Pilgrims Of The Mind
What's Your Shrine?

Essential compilation of never released bedroom demos from THE funk writer, Charles Stepney. 23 cuts of raw soul and funk, some of which ended up with Earth, Wind & Fire and Rotary Connection. Lovingly compiled and organised by his three daughters (who speak and sing on the record)! TIP!!

1996 reissue of a UK soul classic! With a firm backing by neo-soul legends D'Angelo and Aaliyah, Lewis Taylor's self-titled debut is an astonishingly well-rounded blend of soul, sophisticated pop, smart grooves and laid-back funk. Big one for the soul heads!

Ambient jazz brilliance themed around the unstable logic of dreams. "It's like falling asleep on a long road - with each song you’re waking up somewhere new. How did I get here? Where are we going? Close your eyes, drift away again." Swirling piano, guitar and shimmering sonics for deep listening.

Brissie soul-maestro Jordan Rakei breaks out his alter ego for some housey swerves on the Bradley Zero's South London dance stronghold Rhythm Section! 4 soulful house heaters from the annoyingly master of all-trades local legend! Big tip!

Reissue of Strut's legendary 2001 3-disc compilation 'Nigeria 70', which set the benchmark for new labels archiving and releasing rare Afro-funk and Afro-jazz fusions. An essential exploration of the 1970s Lagos scene beyond Fela Kuti's work into deeply funky, soulful dance music. Check!
