Funky Revolutions Favoriting : Playlist from January 24, 2026

Funky Revolutions

Favoriting

Funky Revolutions is based on the One. Since 1994, host Khalid and guests have invited you to groove & celebrate the history of Africana music - the African diaspora and its musical reflections around the world.

We explore the past, present and future of the funk. From introducing trip-hop to Montréal in the early 90’s, to supporting hip-hop’s underground, to presenting ethno-musicographies of jazz, soul, reggae and afro-funk, Funky Revolutions embraces all grooves & the revolutionary spirit of the Funk, from the Black Arts Movement of the 70s to Indigenous defiances & liberations in the (post) colonial world.


Every Saturday 2 - 4pm (EST)

Favoriting January 24, 2026: Hot Frosty Disco Funk IV

The Mothership bravely doggs back down the rabbit hole of Disco Funk, H-NRG & Electro from the early 80s and its Montreal connections.

Turned on CKUT while switching from my '90s Eurodance CD listening to Tidal... and was pleasantly surprised to hear an extended electro version of "Don't Leave Me This Way..." Kudos!
  3:22pm The Bee:

And Jeanie Tracy too! Wow, didn't recognize her voice!
  3:25pm The Bee:

Looking through the setlist, I notice I missed Laid Back (I only know the original '83 version and its sampling/re-recording for Monifah's "Touch It." Gonna have to listen to your replay... in the meanwhile, enjoying Lime. Again, kudos Khalid!
