Album #1
Originally released in 1980 in very limited quantities, Salty Miller's sole album is a hidden gem of the Beach Music scene. Issued under the unwieldy Beach Music Records of the Carolinas, the album blends soul, disco, and mid-tempo steppers, all perfectly suited to Beach Music's signature dance, the Shag. The album was dreamt up after Miller had stepped away from the music industry, only to return years later, driven by a mix of disposable income and lingering creative regret. Determined to reco…
Baby Huey Story
This is the only solo album by American soul singer James "Baby Huey" Ramey. He died at the age of 26 while recording his solo debut, and the album was finished and released posthumously. A quarter century after its release, The Baby Huey Story went on to become a cult classic among soul musicians and fans. Its single "Hard Times" has been sampled many times by a lot of artists and was covered by John Legend and the Roots in 2010 for the album Wake Up!
Akasaka Soul Funk 1969-1977
At the start of the 60s, a new wave of gospel-influenced jazz started to emerge, with hits such as Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers' "Moanin'" and Cannonball Adderley's "Work Song" epitomizing this evolution in the genre. The terms "soul jazz" and "funky jazz" were coined as a way to describe this new sound that was making an impact in the US and also on the other sides of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
In 1964, Ray Charles made his first visit to Japan. Then, in 1968, Martha & The Vandellas a…

Italian Library Songbook Vol. 2: Piero Umiliani
The Italian Library Songbook series, where contemporary producers and songwriters breathe new life into hidden tracks and outtakes from Italian soundtrack maestros, is back with its second installment. This time, beat-maker and bass player Moonbrew, along with composer and keyboardist Paolo Apollo Negri, reimagine the iconic Piero Umiliani, whose influence resonates deeply with anyone who grew up with a passion for b-movies, library music, and soundtracks.
Open Soul
Released in 1976 by Chicago's local label Stage Productions, this is the only album by a 6-piece soul band centered around the four Burton brothers. The original version is rarely available on the market, and when it does sell for over US$1000, it's no exaggeration to say that it's the ultimate collector's edition that everyone wants at least once! Starting with the epic and groovy funk "Open Soul" (B1) that uses the entire B-side of the record and lasts over 20 minutes, the superb funky tune "L…

Musique Original De Films, Volume Deux
Habibi Funk is thrilled to share a second collection of deep grooves and unreleased songs from Algeria's Ahmed Malek, often compared to Italian heavyweight Ennio Morricone. Malek's music effortlessly switches between thematic jazz, funk, reggae and Algerian folk – creating indelible soundscapes that intersect the musical innovations made in African jazz by Mulatu Astatke, Bembeya Jazz National along with some of Europe's finest experimental composers like Piero Piccioni and Janko Nilovic. "Musiq…
Histoire de Melody Nelson
*Transparent Blue with White Wax* Sex has always sold, but presented with a landmark musical backdrop, the combination is rare as finding the elusive “G Spot”. Quite often, attempts fall flaccid, missing the titillating mark by a mile. But French icon and national treasure Serge Gainsbourg is no stranger to sexual proclivities, and with his 1971 Histoire De Melody Nelson he shared an erotic tale as seductive today as the day it was released. With help from actress, amour, and inspiration Jane Bi…

Rain On Us
"A live set comprising nine songs all written by the good pastor, this kicks off with the title track, which bemoans churches and preachers who've quit praising and preaching, and goes on to offer encouragement to anyone on the verge of doing likewise. Donald and a few other people take turns to lead the singing. There's nothing here to set this album apart from the mass of choir-based gospel albums in an over-crowded sector of the Christian music market. All the familiar gospel cliches are here…
