Inner Groove Vol 1

Here is the first playlist of FUNKretrospect. This collection brings together the tracks that lay the foundation for everything on this site—stretching from James Brown’s hyper-disciplined rhythm and Tower of Power’s horn precision to Afro-Latin jazz, Italian library gems, and hypnotic late-70s disco pockets. It captures the full spectrum of heavy grooves, raw soul, and unexpected syncopation in one continuous spin. Enjoy!
