Here's a huge sounding disco house banger from <a href="http://www.mjuzieek.com/" target="_blank">Mjuzieek</a> (re-released on Hed Kandi). The very catchy main disco riff is accompanied with vocal cuts, big fx sounds and fat drumwork. Nothing to dislike here.<br />

Here are a couple of soulful house tunes for those dark and cold autumn evenings. (Or for the spring vibes if you're on the southern hemisphere!)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First one is a remix from Director's Cut who deliver a solid groove with their signature sound. Second comes a very musical tune courtesy of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/grantnelsonmusic" target="_blank">Grant Nelson</a> and <a href="http://soundcloud.com/mattearly" target="_blank">Matt Early</a>. And last but not least we have soulful house pioneer <a href="http://soundcloud.com/earnshaw" target="_blank">Richard Earnshaw</a> with a very classic sounding original (hence the name), maybe being the most soulful and chilled out of the bunch.</div>

<a href="http://soundcloud.com/biboulakis/" target="_blank">Bibz</a>' "Level One" EP was released a couple of weeks ago on one of my favourite indie dance labels <a href="http://soundcloud.com/stardust-records" target="_blank">Stardust Records</a>. The whole EP is rocking, but "You Can't Keep Talking" caught my attention especially. The feel-good original mix is a very fresh production combined with catchy vocals by Tammy and John Record, and Jackie brings some extra-funk with his deeper french house remix. Beautiful.<br />

The title of this EP actually says it all. "Groovy Music" was released about a month ago on Erik Bo's <a href="http://www.funkmansion.com/" target="_blank">Funk Mansion</a> label, which I have been passionately following for it's quality care-free funky house tunes. The following tracks deserve special attention. It's always a party at the Funk Mansion!

<a href="http://www.beatport.com/release/on-the-run/935322" target="_blank">"One The Run"</a> is a three-track EP released in July 2012 on <a href="http://pornostarrecords.com/" target="_blank">Pornostar Recordings</a>, and it's sounding big. My favourite version is the one by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/djmikenewman" target="_blank">Mike Newman</a> & <a href="http://soundcloud.com/antoinecortez" target="_blank">Antoine Cortez</a>, but the original is sounding great as well though maybe a bit too minimalistic for my taste. It won't hurt you to check out <a href="http://soundcloud.com/muzzaik" target="_blank">Muzzaik</a>'s remix too.

Here's one of the nicest releases on <a href="http://www.hedkandi.com/" target="_blank">Hed Kandi</a> in a while now. This jazzy EP covers styles from soulful house to jacking house to nu disco. My favourite is the original with it's mellow piano, funky guitars and the stirring feel-good mood. <a href="http://soundcloud.com/ridney" target="_blank">Ridney</a>'s remix brings us the above-mentioned jacking house vibes in a lovely oldschool manner with 909 percussion sounds and a bit deeper feel. To wrap it all up, <a href="http://soundcloud.com/webqueawry" target="_blank">Webqueawry</a> shows how to nu disco: big 80's synths, a rocking bassline and solid drum-work.<br />

<br />
Uncanny Valley 001 is filled with deep funky numbers like this. All the grit and squelching of vinyl crackle filtered just sets the scene for warm funky emotions.<br />
<br />
In particular "Cuthead - Unacceptable Moustache Style" really kicks ass. Its got this deep dubby, housey combination like something Étienne de Crécy's Super Discount would have contained.<br />
<br />
With so much music floating around its hard to stay on top of it all but respect where respect is due I say. This was released 9 months ago but will be relevant for the next 20 years!<br />

<br />
A brilliant mash-up from Japan / Oslo producer duo <a href="http://soundcloud.com/fukuyama" target="_blank">Fukuyama</a> released as a celebration for 200 Facebook fans. They deserve a lot more though so <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fukuyama/205887829454523" target="_blank">go like them already</a>! "Fukuyama Used To Hold Me" combines the vocal track of Calvin Harris' "You Used To Hold Me" and Fukuyama's own track "Fukuyama" with discoliciously delicious results.<br />
<br />

<br />
And here's <a href="http://soundcloud.com/_jackie/" target="_blank">Jackie</a> dropping another bomb, which has become a delightful habit for this Polish funky houser. "Do You Understand?" is (obviously) a tribute to true house music, and it doesn't disappoint in its purpose. This is a bit of oldschool house heaven. Understood?<br />
<br />

<br />
Finally, British producer duo <a href="http://soundcloud.com/funky-truckerz" target="_blank">Funky Truckerz</a> bring us some more classic house vibes with their remix of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEonQoSjknQ" target="_blank">De Nuit's "All That Really Mattered"</a>. The guys give the original a big room twist yet retaining the great nostalgic vibe.

