SoulShaker hits n.7 with another trip around the world searching for the coolest in (deep) funk, (northern) soul, (jazzy) afrobeat and more. Once again on this new SoulShaker all the bands being featured are from the contemporary scene, with lots of exclusive contributions and previously unreleased stuff on CD compilation.

On the funk side we have the original vocal version of “His Voice” by Elder Williams Smith, produced by New Zealand funk addict Kris Holmes and brought to popularity by Jazzman Gerald who spotted the instrumental version on his “Let’s Boogaloo vol.5” comp. Here we find the original vocal version, followed by RAY HARRIS & THE FUSION EXPERIENCE’s “Scaramunga (B Dub rmx)”, which won the Scaramunga rmx competition, as well as brand new singles by our very own DOJO CUTS and Bordeaux lions of funk The Shaolin Temple Defenders.

A bit of afrobeat courtesy of a little teaser from the much awaited debut album by The Liberators, expected to land on Record Kicks in 2011 and thanks to our folks KOKOLO AFROBEAT ORCHESTRA.

On the soul side we have Spanish band The Pepper Pots produced by Dap-Kings guitarist Binky Griptite and a contemporary northern soul stormer by The Teenagers feat skinhead reggae legend Roy Ellis (Symarip/Pyramids). Also funky-jamaican courtesy of Los Granadians del Espacio Exterior and THE CRABS CORPORATION, more nitty gritty with exclusive new singles from THE BAKER BROTHERS, THE HI-FLY ORCHESTRA and Ray Lugo’s L.E.S. EXPRESS plus much more. With such a lineup of artists there’s really not much to add, SoulShaker Vol.7 is where it’s at….see ya on the dancefloor!
