Ace, freaky deaky boogie — dense, extrovert and synthy — originally out on Oil Capital.

Early-eighties R&B. (Previously unreleased, though Charles Davis cut a version for Sutra.)

Uku Kuut and his mum, on boogie patrol.

Cold-sweat compounds of art-funk, baglama high-life, horrorama, yacht.

Two exclusives: Erykah Badu’s irresistible do-over of the euphoric album instrumental There, with Malian synth-freak Tidiane Seck; and a dub by Mark Ernestus. Lovely silk-screened sleeve.

Three deep funk instrumentals — HBE on the opener. Sound-wise, doubly lethal, as alive as vinyl gets. Silvered, silk-screened sleeve.

The Richard Evans jazz funk terror.

More-ish combination of UK street soul and spiritual jazz, from Floating Points’ label.

Classic Miami soul, originally on Blue Candle, from this Jazzman imprint.
