Format: 12''

Samosa Records comes at you with all the elements for Earth, Wind & Funk Vol. 2 – a succulent double slice of vinyl heaven! 

DeGama unlocks his ReGroove toolkit for A1 – Leslie Lello’s house stomper ‘R U Doing’.  The bass does all the talking before a glorious synth arrangement washes over your ears. The filtered, soaring, time stretched breakdown will have you in raptures. Pure late night dance floor territory, ‘R U Doing’ is simply relentless. 

Frank Virgilio gets his ‘Juice’ flowing for track A2. A fusion of furious acid style synth bass, rolling beats, organ stabs and bongos, ‘Juice’ doesn’t waste any time at all in revealing all of its glory. There’s so much goodness going on in this track – no less than the glorious, uplifting  tribal vocal that weaves its way in and out.

A3 gives a reprise of Leslie Lello’s ‘R U Doing’ with the original cut making a welcome appearance on the disc. All the ingredients are here – tight bongo led rhythm, gorgeous sequenced synth and driving bass. ‘R U Doing’ is one of those smile inducing tunes that lights up the floor, be that sunset or sunrise. 


On the B-side of this Part.2 we return to the company of Dirty Elements & Drunk Drivers with ‘Hey You’ and another DeGama Re-Groove. Coming in at 124pm, ‘Hey You’ leads you up the piano dazzler path – a pounding, funk fuelled story set in the big city after midnight with no cabs home available. 

On  B2 Iberian groove master Javi Frias bakes all his funk in one big pie with ‘The Big Dance’. At a heady 128bpm, ‘The Big Dance’ wastes no time in setting its stall out. Javi’s recipe is electric, elaborate and fast-paced – oodles of bongos, laser beams and a disco bass to die for, ‘The Big Dance’ does exactly what it says on the tin.  


In Earth, Wind & Funk Vol. 2 Samosa Records has produced a stunning double slab release, featuring a good mix of some of the label’s most prolific artists and some welcome newcomers.

Dublin guitarist-bandleader Max Zaska teams up with Cork jazz-rap producer jarjarjr on The Papez, a hip hop–funk–soul single with irresistible bounce. The track contrasts jarjarjr’s biting verses about the predatory music business with ZASKA’s melodic counter-chorus (“time equals money”). Influenced by Mac Miller and Khruangbin, The Papez delivers sharp critique wrapped in groove.

Soul Injection (all vinyl)

An analog tribute - a selection of hits from the 1970s and 1980s, when Cameroon's music scene was a vibrant mix of traditional rhythms, modern instrumentation, and global influences, reflecting both urban sophistication and deep-rooted cultural heritage. During this period, Cameroonian artists were experimenting with blending indigenous music—like Bikutsi from the Beti people and Makossa from Douala—with funk, jazz, soul, and early electronic elements, creating a distinctive sound that resonated locally and internationally.

In this selection you can find artists like: 
Pasteur Lappe was known for his lively performances and socially conscious lyrics. His style often incorporated upbeat rhythms, melodic basslines, and call-and-response vocals that engaged audiences both in nightclubs and on the radio.

Mistic Djim brought a slightly more experimental edge, mixing traditional Cameroonian rhythms with electric guitars and synthesizers, producing a hypnotic, danceable sound that bridged rural traditions and urban modernity.

Francis Bebey stood out for his eclectic approach. A true musical polymath, he combined African folklore, electronic experimentation, and Western classical techniques, creating innovative compositions that often featured the balafon, flute, and early synthesizers. His music was intellectual, poetic, and avant-garde, pushing the boundaries of African popular music.

Overall, the Cameroonian scene of the 1970s and 1980s was marked by creativity and hybridity: artists honored their local musical roots while absorbing and transforming international trends, contributing to the global recognition of genres like Makossa and laying the groundwork for contemporary African pop and world music.
