“An intergalactic journey into black space, fuelled by funk, powered by computers.”

London’s Soul Jazz Records is releasing a new funk and electro compilation, titled Space Funk – Afro Futurist Electro Funk in Space 1976-84, on triple vinyl this November.

Listen next: A vinyl-only mix from UK label Soul Jazz Records

Soul Jazz collected the rare electro and funk songs from small, independent labels.

Its 15-tracks span from the infectious funk of Santiago’s ‘Bionic Funk’ to Jamie Jupitor’s futuristic, drum-heavy ‘Computer Power’ and the classic disco sounds of JUJU & the Space Rangers’ ‘Plastic’.

Space Funk – Afro Futurist Electro Funk in Space 1976-84 follows Soul Jazz Record’s 2018 romantic reggae compilation Lovers Rock, which featured music including Marcia Griffith’s ‘Truly’ and Horace Andy’s ‘I’ll Be Gone’.
