The Ruffcats feat. Doug Shorts – I Ain’t Worried (7" Vinyl)

The Ruffcats feat. Doug Shorts – I Ain’t Worried (7" Vinyl) brings together Berlin groove collective The Ruffcats and acclaimed Chicago soul singer Doug Shorts for a timeless slice of modern soul and analogue funk, released on Sonar Kollektiv.

Built around warm instrumentation, deep-pocket rhythms and Doug Shorts’ effortlessly soulful vocal delivery, “I Ain’t Worried” blends vintage late-60s and early-70s soul influences with contemporary groove-driven production. Written as a message of resilience, calm and emotional strength, the track balances laid-back confidence with rich musical detail, creating an instantly classic sound that feels equally suited to soul clubs, DJ sets and late-night listening sessions.

On the B-side, celebrated German producer and musician Erobique transforms the track into a playful, groove-heavy remix packed with infectious funk rhythms and dancefloor energy, while still preserving the heart and soul of the original recording. The result is a beautifully balanced 7-inch release that bridges deep soul tradition with modern club culture.

Originally connected to the charitable Soul Rabbi – Shine On project, I Ain’t Worried has since grown into a standout release in its own right, celebrating collaboration, community and the enduring power of soul music. Pressed on classic 7-inch vinyl, this limited edition release is essential for collectors of contemporary soul, funk, disco and rare groove-inspired records.
