I try to make sure I always preface these lists by saying these are merely my favorite records of 2014. By no means do I claim that these are the best albums of the year because A) it's a matter of taste and more importantly B) I have not heard every record that came out in 2014 and there is a really great chance that something I've yet to discover would've ended up on this list.

My main focus in devouring music this year has been on 80s funk and boogie. If you're not familiar, boogie is what happened when disco went out of fashion yet the same producers continued making funky dance floor jams. Mainly, they slowed down the tempo and replaced orchestral strings with funky synths and electronic drum kits! Over the recent years there has been a resurgence of modern boogie and 2014 is thankfully no different. Here are some modern funk albums that have caught my ear as well as other random new releases.
