News - The Strange Games series -labeled by Gilles Peterson as the best rare groove compilation series of all time- will soon see its 5th instalment. This time it's DJ Spinna who's serving up a batch of funky world cuts.
The Strange Games & Funky Things series was launched back in the summer of 1997, and since then went on to connect the dots between 70s soul, 80s rare groove and 90s mass market hip hop. The different albums contain a immense variety of styles, ranging from the classic dance-floor bangers to more underground material.
This 5th edition is mixed by longterm BBE stalwart DJ Spinna, featuring a much more worldly selection than earlier editions. Looking at the track list we see tracks by the multi platinum selling War to Sylvia (Sugarhill Records) sit side by side with world music underground icons like C.K. Mann and Francisco Aguabella. BBE will release Strange Games & Funky Things 5 September 28th, but you can already stream the first mixed disc below!
