Retro Soul

About the Artist

Karate Boogaloo are a Melbourne quartet playing retro soul and deep funk with a skewed, off-kilter edge, drawing on classic breaks, cinematic themes and library music. They also form the rhythm section of Melbourne soul group The Cactus Channel, and the band took shape in home studios and attic rooms where they spent their early twenties recording. Their records favor warped grooves and rule-bending arrangements over straight revivalism, which suits a live setting where the rhythm section is front and center.
