Eric Krasno (a.k.a. KRAZ), founding member and guitarist in the excellent bands Soulive and Lettuce, has released his first mixtape combining old and new funk, soul, disco and hip-hop tracks. The playlist and download link for the complete mix is available on his Bandcamp page.

Lettuce – “Rage!” (2008)

Don’t let the band name fool you, this is straight up old-school funk played by a new generation of young musicians with plenty of tight chops and respect for the masters of the groove; James Brown, Tower Of Power, The Meters, Curtis Mayfield (which is featured on the album in the form of a very nice cover version of “Move On Up”) and many more. While all the members of the group are very competent players, their drummer Adam Deitch deserves special mention, he perfectly nails the funk down on every track.
