Description:
“Purification” by Funkshone, released in 2007 on Mukatsuku Records, epitomizes the modern deep-funk revival. Recorded entirely with vintage equipment, it channels the spirit of The Meters and James Brown while adding contemporary punch.
Driven by a heavy drum break, tight horns, and Ben Ajayi’s fiery drumming, “Purification” became a breakout hit within the new-school funk scene and was championed by DJs like Keb Darge and Snowboy.
Its crisp live production and authentic groove made it a go-to cut for breakbeat aficionados and proof that 21st-century funk can groove as hard as its 1970s ancestors.
