The Future of Funk, Soul, and Rock n' Roll

Funk

The fog machines are billowing, 
swallowing the light in refractive auras. 
The wave of energy continuously passes from one medium to another
building momentum...


It is only a matter of time before this wave crashes against the invisible wall that divides the mainstream from what lays hidden in the fog.

Get your surfboards ready.  
The wave is coming…



Soul

These three genres mingle effortlessly, like puppies on a Sunday at the dog park. It can be very difficult to distinguish them from one another. I have no doubt some of these songs belong in a different category- just like one of those dogs going home with the wrong owner. And, you won’t find out until it shits on your rug, or in this case until you start grooving.


Rock N' Roll

  

 

Rules of the groove:



Soul is the slow head bob + sluggish, silent snapping of the fingers.



Funk takes hold of the legs and works it’s way up- a jive that flows unique to each song.




And Rock n'  Roll is a spectacular mix of the two








Of course, everyone knows rules are meant to be broken, so just grove and never let embarrassment touch you.



For the one who is too cool to groove never learned the golden rule of preschool: 
Do what feels right  

You didn’t wait for any toilet, or for that kid to stop playing with those Legos… You smashed his ugly spaceship and built that skyscraper. Now take the dance floor and dismantle the spell that binds the stagnate bodies to the floor.
