Big Pimp Jones - 21st Century Blaxploitation Vol.3 (MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com) 2011-05-05 Philadelphia's Big Pimp Jones have become quite big on the 21st Blaxploitation tip, with their two funky soundtracks to Blaxploitation movies that dont exist. They loved our previous mixes on the same theme (vol.1 and vol.2) - "Those first two volumes are super-dope, we are fans of your stuff as well, that's really nice work on the Black Cat mixtape. I'd be honored to throw a volume 3 together!" said Keith Foster from Big Pimp Jones. His mix is fun & funky, keeping the 21st century...

The Sound Stylistics - Greasin The Wheels
(CD) P-Vine Japan, 2009-06-02 / (CD/12") Freestyle Records FSRCD065/FSRLP065, 2009-07-27

Stylistics are back! 2 years on since the release of The Sound Stylistics' Play Deep Funk which one of the most sought after and best selling Freestyle albums ever, the band have returned with Greasin' The Wheels. This absolute killer follow up features the same line up plus very special guests such as Jan Kincaid (Brand New Heavies), Snowboy and guitarist Eddie Roberts (The New Mastersounds). The band have fused all their favourite influences together throughout this album, from film soundtracks, latin jazz to psychedelic soul to great effect. The highlights include the opening track Tie One On which is a nod to the soul jazz sound of the Prestige label circa late 60's, pumping drums sit underneath a crisp, irresistible horn riff that guitarist Al Cherry rides with an inimitable solo rooted in the style of legends like Cornell Dupree and Phil Upchurch and it's pure dance floor magic.

The Sound Stylistics - Play Deep Funk - out on Freestyle Records

The Sound Stylistics - Play Deep Funk
(CD) Freestyle Records FSRCD018, 2007-04-30

Recorded in 2002 as a Bruton library album, The Sound Stylistics Play Deep Funk album has weaved its way into funk folklore for collectors the world over, becoming a word of mouth phenomena and a collectors wet-dream due to its failure to ever get a proper release. Despite file-sharers, bootleggers and back-street dealers pushing illegitimate copies of the tracks, the legendary status of this lost album has not waned one bit. Performed by some of the best musicians on the planet, and a veritable who’s who on the London funk scene, the list is simply too amazing not to acknowledge fully here: James Taylor (JTQ), Jim Watson (Incognito), Mark Van der Gucht (Galliano], Eddie Roberts (New Mastersounds), Neil Robinson (JTQ), Simon Lee (Dr. Seuss), Andy Ross (The Herbaliser), Mike Smith (Jamiroquai), Nichol Thompson (Brand New Heavies), and Snowboy. Collectively they make up The Sound Stylistics, a virtual group and jam band of the highest order.
