Music style guide

Funk

Funk centers the groove through rhythm, bass and closely interacting instrumental parts. Syncopation and repeated figures give the music a physical character, with space for personality inside a strong rhythmic framework.

What to listen for

Follow the bass and the off-beat accents. Small, tightly placed parts can combine into a groove much larger than any one instrument. Use the artist profiles below to hear how different musicians approach this sound. These are listening connections, rather than a claim that each artist works exclusively within one style.
