The Oslo Soul Experience is a monthly soul club held in the cozy basement pub of John Dee. The OSE is loaded with upbeat soul music and other funky licks. If you visit the Oslo Soul Experience website, you can view scans of 45s and listen to fast-loading soulful music tracks with a funky twist (check out “Cut You Loose” by Ricky Allen in the sounds section).
Visit the Radio section to download long sets of soulful jams interspersed with bits of Norwegian intros. You’ll enjoy upbeat sets that add substance to any occasion — from party soundtracks to long drives to kicking back at home. The OSE serves up a wide interpretation of soul, so if you want to sample different soulful flavors, download these radio show mp3s and discover which taste of soul you find the sweetest.
Once again we have the funky styling of Mr. Scruff and his band of happy potato figures. This is the video for Mr. Scruff’s upbeat jazzy-journey track “Get A Move On.” Check out the Mr. Scruff homepage for more animated potato-happy goodness.
I’m going to keep the goofy funky video vibe going here with two vids from Mr. Scruff. This first Mr. Scruff video is called “Sweet Smoke,” and it features the Ninja Tune artist’s signature happy potato art.
This wildly entertaining Cut Chemist video called “Spat” is a recorded conversation between two very different turntables. TFU Studios is responsible for the video production. I think it’s fantastic.
So I’m constantly on the hunt for other funk-filled blogs, and I came across a beauty today — www.Soul-Side.com. Soul Side features all sorts of funky downloads, interesting music takes from Oliver “DJ O-Dub” Wang and more.

It’s a great way to get your weekend started off right. Make sure to visit Soul Sides and explore the wide world of funk and soul!

Here’s the latest installment of Track Jacket Tuesdays. This Timberland Apparel Track Jacket is crisp, sporty and fit for any occasion. It’s even got a slight funky freshness to it. This particular Timberland track jacket is available for about $60 over at Shiekh Shoes.
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…
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.
