Part one in the '12 edits of Christmas' series. Between now and January 6th I'll be uploading 12 fave edits that join the dot's between dub, funk, disco & house.
I came across what is probably my favourite version of Soul Makossa a few years back on a great compilation called 'Out On A Funky Trip' which catalogued a number of great funk and soul tracks that came out of the legendary Randy's Studio in Jamaica at a time when Kingston's reggae scene was being heavily influenced by the funk revolution coming out of the US. Killer version, killer compilation; definitely hunt down a copy, you won't be disappointed.
