Wagram France Vinilo y CD

Review: As any digger knows, Wagram do a fine line in compilations. They expertly assembled fresh tracks from various different scenes and sounds and now they turn their focus to what they are calling a 'nu funk sound.' All of these cuts are from contemporary tastemakers such as Kaytranada, The Quantic Soul Orchestra and Alice Russell. They take in sunny broken beats like 'Breackdance Lesson N' as well as jazzy funk workouts like 'Hold It Down' and seductively deep beats like 'Buckle Up' (feat Soweto Kinch). A great pick up.

Review: We are mightily impressed by the work that the Wagram label has been going of late. In the last few months they have rolled out a seemingly unending number of compilations all with a very different focus. There has been techno, house, hip-hop, soul, funk and many more niches in between. This time they look to Miami funk on a collection of tunes subtitled Funk Gems From Henry Stone Records, which tells you all you need to know. Milton Wright, George and Gwen McCrae, The Jimmy Castor Bunch and many more touchstones of this sound all feature on an uplifting, well assembled and essential comp.
