An essential super heavyweight collection of 18 FUNK tracks taken from the very cream of the Tru Thoughts catalogue and compiled by A&R head Robert Luis.

This compilation is keeping DJs and dancers on their toes and in their element with a steady flow of tracks from Spanky Wilson and The Quantic Soul Orchestra, The Bamboos, Hot 8 Brass Band and Alice Russell!

To add to the classic cuts, Luis has found room for some fine exclusive material as well, including a first CD release for Nostalgia 77's "Thing"; and two brand new tracks, hot off the press and signed exclusively for this project from Beta Hector, the solo side project of Simon Hill from adored UK funk band Baby Charles. "Payback" and "Creepin", featuring Baby Charles colleague Dionne Charles on guest vox, see multiinstrumentalist Hill putting his own live recordings through an experimental electronic mill, to create an unusual, rough edged, synth-infused brand of raw funk.

`Tru Thoughts Funk' comes out on the Unfold imprint, following the hugely successful `Tru Thoughts Hip Hop' and `Tru Thoughts Covers' CDs into the label's ongoing series of genre-based and themed compilation releases.
