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'.
