The cuts on Florida Funk are more than just a buttload of bangin’ party music. They’re cultural snapshots, perfectly sleazy time capsules from the days of Superfly and polyester. Take “Na Na” by the impossibly named septet Coke, a conga-driven ode to the band’s namesake. Or the slimy, “Shaft”-style wah-wah that kicks off “Butterfly Theme,” an early instrumental by porno-funk king Blowfly; or even just the name of the label and catalog number of the Delrays’ “Pure Funk” single: Phart Records 0069. Ya just can’t make this stuff up.

If Quentin Tarantino is in need of some tuneage for his next flick, he’ll find a ton of it right here.
