SOULSHAKERS
VA - SoulShaker Vol. 01 to Vol. 07 [2004 - 2010] (7 x CD's)
The explosive sound of the deep funk scene is captured perfectly here on one of THE BEST deep funk compilations ever! The SOULSHAKER compilations from Record Kicks is a good reminder of why the new deep funk sound is so popular. Almost all tracks here are featured on CD format for the first time.
Funky soul galore - all of it current, and all of it plenty darn great as well! Back when the first volume of this series was released, the idea of contemporary funk was a bit of a novelty - but now, the deep funk underground is really getting some key exposure on a global level – and a collection like this is a good reminder of why it's so great in the first place! Artists span the best from both the US and European scenes - and although recorded recently, all the tracks here have a hard, gritty feel that's every bit as wonderful as the best funky 45's you might find from the 60's and 70's.

Thanks Butterboy, great blog & nice upgrade !
ReplyDeleteThank you Sir
DeleteVery nice to see the great Chocoreve here leaving a comment.
Cheerss.
I'm going to try this, thank you, as the variety between all the genres covering Soul, Acid Jazz, Future Jazz, Jazz-Funk, Downtempo, Funk, Trip Hop, Electronic, Reggae from the 2k's, there's got to be something I'll like (I'm partial to the likes of Incognito's vibe).
ReplyDeleteSome Artists I came across a while back that don't seem to be 'out there' you might want to check out; "Arlissa"; "Kirby" (possibly Kirby Lauryen); "Madison Ryann Ward"; "Nao"; "Kiana Ledé". I came across by chance on Youtube :)
Have you anything by Rachelle Ferrell?
1st up that shouts out is a cover of the original (for me) of Ann Sexton's "You've Been Gone Too Long", so a) I hope to hear a few more 'versions' in this collection & b) I hope people might check for other versions / originals etc if these songs are new to them :) Thx
ReplyDeleteHi Puw,
DeleteFirstly, thank you for all your comments and suggestion and interest in what I have posted. I really appreciate the feedback and shared information.
I cannot answer all of you comments as I am still traveling and time is precious at the moment. I hope you understand. I just want to say that I am glad you are enjoying the finds you commented on. Enjoy the music, Soulman.
Here is Rachell Ferrell - Rachell Ferrell [1992]

Cheers,
I have some Ann Sexton if you want. Just shout out. Additionally I have more Frank Popp Ensemble. Again yell out if you want to explore these or i will add them to the crate at some stage.
DeleteCheers
I totally understand, thanks for this reply :) I hope where I can with my limited knowledge to pass on to other peeps that find you as I did, anything that may be of interest. As much as it is time consuming, I like to gather info, background, album and artist's art etc on album and artist discoveries as I download (for easy reference & tagging purposes mainly), so anything I come across I'm happy to add into my replies, and I'm glad you're ok with this :)
ReplyDeleteI have to say, though I only cherry picked titles from all 7 rar's to check everything's ok in the wee hours, this set is simply astounding from what I heard, and with a heavy sigh, will get me on the hunt for many of the included and unheard of to me artists included.
It was a bit of a surprise to me when I heard what I did, since the label (Record Kicks) is Italian and gave me an initial sense of 'perhaps' Euro-Pop made over to look better, but I'm blown away by a lot of these. Unable to really find these (and I'm going to go in heavy to search for more from this label) from a quick search both by title and images, tells me that these are quite unknown, which adds more benefit to finding them :)
Thank you for Rachell - I've watched a concert and she ticks quite a few boxes where many Jazz artists don't for me, so I'm beginning a new relationship with her thanks to you :)
Hi Butterboy,
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, these tracks are missing.
Can you re-upload them?
Many thanks!
Hi Chillamor,
DeleteLinks updated, tested and working.
Cheers.
Thank you very much, i spent lot of time in these days to search these volumes and then I remembered your blog...Done, in few minutes.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Cougar1962.
DeleteI think I will repost this one.
Always something to find here.
Cheers.