To me previously unknown act <a href="http://soundcloud.com/cupcake-project/" target="_blank">Cupcake Project</a> just released a funking EP on <a href="http://royalsoulrecords.com.br/" target="_blank">Royal Soul Records</a> called "Funky Cake". The sample used in "This Ain't No Boogie" (which is a very misleading name by the way) is just too awesome, and they've really made great justice to it too. <a href="http://soundcloud.com/trotter/" target="_blank">Trotter</a> brings some extra funk with his remix, and since I couldn't decide which remix was better I bought both and encourage you to do the same! If you're into this kind of slow jam boogie music check out <a href="http://www.beatport.com/release/funky-cake/913990" target="_blank">the other tracks on the EP as well</a>.<br />

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I was forwarded this link by a friend into house music and my mind was blown....</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Alec Carlsson seems to have been blessed with some kind of genetic inheritance giving him super natural abilities to produce house music. His release titled "Doux Velour" on the Chicago based label <a href="http://soundcloud.com/strippedchewed" target="_blank">Stripped & Chewed</a> has so much chunk, funk & groove it really stimulates the shake in ones ass.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>"<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">My aim was to make two tracks representing my two loves, deep house and funk. It wasn't a matter of tempo, only an homage to the genre I was raised in." Alec Carlsson </span></i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> <i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The title track Doux Velour kicks off with some deep filtered disco sample but at a steady tempo, much like a sedated DJ Sneak. With latherings of electric piano chords and shakers he then exposes the claps and percussion that land in just the right funky position in the groove. It progresses into synth and string meanderings in a very tasteful way.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The next track is "Euphoria" which shows off his delicious bass line skills. Also not breaking any land speed records it chugs along at a nice pace with phased synth stabs & some electric guitar clucks and scratches. A sustained string line and little arpeggiated synths give it some more lift & carry the track further on to the end.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The remixes here are just as tasty,</span><span style="color: #0066cc; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 36.4px;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;">"</span><span style="color: #333333; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">Stripped & Chewed's newest signatories: Chicago Life and Borrowed Identity</span><span style="font-size: small;">" do an outstanding job with the remixes. Chicago Life take on Doux Velour bringing a walking 90's bass line and 4 to the floor kick groove succeeding to stimulate that warm up crowd that would be starting to dance in the bar hopping circles. Really cool.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Borrowed Identity spits out 2 mixes of Doux Velour with 2 styles. The "Raw 303" mix is like it says, raw with a very robotic 909 hi hat pattern chugging away and driving the groove. The deep bubbling TB303 bass line eventually winds out to acidic perfection.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The "Raw Jack City Dub" mix has lots of dreamy sustained pads and a very classic pan flute solo that instantly takes you back to those classic deeper house tracks of the 90's. Vocal chops in the breakdown towards the end really seal the deal as a cool as funk vibe.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If this EP was edible it would b</span><span style="font-size: small;">e served at a hidden gem of a restaurant off the main strip, ran by the same operators since it was opened 30 years ago. Still serving up the same classic dishes it always did. The only catch is he is 17 years old so where the funk did such amazing skills come from? Well like he said he was raised in this genre (upcoming mothers & fathers please pay attention).</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">When asked about the concept and background Alec replied :</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>"I<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">t wasn't a concept at all, I really wanted to make quality music first of all. </span>Moreover I really trust in the label S&C, I released 3 tracks with them, and those are 3 totally different ones, and they all embody my love for music, for several kind of music. The remixes came to add a real Chicago house touch to the ep, and they are so good."</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">There are links to Juno on the Soundcloud player. I will be purchasing this as any true lover of good house music should.</span></div>

I've been waiting for ages for this to come out, and now to my absolute delight it finally has been released. Unfortunately only US customers are able to purchase the track so I have included a download link for everyone else. Also, the track in the Amazon store is some sort of shortened radio edit, so if you're for a more DJ friendly version the download is where to go.<br />

Let's hit it off with <a href="http://soundcloud.com/iamluminaire/" target="_blank">Luminaire</a>'s fresh sounding synth and sample heavy "Shake". Pay special attention to the level of production here, everything is so nice and fat. As usually it all just works and gets me on a really good mood. Feel-good stuff.<br />

