Plenty of digger's delights to be found here within this collection of quality music from around the globe. This Bandcamp celebration of rare groove digging features a diverse selection psych, Funk, Soul Jazz and more styles of music.
Whether you're looking to zone out to sounds you're not used to hearing on the radio or catch a sample moment, Cinedelic provides gems for your ear. Some of the best of their collection is the Japanese Jazz Fusion and Funk projects, a couple of which I've featured in this post along with a funky live album by Gary Bartz.

Sublabel:
MONDO GROOVE / AFRODELIC / SOAVE
The versatile and talented singer/songwriter/producer Beatchild (formerly known as Slakah) lends his musical hand to create a joyful fusion of Psych and Soul on "Heavy Rockin' Steady". As you may be able to tell by the cover, Slakah is inspired by sounds of the late 60's on this project. Let your cares be free and go california coasting' with Beatchild & The Slakadeliqs who merge sounds of the past and present to celebrate the good life.
From the soft-psych rock of the Souls of Inspyration to the Latin Hard Salsa Boogaloo of La Sonaramica de Mario Allison, Peruvian independent label Repsychled digs far in the crates for obscure psychedelic gems of the 1960's. They manufacture high quality reissues from peruvian rock music of 60's & 70's.
Most of them came from original master tape, and were remastered very carefuly to avoid any distortion who affects the original intention of the albums' recoridng. All of their releases are fully licensed from labels or artists as reissues which include bonus and unreleased tracks.
Head over to repsych.bandcamp.com music for many more albums and singles to comb through for psychedelic escapism.
"Freedom Is Free, the group is now incorporating the rhythms of American soul and funk music. I've been so accustomed to their Global South syncretism that it took me a moment to place why, on "Angel Child," the snap of Eduardo Arenas' bassline and angular attack of both Martinez and Carlos Arévalo's guitars felt so familiar and then it hit me: It's pure James Brown." - Oliver Wang for NPR
For songwriting which reflects heartfelt emotion in an edgy and profound way, Eric Krasno blends Rock, Funk and Soul to projects feelings from within on the psych-driven "Blood From A Stone" which features appearances by Derek Trucks, as well as members of Soulive, Lettuce and The London Souls. This album represents a new reveal of Krasno's artistry as he draws from the Rock influences he grew up with and progresses to "both literally and metaphorically finds his voice".
Known for banging on your eardrum with an aggressive and intense sound of Soul, this time The Monophonics offer a pleasant dream in a song driven by psychedelic feel featuring beautiful string arrangements and vintage keyboards.

The Decoders demand respect and it can be felt in the emotion of their music as they go from multiple styles of Soul to soothing you with the psychedelic sound of this tune. The Decoders are at it again with another Rotary Connection cover of a cover, the classic known as "Respect" made famous by the likes of Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin. This time, they have enlisted the talents of Oakland based chanteuse Mara Hruby (www.marahruby.com) and the illustrious Van Hunt (www.vanhunt.com). This track will be included on their upcoming full length album release, "Adventures From Paradise: A Tribute To Minnie Riperton" coming out later this year. Check out the video for "Respect" which gives an intimate look into their process of working on the song.
