EDDIE PILLER & DEAN RUDLAND PRESENT… ACID JAZZ (NOT JAZZ): WE'VE GOT A FUNKY BEAT (VARIOUS ARTISTS) VINYL (LP)

Release Date: 16th February 2024

"Following the hugely popular first ‘Acid Jazz (Not Jazz)’ release in 2022, label heads Eddie Piller and Dean Rudland return with a second volume, ‘We’ve Got A Funky Beat’. The record further takes in the club sounds of the original acid jazz scene in the early 1990s, where obscure funk, soul and rock records were mixed with new productions that turned up at the Acid Jazz (then Denmark Street) offices on a near-daily basis. A document of an era, before the internet, where clubs and record stores informed the tastes and direction of the burgeoning London music community and the close-knit groups of producers, musicians, label and shop owners that were constant companions in search of the new sound."
