Read About Funk
Funk45 Forum
Britain's
love/hate soap opera revolving around the perilous 45
collectors scene. Seriously broad knowledge on funk and
soul, combined with a rare collection of profanities,
splintered personalities, bile, posturing and utter shite.
We can't recommend it highly enough.
Soulgeneration.co.uk
Martin Lawrie's site is the stuff of legend. The man has it
all, info, articles, records for sale, huge set of links,
and recipes to boot. We can only follow in his mighty
footsteps.
BGP Records
Home
to Mr Dean Rudland, perhaps the best archivist, re-issuer
and knowledgeable chap on the planet. Not that we are
biased, ohnosiree. Superb compilations from BGP, and a
really healthy clutch of 45's. Massive record collection,
great taste, lovely chap, and he's a mean DJ to boot.
Bastard.
Funk45.com
Of course you already know about this place. Right ?
deepfunk.org
A good man with the right intentions. Just a terrible way
of executing them. Remains an excellent site, and fine
radio.
Rehash
If you ever need to convince your missus that you're not
totally lost to a cult of record fanatics, just show her
these chaps. These two are in deep.
Steve Barker : On The
Wire
Been a guest at Monkeyfunk Shanghai twice and kick started
the Shanghai reggae team. He has been a reggae man for some
20+ years, written liner notes for many a fine reggae
release. Check his site for a mountain of info on reggae,
and dub reviews. A thorough gentleman too who still turns
his hand to DJing and occasionally chooses a Beijing
underground club to pick up, put on his shoulders and carry
on until everyone is smiling.
Soulclub.org
Like funk45.com, but with not quite so much information, or
as tight a remit. the ultimate try-before-you-buy, Spare
yourself a lifetime of misery by finding out what the song
sounds like when shitfaced in front of Ebay at 3am, you
stupidly decide to bid large on a 45 by a woman called
Betty, but you get the wrong Betty.
jazzmanrecords.co.uk
Obviously. But good luck getting a response to an email
unless you've got money to spunk.
jacktophono.com
Well, these fine chaps have got some very very interesting
bands on their label, and are literally on our map, as well
as figuratively. They're down the road. They've got an ace
line-up of top-notch breakbeat acts, and they're about to
start a Sunday session at the Bedford. GIVE THEM
MONEY.

On the regular, that shit is down, hommie. Knock yourself a
pro slick. Gray matter back got perform' us' down I take
TCBin, man'. S'mo fo butter layin' to the bone. Jackin' me

America ! With luck you might be able to get past the total
fucking nonsense and get some real knowledge.

Excellent site, veering towards the library
super-soundscape. Again, loads of knowledge, and always
fresh, very good messageboard for lurking on, like the
anonymous white trash you know you are.

got a hiphop imprint too...
Boogaloo
Investigators
By
golly these boys can play. A couple of killer 45's, and an
album on the way in 2005...can't wait. A much discussed gig
awaits at Monkeyfunk, assuming our teams of lawyers can get
past the contractual wrangling over the brown velour
dressing room and
only
pink iced gems.
souexplosion.co.uk
A fine looking website to score some wax. Do we get a

Live 365 Funk

Of
course there's some shite that thinks that Sheila E
kickstarted sisterfunk, but how can you possibly resist
stations like "Hammond Organ Plus! Like the sound of
Hammond Organs ? Then you'll love Hammond Organ Plus !
Broadcasted by Leslie Overdrive."
Mr. FineWine's Downtown Soulville
Matt's
excellent broadcasts, one hour of 25 45's, special guests.
I love it when a plan comes together.
Craig Charles' Funk Show
It
says here that Craig's career began at the age of 12 when
he won The Guardian Poetry Prize. His ideal music for a
long car journey would be anything by Tower Of Power.
