Lots of new music on the show this week - Roisin Murphy, Lauer, Hammer, Raf Rundell, Fred Again & The Blessed Madonna ...
In the last part of the show I dipped a toe into the weird and wonderful funk-tastic P-Funk universe.
Parliament-Funkadelic (or P-Funk) is a funk music collective which has been going since the 60s - fronted by George Clinton, primarily consisting of the bands Parliament and Funkadelic.
Their live shows are an expression of pure joy and freedom – they dress however the hell they like and sometimes they're having so much fun jamming that the tunes can go on for 25 minutes or more.
Their distinctive funk style draws on psychedelic culture, outrageous fashion, science-fiction & surrealism – they’ve hugely influenced funk, post-punk, 90s hip-hop & G Funk and post-disco and even helped pioneer the Afrofuturism movement.
As you can imagine after half a century their back catalog is extensive. For this little dip (of the hip) into the Mothership, I picked out some of my favourite tracks and talked a bit about George Clinton & his influence.
