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: The title's very apt here, as Record Kicks serve up a collection of (more or less) contemporary jazz cuts to inspire your inner auteur. Third Coast Kings, for instance, bring us 'Errol Flynns', which conjures Blaxploitation-esque images of a late-night cab ride through 70s Harlem, while Moonbrow & Paolo Apollo Negri's 'Project Gemini' could easily soundtrack a 60s spy caper in which our hero, in his sharp Italian suit and trench coat, wanders into a wigged-out Chelsea happening complete lava lamps, oil projectors and heavily mascara'd girls in geometric-patterned Mary Quant mini-dresses. You get the idea: think 'Library Music (The Extended Remix)', but in the best possible way.

Review: A pleasant surprise, this album. Normally, when a collection of 'new old' funk of this ilk lands in the inbox, the talent roster comes replete with all the usual suspects, but of the 12 artists featured here, only Tanika Charles's name has previously registered on this reviewer's radar - which makes the dozen authentically sleazy, cinematic and Blaxploitation-esque funkers contained herein all the more of an achievement! With the quality meter showing 'Max' throughout, picking highlights is a bit superfluous - just sit back and enjoy, ideally while sipping coffee and brandy in a 3am East Village diner as you wait for the sting to go down...

Review: A leading force in the so called 'Deep Funk' scene Record Kicks outta MIlan delivers a new label defining compilation, Funk Sides Vol 2. It follows the recent release of Soul Sides Vol.2 and welcomes 12 more heavy funk tracks featuring the likes of hMarta Ren & The Groovelvets, The Liberators, Hannah Williams & The Affirmations to Dojo Cuts and Calibro 35! Special mention goes to the billowing natural reverb of Nick Pride & The Pimptones's "Hotdoggin'" to the distant R&B of Tanika Charles' "Sweet Memories". Get your synthwave post punk from The Devonns "More" or minimal dubtrack instrumentals from Baby Charlers, "Step On".
