<description><![CDATA[Among the most popular, successful, flamboyant and notorious funk pioneers, Rick James began his career in Toronto, playing in a group called Mynah Birds, which also included Neil Young and Goldy McJohn (Steppenwolf). James played bass with many different bands before landing a solo deal with Motown in the late 1970s. His reign on the charts started shortly thereafter, thanks to supremely funky singles like "Mary Jane" and "Give It To Me Baby." His biggest hit and signature track was the aptly titled "Super Freak," one of the most popular songs of 1981. Blessed with a unique sound that drew from disco, New Wave and R&B, he was at the top of his game as a solo artist and producer in the early '80s, putting together key albums with the Mary Jane Girls, Teena Marie and Eddie Murphy, among others. His own hits continued with singles like "17" and "Cold Blooded," though the rise of hip-hop and his growing drug dependency soon derailed his illustrious career. James was later convicted of felonies stemming from two coke-fueled assaults on women, and spent several years behind bars in the '90s. Upon his release, he cleaned up his act and went back into the studio, releasing his final LP, <I>Urban Rhapsody</I>, in 1997. Though the album spawned no new hits, he made millions off of rap artists sampling his vast catalog; most notably, MC Hammer liberally borrowed from "Super Freak" for his own mega-smash "U Can't Touch This." In 2004, James was back in the spotlight, thanks to a hilarious skit on the Dave Chappelle show, which coined the pervasive catchphrase "I'm Rick James, bitch!" After releasing 14 solo albums in less than 20 years, and producing many more, James firmly established himself as a funk icon on par with legends like James Brown, Sly Stone and George Clinton. He was working on an autobiography and film about his life when he died of natural causes in August 2004. He was 56 years old.

<description><![CDATA[The tale of "Word up!" begins with Cameo, a funk group that, in the mid-'70s, had an obsession with all things George Clinton. Their early records had the requisite sweat-soaked, bare-skinned record covers, while the inner sleeves showed a band with as many members as a small city and with more horns than a gridlocked Manhattan boulevard. As the '80s appeared, the Cameo sound grew to become more streamlined, focusing on slow jams and electro-based Funk. Finally, 1985 saw the release of the definitive Cameo track. An exercise in urban studio magic, "Word Up" became a massive hit and introduced a phrase into our vernacular that is still in use today...although its true meaning has never been fully explained. Word to your mother, indeed.

<description><![CDATA[Although they had a slew of hit songs during their early days as keyboard-hauling patrons of the dancefloor, Atlantic Starr hit pay dirt when they stopped trying to keep folks dancin' and turned their attention to romancin'. Ballads became their most popular output, giving the band major hits with "Always" and "If Your Heart Isn't In It." The music stopped in 1987 when lead singer Sharon Bryant took off for a (modestly successful) solo career. The unfortunate disbanding meant no new releases, although "Secret Lovers" continues to show up in the track list of most every slow jam compilation released to date.

<description><![CDATA[If George Clinton had a nickel for every hip-hop act that sampled "Atomic Dog," he could corner the market in piggy banks. A studio pioneer, Clinton mixed Screaming Jay Hawkins' outrageousness, Jimi Hendrix's psychedelic blues, James Brown's grooves, Sly Stone's Funk-Rock and Sun Ra's wacky genius into one big, throbbing mass of Electro-Funk. His Parliament/Funkadelic groups hit the 1970s with all the force of the oil embargo and Watergate combined. Clinton was a big name in black markets but his success didn't carry over to white audiences busy grooving to Seals and Crofts -- even solo, "Atomic Dog" only hit 101 on the pop charts! Today, his considerable back catalog is scooped up by legions of converts, eager to hear the man who makes Prince seem as funky as Perry Como.

<description><![CDATA[Zapp & Roger may not roll off the tongue before names such as George Clinton, Bootsy Collins and Parliament, but they've proven just as influential as their better-known peers. Zapp and Roger were actually two different entities - the former a band, the latter a solo project - featuring Roger Troutman. Each outfit released albums during the 1980s, and tracks from both have been assembled on various collections attributed to Zapp & Roger in the 1990s. Troutman and company engaged audiences with a funky, synth-driven sound that was both timely and timeless, hitting with classics such as "More Bounce to the Ounce" and "Computer Love." The funkateer's energetic style made heavy use of his signature Talk Box and electro-funk grooves -- many of which were later sampled by the likes of Tupac Shakur, the Beastie Boys, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.

