Heavy on the One – The New Sound of Funk

A one-hour mix highlighting the best of today’s modern funk scene — the artists keeping the groove alive. From the brass-heavy power of Ikebe Shakedown and Jungle Fire to the soulful touch of Lee Fields, this mix runs through deep rhythms, sharp horns, and tight pocket playing. It’s the kind of set built for movement — recorded live, mixed clean, and sequenced for flow rather than flash. Think of it as a journey through the new generation of funk players carrying the sound forward.
