You Can’t Rush The Funk – Mocky
13 January 2020
This weeks hot track has but one lyric. But who could argue a statement that is so accurate? Mocky is a brilliant musician who has written and or produced a substantial amount of unique music…
Gentle Swag – Kosie
7 January 2020
Sometimes a song title truly describes the track. Sometimes a track is so fresh, it needn’t have the vocals. LA based multi-instrumentalist, producer, and music-crafter Kosie has found a striking balance of sounds…
When It Comes Down To It – Minnie Riperton
17 December 2019
This Groove You throwback is necessary for so many reasons. Minnie Riperton is perhaps best known for her five-octave vocal range and doing that Mariah Carey thing before Mariah Carey did it…
Shooting Star – Richard In Your Mind
10 December 2019
If you’re a raw chiller, you can dig on this track. Richard In Your Mind may be considered more of a “Psych Rock” band but alas there are no rules for this playlist…
The Stroll – TriOrca
3 December 2019
This track is such a lush, glowing groover. The sounds and songs that LA’s TriOrca have created on their debut album Missing are magnetic…
Ava’s Song – Jimmy Olson
26 November 2019
Jimmy Olson is a force. This track exhibits his funky individuality as an artist, songwriter, and keyboard warlock. “Ava’s” unique piano melody pulls at the heartstrings while simultaneously…
Get With The Program – Doug Shorts
19 November 2019
I’m not too sure if the cat is out of the bag yet on Doug Shorts, but it’s bound to be. At least for real-deal boogie enthusiasts it will be. This track is undeniably hot…
How Have I Lived – Neal Francis
12 November 2019
This new album from Neal Francis is pure soul. “How Have I Lived” is a fave track from the record and why wouldn’t it be? Vocally he’s playing it cool, meanwhile the band is boiling hot and tone-time traveling with 70’s era swagger in modern time…
It’s Hard To Stop (Doing Something When It’s Good To You) – Betty Wright
5 November 2019
Throwing back to 1973 because that’s how I play it sometimes. This Betty Wright track is classic funk at it’s finest…
Truth – Isaiah Sharkey
29 October 2019
Attention all groove connoisseurs, this ones for you. If your thinking, how did an artist achieve such a proper D’angelo vibe?…
Flirt – Cameo
25 October 2019
Throwback alert. This is what proper funk from the 80’s sounds like. Do not judge these groovers by where they may be at today…just get on board with how heavy this recording is and celebrate that it exists. If this track doesn’t rock your dance party you may want to invite new guests…
Liquid Deep – Dreamcast
25 October 2019
Hot track alert. This song will pick you up and simultaneously relate to how you’re feeling. A tricky balance to achieve I know, but Dreamcast does it for you here. It’s like being able to dance but you don’t have to attend the party. Nonchalant, deep, groovy goodness. Smile and let it rain down upon you…
