I’ll admit I am a late comer to the Psychedelic Funk genre and i meander into stuff that is little more drum and bass but currently I’ve been mindlessly picking up things that look interesting. Here’s a few tracks from various compilations that mix funkadelic beats and guitars. What makes the use of wahs, funky beats and bass on this material cool is that at times it seems almost interpretive what you might hear on old 80’s cop-show like CHIPS maybe or black-exploitation movie. Imagine what James Brown would like sound like if somebody just explained the music to you. These are mostly just some good eclectic tracks you’d never hear unless you found said compilations. Of course unless you’re a record collector or this post finds you. This is only the tip of proverbial iceberg whatever if it moves your feet it’s doing it’s business.
