What is funk?

2011.05.27

Funk is made out of LOVE and has something cocky into it that makes you wanna… dance on the groove. It was put up front with the famous performer: James Brown in the seventies. Another major figure of funk is George Clinton - known for two major funk bands The Parliament and Funkadelic.

In this vintage video, there’s a great performance by Bootsy Collins (one of the main characters of Funkadelic). He plays in his band called Bootsy’s Rubber Band. At 02:35, you can’t hear the sound well due to the lack of the recorder capting sub-low frequencies - he is using an Octave Divider by Mu-Tron. A greateffect to have on the bass.
