ユーゴスラビアの貴重な音源を掘り起こした人気コンピレーション・シリーズ第二弾。同地最大レーベルJugotonの秘蔵テープから、1968年から1982年までのレア・グルーヴを厳選。

初期ソウルから80年代のジプシー・ディスコ、フォークまで、東欧ならではの狂気を帯びたビートが勢揃い。Spektarの未発表音源やZlatokosaのブレイクビート・クラシック、Josipa Lisacのジャジーなナンバーなど、サンプリングにもダンスフロアにも最適な選曲が特徴だ。

• The second installment of the cult rare groove compilation Jugoton Funk
• An insider’s glimpse into the vaults of the biggest Yugoslavian record label
• Rare cuts, breaks and grooves – sample- and dancefloor-ready
• Eastern Bloc madness – from early soul to ’80s gypsy disco folk
• Remastered from the original Jugoton master tapes

Jugoton Funk is back with a second instalment gone funkier and crazier than before – now capturing even the early 80s disco and folk decadence occurring after Tito’s death. Jugoton, the Yugoslavian discography leader by all standards, still incites our inspiration and keeps our fingers dusty for more beats, soul and jazz presented here in equal proportion. From unreleased Jugoton associated numbers by Spektar and breakbeat bombshell classics like Zlatokosa to early Yugoslavian Soul Finger renditions and groovy jazz infusions from Josipa Lisac – this compilation rounds it all up.
