°°° Brain-Bubbles: Zephir’s Spot

I thought I’d do a small recap of upcoming releases on the modern funk front that I know of. Below is everything I could find for now, but I want to ask upfront, please tell me if you have additions.

So, about that small recap? It’s not going to be small. It appears there is a lot of good stuff on the horizon and this list doesn’t even include some of the bands I reported on earlier. Btw this post is also on last.fm, where links are added for each artist to their last.fm profiles.

Ok, here it goes. First off, coming soon on Freestyle:

• Diesler ‘Tracks On The Rocks’ Sampler (7″) & “Tracks on the Rocks” (CD/LP?)-> preview the two 7″ tracks @ Diesler’s myspace , news via his homepage. Hopefully more tracks of the 14 track CD compilation (hand picked by Freestyle boss Adrian Gibson) will appear soon on the myspace and/or Kudos. Album release date: Autumn 2008 on Freestyle Records.
• The Grits “The Grits” (CD) Tracklisting already @ Kudos, but no previews yet. Listen to some tracks @ their myspace, buy the 7″ now!
• Various Artists “Stay On The Groove vol 4″ (CD) Just listed on the page, no further info available. All previous releases were top notch funk so I expect this one to be too.
• The Perceptions “Introducing The Perceptions” (CD/LP) Preview tracks @ Kudos. Release date: October the 27th.

Second label up, Tru-Thoughts. Although their main focus is not modern funk as such, it has some ace artists, who sure know how to funk and grit it up. Read the rest of this entry »

Cut Chemist just released a new video (off his 2006 album, The Audience’s Listening). Check it via the JLM blog here.

I have to remember to do a short writeup on the great news that the New Mastersounds are going to visit us @ the SJU this 5th of september. You know, a short review of the new album, with a nive pic and that sort of stuff.

I hope this works…

It seems the posting feature from the Flock-browser is not really fancy, but nice enough to make a quick post with some editing features. Even categories are supported, so it’s good enough for most kinds of posts.

A picture just for the heck of it:
