this LP catapulted him to superstardom, solidifying his signature "punk-funk" style and leaving an indelible mark on pop music. Kicking off with the incendiary 'Give It to Me Baby', James delivers an irresistible mix of slap bass, soaring horns and electrifying energy. The track became a club staple, setting the stage for the album's raw yet refined sound. The iconic 'Super Freak' is a funky, synth-driven anthem that remains one of the most recognisable basslines in music history, later sampled by MC Hammer for 'U Can't Touch This'. Beyond the hits, Street Songs is full of depth. 'Ghetto Life' paints a vivid picture of James' upbringing with a groove-heavy backdrop, while 'Fire and Desire', a stunning duet with Teena Marie, slows things down with its emotional intensity and soulful vocal interplay. 'Call Me Up' and 'Below the Funk (Pass the J)' further feature James' ability to fuse funk with rock and r&b seamlessly. The album's influence on pop music is immeasurable. It bridged funk and mainstream pop, inspiring artists from Prince to Bruno Mars. Its unapologetic energy and genre-blurring sound helped shape the future of r&b, hip-hop and dance music, proving that funk could be both raw and radio-friendly. Over four decades later, Street Songs still stands as a defining statement of funk's evolution into the pop landscape.

They've been working together since 2018 via their own Loud Minority Productions imprint and here they keep it deep and seductive with two laid-back, jazz-soaked instrumental hip-hop covers full of warmth and plenty of musical finesse. 'Gypsy Woman' is a delightfully gentle groove with conversational horns while an exclusive instrumental of 'Just A Lil Lovin' on the B-side is full of soulful, head-nodding goodness tailored for jazz heads, beat lovers and crate diggers alike.

Rated X

North East South West

Review: Two long-overlooked cuts from New Jersey funk legends Kool & the Gang finally land on 7", pulled from a lesser-known chapter in their prolific catalogue. 'Rated X' is the clear highlight: a blistering, brass-soaked club weapon that's been doing damage on the right dancefloors for years, now finally pressed to 45rpm. Its groove is taut, funky and unfiltered, showing the group's rawest instincts before the crossover polish of later records. Flip it for 'North East South West', a looser, sun-streaked number built on syncopated horns and low-slung rhythm guitar-a snapshot of Kool & the Gang in full livewire form. Both tracks come from a time when the band were stretching funk's parameters, fusing tight musicianship with unrelenting energy. This release nails that moment perfectly - and it's a gift to have them cut for selectors at last.

PLUNKY & ONENESS OF JUJU

Made Through Ritual (LP)

Strut

Cat: STRUT 330LP. Rel: 11 Jul 25

Review: Virginia's legendary Afro-jazz ensemble Oneness of Juju return with their first international release in over three decades, a multigenerational work of spiritual jazz, spoken word, and funked-out ritualism. Made Through Ritual sees founder James "Plunky" Branch collaborating with his son Jamiah "Fire" Branch and producer Jamal Gray, son of Black Fire Records' late co-founder Jimmy Gray. Built from demo beats and samples, each track is reinterpreted by live musicians, fusing sequencing and improvisation into something rich with intent. 'Share This Love' opens with Chyp Green's mantra-like vocals, while 'Free Spirit' and 'Broad Street Strut' blend groove with cosmic vision. 'Children of the Drum' closes things with Roscoe Burnem's resonant poetryian ode to Black legacy that roots the entire record in ancestral memory. This is an album not just made, but summoned, a vibrant continuation of the sonic revolution Plunky began in the 70s.

Funk Masters: Vintage Sounds (2xCD)

Wagram France

Cat: 347630 2. Rel: 27 Jun 25

Review: Since the early 2000s, Wagram Music - a French indie label known for a diversity of releases from across the "cool" spectrum of hip-hop, jazz, soul and funk - has conceived many an ingenious studio compilation. This specialism granted them their toehold in the music industry, and would later also confer them their powers in the domains of publishing and "distro". For now, though, we're firmly camped in with the comps, as their breakout feature, Funk Masters, returns for another round. Long charting the backstreet talents of the likes of Odyssey, Marvin Gaye, Funkadelic, and Anita Ward - among a longer list too great to mention in its entirety - this is an unstoppable series. This time we're in ever more wondrous company, as the Masters contrast to 2022's Vintage Sounds, with further brill selections from Bobby Byrd, T-Connection and Isaac Hayes.

