Motown, Stax, James Brown & The JB's, The Meters, Dyke & The Blazers, Aretha Franklin, Spanky Wilson, Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, Lynn Collins, Poets Of Rhythm, Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators, Lefties Soul Connection, The New Mastersounds etc. etc.
The Amsterdam based band The Soul Prophets are heavily inspired by old soul records: "We're not consciously trying to imitate bands from the past. There's an old school feel to the Soul Prophets, but we're by no means some kind of revivalist movement. When we play we are looking to find what makes us feel good!"
The debut E.P. Greed, recorded and released in april 2009, fuses southern soul with minimalist deep funk in the vein of Stax, The Meters and James Brown. The record sounds bottom-heavy and melodic at the same time.
In a time that values overproduced slickness over human grit, The Soul Prophets are like a breath of fresh air.

The Legendary EDDIE BO (USA/NewOrleans) en concert exceptionnel a MARSEILLE au Cabaret Aléatoire le 20 OCTOBRE !!!
Vous connaissez certainement Eddie Bo pour ses morceaux mixés sur le jouissif mix Brainfreeze de Dj Shadow et Cut Chemist ou plus récemment "Hook' n' sling" retenu sur la compilation Lifestyles de Laurent Garnier. Ce que l’on connait moins de cet homme, c’est son poids dans l'histoire de la musique populaire afro-américaine.
Les protégés de keb Darge seront aussi de la party avec leur son puissant et groovy, THE NEW MASTERSOUNDS ne cessent depuis bientôt dix ans de faire des émules sur la scéne funk du monde entier.
