You need to come back, come to the roots Frankie, and stay with your true sound and your true spirit

EnTropical edit of classic Soul Searchers tune.

Added some whistles and some extra tambourine, beefed up the bass a bit and made the intro and outro more DJ friendly.

CHOOOOON!

Soul Searchers - Blow Your Whistle (Entropical Edit)

Hot off the back of his debut EP last year, Amsterdam-based ABE teams up with Vief for the London label’s fourth release of 2025.

Spanning afrotech, gqom, UK funky, Brazilian funk and much more, this four-tracker typifies everything Vief is about - championing the fresh, off-kilter sound that emanates from the pockets between strict genre boundaries. If you’re wanting some leftfield energy, look no further.

Instrumentals of the full Diamond Ortiz "Loveline" LP .

"Representing the Bay Area branch of MoFunk's ever-growing tree, Diamond Ortiz brings you "Loveline," his first full-length with the label. Fueled by the success of the "Zooted" single and subsequent "Boomerang EP," Diamond continues to expand on his heavy-bottomed, pulsating, soulful brand of funk. Underscored by deep synth bass lines and skull-shattering hand claps, contrasted perfectly with beautiful melody and joyful sentiments, as exemplified by song titles such as "She Chose Me," "We Clicked," and "Natural Fun."

His sound is not simply “retro” or “old school” as it has a place in the modern day pantheon of electronic music. He has featured with a who's who of LA Rappers from Kurupt to Nipsey Hussle, and current noise makers like LNDN DRGS, G Perico, Polyester, Disko, Teeko & Warm Brew to name a few. Diamond represents his Bay Area funk lineage faithfully into the future by connecting scenes and being a proponent of authentic G-Funk.

Weaving interchangeably between instruments & the human and electronic incarnations of his voice, it's easy to draw comparisons between his talkbox technique and those of his more iconic predecessors. Yet, while he makes reference with reverence, he does it in his own way, having distilled the blueprints of many into the sound of one - and it's ready to be heard in full on "Loveline."" -MofunkRecords.com

Neo funk rising star Buscrates aims high with Blasting Off, his 
first full-length album. The Pittsburgh-based keyboard 
cosmonaut has been grabbing ears since his days hooking up 
beats with the hip hop crew East Liberty Quarters, but after 
slinging spicy one-offs to a slew of hot labels like Omega 
Supreme, Voyage Funktastique and Razor N Tape (as well as 
contributing production to Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y’s 2009 
project), the time has come for a full-length featuring his 
growing modern funk repertoire. 
“I’m a ‘90s hip hop dude, but I grew up on that ‘80s funk stuff,” 
Buscrates acknowledges. DJ gigs provided a working 
knowledge of the jams that moved a contemporary crowd, and 
as his collection of keyboards and drum machines grew he 
began blending the best of both decades with his personal 
futuristic edge. “I was nice on the MPC but I wanted to have a 
little more dynamic range with what I was doing,” he notes. The 
self-described “certified synth geek” was soon branching into 
sounds that recalled ‘80s legend Kashif crossed with the hip 
hop bounce of DJ Spinna, and the modern funk community took 
notice. 

For his first full-length, Buscrates has crewed up with an ace 
team of collaborators, featuring vocalist Sally Green on the 
bouncy lead single “Lost And Found” and “Eight Nine.” Kate 
Moe Dee takes over mic duties for the second single, “How Ya 
Gonna Do It,” a slinky groove that slides in place alongside 
groups like the Sunburst Band and Rene & Angela as an 
exemplar of sophisticated R&B. Adding to those credentials are 
the sultry vocals of Anda on “Believe,” but of course, it wouldn’t 
be a Buscrates set without some stank, neck-snapping 

instrumentals. “Five Days” and “Sure Shot,” both collabos with 
the drum technician DJ Epik, will rattle speakers and have 
already been lighting up message boards on recent Buscrates 
DJ sets. Round things out with some easy gliding, jazzy funk 
(“Turn It Out” with Brothermartino on flute and “Evergreen” 
featuring Tony Ozier) and you’ve got all the ingredients for a 
high-flying cosmic ride with Buscrates at the controls.

Buscrates - Five Days (feat. DJ Epik)

"Call It Techno" was the blueprint track which was written on June 4, 1989.  It was at the forefront of European Rave Culture and became a well known track in the U.K. & Germany.  The documentary "We Call It Techno" explains it right from the beginning and from that came the second & third Love Parade themes being named "The Future Is Ours" off the XL/Citibeat LP by Musto & Bones.  And "My House Is Your House" from the Break Boys which was Frankie Bones aka on Fourth Floor Records in 1990.

Frankie became the American Pioneer of Rave Culture on both coasts in 1990, playing Techno as a movement.  The Peace, Love, Unity Movement which in 1993 became PLUR after a fight broke out at an event in The Bronx which had Richie Hawtin as it's headliner.

And the rest is history.  If words can paint the picture here, the first 5 Soundcloud links will describe a DJ who has a journey of a lifetime & still is active in 2024.  The music that comes from the heart & soul of the Brooklyn Underground.
