keb darge, record collector, dj and now producer extrodinaire
probably has one of the most complete funk collections on this
planet. you may recognize his name from barely breaking even's
funk spectrum and jazz spectrum series, collaborating with others
like dj shadow, kenny dope, pete rock and bob jones to pull out of
the crates some of the dirtiest and funkiest music you've ever
listened to. this album consists of great "new funk", stuff that
may sound like its from the 60's and 70's but is actually being
created today. enjoy.
"i am sure you are aware that the world today is filled with crap
throw-away music, manufactured super stars, a plenty of
talent-less bedroom dance music producers with only a few decent
ones, plenty of the experimental music that is being released
should have waited until it had finished being experimented with,
and the critics who rave about the next new piece of shite. in
order to escape this horror more and more of us are turning to the
timeless music of the past. rockabilly jazz, soul, ska, doo wop,
60's garage, funk, and a few others. me? i have concentrated on
soul and funk. like so many others i searched high and low, and
spent a fortune seeking out new discoveries from a bygone era to
satisfy my hunger. i became a curator of these lost treasures.
then one happy day a copy of joseph henry's "who's the king"
arrived on my doorstep. phooar! this was one of the best early
70's records to ever have seduced my ears. i found it more
exciting than any of my james brown collection and so did the
dance floors i played it to. however it wasn't from those
hallowed days, it was a brand new recording of a brand new tune.
produced by my buddies gabe roth and phillip lehman in new york.
suddenly the future began to look bright, and it was. desco
records then sent me a constant stream of these new works of art.
lee fields, a name i was already familiar with, but then, sharon
jones, naomi davis, the sugarman three, the mighty imperials,
names i had never heard of, but by christ they were great. i had
had a few records from the soul saints in germany before this, but
they were a very limited press and suddenly stopped coming.
however it was like they had thrown the funk world a lifeline
soaked in inspiration. next came a record from breakestra on
stones throw records from california. then young kenny dope and i
were record shopping in london and the nice man behind the counter
said "mmm? keb you might like this one, it's just in". he then
produced a 45 on blow it hard records called "one note brown". i
grabbed one copy and kenny bought the remaining stock for his pals
back home. kenny was the man who talked me into trying my hand at
producing. so i got together with long time friend and very
talented man, nic van gelder and formed the imaginary visions.
desco split up into soul fire and daptone around this time, but
they both kept churning out great music. i then did a gig with
the new mastersounds, the people behind "one note brown". i asked
eddie roberts, their main man, if i could co-produce them and sign
them to my deep funk label, the rest is history. new hard funk
bands began to spring up all over the place, from the uk to the
us, from finland to australia. adrian gibson at the jazz cafe in
london began to showcase these bands, and in doing so introduced
us to the speedometer and soul destroyers a band who's drummer and
backbone was another long time deep funk collectors malcolm cato.
today things couldn't look better, kenny and i are starting our
own label to specialise in this stuff, kd records. sharon jones,
the sugarman three, the new mastersounds have all done great
albums to reach those who have not yet discovered the joy of the
45. mine and may other funk dj's playlists are filling up with
these new releases, and you are now holding a sampler of this
great music, containing tunes that will still sound great in 2,000
years time. plenty more to come, remember the curator has a
masterplan."
