Youngblood Brass Band: "Ain't Nobody"

I don't get many chances to throw up brand new jazz funk on WKMR too often, so when this gem came across my desk I really had no choice, did I? Apparently I'm pretty out of the loop, though, since I'm just now hearing of this band and, according to their Soundcloud bio, this is the second single released off of their fourth album. Whoops.

Jazzanova: "Believer (Funkhaus Sessions)"

Them Krauts know how to get down. Well, sometimes. They have a way of twisting other country's art forms into something cold and inhuman, but Jazzanova aren't your typical gabber, Krautrock, etc etc. I think Guru and Brand New Heavies were both attempting their own variations on this template, but Jazzanova tend to eschew the hip hop and house influences, instead doubling down on the soul and disco, live instrumentation similarly escalating the authentic jazz funk flourishes. They've made me a believer.
