Gilles Peterson: The 20 – Folk Funk
29.04.21Stuck in Brownswood Basement with over 50,000 records in his collection, Gilles Peterson uses his time in lockdown to explore deep into the crates and round up ‘The 20’ favourite songs across the WWFM’s most celebrated genres.
This week’s focus is folk funk. Gilles defines folk funk as the music that came to the clubs in the late 80’s as a continuation of rare groove. A new door was opened that would lead some of you to drop more cosmic stuff radio and turn tunes like ‘golden ring’ by American Gypsy’ into the new ‘cross the tracks!’ And when the trip hop generation came along and found new breaks and samples and discovered people like Sunforest or Doris ‘you never come closer!’ As always there was also a strong jazz feel in a lot of them – plenty of waltzes!
