Sulty instrumentals sourced entirely from 80s soul samples. As yacht rap as it gets. Would kill to hear a Curren$y & Fiend duet on any one of these.

I’m a sucker for this sample, especially when it’s flipped in midnight funk fashion complimentary to Eddie Holman’s original.

The Darling Dears & Funky Heavy – And I Love You
Tuesday, January 31st, 2012
Now-Again launches New York funk/soul researcher and archivist David Griffith’s Orivious Records with a masterpiece: the sole document of a lost and unlikely teenage “sweet-funk” collaboration between Rochester, NY vocalists The Darling Dears and backing band Funky Heavy. Originally issued in 1972, the record never made it beyond city’s west side. Today, this rare and exquisite blend of fragile female harmony atop an unexpected bed of raw, plodding funk commands four figures at auction when it appears in its original form.
The juxtaposition of the falsetto (?) vocals against the slow deep funk background on this is incredible.

Friday, January 13th, 2012
Video for one of the tracks from the excellent Something About April album, featuring some of the most amazing hair pieces caught on film since the last Dix promo photo. Also, note how well this video rides the delicate balance between genuine sentiment and tounge-in-cheek asides.

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012
The first single from iNDEED’s upcoming debut EP. Pretty much everything I like about these guys as a band is neatly showcased by what happens to the beat after the 2:42 mark.

Friday, December 23rd, 2011
After several months of intense chopping, screwing (||), mixing, selecting and arranging, here is Lean On Me. We (The Steady Bloggin Braintrust) are very grateful to P. Jones and Groove Daniels of Soul Division for working with us on this all the way from Norway, tirelessly sending us track after track of quality material for our merciless selection process, and patiently sticking with us as we obsessed over minutiae of track arrangement and sequencing. Also, as always, huge thanks to John Turner Jr. for the artwork. We hope you enjoy the result as much as we enjoyed making this. Happy Holidays.
