Vulfpeck came onto our radar thanks to Funkatopia fans of our 2. Freekbass – Cincinnati (Amazon .

2012 was a great year for good soul, jazz and funk releases on CD and Vinyl. Here's our look back at the best of the year 2012.
While not full of funk front to back, there was enough funky tunes between the two of them to easily qualify as one bad to the bone collection. Some of his best stuff in years landed on these two full length gems, the second of which came in completely under the radar to even his most devoted fan sites.

If Cameo would have taken their Word Up days and continued the journey, this is what it would have sounded like. Be sure to check the full Funkatopia Review. Analog Son – Stomp and Shout (Amazon .
Easily one of our favorite new funk bands that has tons of jazz influences, but your head won’t stop bouncing during this ten track masterpiece. Stomp and Shout is a force to be reckoned with and could be one of the best funky releases in a very long time. This year they hit the ground running with a brand new full length album that continues the funk mastery of the first album Libra Stripes. There aren’t a lot of bands that have this full sound that is filled wth heavy emotion and nuance. Th Seattle based band delivers a heaping helping of what they call afro- psycho- beat, but whatever you call it, it’s funky and delicious. Caboose – Coupe (Amazon . This collection of songs was put together as a memoriam to their keyboardist Jonathan Cooper in order to properly capture the magic that was Caboose.
The end result was a blast of insanely good music that literally puts itself into the category of true funk classic. Be sure to read the full Funkatopia review here. Dam Funk – Invite The Light (Amazon . It’s undeniably funky. Read the full review on Funkatopia here. Tuxedo – Tuxedo (Amazon . While this super- duo team had amazing solo careers in full swing, they decided that there was a hole to be filled and they would be the ones to fill it.
In the spirit of Chic, Plush, Shalamar and Zapp, Tuxedo was a welcome surprise that landed in a perfect spot and was the gift that just kept giving. Judith Hill – Back in Time (i.
Tunes . The result was the release of her debut album Back In Time which contained some of the most blistering funk this side of Minneapolis. Prince got sued by her producer when he launched her album for free to Live Nation subscribers for a brief period of time and took it down 2. While it’s not free anymore, it’s worth every single dime. The Main Squeeze – Mind Your Head (Amazon .
Fronted by huge powerful vocals, funky grooves with a dash of jam band influences, there’s just nothing like The Main Squeeze. Ohio Players – More Funky Soul Party (Amazon . Every album brings new flavor to showcase a new musical boundary for them.
Into The Deep finds Galactic returning to their roots bringing deep heavy grooves with massive hooks and melody lines. It’s an album full of great tracks with some guest spots by Macy Gray, Mavis Staples and many more. Monophonics – Sound Of Sinning (Amazon . It’s deep, growly, funky soul. Pimps of Joytime – Jukestone Paradise (Amazon .
No two songs sound alike even though their style is haunting and at some times even a bit trippy. But that’s what makes Pimps all that more special.
The Internet– Ego Death (Amazon . The Internet came to our attention from Funkatopia friend Janelle Monae, The Internet are moody, theatrical, funky and full of sexual charge right out of the gate. The offshoots of the Odd Future family show no signs of slowing down while continually touring the country in various festivals. The Internet are starting to gain some serious traction and the positive vibes you’re hearing are completely worth it. THE OVERSIGHT PICKThe oversight pick is an album that we somehow lost our minds and completely missed.
Not because we didn’t know it existed, but we just forgot to include it in the list for final consideration and if it had been on the list, it , without a doubt, unquestionably, would have been in the top 2. This year, there was no excuse. We just made a very stupid mistake. Time to fix that oversight right here, right now. But we’re not kicking anyone off the list and are making good on our oversight.
