PlayOff records comes back with his new series, I Got Funk, with The Blackbyrds, Black Heat, Skull Snaps, Lightin Rod, Ohio Players, Cameo, James Brown, The Fatback Band. I Got Funk is a Funk playlist from the 70s. The selection starts with The Payback from James Brown. It’s a hypnotic, minimalist, heavy funk piece with a slow tempo and a staggering bass, drum and guitar trio. The James Brown influence concludes with 3 solo songs from some of his sidemen (Maceo, Fred Wesley and Bobby Byrd) where the horns are omnipresent and enhance this ultra-funky groove. In a more Jazz-Funk oriented feeling we find the classic Do it Fluid from the Blackbyrds and the Black Heat, with an Afro-Funk influenced track from their first album. The beatmakers will surely appreciate It’s a New Day from the Skull Snaps for their drum break sampled over 400 times! The track Jungle Boogie from Kool and the Gang relates to the Quentin Tarantino movie Pulp Fiction, but the band is also playing Sport by Lightnin’ Rod. Who are, according to legend, the incognito backing band featuring one of the Last Poets leaders. The well named Too Hot to Stop by the Bar Kays sets the dancefloor on fire with the horns and its killer groove. While the Scottish group AWB team up with Ben E King to deliver a heavy funk track loaded with horns and a funky guitar. With a more sophisticated production, the track Funk Funk by Cameo shows the evolution in sound and the transition from the 70s to the 80s. The Netflix tv serie’s The Get Down featured the funky disco track Bus Stop by Fatback, where a remix was played in a dance battle in the first episode Record Label: Playoff Records Style: Funk

Classic funky soul from the 70s – a set that definitely lives up to the blacksploitation groove promised in the title, thanks to a host of classics from the left field of the funky spectrum! Some of these cuts are well-remembered from back in the day, but most are the kind of underground tracks that have grown in strength over the years – thanks to circulation as hip hop samples, or on rare groove playlists – and in fact, the whole track list here might well read as kind of a dream list to hear on a funky dancefloor! Titles include "I Believe In Miracles" by The Jackson Sisters, "Give Me Your Love" by Sisters Love, "Across 110th Street" by Bobby Womack, "Testify" by Johnnie Taylor, "Talkin Loud & Sayin Nothin" by James Brown, "Love Me Back" by Willie Hutch, "I Cry" by Millie Jackson, "Hang Out & Hustle" by Sweet Charles, "Brother Louie" by Undisputed Truth, "Superfly" by Curtis Mayfield, and "Who Is He & What Is He To You" by Creative Source.
