Forgotten Treasure: Funky Rainbow “What I Want Is What I Get” (1979)
Who ever said that the US has the monopoly on great Disco Funk? This UFO all the way from Trinidad & Tobago circa 1979 is there to disprove that notion. I found this awesome record from Funky Rainbow in the 45’s collector bin of Mike Vault, the famous British record …

Brooklyn-based collective Menahan Street Band hit the scene with their first release Make the Road by Walking on Daptone subsidiary Dunham records in 2008.

DJ Spiltmilk “Spiltmilk EP”
The good homie, Spiltmilk, dropped his new EP today. All three tracks are straight up dance floor fillers, laced with enough funk to get your body moving uncontrollably. Some may know him from his days DJing and throwing parties in Edmonton , or maybe you know him through his work …

Scorpio And His People “The Unforgiven / Theme From The Movietown Sound”
YIKES… THERE’S SO MUCH HYPE AROUND THIS PARTICULAR 45 SINCE A VG- ORIGINAL COPY SOLD FOR $3,826.77.

Love those vocals. “Theme From Movietown …