Review: This joyous double LP highlights the infectious spirit of the roller-skating craze that swept through America's rinks in the late 70s and early 80s. This compilation curates 20 classics that mirror the glittering lights, the sweat-soaked dancefloors and the euphoric energy of the culture. The first side features The Whispers' 'And The Beat Goes On', a fitting mantra for an era where the rhythm truly never stopped. Tommy Stewart's 'Bump & Hustle Music' and Loleatta Holloway's fiery 'Love Sensation' keep the energy sky-high. Side-B's Candido classic 'Jingo' and Carol Williams' shimmering 'Love Is You' channel Latin-infused disco energy that filled roller rinks coast to coast. Disc two glides deeper into funk territory with Positive Force's 'We Got The Funk' and Gwen McCrae's 'All This Love That I'm Givin'' add grit and soul. Instant Funk and Inner Life bring raw heat, while Patrice Rushen's 'Forget Me Nots' adds an irresistible smoothness. It's capped off by Barry White's 'Change', a slow-burn closer that cools things down with cinematic flair. What makes this collection shine is not just the hits, but the sequencing and spirit that's gathered here with love for a time when music, wheels and dance created pure liberation.

Review: Venice-based DJ and collector Zaffa is next up on the ever-superb Scruniversal label with a couple more delightful disco dancers. 'Trip Through The Galaxy' is a slow-motion cosmic trip that is vast in scale and high on soul thanks to the warm vocal that floats amidst funky riffs and glowing keys. Things stay just as sensuous and steamy on the flip with 'Supernova Child', another fluid and funky jam with oodles of synth magic and gentle grooves all soothing mind, body and soul. The real kicker is the vocal samples that add extra spaced-out funkiness.

Review: Tony Lavrutz & Scruscru join forces for this latest fiery 45 rpm on Scruniversal. First up, they also call on Mr. And-7 to get involved on 'La Malanga 25', a sunny funk jam with raw horns that bring a Mexican twist to the percussive drums and lively pianos. Marelua steps up for the flip side, 'Paragunde 45', which slows things down and burns warm and bright with Portuguese vocals and plenty of gorgeous acoustic guitar trills. Both of these are primed and ready to inject Latin flavour into any set the moment the sun comes out, so are likely to fly off the shelves.

Be Thankful For What You Got (instrumental)

Review: Sunsay & The Soul Surfers' cover of William DeVaughn's 'Be Thankful For What You Got' is a smooth and classy rendition of the 1974 original. The funk and soul influences are evident in the laid-back groove and sultry vocals, creating a timeless and sophisticated sound. With Massive Attack's 1991 cover also gaining recognition, this song has become a staple in the genres of funk and soul. The 7' vinyl reissue from 2024 remains faithful to the original release, capturing the essence of the track in its entirety. The B-side features the instrumental version, providing musicians and DJs with a versatile tool for sampling and remixing. 'Be Thankful For What You Got' serves as a reminder to appreciate the things we have, both big and small, and to find contentment in the present moment.

'Buffalo' then brings some old-school energy with chopped-up beats and scratching that eventually unravel into a feel-good 80s disco sound. The joyous vibes flow on freely through 'La Battaglia' with its cosmic guitar leads, horns and raw claps then 'Detective' shuts down with the most steamy cut of the lot complete with brilliant funky undertones and expressive synth solos.

Here he turns things up once more with the red hot 'Sister' getting things underway on a nice organic groove, 'Disco Party' then brings some funky undertones, 'You Can Get It' has a steamy edge and plenty of soul worked into the melodies and 'Roommate' shuts down with another irresistible mix of the old and the new.

Review: The 2024 Soulport Records debut by debutant German soul band Miles King & The Foolish Knights sees an insta-reissue through Breakbeat Paradise; they've laid down a club night-errant remix version on the B to replace the original 7"'s 'Hurt So Bad'. Label regular Jayl Funk has underlain extra elasticity and bounce neath this otherwise guardian angelic soul cut, switching the pace to late-night mode with tighter breaks and a sharper kick, built for spinning, not sipping. This is Vol. 19 in the Toxic Funk series, and it keeps the formula simple: feel-good tunes, finely played, and pressed up loud.

Review: Mad About's new compilation uncovers a trove of little-known 7" soul and modern funk recorded across the US between the late 70s and early 80s. Drawn from self-released singles, forgotten one-offs and vanished imprints, the collective curate pulls on fragile ballads, crisp steppers and DIY studio heat from overlooked corners of Detroit, Monterey, Springfield, you name it. Highlights include the featherlight Citation cut 'Inspiration Of My Life', out on Red Line Records in 1977, and the wistful groove of Cho-Ko's 'Tried And Cried', out of Waterford in 1982. And the tightly played 'Nowhere' by Springfield's The Aferton Project, originally cut as a standalone 7" before anchoring their debut LP. More gems by Coleus, Ice-O-Matic, and Arejay garnish a monded crown of historic lives in soul and funk left otherwise mostly undocumented.
