This week's Funky Friday celebrates the legacy of Redwood City's legendary Record Man with a hand-picked collection of unforgettable funk, soul, jazz, and rock discoveries.

Juneteenth commemorates freedom delayed, but not denied. This week on Funky Friday, we explore freedom through the music that has carried generations forward. From The Isley Brothers, Curtis Mayfield, and Sly & The Family Stone to Parliament, Earth, Wind & Fire, The O'Jays, The Gap Band, and Stevie Wonder, Episode 72 follows the many ways artists have expressed freedom through groove, community, perseverance, self-expression, and joy. Turn it up. Move on up.

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.

Funky Friday Episode 64 moves beneath the surface of funk. Past the hooks and into the engine room, where rhythm is built through timing, space, and control.

unky Friday Episode 62 will honor Tuxedo Jones, a black and white, curly-haired Lhasa Apso whose presence defined every room he entered. This set will move through groove, soul, and memory, closing with a signature that reminds us some energy never fades.

Funky Friday Episode 59 explores how groove travels across genres and geography. From deep funk foundations to Irish soul and rhythm, the pocket remains the constant. St. Paddy’s Funk follows the groove from its roots to a final moment of celebration.
