[new] King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – “Kepler-22B” (101bpm Fmin)
Not the most interesting track on the planet, but I couldn’t not post it on account of how fantastic the drum part is.
[fave] Otis McDonald – “Complicate Ya” (93bpm Cmaj or Gmaj)
Is it a song? Technically, I guess, but not really. Just some funky riffs that would have been some cool parts to an actual song. Still nice and funky though.
[new] Jany Green – “Move” (104bpm Dmin)
[new] Anderson .Paak – “Jewelz” (109bpm Bmin)
Another oh-so-funky hitter from the incredibly tall-toothed Anderson .Paak with Timbaland producing. The Rhodes really make this record shine.
[new] Jany Green – “Drippin” (80bpm F♯min)
It’s doesn’t bring much to the table melodically, but it definitely does bring a naughty funk groove to the dance floor. Hard to not get down to this one.
[new] Charlie Burg – “Lancaster Nights” (96bpm Bmaj)
I liked this song so much I listened to some of Charlie Burg’s other stuff. Sadly, most of it was pretty awful. Hopefully this record is more indicative of where he’s headed because it really has a lot going for it. Out of the gate, it’s groovy but just when you think you know where it’s going, it takes some unconventional left turns. I liked being surprised especially when it’s with wonderful horn arrangements and riffs, great harmonies and background vocals, sophisticated chord progressions and tight, disciplined production. And it has a GREAT ending too. Bravo, Mr. Burg. Please do more of this!
[new] Kirby – “We Don’t Funk” (85bpm Cmin)
We need a 12″ version of this one with a nice long funky break so we can really get all the way down. Sadly, this is only two minutes long. Are you up to the challege? Put this record on, grab your honey, and see how funky you can get before it’s over.
[new] VULFPECK – Live at Madison Square Garden
These guys are amazing. And they’re awfully nice to upload an entire concert for your enjoyment. My favorite part is at 12:23 where bassist Joe Dart is featured. Wow… crazy skills. And at 17:50, check out one of the funkiest breaks ever. Love this stuff.