<description><![CDATA[An early Dance Pop powerhouse from the early 1980s, Lisa Lisa & the Cult Jam produced catchy cuts that made an indelible mark on the masses -- especially the teenage set. Responsible for such chart-hitting tracks as "I Wonder if I Take You Home," "All Cried Out," "Head to Toe" and "Can You Feel the Beat," Lisa Lisa & the Cult Jam were a trio that performed radio-ready songs written and produced by Brooklyn's six-person musical team, Full Force. Emphasizing an undeniably danceable, electro-influenced instrumental mix over cute lyrics that are neither memorable nor remarkable, Lisa Lisa & the Cult Jam's sing-along tunes are decidedly easy to imitate.

<description><![CDATA[An electo-funk legend and Freestyle pioneer, Shannon is the diva behind the heavy-hitting club tune, "Let the Music Play" -- a track that forged the Freestyle genre, this classic club favorite on Emergency Records shot to the top of the Billboard charts in 1983. A debut album with the same title went gold the following year. Although the Washington, D.C. native also sang with the New York Jazz Ensemble, she's noted less for her vocal stylings and more for her innovative electro-synth basslines. Despite the lasting significance of "Let the Music Play," Shannon's career was short-lived.

<description><![CDATA[The only thing "blank" about this Philly rapper is the name. No blank slate, Amanda Blank is an in-command presence with sass to spare. Blank came up alongside her hometown homies Spank Rock, dropping rhymes on their 2006 album <I>Yoyoyoyoyo</I>; the same year, she anchored Aaron LaCrate's <I>Blow</I> EP. She was soon appearing on all manner of tracks and mixtapes from the likes of Santigold and Diplo. She released her debut album, <I>I Love You</I>, in 2009. Produced by Diplo, TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek and Spank Rock's XXXChange, the album balances feverishly futuristic dance music -- itself a fusion of crunk, Baltimore club and internationalist beats that probably haven't even been named yet -- with touches of new wave, from flourishes of the B-52s in "Make It Take It" to the gutter electro of "Might Like You Better," which reprises the sultry come-on ("...if we slept together") of '80s pop aberration Romeo Void's "Never Say Never." Whatever her name suggests, coloring outside the lines comes easy to Amanda Blank.

<description><![CDATA[Musical visionary, DJ extraordinaire, and founder of the Zulu Nation, Afrika Bambaataa has done more for the culture and music of hip-hop than most could dream of. He grew up in the South Bronx, and began promoting and spinning at block parties in the 1970s. His first professional effort was producing Soul Sonic Force's debut <I>Zulu Nation Throwdown</I> in 1980; two years later, they released the groundbreaking single "Planet Rock," helping to pioneer the Electro-Funk movement with its freaky beats and incorporation of sounds from German synth band Kraftwerk. Bambaataa's futuristic soundscapes took listeners by surprise, becoming a major influence in the development of not only hip-hop, but Techno and House music as well. Throughout his lengthy career, Bam has recorded with a diverse multitude of talented artists, including James Brown, Bill Laswell, Sly and Robbie, and Professor X. Still extremely active in the hip-hop community, he continues to record, tour and educate, maintaining his status as a living legend and forefather of the art.

<description><![CDATA[A Minneapolis group who got their start as Prince's opening act, the Time first emerged back in 1981 with a self-titled debut album. Their follow-up, <i>What Time Is It?</i> yielded several successful singles, earning them a sizable following and a reputation for funk-filled, sex-driven dance jams. In 1984 they were featured in Prince's film "Purple Rain" and also released their third LP <i>Ice Cream Castle</i> which included the hit "Jungle Love." During the mid-to-late 80's Time members Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis established themselves as R&B production gurus, crafting major hits for artists including Janet Jackson and Boyz II Men. Flamboyant frontman Morris Day released several underwhelming solo albums, and the group reunited in 1990 to record their final album <i>Pandemonium</i>.

<description><![CDATA[His solo projects may not have been quite up to the quality of early gems with the Time, but how can you not love Morris Day, the smooth-talking secondary star of <i>Purple Rain</i>? Sure, his proposed dance craze "Oak Tree" didn't quite catch on, but it did deliver smooth electronic Funk that easily topped Day's tenor voice as he delivered bedroom-styled R&B. And he did have a No. 1 R&B hit with "Fishnet." Day has also spent much of his time developing an acting career -- who can forget Richard Pryor's <i>Moving</i> or the fabulous Andrew Dice Clay vehicle <i>The Adventures of Ford Fairlane</i>? Luckily, in recent years Day has gone back to what he does best: fronting and leading the Time, with his trademark assured delivery and the guarantee of a funky good time.

