The Budos Band, The Budos Band EP
2009 | Label: Daptone Records / The Orchard

This previously unreleased EP from afro-soulers the Budos Band was cut between their first and second albums for the much-loved Brooklyn funk revival label Daptone. Firmly in step with the label's dusty groove-d sound, Budos Band EP mixes bright, warm horn playing with slinky African rhythms to delightful effect. Check badass chugger “The Proposition” for a nice taste of the Band's chops.

Bonus Track

Get the bonus track. It's a fun little mini-song. If you're really hesitant, you can basically hear the whole thing in the 30-second preview on iTunes.

More great Budos

Curious about the bonus track also, but downloads are too precious now. The four new tracks are SUPERB, though. Hidden Hand is killer.

Juketea is right, but both tracks off of Budos II...which is the second album release. I say get it. It will make anyone with a heartbeat feel like a bad-ass. The sizzling brass section delivers the high octane soul, baby. I'd just like to see them play more festivals, and maybe a west-coast tour? We'll see.

Any Budos is good Budos

But note, if you have their second self-titled album, you have The Proposition and Mas O Menos. Anyone go for the bonus track? What's on it?

This mix is not for the faint of heart, so all you groovy geezers take it easy with this one, and let the Daptone crew guide you through a soulful journey of some of our favorite party starters, and late night movers. Get ready, cause we're gonna swing folks. There's a Happening going down in Bushwick, and we here at Daptone Records would like to share it with you. You don't have to be hip, but… more »
