Safe As Houses - 30/10/26
RightSideOfFunk Recordings has entered a new phase defined by clarity of vision, consistent output, and a fully integrated digital ecosystem. The label now operates with a streamlined structure that supports both creative development and professional presentation, allowing each release to form part of a wider, cohesive narrative. In the present day, the label’s focus centres on expanding its catalogue through carefully curated projects that highlight its core strengths: cinematic funk, melodic storytelling, and multi‑instrumental production. Recent work has demonstrated a renewed commitment to high‑quality arrangement, live performance elements, and a polished sonic identity that distinguishes the label within the UK independent landscape. The introduction of dedicated collaborators — including H3NR3 & TheRightSide Horns — continues to enhance the depth and character of each release. Alongside musical output, RightSideOfFunk Recordings has invested significantly in its digital infrastructure. The redesigned website now serves as the central hub for all activity, offering a unified space for catalogue access, visual media, and long‑form content. Regular Mailshot updates are available providing ongoing communication with listeners, functioning as a broadcast channel for news, release timelines, behind‑the‑scenes insights, and label developments. This platform ensures that the label’s audience remains connected to each stage of the creative process. Looking ahead, RightSideOfFunk Recordings is preparing for a period of sustained growth. Upcoming releases will continue to build on the label’s established sound while exploring new stylistic directions and expanded collaborative opportunities. The integration of visual storytelling, enhanced promotional strategies, and a more structured release calendar will support this evolution. The label also intends to broaden its multimedia presence, developing additional promotional content, curated playlists, and narrative‑driven projects that reinforce its identity. Future plans include the continued development of the RightSideOfFunk universe — a long‑term creative initiative designed to connect music, visuals, and storytelling into a cohesive brand experience. This approach will allow the label to evolve beyond traditional release cycles, offering listeners a richer and more immersive connection to its work. RightSideOfFunk Recordings moves forward with a clear direction: to expand its catalogue, strengthen its brand identity, and deliver high‑quality, narrative‑driven music that reflects both its heritage and its ambition. The foundation established in its early years now supports a forward‑looking vision built on independence, creativity, and a commitment to continual growth.
RightSideOfFunk Recordings was established as an independent UK label dedicated to producing and releasing high‑quality cinematic music. Founded by Matt Grant, the label emerged from a long‑standing creative identity built under the broader banner TheRightSideOfFunky— a project that had already developed a loyal following through its fanatic admiration of distinctive groove‑focused production. RightSideOfFunk Recordings was created to provide a dedicated home for Grant’s expanding catalogue and to support a more structured, professional release strategy. From the outset, the label positioned itself around a clear artistic vision: showcase versatility then focus on modern funk and soul infused with cinematic arrangement, live instrumentation, and a strong narrative thread running through each project. TheBeatCollector, Grant’s primary production alias, became the flagship artist of the label. Through this moniker, RightSideOfFunk Recordings released a series of projects that helped define its sonic identity — including full‑length albums and EPs that covered a wide range of influences from indie, pop & contemporary R&B (all now tucked away under lock and key). The move to classic funk and soul soundtracks had more vision. Initial vocal driven compositions were taken over with the introduction of TheRightSide Horns which expanded the label’s collaborative ecosystem, bringing additional depth and character to its recordings. Across its early years, the label focused on consistency, craftsmanship, and world‑building. Releases were supported by a growing visual presence, including official promotional content, curated playlists, and archival material from TheRightSideOfFunky era. This multimedia approach helped establish the label as a boutique but highly active creative hub, with a recognisable aesthetic and a clear commitment to quality. By the mid‑2020s, RightSideOfFunk Recordings had developed a cohesive catalogue and a distinct brand identity — one rooted in groove, instrumental storytelling, and independent creative control. The label’s output demonstrated both artistic range and technical refinement, laying the foundation for a new era of structured releases, expanded digital presence, and long‑form creative projects. This history forms the first part of the RightSideOfFunk Recordings story — a foundation built on independence, craft, and a commitment to a unique musical identity.
