06. Grant Phabao, The Lone Ranger & Carlton Livingston - Imitation Sounds
(Digital Single, Paris DJs, 2013)
One of Paris DJs' Boom Bam secret weapons, with the two rhymesters killing it with style and fashion, over a thick and layered reggae riddim from multi-intrumentalist Grant Phabao. KA-BOOM! You're gonna play this one over and over.

07. Harleighblu - Forget Me Not

08. Mukat Edits - Afro Disco Boogie Edits Vol.3
(12", Mukat Edits, 2013)
Starting with a bumpin disco number full of funky claps & guitar, slapping bass and an anthemic chorus 'Everybody get up, and dance, it's a brand new thing', this is floorfiller material for sure.

09. Nik Weston Presents Colombian Funk and Latin Gems
(7", Mukatsuku, 2013)
A very cool tropical dub edit from Blundetto from a 1975 monster dancefloor track from Wganda Kenya, backed by a terrific piece of Colombian Salsa from Fruko Y Sus Tesos!

14. The Poets Of Rhythm - Anthology
(Digital compilation, Daptone, 2013)
The godfathers of deep funk truly are The Poets Of Rhythm and the whole thing restarted in Europe in the early 90s. Spanning over the last two decades, this is essential and historical music. Raw & groovy as hell too.

15. Thundercat - Apocalypse
(CD/2LP, Brainfeeder, 2013)
L.A.'s beat scene of futurized funk summed up in one double LP co-written and co-produced by Flying Lotus. Foggy layers of cosmic soul, electronica & jazz reaching for the sky. Play it on repeat.
