Dayton, Ohio became one of America’s great funk capitals. Funky Friday Episode 83: The Land of Funk explores the city and its extraordinary musical legacy through the Ohio Players, Slave, Lakeside, Zapp, Faze-O, Sun, Aurra, Steve Arrington, and more.

Funky Friday Episode 81: This Day in Funk turns the calendar back to August 21 for a journey through funk history featuring Wild Cherry, Ohio Players, James Brown, Bootsy Collins, Parliament, Sister Sledge, Santana, and more.

Funky Friday Episode 65 will open in distress and stay inside the signal. What begins as impact and instability will push through tension, hold the groove under pressure, and find its way back to control without losing momentum. This set leans into the moment where everything starts to slip and the only option is to keep the transmission alive.
