1	The Budos Band II (2007) more music like this by The Budos Band This Brooklyn-based instrumental collective combines slow-burn Afro-beat rhythms with a '70s soul-jazz aesthetic, the latter sound well-known by those already familiar with the Daptone label's other releases. The retro, almost blaxploitation soundtrack groove pushes the predominantly Afro style into American soul territory. They call it "Afro-soul ... see all copies from $10.32! new only from $13.37!
2	100 Days, 100 Nights (2007) more music like this by Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings Sharon Jones, the big-voiced lead singer of the Dap-Kings -- a band that recently began making its name known outside those enthusiasts of the Daptone label and the reaches of the soul community thanks to appearances with Amy Winehouse and work for Mark Ronson, including a version of Dylan's "Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)" -- is ... see all copies from $10.48! new only from $10.48!
3	Naturally (2005) more music like this by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings Following up her excellent 2002 debut, Sharon Jones stays true to the formula she laid down on her early releases and Dap Dippin' by presenting another session of full-force funk that pays homage to the genre's glory years without coming off as contrived. The deep funk revival continues with Jones belting out commanding vocal performances that are ... see all copies from $9.24! new only from $11.63!

5	Kaboom! (2007) more music like this by The Dynamites/Charles Walker Old-school shouter Charles Walker joins the established eight-piece Nashville based Dynamites and the union is a match made in hard funk heaven. The band is led by guitarist/producer/arranger Leo Black, who also wrote all but one of the songs on this rousing debut. But it's the ghost of James Brown that hangs heavy over this music and if you erase ... see all copies from $2.76! new only from $7.95!
6	Hit the Floor (2005) more music like this by Breakestra A solid serving of contemporary funk at its finest, Breakestra's first outing for Ubiquity moves beyond the classic funk covers of their Live Mix series for a set of all original material, and the results are consistently impressive. Keep in mind that the songs -- roughly half of them instrumental, the rest mostly party-minded jams sung with ample ... see all copies from $12.21! new only from $14.69!
7	Step It Up (2006) more music like this by The Bamboos With their limited-edition 7"s making waves among beat heads and soul connoisseurs around the world, the Bamboos were quickly snapped up by Tru Thoughts in the U.K. and Ubiquity in the U.S. for their debut album. And Step It Up lives up to the hype and then some, as the band is as tight as any modern-day funk ensemble could possibly be. Exorcising ... see all copies from $11.04! new only from $16.00!
8	Dap Dippin' with Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings (2002) more music like this by Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings It's hard to believe that Sharon Jones' debut LP is a product of the year 2002, for several reasons. Given the excellent singles she recorded for Desco beginning in the late '90s, it seems like she would have gotten the opportunity for a full-length sooner; plus, her brand of raw, heavy, hard-driving funk is such a throwback to the '70s, and she ... see all copies from $8.80! new only from $11.20!
9	Sugar's Boogaloo (1998) more music like this by Sugarman Three The Sugarman Three's debut album, Sugar's Boogaloo, is a slice of vintage Blue Note-style soul-jazz, with alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson being perhaps the most obvious touchstone. The music is primarily driven by groove and rhythm, with Neal Sugarman's melodic, R&B-based saxophone providing most of the leads. Sugarman's playing stays solidly ... see all copies from $9.23! new only from $11.86!
10	Pure Cane Sugar (2002) more music like this by Sugarman Three Picking up where their 7" singles left off, Sugarman Three provides 11 memorable, booty-shaking moments on this 2002 release. Although Sugarman Three has received many Jon Spencer comparisons from indie rock circles, Pure Cane Sugar is a slick and soulful slab of raw R&B that carries little of the screaming and noise of Spencer's outfit. Instead, ... see all copies from $8.80! new only from $11.63!
11 view cover	Soul Explosion (1998) more music like this by Daktaris The Daktaris' 1998 debut, Soul Explosion, is dedicated to the memory of Fela Kuti, who pretty much single-handedly invented Afro-beat. The Daktaris are clearly influenced by Fela's signature style, mixing jazz and funk riffs with the hypnotic rhythms of his native Nigeria, but their groove-oriented music is much more accessible to the novice ... see all copies from $11.86! new only from $11.86!
