Author: DJ D-Mac

Heretofore uncharted territory, now to be meticulously recorded for posterity.

1.  various - REBTUZ Presents (EP 5) [Tru Thoughts] copyright-defying fun featuring Kinny & Horne vocals

2.  Dr. Rubberfunk - Riding With the Ratman [GPS] slick street-wise funk, great vocal sample

3.  Skeewiff - Wet Your Beak EP [Jalapeno] Cheeky, funky, breaky goodness.

4.  Nuyorican Soul - Runaway [Giant Steps] Bit of a throwback (1996!), a uncovered Masters at Work classic.

5.  Amadou & Mariam - Coulibaly [All Other Music] Driving Afro-funk remixes by Afrikanz on Mars.

6.  Ursula1000 - Boop [ESL Music] Cheeky house flavor. Works a charm.

7.  Rita Lee - Agor E Moda [Som Livre] Sleezy Brazilian disco (1978) from Os Mutantes' Rita Lee. Incredible!

8.  Treva Whateva - Dustbowl [Ninja Tune] TW says it best: Muscular disco-funk with a rock edge.

9.  Lefties Soul Connection - Organ Donor [MPM Records] Live funk reworking of DJ Shadow classic so raw it bleeds.

10.  The Raconteurs - Steady, As She Goes [V2] Because man cannot live on funk alone...
