Every Saturday we take a look at some quality funk, soul and disco here at the Labs. Wether it be old or new, we're digging it and feel the need to share. Known as the Queen of Rock & Roll, Tina Turner has a career spanning over 50 years in the business. Her back catalogue is a vast array of solo work, rock anthems, duets and her raw earlier material with husband Ike. She is also partial to an amazing cover or two. While she became a massive success in the 80s and 90s, [...]
They're baaaaaaaaack. Our favorite high energy house heads the Geisha Twins released their FREE Dolla Dolla EP today, which comes with two dancefloor wrecking, funky house originals along with a remix package by some of their favorite up and coming producers. 2012 is looking like a big year for the San Diego based duo, as they recently joined with Vitalic Noise and had their single Can't Stop featured on Thee Mike B's 'Tite at Nite' Scion A/V compilation . They'll also be making their way around the U.S. this [...]

Her first name means "to have faith in a higher power even though he's not right in front of you" in Arabic while her last name is Abyssinian for "he made the call to prayer and he had the most beautiful voice." Ihsan Bilal 's name is fitting, given her strength as a multi-talented vocalist and classically trained instrumentalist. A meld of Beyonce 's smoldering pop-rock anthems with the funk force of a younger, female Bootsy Collins , Bilal makes her music her own with textured rhythms and soulful vocals. From California to Turkey to the East Coast, [...]

Holy shit. Got to work, checked our incoming feed, and this EP literally reached out from my computer monitor and slapped me across the face. I mean legit, I never knew my desktop could cause physical harm without provocation but hell, that shit just happened. And if that's what happened at work, god knows what these disastrous tracks could do in a club. A two track extended play with a super hero team of remixers, today US production duo Geisha Twins released Dolla Dolla $$ , an aggressively funky record with a motive to make [...]
This song oozes funk from its every pore. It's American in its nature, with some extra African flavouring added thanks to the band living in an area of Paris that was largely an African immigrant one. You can hear the two influences competing in this song, as the guitar solo sits a little at odds with the rhythm at times. It's great. Lafayette Afro-Rock Band - Darkest Light [ Buy ] [...]
Dam Funk bringing that "true funk L.A." on his soundcould . 'I Gotta Let U Know' is the funkmaster's newest joint and it's the trillest groove you'll feed into your ears in a fine minute. Modern L.A. funk at its prime. Respect..
A genre that's very much on the up currently is underground UK bass music going by the name of "UK funky." An adaptation on house that tends to feature heavy bass and tribal drums alongside party-style tropical rhythms, this is a new, exciting sound which is yet to really crossover to the US. In this playlist, we introduce you to this new sound with five essential tracks to emerge from UK funky music, featuring key players in the genre like Lil Silva and Champion , and covering the spectrum of sounds that UK funky represents, [...]
There's been a few remixes and edits of Fantasy floating around, but I haven't heard anything that I'd like to take into a club until Italian Le Nonsense set me straight with his re-edit. Upped tempo and lots of added percussion that lays over the original quite nicely, an exciting version of the blissful original. The download limit has been reached so grab your copy here , and while we're waiting for that to download let's enjoy the official video, hold on tight to your paint brushes fellas. [...]
GonZo is a talented producer out of Copenhagen, Denmark. On his profile you'll find tons of very enjoyable music in the form of originals, remixes and the type of track that's a bit rare to the genres we post, known as the mashup. Mingling modern pop music with classic disco, he's got some really fun blends in his "The Reboots" album , one of my favourites is this disco funk showdown between Chris Brown and Eastside Connection. Back to his remix work, last week he uploaded his take on fellow Danes [...]
Figura quasi mitologica e insieme pressoché sconosciuta al di fuori dei patrii confini, notissimo per le sue amanti e certe scandalose composizioni (la celebre "Je T'Aime... Moi Non Plus" e l'ambigua "Les Sucettes" affidata all'innocente e ignara France Gall ), altrettanto musicalmente sottovalutato dalle nostre parti (nonostante dagli anni '90 fino ad oggi siano stati continuamente ristampati i suoi album e sia stato oggetto di omaggi da parte dei più vari gruppi e musicisti), Serge Gainsbourg è probabilmente il più famoso cantautore francese del secondo dopoguerra, ma qualsiasi definizione è riduttiva di fronte al suo genio.

Drawing their name form the popular Francis Ford Coppola film Apocalypse Now , PBR Streetgang have established themselves as one of the most anticipated artists of the upcoming year. Their recent release off of Hot Creations " The Downstroke " has been creating quite a buzz recently and has started its ascent up the beatport charts. The Duo responsible for all the success of this low-slung boogie/house style are Bonar Bradberry and Tom Thorpe of Leeds, UK. Leeds has become an [...]

I love remix competitions. They bring many artists and producers together into one comparative stage, giving a more focused insight into each individuals' style. Beck & Charlotte Gainsbourg have opened up the stems of Paradisco for public manipulation with the submission deadline closed this past Monday. My favourites are from Le Crayon , Fever 105 and Tempogeist . An official release on Because Music and a set of Pioneer S-DJ05 Studio Monitors are [...]
Here at Not Some Kid, we believe our entire generation was born to fly. This song drives that point home in great fashion, using funky production elements and infectious vocals to win our ears over. Works for me. Preview: Head over to iTunes to pick this up, then sing along to it whenever it comes [...]
The enigmatic, hit-producing machine of the nu funk movement, Moon Boots, has done nothing short of what is expected - another jam and ½. His latest single, 'Bills To Pay,' which you can listen to and download for free below, compliments his earlier hit singles 'Off My Mind' and 'Gopher It.' If you have not started keeping tabs on [...]
