What are your favourite funk bands/artists which use synths in their music?
The music could be all acoustic with the exception of a synth solo, or it could be all electronic, as long as there is a dominant synth (or synths) being used.
Anything from The Headhunters to some future space cadets playing on Contium Fingerboard.
I'm especially interested to find new, contemporary artists. What I'm not looking for is club/dance music where they use the word 'funk' in the title of a song or band, but where funk is non-existent. One such band, Planet Funk, great dance and downtempo music (got the CD, love every track), but none of it is Funk, so it's not what I'm looking for here.
There was somebody here at KVR who posted a link to a sublime contemporary funk track they produced and I had bookmarked it but can't find it now (rubbish bookmarking on my part, I'd say lol). The video was all dancing with split screen tricks, lots of analogue synths doing the boogie...anyone know which video I mean? I've been searching on You Tube but so far, no luck.
So yeah, list them Funketeers, as I feel my CD library needs to expand.
