Funk 45 of the Month
Posted by Rex in Funk 45 of the Month, Recent releases on July 8th, 2009
JUNE 2009:
OPEN SOULS:
“Dollars” bw. ”SWEETLOVE” feat. LADI 6
Not officially a June release – but still a hot 45. The Open Souls are a New Zealand crew who have been making waves on the funk scene for a couple of years now, reaching some tsunami-like proportions with this smoking little slice of wax. Perhaps not ‘funk’ to the purist – but still funky as hell, the A-side “Dollars” picks up where Sir Joe Quarterman and the Free Souls left off - hitting a real “So Much Trouble” kinda groove – but also evokes a “Devil Inside” (yes, INXS) feeling. I know someone is going to be offended by me using these two comparisons – but if you can mix SJQ and INXS together in your head – then add a female vocal, you might get some idea of where this tune is going…. and maybe not.
It’s probably best you just hit the Open Souls myspace page and check it ya damn self. Then you can get back on here and tell me I’m smoking crack!
The flipside “Sweetlove” is nice - but it’s not funk. “Dollars” is def the money tune on this record. Limited pressing – get it before it’s gone. Forever.
Record of the Month

JUNE 2009:
EL MICHELS AFFAIR
“Enter The 37th Chamber”
Music Inspired By The Wu Tang (t&s)
There’s not a lot we can say about this release that hasn’t already been said. We have more stock at Northside after selling more than 40 copies in 2 days!!! If that’s not an indication of a good record I don’t know what is. Don’t sleep on this amazing piece of cinematic soul/hip hop. Anyone who doesn’t rate this record is probably into shit like Buena Vista Social Club or Earth Wind and Fire - and I should probably stop there. Real music for REAL people.
The CD release includes a bonus track (PJs) not featured on the LP - but if you’re on the case when it comes to Truth & Soul, you probably already have the 12″ release of the PJ’s… from afar, featuring Raekwon from 2007. (TS-015)
Check out more on the El Michels Affair at the Truth & Soul website — cop a listen + check the word on Quincy Bright, The Olympians and The Phenomenal Handclap Band.
