Editorial Reviews

If you asked Keb to describe to you the concept of this compilation he’d most probably tell you where to go, in no uncertain terms... Funk Spectrum IV is exactly what you’d expect it to be but at the same time full of surprises & hidden delights. It’s a compilation of great, & more than often, rare funk tunes! However, ‘FUNK’ is a slightly obscure term as the tunes found on this compilation (& like those on past Spectrums) illustrate how the term Funk can be applied to records that are soulful, northern, disco, deep or attached to any number of other music industry adjectives!!! On this volume Keb is joined by LA’s finest rare 45s fiend Cut Chemist, who has reached notoriety also by being a part of both West Coast’s hip hop group Jurassic 5 & Latin funk band Ozomatli. He has also won acclaim as being part of the ‘Product Placement’ duo with yet another legendary funk collector Josh Davis pka DJ Shadow. Cut Chemist is a world famous turntablist, a remixer, producer & most importantly in this case an avid record collector! The songs selected here are both rare & raw - & that is the essence of this compilation.
