Anyone have any hometown heroes that they want to recommend?

Maybe some of you have been following Soil & "PIMP" Sessions, a "death jazz" band from Japan that was lauded by Gilles Peterson and toured Europe and the US a bit over a decade ago. Their new album is absolutely incredible so I wanted to share with the Strut. It's out on CD in Japan...

I bought this LP ages ago for "Funkanova", played it out a few times and stowed it away. Cut to two months ago when I moved house and set up a nicer setup to listen to records and started pulling out LPs I hadn't listened to in ages. And when I put it on I was floored. This record is all killer...

There's probably a thread like this somewhere in the archives but I thought, why not start a new one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjq4bk75rdg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88uhh-TXcnw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDPa-uxRKRs

I keep getting burned (or did, before I had to take an extended break from buying records) by shoddy reissues of long time wants that are out of my budget. Keep thinking that a YouTube channel/internet website homepage that just did A/B comparisons (short segments of the key tracks) of the...

Hello gang, Happy to share with you my latest mix of 80s boogie, funk and modern soul.Many thanks to Raj for hosting it on the Soul Strut SoundCloud. Went full mid-80s with this one with the accompanying drum machines and heavy synth.Some well known cuts in there and hopefully a few lesser...

Stark on tape! https://www.ebay.com/itm/313229709573?mc_cid=41dee74e31&mc_eid=48d4a034c9 Sadly it's only half the record, but any tape collectors here?

Quality tracks that were once considered bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8basACl30o

Any current TV favorites from the present or past? Recently, I've enjoyed the following: I May Destroy You (super well-written British series about consent)Castle Rock (Stephen King horror/mystery vibes)I'll Be Gone In The Dark (doc on hunt for the Golden State Killer)Legendary (voguing...

Hey gang, I'm looking for gay musicians to feature in a thing I'm planning for gay pride next year in my neck of the woods and am looking for your help for suggestions. Thinking of doing a float at the parade representing contributions to music that challenges peoples perception of what "gay"...

Have you checked this dude out? His 7-inch DJ game is unreal. https://www.instagram.com/p/BnXY1shBfyw/ Juggling a pair of $200 45s like that, oof. :facemelt:

Hey gang, Just put out a new mix of various mostly 80s disco, funk and boogie jams. This series of mixes was born here (made to celebrate 1000 posts on the old forum) so I thought I better post it on here. Please repost on SoundCloud if you dig, I'd appreciate getting more ears to this thing...

Hey gang, Just wanted to post my new mix here, seeing as this whole series of mixes was born at this very site (the first one was to celebrate 1000 posts on here). Now 9 years later I have the ninth installment, same overall vibe as the rest, offering various bits of soulful jams from the...

Greetings strutters! Anyone have any info in this (presumably early) 45 by Sid Bucknor? Picked up in Tokyo a few years back and found it again in the collection the other day. Nothing on Discogs and Google isn't helping. Thanks!

Hellllllllo fellow Strutters, Moving back from Japan with a stop-over in Copenhagen during mid-Oct. Anyone around? Bringing my best records with me so would love a chance to play somewhere at a Strut-approved venue! Peace Arni Kristjansson

After long 18 months I finally put together another boogie mix. The recipe is the same as the previous ones: boogie, modern soul, funk and jams burrowing into freestyle and electro territory. I hope you enjoy. https://soundcloud.com/arnikristjansson/arni-kristjansson-boogie-mixx-8-2015 pcmr...

Hi all, Just about 4 days from completing my new mix Boogie Mixx 8. Been trying to contact Music Is My Sanctuary about premiering the mix on the site but have gotten no reply. Any strutters got leads to good spots to contact about premiering the mix? At least it'll get it's first play...

Hey gang, Are there any other ghetto house collectors on here? While I feel that the demand is growing higher (via Discogs) I don't feel that there are a lot of people playing this shit. Who's down with some seriously raunchy ghetto house from Dance Mania, Juke Trax etc? Btw, here is...

Hey Strutters! Just put up a new mix. The first one in the series was my 1000-posts-to-Soulstrut-mix so I hope you don't mind me posting this in the main section. Soulful music from the late 70s to the mid 80s with everything from gospel to sexually-explicit electro boogie. Enjoy...

Hey gang, Since I splashed on a full SoundCloud account I thought I'd upload some of my old mixes. Here's my first one (which I did to commemorate 1000 posts on SoulStrut) from 2008. Hope you enjoy! Arni Kristjansson - Boogie Mixx (2008) by arnikristjansson
