FUNK DIVISION are a hard-gigging soul band from Birmingham (West Midlands UK that is). When we last heard ’em – back in 2016 – they were a trio promoting a great tune, ‘Tell Me Something’.
Now the band (who were called Sound Garden till 2014) has slimmed down to a duo – Mark Anthony Dufus and Derek King – and the pair are busy with their latest single – ‘If You Were Mine’. The track comes in three mixes – “Disco”, “House” and “Soul” and each mix sounds exactly as described. Odd though, given the band’s name, we don’t have a “funk” mix! It won’t surprise you to learn that the “Soul” mix is the one that hits home here at SJF. It’s a steady, tight modern soul groove with convincing vocals; it’s very insistent too … bit of an earworm!
