    This is just over 10 years old (I think it's 15 years old).







    Defunkt - Stranglin' Me With Your Love



    And their second album "Thermonuclear Sweat" I like a lot. They were recording and releasing up until 1995. They may still be touring occasionally. Someone else had a story about their friend going on tour with them.

    yeah, so does someone have a list of Soul Fire's catalogue? I might as well seek those out first, right?

    IMO opinion it hasn't gotten better than the Poets of Rhythm, Whitefield Borthers, and the last Sharon Jones albumin the last decade

    not quite funk but that Bataan that came out earlier this year needs attention too.

    People covered many of these, but here are some main ones I can think off offhand:

    Labels:
    Soulfire
    Desco
    Daptone
    Misty
    Lamar (funky afro)
    Select Stones throw, ie: Breakestra
    Psycho
    Latin Express (funky latin)
    Bamboo Shack (Australian, includes the Bamboos)
    Cardboard City (Bluejays band has funky meters styled material with rock influences)

    other Artists:
    Lefties Soul Connection


    make sure to grab up the recent releases by El Michels Affair.

    JD & The Evil's Dynamite Band - Explodes Across the Nation


    Don't have many UK funk band LPs, but I really like several of the
    New Mastersounds 45s.

    Lee Fields. mix of afro and funky soul, dope afro cover of get on the goodfoot, among a few heaters. straight outta WillyB

    Calypso King - Soul Strike. very stripped down instrumental Look A Py Py sound. Bit samey, but hey it's a good place to be. Finland dudes.

    Whitefield Bros - funky tinged with afro, "tight!" Krautfunk

    J.D. & The Evils Dynamite Band. Bit more low key compared to the previous two, but similar instr funk/afro sound.

    I think that's it for LPs. They all have at least a few great cuts, Lee Fields is probably the best one.

    yes, my only qualm with this is I wish it was longer

    These come highly recommended:











    Actually, for whatever reasons I'm not usually a fan of newer funk releases besides the obvious stand outs like Sharon Jones. But those two are exceptions to the rule. Didier Sound Spectrum is an out of print Finnish funk record that Sampo released a few years ago. El Michels Affair is readily available. If it's okay with Sampo I can post the Dider LP.



    Anyway, please keep adding.
