In The Spotlight

Cantaloop – “Slip It Back”

Based in Worcester, this British funk outfit has been making sweet hiphop-infused funk and soul since 2001, which saw the release of their debut album “Groove Operators”. They tirelessly tour the UK and Europe with an exhilarating live show, impressing audiences with their volcanic funk/soul sound and have shared the stage with the likes of Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Roy Ayers and De La Soul.

Their new single is a funkalicious fusion of a swanky smooth groove with extravagant horns, a hiphop-style chorus and Dannie Dee’s soul-dripping vocals, creating an auditory tapestry of both retro and modern sounding funkiness. With an added hallelujah from Reverend Cleve’s funky preachings and the blazing brass of The Haggis Horns, it’s a vibrant nu-funk jam with all the swagger.

In The Spotlight

Megan Vice – “Nobody Freakin'”

This New York born and raised songstress grew up dipped in the music of her heroes, like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Prince. With an urge to sing and perform ingrained in her DNA, she was soon writing her own unique material. Her fusion signature sound of disco, rock, R&B and contemporary pop first saw the light on her aptly named debut EP “Step On The Scene” from 2013.

Take a lyrical narrative about a bad boyfriend and a love affair gone sour, immerse it in a magical mixture of pop, R&B and disco, lace it with some pure 80s flavors and you have the recipe for the lustrous and sassy groove that is her latest single. A funky bass, sweet harmonies and sultry, euphonic vocals, make this glittery musical gem both funkaliciously vintage and infectiously modern.
