Описание: #70sfunk #70smusic #funk #aimusic

If Funktastic had a moment where the gloves came off, “Funktastic (Nasty Funk Mix)” was it. Produced by the unstoppable Sharon “Figure 8” Seville, this 1977 heater doubled down on raw, unfiltered funk, making it crystal clear that the "First Lady of Funk" was still a certified funk freak. After smoothing things out on earlier versions, Sharon cranked the funk levels all the way up and let the groove snarl.

Anchored by Leroy Stinson’s bouncy, rubbery bassline, the track moves with a deep-pocket swagger as Darnell “Roach” Dawson’s signature wah-wah guitar licks skate effortlessly across the mix. Sharon commands the record with powerhouse, passionate vocals, asserting total control as both producer and frontwoman. The Horny Devils’ blaring horn stabs slice through at just the right moments, while Benjamin “Ben Ben” Harold’s crisp, locking drum kicks bring the entire jam full circle.

Instantly embraced upon release, “Funktastic (Nasty Funk Mix)” ruled radio waves, streets, and nightclubs worldwide. Though grittier and more raw than its counterparts, the track never sacrificed danceability—moving bodies with every spin and cementing its place as a funk staple. Sharon’s fearless production and commanding presence made her a trailblazer for women in funk, a moment of pride for bandleader Dynamite Willy, who believed every Funk Freak deserved the spotlight.

Raw, bold, and unapologetically funky, “Funktastic (Nasty Funk Mix)” stands as another cherished gem in the Funk Freaks’ legendary catalog—proof that their Southern Player sound wasn’t just funktastic… it was downright nasty. 🔥🕺🏽
