André Granada [Funkamente]

Rocky Marsiano ‎– Meu Kamba XL | RM
One of my favorites from the tuga, skilled producer and great guy. This reissue is a must have.

The Temptations ‎– House Party | Tamla
The classic five never disappoints, cheerful groovy tunes perfect for the dancefloor (wherever it is)!

Rufus with Chaka Khan ‎– Camouflage | MCA
The whole record is fire, and such an incisive move on Chaka’s carrer, don’t snooze.

Arrested Development ‎– Zingalamaduni | Crysalis
A huge record lost in time with beautiful influences and a powerful message. I’ll probably buy it myself.

Victor – Amerikan Dread | Music from Memory
I can’t get enough of this jam and i’m also a big fan of Lipelis’ extended dub (and most of his work).

Outra – Brazil Edits EP | AM
We’ve been rocking this ban edit a while before it was out and now you can too! the rest of the record is filled with cool crafty edits like the person behind them.

Tiago Pinto (Funkamente)

William “Bootsy” Collins ‎– The One Giveth, The Count Taketh Away | WB
There’s only a few people walking on Earth that can be rightfully called a funkateer and bootsy’s definitely one of them. it’s funky, baby!

Hugo Fattoruso – Hugo Fattoruso Y Barrio Opa | Far Out Recordings
Great album by Fattoruso, one of the latin jazz’s greatest. disclaimer: confessed Far Out fan over here.

Funkapolitan – Funkapolitan | London Records
Somewhow only discovered this one randomly while browsing records in london and definitely one i keep going back to.

Grandmaster & Melle Mel ‎– White Lines (Don´t don´t do it) | Sugar Hill
A true classic from sugarhill, including the controversy. grandmaster is credited only for the sake of name dropping and the bassline (maybe something else) was lifted off liquid liquid’s cavern. tune

VA – P&P Disco | Demon
One of the most comprehensive compilations of disco anthems released recently. packed with fast and slow jams, it’s a great bang for your buck.

John Morales ‎– The M+M Mixes Volume 3 (Part A) | BBE
There’s something about the M&M mixes. maybe it’s the slow burning impetus, maybe it’s the perfectly placed drum breaks, maybe it’s the loooong versions smoothly taking you to the center of the dancefloor. this volume’s got ‘em all and includes 4 previously unreleased edits right off the M+M vaults.
