The New Mastersounds - "Your Love Is Mine" (feat Corinne Bailey Rae - Nostalgia 77 remix) - (3:17) 99 BPM
Review: Milan's Record Kicks have been championing contemporary soul and funk since way back in 2003, and now they celebrate their 20th anniversary with the release of a collection that brings together nine sought-after tracks from their back catalogue and 11 brand new cuts. Featuring contributions from well-known artists like New Mastersounds, Calibro 35 and Tamiko Jones as well as some more underground names, there's no room to go into every track but most of what's here operates in the arena known variously as 'neo' or 'new old' soul while there's room, too, for rawer funk cuts like Martha High's 'Answer To Mother Popcorn' and Calibro 35's 'Stainless Steel', as well as some surprise covers - not least a ska'd-up take on Britney's 'Toxic'.

Review: Longstanding Italian label, Record Kicks, outta Milan that's been specialising in all matter of funk since 2003, digs through its catalogue to surface with a compilation of obscure material and classics from the likes of James Brown to original soul diva Martha High. Across the 12 tracks presented here you'll find a bona fide cast of artists like Osaka Monaurail, Hannah Williams and Baby Charles to the explosive sound of Marta Ren, the Link Quartet and more! Record Kicks as always spearheading today's retro Soul movement for the better!

Review: Freestyle's series of genre-themed download bundles continues, with June's 'Afro & Latin!' and September's 'Funk!' comps now joined by this 40-track collection of soul and disco nuggets from the label's back catalogue. The set kicks off with a bona fide classic in the form of Omar's 'There's Nothing Like This', after which come 39 more cuts from the likes of Carleen Anderson, Kyle Audist and The Fantastics (not to mention, in featured vocalist form, Jocelyn Brown and Caron Wheeler). The title's something of a misnomer - the emphasis is firmly on 'new old' soul, future R&B and neo-soul rather than disco - but there's much to enjoy here all the same.

Review: Since 2003, Record Kicks has been the "explosive sound of today's scene" and, by the looks of this latest nugget from Martha High, they're right on track to fulfill that promise! The talented US vocalist was on the front row of James Brown's hits in the 60's and 70's, but she's since then focused on her own glorious soul material. "A Little Taste Of Soul" comes as a ray of shining light on a wet October afternoon, full of funky sensibility and heartfelt vibes, making for the perfect dance number for those looking for that groovy thang. For the B-side, "Unwind Yourself" slows the tempo down, breaks up the groove, and unleashes High's Goddess-like voice amid those tasty breaks - what a winner!

Review: A veteran soul singer of James Brown and Maceo Parker fame, Martha High has been riding er, high, again of late thanks to her work with top British R&B revivalists, Speedometer. Bandleader Leigh Gracie has now produced this new studio album for Martha and it's just what their fans are expecting: 11 tracks of vintage-tinged, retro soul and funk. Highlights include the total brass-fest of "Never, Never Love A Married Man", the bright and breezy cover of "Sunny" and her acclaimed take on the late Etta James' mournful ballad, "I'd Rather Go Blind".

Review: Speedometer are an acclaimed UK band who describe themselves as being a 'funk behemoth'. Judging by the pedigree of artists that they've collaborated with - Eddie Bo, Sharon Jones, Billy Wooten, Sir Joe Quartermain and more - you can see their point. The latest legend to get involved with the guys is veteran soul icon Martha High, formerly of James Brown's band and more recently, Maceo Parker's chief vocalist. Having recently toured with the band, they now return the favour with bandleader Leigh Gracie producing a brand new studio album for Martha called Soul Overdue. Here we have two tracks from the LP, the first of which "I'd Rather Go Blind", is an authentic take on the late Etta James' mournful ballad. Up next is a lively re-working of soul classic "No More Heartaches" that's so well done, it sounds like it's beaming in directly from the mid '60s. Top that Austin Powers!

Speedometer feat Martha High
Played by: Juno Recommends Funk
Review: Of all of the revivalist modern funk bands around right now, Speedometer are without doubt one of the best. Since the early noughties they've provided soul and funk heads with a string of essential singles and long players. The two tracks showcased here are amongst their best, too. Taken from the 2010 album The Shakedown, they offer authentic dancefloor thrills from a bygone age. "The Shakedown (Say Yeah)", featuring Martha High (replacing Speedometer regular Rita Currie) is a riotous concoction that should get even the most ashen-faced cynics going wild on the 'floor. "Dragging Me Down", meanwhile, drops the tempo and adds some wild Hammond organs, but it's no less incendiary. Fire in the hole!
