the full tune is 3'30 and there's a super funky guitar at 2'36 until the end, too bad it was shortened on youtube..
 
De Roubaix's music is much like Nino Nardini & Roger Roger's exotica funk, it bring me back memories I don't even know I have:
 

 
I've got the remastered CD of Jungle Obsession, it's just beyond words: http://www.amazon.com/Jungle-Obsession-Nino-Roger-Nardini/dp/B00005ASJH

Yes Deodato! Love the track "Super Strut."
A bubbling bass line that sounds so good played loud.
CTI and KUDU certainly brought allot of great albums out.

Super Strut is amazing. I will have to invest in that album Deodato 2, thanks for that. I will also have a look other releases by CTI and KUDU any other tips would be appreciated. Hint Hint.

Hey all, I thought I might drop in here to ask for some suggestions.  I am a bboy, breakdancer, whatever you want to call it.  It seems that even through the 2000's, the beats we dance to have still carried a strong funk influence due to our DJs' roots in that genre, and I love it.
 
Anyhow, do you guys know of any funk music that carries a very energetic drum track?  Where the drums just CRACK and make you just want to get up and dance?  I'd really like to hear some of that.  Something about the tempo of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf5CqSDgiLU and no faster than "September" by Earth Wind Fire.  Both are songs that I like but I hardly know much about the world of funk.  I hope no one goes "that isn't funk!" or anything because I really don't know!
 
Instrumentals are preferred... is there anything that comes to your mind?

I've got near complete discographies (all first pressing LPs) of James Brown, the JBs, Parliament/Funkadelic, Bootsy, Sly Stone, The Horny Horns, The Last Poets, The Meters, Stevie Wonder, Ohio Players, Herbie Hancock, Mandrill, the Neville Bros, early Dr John, Gil Scott Heron, etc.  Basic everyday funk, but good stuff. 

My favorite is my limited ed. Parliament Osmium picture disc from Argentina that George Clinton signed for me last week.
 
A few of my staple funk tracks:

Jimmy Castor Bunch - The Bertha Butt Boogie
Skull Snaps - It's a New Day
Dr. John the Night Tripper - Gris Gris Gumbo Ya Ya & Walk on Guilded Splinters
Meters - Fire on the Bayou
Last Poets - When the Revolution Comes
and the DVD of Glen calling down the Mothership live in Houston '76.

But for some rare treats, check out these two...
 
I was digging through early spiritual music searching for preachers who oozed the funk when I found Dave Whitfield’s version of “I’m Gonna Tell God On You (Part 2).”  This track builds and builds, growing funkier by the minute.

And this is the single funkiest version of “Dry Bones” you will hear in your entire life.  This cut is belted out by Rev. Willingham - a wound up, screaming preacher with an infectiously funky groove.

some killer DAPTONE funk from a veteran, hard to believe it was recorded in 2005: http://www.amazon.com/Call-My-Name-Joe-Bataan/dp/B0007UPTJK
 
and for once, the CD isn't grossly clipped as DAPTONE always does
