Electro-Funk Roots
All who love disco, electro, early hiphop or house be sure to check this site. It’s a great source of info on the brief period in the early eighties when all those genres came together. Or better said, when all those genres were one. Disco and funk became electro-funk in 1982-83 and electro-funk became electro, hiphop or house after that.
The site has loads of information on the music, the club scene, the influences it had on beatmakers and dj’s. Lists, articles, mixes and interviews put together by Greg Wilson. The man is one of this music’s pioneers in England. Great dj, remixer and clearly with a big passion for the music. Gotta love this site for that. The bit where he and Norman Cook are discussing how they discovered how scratching was done is hilarious.
