The Funk
Artist. Jazzy Eyewear / Label. Disko Zoo

They get their Funk on with "Fever Shak" and the one-track "Bang the Planet"; STACY KIDD throws down some tracky Chicago house vibes for "Jump & Jack" as well as "The Meaning of Jazz" on his House 4 Life label; the SHORT BUS KIDS are "On The Prowl" for their Bounce House label; JORES drops his debut EP "Play That Jazz" for Illegal Cargo; two funky duos from across the pond--SOUND DIGGERS & GROOVE FEDERATION--see their "Best Of..." works on Blockhead; INLAND KNIGHTS also drop a best of compilation for the "Amenti Sessions"; Bosconi's spinoff label Extra Virgin brings the heat with four jams from four different artists for "Like A Virgin"; and DJ SNEAK and SOYDAN team up for "The Latin Kardes", a jackin beat with a Spanish influence for a tasty EP from two of the House Gangsters.
Soul Full
Artist. Ralf Gum / Label. Cabinet
A long time ago there were three artists named LUKE SOLOMON, ROB MELLO and ZAKI D who really liked deep house and made a few tracks for CHEZ DAMIER's Prescription label. Fast forward 14 years later and Running Back dusts them off and adds an unreleased edit of one of the premier House EP's from that time and repackages it as "Prescription". Don't sleep on this classic reissue! RALF GUM presents "Gogo Music Volume 1", a fine collection of tracks from his popular Soul Full label; BANGANA kills it for Marlon D's Underground Collective label with "Fresh to Death"; STIMMING makes an appearance on the Lovebirds Knee Deep label with his remix of TIMMY VEGAS' "In From the Cold"; GLENN UNDERGROUND remixes "I Missed The Boat" for the Compost Black Label; ANDRE HARRIS releases his "Innate Soul Digital 4" compilation; great sounds from JAVI LOPEZ on his "Look What" EP for Onethirty; and Dessous let go of superb deep house with "Just For This" from RYO MURAKAMI with GRAEME CLARK on the remix.
