New groove architecture just landed in the Funk the Planet rotation. 🔥

Now spinning:

✨ Skinny Dipp feat. WARTABAR — “All Night”
✨ The DK Effect — “Somebody”
✨ Leopard DaVinci w/ Helenita (Helena) — “Flaws”
✨ Nigel Hall — “Do It On My Dime”

This round hits from a few different corners of the funk universe — silky modern boogie, big-band soul muscle, French-flavored disco-funk elegance, and that loose, lived-in New Orleans pocket that makes everything feel a little more human.

Some of it struts.
Some of it sparkles.
Some of it sounds like the bassline showed up wearing sunglasses and refused to explain itself.

That’s the Funk the Planet zone: new music with feel, songs with actual fingerprints, and artists keeping the groove alive without turning it into a museum exhibit.

The classics built the spaceship.
The new funk keeps finding stranger planets.
And this batch has plenty of fuel.

Fresh atmosphere just slipped into the Funk the Planet rotation. 🔥

Now spinning:

✨ Debo Ray
✨ Deliverie
✨ Mishell Ivon x Vincent Kwok x Joshua Trinidad
✨ Remy van Kesteren feat. Banji — remixed by Moods

This batch moves in a moodier lane — cinematic soul heat, golden blurred-out groove, liquid late-night texture, and a remix that floats somewhere between future jazz, electronic soul, and a neon-lit head nod.

Some of it burns slow.
Some of it shimmers.
Some of it feels like the groove wandered into an art film and came out with better bass.

That’s the Funk the Planet pocket: not just funk by the numbers, but rhythm with color, soul with atmosphere, and new sounds that still understand the pulse underneath it all.

The classics gave us the foundation.
The new music keeps opening doors.

And this round has some serious glow.

Fresh color just dropped into the Funk the Planet rotation. 🔥
Now spinning:

✨ Crackazat
✨ Natasha Diggs & Megatronic
✨ Nic Hanson Music
✨ Funk Leblanc

This round hits that sweet zone where the groove refuses to sit in one chair — sun-soaked jazz-funk energy, bold electro-boogie attitude, playful modern soul bounce, and glossy dance-floor funk with the chrome turned all the way up.

Some of it glows.
Some of it struts.
Some of it feels like somebody plugged a vintage drum machine into a disco ball and told it to behave badly.

That’s the Funk the Planet lane: deep roots, fresh spark, rhythm with personality, and enough curveballs to keep the whole ride interesting.

Classic funk built the road.
New artists keep changing the scenery.
And right now, the groove is looking pretty fantastic.

Fresh heat just landed in the Funk the Planet rotation. 🔥

Now spinning:

✨ Brooklyn Funk Essentials
✨ KOLA
✨ Soul Dhamma — Dave Lee JN Remix
✨ F I N K E L

This batch moves through the groove with a wide-open passport — deep funk foundations, soulful color, remix-floor sparkle, and left-of-center rhythm that still knows exactly where the pocket lives.

Some of it bubbles.
Some of it stretches out.
Some of it sounds like the dance floor took a detour through a record collector’s dream and came back with better shoes.

That’s the Funk the Planet sweet spot: music with roots, movement, personality, and enough surprise to keep your ears from going on autopilot.

The legends set the table.
The new artists keep adding flavor.
And somewhere in the middle, the groove starts speaking fluent future.

New sounds just hit the Funk the Planet rotation. 🔥

Now spinning:

✨ Westbrook & Moniquea - La maison Venturi
✨ HolyBrune
✨ Stirmouth with Säm Wilder & Soul Food Horns
✨ KDRC - Vokall Records

This round brings the groove from a few different angles — sleek modern boogie, soulful shimmer, horn-powered funk, and tracks that feel built for speakers with a little extra low end.

Some of it glides.
Some of it struts.
Some of it sounds like somebody found the secret hallway between vintage soul and right-now funk.

That’s the Funk the Planet lane: real movement, real feel, and artists keeping the groove alive without getting trapped in any one era.

The classics matter.
The new stuff matters too.
And the fun is hearing them talk to each other.

Fresh grooves just landed in the Funk the Planet rotation. 🔥

Now spinning:
✨ Leopard DaVinci & Moniquea

This batch slides through a serious range of groove — modern boogie, soulful funk, disco-flavored heat, and smooth R&B that knows how to move without trying too hard.

Some of it bumps with that retro-future shine.
Some of it locks into the pocket and stays there.
Some of it feels like late-night radio, neon lights, and basslines doing exactly what basslines are supposed to do.

That’s the Funk the Planet sweet spot: music with feel, movement, and personality — connecting the artists carrying the groove forward with the funk and soul lovers ready to discover what’s next.
