We couldn’t close this electro binge out proper-like without including the best electro jam of all time - Hashim - Al-Naafiysh (The Soul)! So much goodness. I came up on this 1983 Cutting Records classic like eight years ago while I was sifting through $1 record bins in a Santa Cruz Flea Market. The great thing about this non-video YouTube video is that it has that two-minute extra bonus beat at the end of Side A. Wait for it…
It’s time!
Just feel it!
We can’t stop. There are just too many sick electro tracks wasting away on YouTube, when they should be living right here. This electro video isn’t even a video, but if you ever have an emergency Davy DMX - One For The Treble situation, you know where to go.
Wicky, wicky, wicky - shut up! We thought we’d keep the electro vids coming in bunches tonight so enjoy rockin out to Newcleus - Jam On It.
When you think of this classic electro track, it conjures up images of b-boys breakin’ back in the day. The video that first accompanied this super-influential 1983 jam is way different. Man Parrish may look fruity, but no one can take away the impact this song had hip hop culture and countless other electronic music genres. The electro label gets tossed around frequently these days, but whenever I think of funky electro music, Hip Hop Be Bop always comes to mind.
We put together a track called The Captain, and we had to share it with you. The Captain has been a big supporter of Funk Deli since day one. When it comes to force, of course, the Captain delivers without question. Creating a classic tribute track was mandatory. Enjoy.

The beat is all Isaac Hayes. We’ll take credit for the rest.
Yep, the Brand New Heavies still got it. Delicious Vinyl’s most celebrated funk act has been dropping soulful, funky jams for nearly two decades now. After a hiatus of sorts, the Heavies came out with a new album in 2006. With singer N’Dea Davenport back in the mix, the band went on a whirlwind tour to promote their latest offering - Get Used To It. Read the rest…
At Funk Deli, we’re always scouring through this crazy thing called the Internet to find nuggets of funk to pass on to our loyal readers. We came across a cash-money blog today that serves up hip hop jams and other goodies the way we like it — funky.