You might've heard of this already, but hey I have to hype it too! The start didn't convince me immediately, and for a moment I was afraid if this was to be the first <a href="http://soundcloud.com/iknowbitfunk/" target="_blank">Bit Funk</a> track I wouldn't like. But then I heard some lovely chords rising and the piano finally won me over. It's a classic-flavour house track with that M1 piano and lately bass spiced up with soulful vocals and some guitars. 3:13 is a wonderful moment.<br />

Joey Negro and his session band "The Sunburst Band" deserve major respect for staying true to their faultless jazz-influenced disco boogie sound. The collective just released a new album called "The Secred Life of Us" consisting of 15 brand new tracks previewed in the 10-minute album sampler above. It's reassuring to hear people still make music like this nowadays among all the over-compressed super-loud modern dance music. Befitting the style and spirit of the music, this album can only be ordered as a CD. That's completely fine though – this is a product that (I at least) really want to <i>own</i>.Dr. Purplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04234213795855750759noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208274089764424278.post-10893043478938476172012-07-14T12:52:00.001+03:002012-07-14T12:52:57.284+03:00Jackin Box Funks The Mansion<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's been a while since I've featured a <a href="http://funkmansion.com/" target="_blank">Funk Mansion</a> release, but here's one that won't leave your feet cold. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/jackingbox" target="_blank">Jackin Box</a> might be best known for their funk-laden hip-house track "Big Mama", but their latest EP "The Meat Sweats" doesn't fall short. It's a four-track EP, and I recommend checking out at least "American Houser" and "Titty Shaker". <a href="http://www.beatport.com/release/the-meat-sweats-ep/937815" target="_blank">Buy the release on Beatport.</a><br />

Stumbled over <a href="http://soundcloud.com/skibblez/" target="_blank">Skibblez</a> today and oh how happy I am that happened. This Canadian french/disco/funky house act has put almost all their tracks are up for free download, yet their sound is so professional and sophisticated. But above all, they really get a smile on my face. Here are a couple picks, but I essentially could've featured all of their tracks here. Check out <a href="http://soundcloud.com/skibblez/" target="_blank">Skibblez on SoundCloud</a> for the rest, and don't forget to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/skibblezmusic" target="_blank">like 'em on Facebook</a>!<br />

Here's a funkin' house EP by 25-year-old Australian house producer <a href="http://soundcloud.com/sonnyfodera" target="_blank">Sonny Fodera</a>. This two-track release consists of the solid original in the style Sonny is known for – very funky and groovy – and a more soulful / disco influenced remix by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/dj-mes" target="_blank">DJ Mes</a>. The whole package was released on <a href="http://guesthousemusic.com/" target="_blank">Guesthouse Music</a> just a couple days ago. Really enjoying these vibes at the moment.<br />

Now this is what it's all about. Reminding me a bit of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ieTywdLVcU" target="_blank">the sound of Phats & Small</a>, this track doesn't fail to deliver true summer vibes. "Shine On Me" is a spiffy disco house banger featuring juicy filters and a fat bass. It's free to download also, and since <a href="http://soundcloud.com/frenssu/frenssu-shine-on-me/" target="_blank">Frenssu</a> has a sparing 100 downloads limit on SoundCloud, we already uploaded the file on another server for later downloading desires.Dr. Purplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04234213795855750759noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208274089764424278.post-74267500131295452312012-05-27T20:56:00.000+03:002012-05-27T20:56:55.901+03:00Jacking House For The Beginning Summer<div class="separator" style="clear: both; display: none; text-align: center;">

L.A. based <a href="http://soundcloud.com/thelouderthebetter" target="_blank">The Louder The Better</a> did a wonderful job on this catchy funkatron, which they put up on SoundCloud some three weeks ago for free. Their "chop it up and re-arrange" ethos can easily be recognized – and oh yes it works ever so nicely (once again).<br />

What I love about this are the dynamics. No squashing, no over-compression; there's a lot of air and the track breathes nicely. On top of that it's a really groovy and good production as well of course. I have no idea why <a href="http://soundcloud.com/ziggy_phunk/" target="_blank">Ziggy Phunk</a> decided to close the download, a couple days ago it was still enabled, but don't worry we got you covered! I managed to get a copy and ruthlessly uploaded it to ZippyShare (see link above).

