CiTR -- Funk My Life: Recent Episodes
CiTR & Discorder Magazine
Funk My Life grooves out tunes with a bit of soul and a lot of funk, from the birth of rhythm and blues to the golden age of motown, to contemporary dance remixes of classic soul hits. We explore Brasilian funk, Japanese breakbeat anthems, the British motown remix scene, Canadian soul and disco that your parents probably made out to, and the classic originals of American soul music over the past 60 years. Soul in the City's Oker hosts with various guests to bring that extra bounce to your step every Thursday at 11pm.
We puff up our chest for a remix of Mr Big Stuff, find out why electro-swing is fantastic, and a drum and break look at James Brown!
Without doubt the best track to come out of Pincher Creek, Alberta (west of Lethridge), we help ourselves to A Taste of Honey, and what tune is Duck Sauce's Barbara Streisand a shameless copy of? And what tune did that one also copy?
A look into Bette Davis' Eyes, Stevie Wonder vs wobbly bass, and it's almost 2011 and I'm so excited that I just can't hide it - I'm about to lose my mind and I think I like it.
Baaaybeh, we love pubescent Stevie Wonder. Tons of reggae remixes and a special tie between Lily Allen's main single and the music of 1960s Jamaica.
Great instrumental funk, our first heavy electro song, and the original 1968 version of Ready or Not that the Fugees covered.
