Velvet City

Funkland Inc.

Get hip to this… Slide into the "Velvet City" and find yourself acquainted with the newest sonic situation from Funkland Inc. Eleven tracks of stone-cold funk, soul and R&B—dressed in that sweet retro flavor, but polished up with some modern studio magic. Better believe this groove ain't stuck in the past. It's got one foot on the boulevard and the other in the future. 🚘💨

* Yeah, you got “Wallflower,” for all the shy cats standing on the sidelines, waiting for the nerve to step into the party. 🌸

* “Funk Train” takes you downtown on an urban rail ride where the only ticket you need is a pocketful of rhythm. 🚇🎷
* You got “Low and Slow,” cruising deep into the world of lowrider culture—where the ride is smooth and nobody's in a hurry. 🔥🚗
* Then there's “Black Light (Blink of an Eye),” a sci-fi superhero showdown that'll have you checking the rearview mirror for trouble from another dimension. 🦸🏾‍♂️⚡
* And “Can't Trust Nobody”? That's for these paranoid times, when every camera's watching, every screen is listening, and Big Brother might be riding shotgun. 👁️📹

Throw in the smooth, sweet sounds of “Brand New World,” “Step Up,” “Four of a Kind,” “Never Knowing,” and “Morning After,” and you got yourself enough funky firepower to set the whole damn night ablaze! 🔥🎷💥

Eleven tracks. One velvet-smooth city. Funkland Inc. is bringing the heat, the soul, the groove—and a whole lotta attitude.

And here's the good news: all tracks are available right now for streaming and downloading on all major music platforms. So you can take that groove home, and let the whole neighborhood know Funkland Inc. has arrived! 🔥🎶

So don't just stand there like a fool in the rain. Get yourself into "Velvet City" and let the funk handle the rest. 😎🔥

Swimming in the Dark

Ann Purcell

"Swimming in the Dark" is a playful soul and R&B duet from Funkland Inc. featuring guest vocalist Annie Purcell, released in 2025 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the classic film "Jaws." Inspired by the movie's unforgettable opening scene, the song imagines a flirtatious late-night conversation between two carefree beachgoers heading into the ocean—while listeners already know the danger lurking beneath the waves.

Driven by a smooth groove, warm harmonies, and a touch of retro 1970s soul, "Swimming in the Dark" balances romance and suspense with a wink and a smile. Funkland Inc.'s Jesse Miles and Annie Purcell trade verses filled with optimism, attraction and seaside adventure, while subtle lyrical hints foreshadow the fate familiar to generations of movie fans. The result is a tongue-in-cheek tribute that lovingly celebrates one of cinema's most iconic scenes without ever taking itself too seriously.

Equal parts beach-party anthem, vintage soul duet, and cinematic parody, "Swimming in the Dark" is a clever homage to a blockbuster that continues to make audiences think twice before taking a midnight swim.

Ghetto Royale Soundtrack

A velvet-smooth groove soaked in streetwise swagger, "Ghetto Royale" is the kind of soundtrack that feels bigger than the imaginary film it scores. This release captures the pulse of a city where danger and style walk hand in hand. The music moves like the film’s antihero—cool under pressure, sharp at the edges, and always two steps ahead.

Ghetto Royale isn’t just a fictional soundtrack—it’s a time capsule of an era, where funk was king, soul told the truth, and every note carried the weight of the street. Even without the film, the music paints the whole picture.

Feeling Better (Original Mix)

The debut and self-titled album from Funkland Inc. is a rich, groove-driven journey through retro-inspired rhythms and modern soul storytelling.

The album's themes touch on love, struggle, isolation and celebration -- all wrapped in street-wise production and undeniable swagger. Highlights include the sultry slow burn of "Slip Away," the horn-laced anthem "The Decline and End," and the infectious, dancefloor-ready track "Shakin' the Border."
