The Rapper named B Rawcity starts a flow about styles: While Jenova 7 lays a trip-hop beat: It’s a wonderfully dreamy beat, nice clever syncopations on the drums and the synths, giving rise to particularly beautiful intertwining with the vocals. Notice how the break at 1:18 goes well with the improvised chorus, and the drums [...]

  This is one of the best Ghetto Funk mixes that I’ve heard to date, so it’s no surprise that it’s the creation of the thumb loving, Soundcloud scouring, crate digging, workaholic, groove machine that is Lord Spinforth. And no, you are not worthy. Spin has been digging through Soundcloud profiles for over a year [...]

The thing that’ll probably strike you the most about this track is how mechanically precise it is. And strike is the right word, as that’s what the snares and kicks will do to you as they shatter the little silences inserted at the right points by this French quartet. Good memories of the P-Funk era come [...]

We start with a breezy flute but a delayed angry guitar brings a heavy juicy beat with it. Comes a little break a few seconds later, and we’re then back into SPIEDKIKS’s banging Ear Conflict On Main Street. This duo from Germany brings us a track with beautiful breakbeat drums and an assured pace. A [...]

This is Morlack. He’s a DJ/Producer and might be from France, but that’s pretty much all I can tell you about this guy. Fortunately his cloud speaks for itself with four pages of funky treats, the majority of which are available to download for free.     The mystery man behind this bumping re-think of [...]

  Rollomatik first featured on Groovedrops in February after releasing their fantastic debut E.P. ’Back To The Funk’ (probably my favourite release of the year so far) for free download via Soundcloud. Since then I have waited impatiently to hear what these Finnish brother Djs will come out with next, so thank funk for this [...]

Asklionheart “validates scrolls” on this spoken word track: while Ibunshi plays melancholic broken beats underneath: I love the background noise on the spoken word track, and the way the drums meander through asklionheart’s words. Again, great occurrences of synchronizations, and especially so for something that deviates from your usual 4/4 rhythm. And see how the [...]

  The weather’s getting warmer, the days are getting longer and the skirts are getting shorter, everyone’s busy preparing for the festival season and trying to get down the park on their lunch breaks for a brief sunshine fix, despite the temperature barely hitting 15 degrees. It can only mean it’s spring time (in the [...]

Some turntablist’s scratches placed on top of a rhythm section’s initiate the cool breeze that is this track. But what? Eight minutes for a funk song? That’s because it’ll be breezy all afternoon. Some raindrops will come from a keyboardist’s organ-ic sweetness, and a brass section will shine all along. The track makes you feel [...]

  Veteran Vancouver funksters, DJ’s Wood ‘n’ Soo, made my yesterday by releasing this massive ‘Too Big To Fail’ mixtape for free on Soundcloud, which consists entirely of their own original productions, bootlegs and remixes.   There’s so much I love about this mixtape that it’s difficult to delve in and resurface with any particulars [...]
