The Budos Band

The Budos Band III

Released by Daptone Records


Holy afro-soul-pysch-funk! Or, something like that. Staten-Island’s resident afro-beat funksters, The Budos Band, have returned for their third full-length installment, appropriately titled The Budos Band III. It’s rather difficult to classify the brand of music that The Budos Band creates, as the ten-plus musicians foray into nearly every musical territory possible. Although the music is sprawling, it is nonetheless fascinating in every sense – relentlessly begging its listeners’ ears for more attention.

Eccentric Breaks & Beats (Review)

Various Artists

Eccentric Breaks & Beats

Released by Numero Group


Well if you can't beat 'em, take back what's yours, sort of. For several years now, the Chi-town based Numero Group has amassed a catalogue of obscure soul, funk, folk and rock while at the same time working tirelessly clearing song licenses and paying royalties to musicians. What their hustle means to all the crate-diggers is that their collection is like a BP oil, it's like that liquid black gold that sprung a massive leak — that leak being that they made it that much easier for DJs to ...
