About Me



UNITED IN SOUL TO BRING UP FUNK TO YOUR DANCEFLOOR!
Funk, soul and jazz is the music created to dance and lays beneath all modern dance music. Yet it is not very popular among the DJs and you can not very often hear it in a club. Poland is not different from the rest of the world – usually house and techno predominated. Too many pulp DJs following fashions and much too less real music in the clubs. So it was very lucky that four of the most funkiest and musically enhanced polish DJs met to create a very special collective to promote good vibes to clubs of Poland. They were already for almost ten years on the Poland’s club scene doing parties on their own. So it was very natural to unite and under the name of Soul Service promote good groove to the clubs.
From funk to hip-hop from jazz to latin soul from 7”digging to scratching. They cover it all. Adding some visuals and sometimes funky MCs they know how to party. Soul Service is talking loud and saying “get on the good foot” with our funk bomb.
In search for more funky tunes Soul Service turned to dig their secret stash – old polish record crates. For years they were looking through second hand shops, flea markets and granny’s wardrobes to find any polish record influenced by funk. Soul Service wanted to expose power of their homeland beats to the rest of world. This way “Polish Funk” compilation concept was born and was brought to the world with cooperation of the Polish oldest record label still on the market – Polskie Nagrania.
“Polish Funk” series really hit the spot responding to the strong need of such a record among wide audience. It was named the record of the week by “Piccadilly Records” from London, “Dusty Grooves” from Chicago called it “a wonderful introduction to the kinds of grooves we've been digging from Poland for years” and „Jazzman Records” UK calls it “an album espousing the strength and diversity of funky jazz recorded behind the Iron Curtain in '70s Poland”. “Polish Funk” was also acclaimed very warmly by polish artists whose compositions appeared on it. Ewa Bem, a super famous polish jazz singer, calls it, interviewed by “Dziennik” - a major polish newspaper, “A superb record, that gives a chance for a polish music to be introduced to the new dance generation” and Halina Fr--ckowiak a very popular polish pop singer calls “Polish Funk” “A record compiled by well known polish DJs with excellent selection of most valuable polish funk/soul tracks. Recommended for all not only funk lovers”
“Polish funk vol. 1” was issued on July 2007 and will be followed on September by 7” single with two additional tracks. And on October 2007 “Polish Funk vol. 2” will be issued. Also a promotional mix tape that contains tracks from vol. 1 and 2 is already distributed.
