Lets Boogaloo! Vol.2

A 16 track funk album (55m 55s) — released November 22nd 2004 on Record Kicks

Let's Boogaloo! volume 2 is the new groove kicks compilation featuring the best of new contemporary acid jazz, funk and hammond groove scene, as well as a few rarities you can't afford to miss. The compilation dashes off with the Finnish band Hypnomen dealing out a devastating version of "Need No Doctor" by the father of soul Ray Charles, and with the powerful "New York Soul" by the master Ray Barretto, a real manifesto of latin boogaloo. They are followed by England?s Speedometer with the song "Just Keep On" taken from the album "This is Speedometer", which confirmed them as one of todays best soul bands. Next the killer instrumental "Slush Puppy" by Slow Slushy Boys, the French band captained by Teen Axel and Benny Gordini and Bronx River Parkway with their track "Qienes Que Resolverlo" coming directly from the New York barrio. Freak off latin soul at its best! Acid Jazz have been on the crest of the wave of cool soundz for the past 15 years and recently released new singles by Spoon Bender and Andy Lewis. Mr. Frank Popp and his Ensemble have never been so heavily (northern) soulful with the stunning "Breakaway". Whereas Londons Skeewiff are unbeatable in setting the dance floor on fire. Listen to " The Spider" if you still have any doubts. Spain is second to none when it comes to dancefloor & acid jazz, presenting us with " Groovy La Notte", the title track of Asturian band Koniecs second album and followed up with The Natural Thing, who have the Hammond grooves best-kept musical secret in Mr. Sergio Albentosa. "Doggy Bag" by Slim Alan 3 from Finland's Helsinki is another irresistible dancefloor jazz hit. The compilation just had to include two funk & Latin soul classics such as "Somebody?s Been Sleepin? In My Bed" by Mexican band Cosa Nostra, a recent rare groove discovery made by VampiSoul, and "Lover & A Friend" by master Eddie Bo duetting with Inez Chetham in a 6Ts funk stomper you just want to get up and dance to. Last but not least, the Hammond groove of MiniVip's "Menage", and The Link Quartet's " Italian Playboys", the title track of their latest album, enhancing their top position in the new international acid jazz scene. There's nothing left to do, slip the CD in your player, crank up the volume and ... keep shaking, baby, keep shaking!
