Just by looking at the cover art and variety of grooves, these collections remind me of digging at Sound Library and other remarkable record dealers. Charly Records & Sound Essence bring hours of ear candy to Bandcamp with albums catered to the crate digger and Funk enthusiast. These collections are here to take you to the promise land with the music of various bands who demonstrate the colorful spectrum of this genre. 

"Free The Black Man's Chains" by The Afro-American Ensemble is a funky get-down like none other. Enjoy songwriting which reflects the desire to escape by a band that use the Funk, Soul and Blues to make you feel like overcoming it all. "Eselsfutter" by Günther Fischer Quintett is obscure and spaced-out Jazz Funk in the vein of CTI Records. Get into a groove as this German multi-instrumentalist offers some previously unreleased gems from '74. Just a few gems from the Charly Records & Sound Essence catalogs which you can explore more of at each of their Bandcamp pages.

"Catalyst with Farnell Newton and Deivid Iguaran is a First and only single from my highly anticipated Jazz fusion album known as 'Dragonfly'. After the release of Resonance, an overwhelming about of support has made me sought out to create a full length project that infused different styles of jazz with different electronic musical techniques like granulizing samples to make new pads or textures. With its groovy off beat drums and catchy melody, this single marks a new era for SYNC.EXE."
