FUNKY PARTY TIME
April 06, 2008 06:10 AM PDT
Music today would be totally different without soul, rhythm & energy of the 60’s and 70’s pioneers of FUNK. We all know and worship the late great James Brown who promoted this sound into stratosphere, but often forget that behind him there was (and still remains) an entire army of the delegates of funk.
Assorted and mixed by DJ Chile @ Studio 4, April 2008. |
