The team of Milan’s premiere funk and soul label, Record Kicks, just love showcasing the amazing music they have at their disposal via the label’s vast back catalogue. From time to time, they go in for a proper rummage and set about handpicking tracks in a certain style or with a certain sound to feature on one of their lovingly curated compilation albums. In the beginning, they brought us the Soul Shaker and Let’s Boogaloo series’, but as the label grew and expanded its horizons, compilations such as Soul Sides, Funk Sides, Afro Sides, Summer Soul, Beats and Breaks and my favourite of them all, Funk Soul Sisters soon followed on.
Back at the beginning of December 2022, the Record Kicks team introduced a brand new compilation series to the fold in the form of Cinematic Nuggets and because of its epicness, we had to send it your way. Featuring eleven tracks from the very best of the label’s roster, which includes The Diasonics, Calibro 35, Third Coast Kings, Electric Circus and Hannah Williams & The Tastemakers, amongst others, the listener is taken through deep psychedelic grooves, afro-jazz-funk and B-movie-inspired badass tune that offers a new journey into a groovy psychedelic funk world. There’s mystery and suspense in parts, while in others, it’s all-out action, but where you turn, the quality is captured beautifully in every shot. Can’t rate this one high enough, but as always, the proof is in the listening. Enjoy!