12 view cover	Deuces Up, Double Down (2001) more music like this by Breakestra The follow-up to their 2000 LP, the Deuces Up, Double Down EP expands upon Breakestra's old-school funk mastery. While their debut displayed the band's proficiency in performing the classic breaks of the genre, these extraordinarily funky five tracks, along with their discography of underground 45s, lay deep into their stark ability to contribute ... see all copies from $4.48! new only from $4.79!
13 view cover	Wildflowers (2004) more music like this by Connie Price & Keystones Those seeking an un-ironic return to the classic days of jazz and funk, played by a group of live musicians who swing and churn with the best of the old-school need look no further than this album by Los Angeles-based Connie Price & the Keystones. Produced (in the traditional sense) by Dan Ubick for Stones Throw's equally old-fashioned off-shoot, ... see all copies from $12.02! new only from $13.59!
14 view cover	Destination...Get Down! (2005) more music like this by The Diplomats of Solid Sound Iowa City's keepers of the good groove, the Diplomats of Solid Sound are serving up more old-school funk and soul on their third album, Destination...Get Down! The biggest change in the group's attack this time out is the addition of David Basinger on sax, who adds a new level of muscle and atmosphere to the Diplomats' signature sound, but for the ... see all copies from $10.82! new only from $13.25!
15 view cover	Sounding Out the City (2005) more music like this by El Michels Affair As the work of DJ Spooky and other turntablists indicates, there's a seemingly limitless supply of rare and obscure deep funk grooves out there. However, attempts to replicate the sound have mostly been botched by inappropriate use of "updated" instruments and technology, creating a mutant half-breed that never quite works. Not so with the debut ... see all copies from $10.93! new only from $10.93!
16 view cover	New Tones (2006) more music like this by NOMO The distorted thumb piano and handclap rhythms that introduce the title track of NOMO's second full-length (and its debut for Ubiquity), are jarring; they're instantly foreign and sharp, and lay out a different world of groove before those enormous horns -- the band's trademark -- electric bass, guitar, keyboards, and drum kit kick in full bore. ... see all copies from $5.67! new only from $6.60!
17 view cover	Coming to Tear the Roof Down (1995) more music like this by Lee Fields see all copies from $14.74! new only from $14.74!
18 view cover	Enough Is Enough (1992) more music like this by Lee Fields see all copies from $69.99! new only from $69.99!
19 view cover	The Killion Floor (2007) more music like this by Orgone After the redo of "Funky Nassau" went global with DJs, and scorching a bit in an Adidas commercial, Orgone could have gone the route of successive 12"s, remixes, and compilation cuts, but they take the plunge on this full-length. With 17 tracks totaling over 76 minutes, The Killion Floor is literally packed. Upon initial listening, the various ... see all copies from $11.77! new only from $14.69!
20 view cover	I'm Thankful (2006) more music like this by Spanky Wilson & the Quantic Soul Orchestra It was much to soul singer Spanky Wilson's surprise -- she didn't realize she had had such an impact -- when British multi-instrumentalist/producer Will Holland contacted her in her Los Angeles home in 2004, professing his love of her music and wondering if she'd collaborate with him. Still, she agreed to go the studio, and together they did two ... see all copies from $12.20! new only from $14.69!
21 view cover	Music City Soul (2007) more music like this by Beverley Knight see all copies from $10.12! new only from $20.12!
22 view cover	Skimming the Skum (2007) more music like this by Lefties Soul Connection see all copies from $12.56! new only from $14.19!
23 view cover	What Goes 'Round (2002) more music like this by Poets of Rhythm The bad news about this German funk ensemble is that it's shamelessly rewriting James Brown. But that's also the good news -- after all, Brown himself isn't doing it anymore, and a world without this sort of raw, horn-heavy, hip-shaking funk is no kind of world for anyone to have to live in. So really, to acknowledge that there's not a single ... see all copies from $8.50! new only from $10.64!
24 view cover	Talkatif (2002) more music like this by Antibalas Flooded by the influence of Fela Kuti, the sophomore studio album from New York's Antibalas is a most-accomplished offspring of the late, great founding father of Afro-beat music. Now a fully revitalized subgenre thanks to the American funk underground, this group of New York's finest groove players is 17 gentlemen deep and has been taking Afro ... see all copies from $8.94! new only from $28.18!
25 view cover	Instrumental Action Soul (2005) more music like this by The Diplomats of Solid Sound see all copies from $8.66! new only from $14.26!
