i learned about this early 80's funk through my older brother who passed away 10years ago,i still remember these tracks from when i was 10to12years young i'll give some examples below.

but it was the kind of funk that began using a lot of synth basslines i know some will hate it some will love it,i really love this early 80's sound especially the basslines they were using only jamiroquai does this sometimes.

does this style have a name mabe??

here are some clips

the first is -byegones-tom browne

Byegones.mp3

80's synth funkpunk?

Anyone else think Nico is here to wind us all up!?

C'mon....

Tony Joe White, Rick Astley, Elvis....

Respect to you and your music taste Nico but someone needs to play you some quality soul.

Best wishes

I can remember late 70's early 80's there used to be a northern room and a funk room at a few places, this sort of thing would have been played in the funk room obviously.

Bit like nowdays we have a northern room and a modern room

i'm not trashing you, mate, just not sure this is the sort of thing people on here really want to hear. i like loads of other music but don't post it on here because this is a soul forum (not, for instance, an early 80s funk forum).

seriously, i'd look elsewhere (though feel free to post anything soulful and to enjoy the other sounds posted by others of course).

you tell me the difference between soul and funk??

to me there isn't that much

Jimmy Trouble is the man for the funk forum, is he not?

theres already a thread "what other music floats your boat" in this forum

looks to me like a good place to talk about your funk tastes in there

yes i already posted a lot of musical styles there but i still havent heard someone tell me what's the difference between soul and funk?

when is a track a soul track and when is it a funk track?

don't tell me you look at the year of the recording to defing what it is.

i think the two styles are mixed up.

correct me if i'm wrong

that's not 'funk'. This is funk.

Might be worth a listen to the new Keb Darge show on the Radio 1 web site.

Nico,

Please try to understand the site and its members. If you believe your tunes have some significance to the recent discussions and/or you believe a good percentage of the members would be interested please feel free to add tunes accordingly.

Up to now the type of stuff you are pushing our way doesnt fit either category.

I also feel like you couldnt care less for any discussion/soundfiles/events already posted on the site. You seem to just want to talk about your own collection of music.

I also asked you to keep your soundfiles within one thread which you have ignored.

Please feel welcome to join in but try to keep within the general mood of the site.

thanks

Shane

i'll give you some real funk too if you want just loading the track

Undisputed #1 Funkmeister? He's told he is And if anyone thinks otherwise, he says you can pop round and have a fight with him!

I grew up with this kinda stuff Nico - alot holds great memories for me - stuff like D-Train, Atlantic Starr etc. You might be on the wrong site though, to find like minded souls !!

You should try the Soulboys site www.soulboys.co.uk and the Caister site https://www.weekenders.co.uk/caister/ - I wouldn't mention that your a fan of Rick Astley there either tho' - he's not well respected on any of the UK soul forums

Cheers Gareth

well i've noticed that!

thanks for the tips,i'll keep listening here to the clips you guys post though.

soul is in the voice, funk is all about rhythm, sometimes the two cross over but usually that's the distinction, I'd say - that's a personal view.

don't take this personally nico - nothing wrong with loving your music, like i say many of us like different stuff as well as soul but this is a soul forum so we only post soul on it, that's all.

i'll try to keep that in mind but this is soul i think?(correct me if i'm wrong)

i'd say it was, yep

vocals a bit flat, guitar a bit fuzzed-up, but otherwise not bad IMO

Isn't there a funk forum somewhere https://www.surefunk.com/sureforum/index.php
