Ten years ago I was working in a local record shop, and I remember the first release on Chilli Funk, DSL’s ‘Enfusion’, arriving in a box of new releases, and I’ve been a fan ever since. With an extensive back catalogue, Lofty, the man behind Chilli Funk and selector of this compilation, has wisely chosen to spread the selection over two cds. If you’ve missed any of their back catalogue, this is the perfect opportunity to do some catching up. All the heavy weights are here: Nathan Haines, Eastwest Connection, Restless Soul, Marathon Men, Vanessa Freeman and Jody Watley, with remixes by the likes of Kenny Dope, Ashley Beedle, Blaze and DJ Gregory. A limited four track 12′ will also appear and as if that’s not enough, there is a bonus cd mixed by Notenshun. Phew, Chillifunk don’t do things in halves.
