Richard Earnshaw ft. Jocelyn Brown - Worthy (Groovefinder Records) Is there a better vibe than a slab of soulful house, with vocals supplied by the legendary Jocelyn Brown and production from one of house music’s top producers, Richard Earnshaw?

Paul Cooper - Cala Vadella (Superficial Recordings) Probably late on this one, looking at when it was sent to us. But that shouldn't stop it being a Tune of the Day, a good tune’s a good tune, no matter when it came out. Right? Well we’re going with it anyway and you’ll see why.

Seb Skalski - World Of Funk EP (Purple Music) Something slightly different for a Monday Tune of the Day, this is the ‘World Of Funk’ EP by Seb Skalski, out now on Switzerland’s very cool Purple Music. First track ‘Ghetto Funk’ is a funky, slightly jazzy house track with repetitive vocal samples throughout the mix. A decent warm up track for those on a funky vibe.