The "Come With You" EP is a really strong and summery release from mega-label and music brand <a href="http://www.hedkandi.com/" target="_blank">Hed Kandi</a>. The original, produced by Hungarian duo Newman & Cortez, in special has a nice groove going on; sunny disco strings, a big funky bassline and splendid, although simple, female vocals. "Come With You" premièred on the "<a href="http://www.beatport.com/release/hed-kandi-world-series-miami-vol-2/880857" target="_blank">Hed Kandi World Series Miami Vol. 2</a>" compilation in the beginning of March, and a bit over two weeks ago <a href="http://www.beatport.com/release/come-with-you/891775" target="_blank">the EP with remixes</a> was released.<br />

Lately it's all been about party music here on Funkster so today I'm offering you something a tad more laid back for a change.

"Dry Martini" is a calm latin-influenced soulful house track featuring a set of beautiful vocals sung in Spanish by <a href="http://claramendes.com/" target="_blank">Clara Mendes</a>. Although I have no idea what they're about, it sounds really soothing. I was surprised to see such a soulful track coming from the likes of Raul Rincon since I had only known him for his more upbeat remixes. This is no disappointment in no way though, I could just sit in the sun and listen to music like this all day long. Rincon's motto is right on the money: "this is sunshine music for sunshine people".<br />

As a bonus treat, here's another sunny feel-good jam. This one was released in late 2010 on <a href="http://www.jalapenorecords.com/" target="_blank">Jalapeno Records</a>, but I found it on the "<a href="http://www.soulunsigned.com/records/sudj004.htm" target="_blank">Soul Unsigned 2011 Summer Sessions</a>" compilation, which – as a surprise to me – arrived via mail after the online-purchase. Perhaps I shouldn't have automatically assumed that it was a download, but it's never bad to own some music in physical form as well! The track itself is pure ear candy: the sounds are delicious, everything just works superbly. Make sure you check out the other tracks in the compilation as well, at that price the album is a bargain and really a no-brainer (= GO GET IT).<br />

Here's a release I've been waiting for quite some time now. <a href="http://soundcloud.com/stereocool/" target="_blank">Stereocool</a> is a very fresh name on the scene, about a year ago this "funk-driven italian guy" started building serious momentum remixing a lot of other rising stars and announcing this release, which – in my book – is his greatest feat 'till now. "Simple" is powered by lovely crisp acid synth riffs and amazing vocals by Ace, which really have a heavy impact on me. <a href="http://www.beatport.com/release/simple/895161" target="_blank">The entire package</a> was released on Italian <a href="http://soundcloud.com/helloshittyrecords" target="_blank">Hello Shitty Records</a> label.<br />
<br />
But let's not forget about the remixes now. There's one for every taste, even a <a href="http://soundcloud.com/helloshittyrecords/stereocool-feat-ace-simple-3" target="_blank">dubstep make-over</a>. Yet I'd like to draw special attention to <a href="http://soundcloud.com/sim_gretina" target="_blank">Frenssu</a>'s (the guy who also made <a href="http://funk-ster.blogspot.com/2012/04/wish.html" target="_blank">this</a>) house version.<br />

Care-free, funky, fat sounding, just the way I like it – and exactly what to expect from this guy. This is definitely a release for the coming summer.<br />

The Phantom is back with another hard hitting house banger. You can instantly hear that this was made by a french producer; it radiates such a strong french house spirit. The track is a bit sample-heavy i.e. a big part of it is purely playing out the sample, ergo after the drop the impact is correspondingly much heavier (do tracks like these have "drops"?). And there's nothing wrong with the sample either. Typical to Phantom's Revenge, the track ends via a speech sample, which for some reason simply is really a great way to end such a track.

Here are a couple of gems back from the days when I still enjoyed music by the members of the SHM. Axwell, Ingrosso and Angello all used to make such wonderful funky tunes which can't even be compared to their present day productions. Knock yourselves out.<br />

One of my all-time favourites; this one is funky house at its absolute best: growling fat bass, phaser-heavy background loop, smooth mashed drums, and a high pitched vocal sample.<br />

Despite its partly ominous mood, "Lick My Deck" doesn't fail in delivering that true oldschool funk. One of Ingrosso's greatest achievements.<br />

Today I want to present to you a brilliant disco powered remix by nu-disco producer <a href="http://soundcloud.com/tombuckden" target="_blank">Blindateight</a> hailing from the UK. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDndZn0YPdI" target="_blank">The original heavy electro banger</a> is transformed into on of the sunniest jams in a long time. Cheryl Lynn's grooves fit surprisingly well with the vocal track of "Sofi Needs A Ladder" creating a mixture of stupendous feel-good vibes.<br />
<br />
The track is non-commercial, but there was no download link on SoundCloud – which the world needed though – so I contacted Blindateight who was willing to provide us with a link to freely share with everyone. You can find the exclusive link below the audio player above.<br />
<br />
