Timmy Vegas & The Universe Band Presents Jennifer Wallace Can't Make It Thru Another Day (June 2009)

This one is a little hard to describe, almost like a live band playing funky soul with house beats...plenty of brass then a big diva vocal from Jennifer Wallace..Sounds like it could be very big..Not sure on which dancefloor though!!

Gramophonedzie Why Don't You/Street Lady (April 2009)

Well, I do have a section entitled 'Funky'. This is where this will be going..Gramophonedzie have used a 1930s type jazz sample and cut it up to produce a tune that's full of energy and a little different. These are ok every now and again, couldn't stomach them on a regular basis. Not much gone into the beats etc but you know what, I like it. Pretty much a throw back to the early 2000s when funky house was on the agenda.

ADDED - The 'Why Don't You' sample is from Lil' Green's 1941 track 'Why Don't You Do Right' in case anyone was wondering, there is an audio sample below..

'You had aplenty money 19-22, you let other women make a fool of you..why don't you do right, like some other men do..get out of here and get me some money too...'

Dimitri Max Lazy Afternoon (Original Mix) (Mar 2009)

Ok, not quite soulful house per se, more on the funky filtered disco/funky house side of things. As an avid Minnie Riperton fan this was an easy sample for me to spot. It's from a tune called Here We Go speeded up and chopped a little. I've included the Minnie Riperton track as well for those who're interested.

The Braxtons The Boss (Masters At Work Album Mix) 1996

Absolutely love this! Came out on the Atlantic label in 1996, think mine was a doublepack. Listening to this wonderful Masters At Work remix today this has to be amongst the best pieces of vinyl that I own. I wish all house tunes sounded as good as this one, this makes for a very happy club! Only problem is...what to follow it with..Anyway..soulful house ,funky house, call it what you want but it is super super dope and one of Masters At Work's finest hours.
