FUNKORAMA - Make it funky!
Funkorama ist eine Veranstaltungsreihe und eine Mixtape Serie aus Berlin, gegründet von Mellowbag Mastermind DJ B.Side im Jahr 2009. Im Alleingang, oder zusammen mit seinem Partner Marc Hype (Phaderheadz, Funkvergnügen), kramt B.Side tief in seiner riesigen Plattensammlung nach allem was funky ist und gut groovt. Musikalische Schwerpunkte der Veranstaltung sind Nu-Funk und klassischer Funk der 60er und 70er Jahre, jedoch ist das Konzept keines Falls darauf beschränkt. Es fliessen auch Stilrichtungen wie Breakbeat, Breaks, D&B oder Acid Jazz mit ein, genauso wie Latin Jazz, Bailefunk, Hip Hop und vieles mehr. Einen guten Einblick bekommt man beim durch hören der FUNKORAMA Tapes. Die Veranstaltungsreihe hat ihren Ursprung in Berlin, macht aber immer mehr Ausflüge durch ganz Europa und wird mittlerweile auch auf Sylt oder in Österreich und der Schweiz veranstaltet.

Nu funk is a contemporary form of the 1970s musical genre funk.[1]

Since mid-1990s and further into 2000s, a number of new bands have emerged that played original compositions intended to imitate the sound of 1970's deep funk bands. The concept usually includes using vintage musical instruments and recording equipment, as well as distribution via analogue record discs. However, an updated tighter sound is not uncommon as well. Stylistically, nu funk is somewhat close to jam bands.

Nu-funk originated in Brooklyn in the 1980s[citation needed]. The music was slow[citation needed], riff-oriented and danceable. Listeners would often dance and "jive" during the riffs.

Unlike original funk that was primarily US-based, nu funk is a worldwide phenomenon. Most notable bands such as The Quantic Soul Orchestra and The New Mastersounds come from the UK. Other countries are also well represented with bands like The Poets of Rhythm from Germany and The Bamboos from Australia. Since the late 2000s however, the Nu-Funk sound has adapted influences from Hip-Hop, Funky Breaks, Dubstep and Big Beat and became a more diverse sample-based form of music but keeping with the funk motif. This style of Nu-Funk has been popularised by the likes of Featurecastand A Skillz, and is usually played around 100-120 BPM. A notable label of this kind of Nu-Funk is Boogie Boutique Records (London, UK)and the GoodGroove Records label in Bath, UK.
