This is 3rd of 4 party mixes I'm putting "up in the cloud" this summer that feature this "new" sound I've been collecting for the last couple of years.
With the exception of a 1995 recording by Tower Of Power and one from Bootsy Collins back in 1988 these are all 21st Century Funk.
Funk is back, folks! It faded for awhile. But a whole new generation of MUSICIANS (not DJs sampling other people's work) has embraced Old School Soul, R&B, and Funk and are taking it to a whole 'nuther place.
Thumpin' bass, heavy on the horns, greasy growl of a Hammond B3. A sound and a beat that makes for great dance music.
I'm loving this stuff. Here are links to the first two cloudcasts in this most recent dance series: www.mixcloud.com/ChuckyT/sounds-like-a-party-to-me/ and www.mixcloud.com/ChuckyT/b-o-o-g-a-l-o-o/