<description><![CDATA[Although this pioneering electro-funk band influenced many of the rap and hip-hop bands that followed, Newcleus released only two albums as an active group. But what albums they were. Taking a quality over quantity approach, the Brooklyn natives' records contain the oft-sampled classics "Jam On It," "Jam On Revenge (The Wikki-Wikki Song)" and "Computer Age (Push the Button)" -- all club hits in the new millennium.

<description><![CDATA[In the eight years since forming in 1999, these incorrigible genre-hoppers from Melbourne, Australia, have doubled in size and expanded their Empire. The Cat Empire started as a trio when keyboardist Oliver McGill, double bassist Ryan Monro, and percussionist Felix Riebl (who specializes in timbales) started playing their jazz-meets-ska-meets-Latin fusion at gigs in jazz clubs and all-night parties at the tender age of nineteen. Gradually, they added trumpeter Harry James Angus, drummer Will Hull-Brown, and DJ Jamshid "Jumps" Khadiwala to the mix of musicians and hip-hop to the musical recipe. Bigger group plus bigger sound turned out to equal bigger bookings for the band, which started playing sold-out shows in Australia, touring around the world, and recording their first album. Record labels came a-knockin', and after weighing their options, the band signed with Virgin, which released their 2003 self-titled debut. <i>Two Shoes</i> and <i>Cities</i> followed in 2005 and 2006, respectively.

<description><![CDATA[The groundbreaking band Liquid Liquid's experiments in minimalism paved the way for such experimentalists as Tortoise and Trans Am and influenced a slew of artists, including Grandmaster Flash, who heavily sampled the band's 1983 song "Cavern" in the song "White Lines (Don't Do It)." Based in New York, the band are best known for their experiments with minimal funk, concentrating almost exclusively on percussion, bass, vocals and other percussion. The quartet -- Scott Hartley, Richard McGuire, Salvatore Principato and Dennis Young -- released only three EPs from 1981 to 1983 and were nearly forgotten until the Beastie Boys' label Grand Royal re-released all three EPs and a recording of a 1982 live performance in 1997.

<description><![CDATA[One Self really coalesced over the two legs of London beatmaster DJ Vadim's 2003 "Russian Percussion" tour. Singer Yarah Bravo provided support for the first stint and when the show reached Montreal, MC Blu Rum 13 opened for them with his Groundwerx crew. For the second wave of the tour, Blu Rum again took lead support duties at which point Vadim realized that both performers' styles would mesh, so the three ended up blending their ferociously diverse roots (Bravo's father is Brazilian, her mother Chilean and she was raised in Sweden; Vadim was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, but brought up in London; Blu Rum bounces between the US and Cana! da) to produce the heady blend of trip-hop, hip-hop, African sounds, flamenco guitar and even Japanese Shakuhachi flute as showcased on their 2005 debut LP, <I>Children Of Possibility</I>.

The lewd lyricist extraordinaire released his first album in 1978, and in 1996 alone put out seven LPs and two compilations, including <i>The Best of Blowfly: Analthology</i>. With a charismatic voice somewhere between James Brown and Ol' Dirty Bastard, Blowfly pulls no punches, detailing graphic trysts and sexperimental scenarios with a cocky flamboyance that few possess. Thick Funk grooves support his tales perfectly, with giggling girls occasionally providing background squeals. His libido-laden lyrics may be shocking to some, but Blowfly's relevance cannot be denied. His no-holds-barred style has influenced many rappers, from Too Short and 2 Live Crew to Lil' Kim and Akinyele.

<description><![CDATA[This is the band that Juan Atkins was in before he went on to invent the Detroit Techno sound. One can find here the roots of Techno and Ambient as well as some period pieces. Rik Davis, Atkins, and Jon S. stretch the available technology to its limits in creating habitable Ambient soundscapes. Their Roland synths still emit identifiable keyboard sounds, and the drum loops are definitely pre-909. But don't expect a pure batch of proto-rave material; this band wreaks havoc on genre. For example, be prepared for a journey back to early '80s New Wave-influenced Goth Rock and marvel at the fact that you're not listening to the Cure.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Ghost Town DJs essentially existed in the vacuous, anonymous realm their name seems to suggest until they stumbled upon a way to make the world take notice. Instead of churning out more of their bass-heavy, jiggling, Miami-inspired music, or reaching further back in time to glorify early hip-hop with "Planet Rock"-inspired retro-future gazing, they opted for a new formula: pair off throbbing bass with antique beats and R&B vocals. It worked, and "My Boo" (1996) became a single that was as catchy as the common cold. Their specialty, however, remains catering to those with big woofers and an insatiable appetite for bass.

