Funk radio is the most physically immediate music on the internet. Open the funk genre page on 72FM in any browser and the groove arrives before you've processed a single lyric — no account, no download required to start. Funk is rhythmically specific in a way that most genres aren't: it lives in the "one" (the first beat of the bar), in interlocking bass and drums, in brass stabs and rhythm guitar muted to a percussive click. Understanding how it works makes it more enjoyable, not less. This guide covers the history, the sub-styles, and where to find them.
