This week in the stack we celebrate birthdays of Joe Sample and Rick James. RIP Sly Dunbar. It's forty years since Janet Jackson's Control dropped, so that's in the mix too...

Otherwise it's the usual - papering over the cracks between Brazilian boogie, Turkish psych, bit of Latin, jazz-funk, soul, whatever else made sense at the time. Three hours from the crates as usual.

Sorry for the bCast delay! This week's show was helmed by Jubt with special guest OoGuN of Drunk Elephant Sound in tow. Tunes ranged from spiritual jazz, central african electrified thumb piano, West African highlife, Syrian dance floor bangers, and heavy UK dub pressure to boot.

You know what it is: from gospel, jazz fusion, or cooking it up with of Nigerian and Ghanaian music from the golden age, not to mention OoGuN's own goodies to join the mernagerie of Italian library bits, a Latin twist, something for the Deadheads, and a UK digi rarity that settles all arguments about who's the baddest. Press the button whynot?!

Tonight we spin some 2025 favourites alongside a couple to mark the passing of legendary guitarists Phil Upcharch and Steve Cropper. We are joined in the studio by Dusty Crates.

Welcome to our latest dig with K&J are back with another three hours of global funk, soul, and rhythm that spans four decades and about as many continents. This week's selections run from Karriem Riggins' jazz-inflected collaboration with GENA and Liv.e on "Circlesz" to the sunbaked Braziliana of Vania Bastos and Chico De Abreu, with detours through Tokyo city pop courtesy of Kaoru Akimoto's "Wagamama na high heels" and some proper Nigerian funk from Mannix Okonkwo. Whether it's the yachty sophistication of Hamish Stuart's "Midnight Rush" or the raw energy of Goat's "Ouroboros," every track here earned its spot through one criterion: prone to induce ear-worm infestations.

Press play on this bcast for the full experience: from which pressing of Ramsey Lewis you need to hunt down to the scene that birthed Jimmy Salcedo's Colombian psychedelia. Forty tracks that prove the best funk has no borders, and a universal visa!

It's your funkle Campbell back again with silly season selections to soothe the sore head after too many [insert cheapest beverage work can get away with paying you] at the work Xmas party. Soul, jazz, tropical and disco nuggets to help you forget!

This week on the show, our guest Jonathan Bywater turns up with a crate that demonstrates he’ll follow musical inspiration wherever it happens to be hiding, genres be damned. One moment he’s floating through The Midnight Express Show Band's "Tri-Fire" boogie demo or the globe-trotting boom-bap of Chillin’ Villains, the next he’s swerving into Cash Money Millionaires like it’s still 2000 and everyone’s wearing unbelievably large denim.

Then he returns to the roots: Vernon Garrett preaching, U.S. Warren doing tough-love blues, even Kahil El’Zabar’s deep-water ritualism sits comfortably next to Cooper-Moore and Hamid Drake’s shimmering “Five Angels by the Stream.”

Then we're heavy loungin' with Enoch Light’s "Shaft" and some private press business courtesy of the Randon Bros, before jettin' south to break out the claves and acordion for Conjunto Miramar's Columbian Cumbia heater "Carruseles", Nuyorican swinger Ricardo Ray and other latin treats. Enjoy
