The Meters, Jimmy Smith, Boogaloo Joe Jones, James Brown, Muddy Waters, Rusty Bryant, Charles Earland, Brian Auger, and those other glorious contemporary stalwarts of hip grinding funky jazz & soul ... The New Mastersounds, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, The Poets of Rhythm...
Sounds Like
Funky guitar over serious bass & drum grooves with a screamin Hammond Organ over the top .. and oh yes a little bit of tube of confusion in dub breaks....

45s
Rev. Cleatus & The Soul Saviours: The Slip / White Stiletto (Freestyle 2005)
Mixing together funk, blues, soul and jazz, THE FANTASTICS! have released 45s on Freestyle, Raw Wax, and Tramp, performed live BBC sessions for Mark Lamarr and Craig Charles, and released albums on Freestyle Records and Soul Cookers (as Rev Cleatus & The Soul Saviours). Like their incendiary live performances around the UK and across Europe, the latest album 'Mighty Righteous' (Freestyle Records) rips up the the rigidly defined genres of 'the funk scene', and throws decades of hip swinging musical influences into the mix to create something fresh and engaging.
