This mix digs deep into the nasty, bad funk of late-60s and 70s funk and soul, where rhythm came first, and polish came last. From the tight New Orleans groove of The Meters – Good Old Funky Music to the explosive call-and-response of James Brown – Mother Popcorn, every track is built around drums, bass, and attitude.
