The New Mastersounds is a British funk band that was founded in Leeds, England, in the late 1990s. The band's name came about because Simon Allen and Eddie Roberts had previously played together as *The Mastersounds* in 1997. With their unique blend of funk, soul, and jazz influences, The New Mastersounds have become renowned for their infectious grooves and energetic live performances.

Similar to other notable funk bands such as *Speedometer*, *"Cookin' On 3 Burners"*, and *Breakestra*, The New Mastersounds have carved out their own distinct sound within the genre. Drawing inspiration from classic funk acts like *The Poets Of Rhythm* and contemporary groups like *Orgone*, they have managed to create a modern yet timeless sound that appeals to both longtime fans of funk music and new listeners alike.

With an impressive discography spanning several albums, including collaborations with artists such as *Lettuce* and *Galactic*, The New Mastersounds continue to push the boundaries of funk music. Their dedication to creating authentic grooves combined with their tight musicianship has earned them a loyal fan base around the world. Whether you're a seasoned funk enthusiast or just discovering the genre, The New Mastersounds are sure to get you moving with their infectious rhythms.

The New Mastersounds have been performing live and making funky organic-sounding records for 25 years. Starting out in Leeds, UK, having initially appealed mainly to old-school DJs and vinyl collectors, they managed to build fanbases across the USA, Japan & Europe.  

The album comprises ten original instrumental tunes composed and performed at the keyboard player's studio in the heart of the English Peak District during a rainy week in July 2023. The tracks showcase the earthy essence of the band via its signature vocabulary of uncomplicated funk, soul-jazz, classic R&B and reggae-infused grooves. 

In the UK selected tracks from the album will be featured on The Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show on BBC 6Music. An extensive US tour is planned for Spring 2024 in support of this release.
