Author: Deejay Maarten Vlot QC April 6, 2026 Duration: 2:01:48
Hello Groovers, This week's Liquid Sunshine celebrates the foundations—those undeniable funk classics that everyone knows, loves, and that opened the door for generations of artists to come. From Isaac Hayes' "Theme From Shaft" and Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up" to James Brown's relentless groove commands and Stevie Wonder's "Superstition," these are the tracks that defined what funk could be and set the standard for everything that followed. It's two hours of essential listening—the kind of music that doesn't need an introduction because it's already written into the DNA of anyone who's ever felt the groove.
