BADBADNOTGOOD‘s latest album release IV is pretty special; beautiful mixtures of funk, soul, jazz, dance and pop. This album is an eclectic one, and shows how the group have been able to soak in all their references and output them in this body of work. This track, In Your Eyes, is one of my favourites. Charlotte Day … More BADBADNOTGOOD – In Your Eyes (Ft. Charlotte Day Wilson)
MNDSGN is a beatmaker from LA. He never fails to bring a funk-soul vibe to anything tune he touches. This is a top remix of Selah Sue’s I Won’t Go For More. Funky electric pianos slide around in wahs, laid back drum beat and pulsing synth melodies. This is definitely one for your summer playlist. … More Selah Sue – I Won’t Go For More (MNDSGN Remix)
Tom Misch is everywhere at the moment, producing, co-producing and performing on loads of great stuff. This track with one of my favourite UK rappers, Loyle Carner has been on rotation a lot for the past two days. Misch uses his classic funky guitar sounds layered with a laid back drum beat.

BOOty are a collective from LA and at first the band name threw me off a little… but wow this is like going to Church – hence the name Holy, and man is it holy. These guys have managed to conjure the spirit of gospel, big band rhythm, blues and funk. A beautiful gospel piano … More B00ty – Holy

I’m sure that I’m a bit late to the party on this one, as it was released two months ago, but I can’t stop playing this tune. LA based artist BOYBOY makes an awesome blend of electro pop and dance floor funk. This tune is a great example; groovy ass bassline, shakers, chimes, effects and … More BOYBOY – BOY

Chris McClenney never fails to bring the funk. McClenney drops the grooving drum patterns, funk bassline and beautiful synths. GoldLink‘s trademark double time flow rides the beat majestically, and all this together creates magic. Definitely one of the next house party. Chris McClenney joins GoldLink on tour kicking off in March, more info HERE.
I’ve been waiting a while for some KAYTRANADA in my life, and here it is. He remixes the already certified dopeness of Jamie Woon‘s Sharpness to wonderful effect. Woon‘s vocals sits above, groovy synths and break beat drums. It’s got a real Michael Jackson feel about it. This jazz funk remix is definitely a jam, and … More Jamie Woon – Sharpness (KAYTRANADA EDIT)
I need my daily dose of funk, and if you do too, click play. The Kount, brings some old school funk vibes with modern trap sounds. Big bass kicks hit you, as drums tick around to host a funky ass bassline. This is super hard not to bounce to, so just go with it. Definitely … More The Kount – Hey
