VA - Keb Darge Presents: The Best Of Legendary Deep Funk (2016) Lossless

After losing his Northern soul collection, veteran DJ and fabled crate-digger Keb Darge began collecting the rare funk he shared at his Deep Funk sessions at Soho's Madame Jojo's through BBE's Legendary Deep Funk series in the late 90s.
Darge has selected 21 tracks from those three compilations to create a stellar barrage of impossibly rare 70s funk nuggets first released on tiny independents.
While many here, including Ricky Calloway, Carleen & The Groovers, Leon Gardner and The Chefs homage then-omnipotent James Brown through funky drummer beats, scratch guitars and cockroaches-in-the-pants yelping, Joe Washington's Blueberry Hill heists Kool & The Gang's party funk blueprints and Soul Drifter's Funky Brother unleashes savage guitar riffs worthy of Hendrix's Band Of Gypsys.
Family Of Eve's Kenny Dope-edited I Wanna Be Loved By You hotwires proto-disco grooves, Dee Edwards' I Can Deal With That evokes gritty Ann Peebles soul and Golden Toadstools' Silly Savage rides aboard a surreal Stax variant; the tip of an iceberg that also contains fabulous obscurities such as the mysterious Cross Bronx Expressway and The Fabulous Mark III's rampant Psycho. A second disc boasts 17 highlights mixed together by DJ Mr Thing; perfect for the party season.