<description><![CDATA[G-Funk rolled into suburban homes in the Midwest on souped up funk hydraulics, wheezing keyboards and vocodor boxes -- all of which were borrrowed from Electro-Funk. By the time Dr. Dre became a megastar, Electro-Funk's biggest vocodor advocates and innovators, Zapp and their frontman-turned-solo-artist Roger Troutman, had stopped releasing music due to fading public interest. Which isn't to say they hadn't left their mark: Zapp earned several chart notches, while Roger's solo "I Want to Be Your Man" and "Computer Love" -- two sublime songs that twist and turn with every wriggling note -- did the radio and Billboard rounds. After the records stopped selling and he threw in the towel, Roger's role as G-Funk predecessor was highlighted by an appearance on the Dre/2Pac hit "California Love." In 1999, Troutman's brother (and former Zapp member) Larry ended both their lives in a double murder/suicide.

<description><![CDATA[Much loved for their synth-fuelled, funked-out dance jams, Midnight Star scored a series of hit singles in the early 1980s. Founded by the Calloway brothers in Kentucky circa '76, they released seven records over the course of the eighties, including their immensely popular <i>No Parking On The Dancefloor</i>. Fusing elements of R&B, Disco, Funk, and e=Electro, they were perfect for the club circuit and were later sampled by many hip-hop producers. Midnight Star reunited for a few more projects during the nineties and has five different hits collections to their credit. Their best-known tunes include "Freak-A-Zoid," "Curious," "Operator," and "Don't Rock The Boat."]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Like many of his musical peers, Baltimore's Aaron LaCrate takes his inspiration from the seamier side of Charm City. (That would be why he insists upon calling it "Bodymore, Murdaland.") But LaCrate and his frequent collaborator Debonair Samir move beyond Baltimore club's core sound -- a mixture of breakbeats, pop-culture samples and X-rated chants -- with a sound they call "B-more Gutter," fleshing out the electro and ghetto-tech underpinnings with Death Star synths and nu-rave swagger. In addition to his <I>B-more Gutter</I> series, LaCrate runs the Milkcrate label, has collaborated with Spank Rock's Amanda Blank and even toured as Lily Allen's backup DJ. In 2008, his <I>Delicious Gutter</I> remixes revisited party classics from Young MC and Masta Ace Incorporated.

<description><![CDATA[Bass masters DJ Fury and RX Lord continue their reign of low-end terror. Massive Quad bumps, fast-paced 808 beats, XXX rhymes and chanting choruses dominate, praising the joys of freaky ladies and ample booties.

<description><![CDATA[Hailing from LA, the World Class Wreckin Cru merged vicious Electro grooves with straight-forward but nice rhymes. Comprised of Dr. Dre, DJ Yella, Lonzo, and Cli-N-Tel, their early singles like "Surgery" and "Housecalls" found love on the streets and in clubs, while "The Cabbage Patch" and "The Fly" were dancefloor favorites. Their biggest crossover hit came with the decidedly more R&B styled "Turn Off The Lights" in '87. By the late eighties, Dre and Yella had moved on to start the pioneering gangsta squad N.W.A.

<description><![CDATA[A shocking fact about Telex: behind the analog keyboards, sequencers and drum machines are real, live humans. Three Belgian men produced these futuristic dance tracks throughout the '70s and '80s. A more disco-infused form of Kraftwerk's techno-pop, Telex let their synths unleash string sections worth of oscillations as their minimal beats loop on until dawn. Lyrics, primarily about dancing, lie hidden behind the estrangement of Vocoders that fuse the words to their analog instruments. Even today, their tracks seem other-worldly. In '98, a group of producers paid much over-due respect to the band by creating a full-length collection of impressive remixes.

<description><![CDATA[A female duo proves that ladies can run game just like the fellas. Strong flows discuss jackin' men for dollars and livin' large. Production is very West Coast, with obese basslines, colorful keys, and steady beats. Mentored by Oakland's revolutionary rapper Paris, The Daughters released two LPs, 1993's <i>Ear To The Street</i>, followed by <i>Gamers</i> in '96.

<description><![CDATA[Hailing from Boston, Arthur Baker got his start as a club DJ before launching a career in music production. He began making tracks for Emergency Records, and moved to New York in the late 1970s. After producing a few singles for Michelle Wallace and Glory, Baker hooked up with upstart label Tommy Boy and co-produced two extremely influential tunes, "Jazzy Sensation" and "Planet Rock," each with Afrika Bambaataa. Eventually, Baker started his own label, Streetwise, and continued to produce club-ready dance tracks. His skills behind the boards led to many high-profile collaborations, including projects with Dylan and Springsteen. He released two albums of his own: <i>Merge</i> in 1989 and "Give In To The Rhythm</i> two years later.
