Funkadelic  - Reworked By Detroiters

Within the history of African-American music, George Clinton, Parliament and Funkadelic loom large. P-Funk influenced many corners of dance music over the years, but the psychedelic mythology of Dr. Funkenstein, Starchild, Sir Nose d’Voidoffunk and the rest has a special resonance in Detroit. When The Electrifying Mojo was educating the Motor City via the airwaves with his show, the Midnight Funk Association, Parliament and Funkadelic were key ingredients in his soulful stew, helping to shape the cosmically-minded delivery of the music. The monologues at the start of those broadcasts tapped into Clinton and co’s idea of funk as a spiritual endeavour. This mythology was instrumental in the formation of techno.

Given the reverence with which this music is held, it’s a brave move to commission a Funkadelic remix compilation. Of all the possible contributors you could think of, the musical community of Detroit feels like the most natural choice. There’s a deep pool of talent to draw on, and the touch of P-Funk can be profoundly felt all over the city’s music legacy. Some artists are notably absent. In the cases of Theo Parrish, Carl Craig and Wajeed, they chose to withhold their versions, deeming them unworthy of the Funkadelic legacy. It’s reassuring to know the job was taken so seriously. The collection, overseen by Ectomorph’s Brendan M. Gillen, focuses specifically on the more psychedelic, rock-oriented Funkadelic. The results veer from subtle tweaks to drastic manipulations.

EN: Honest Jon's is an independent record shop based on Portobello Road in Ladbroke Grove, London, operating since 1974. The shop is owned and run by Mark Ainley and Alan Scholefield, who took over from one of the original proprietors, "Honest" Jon Clare. Their record label of the same name is run in conjunction with Damon Albarn, who has been quoted as saying: "I don't really like the term world music. Wherever it comes from, it's all just music, isn't it? Hopefully that's what Honest Jon's is about - to open a few minds to what's out there."[1] The shop sells a multitude of genres of music on vinyl and CD, specializing in jazz, blues, reggae, dance, soul, folk and outernational. It runs a mail-order business from www.honestjons.com. Formed in 2002, the label has released compilation albums such as its London Is The Place For Me series, excavating the music of young Black London, in the years after World War II ("a fascinating archive of material from the 1950s and 60s, chronicling a time when diasporic rhythms were more or less the sole preserve of the small communities responsible for bringing them to these shores");[2] also collections of British folk, Port-of-Spain soca, Afro-Cuban jazz from the Bronx, Jamaican dancehall; and retrospectives of artists including Moondog, Maki Asakawa, Bettye Swann and Cedric "Im" Brooks & The Light of Saba. It has released original music by Candi Staton, Actress, T++, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Mark Ernestus, Trembling Bells, The Good, The Bad & The Queen, Simone White, Shackleton, Michael Hurley, Terry Hall, and the Moritz Von Oswald Trio. It recorded the chaabi orchestra of Abdel Hadi Halo on location in Algiers; Lobi Traore and Kokanko Sata Doumbia in Bamako; and Tony Allen in Lagos. In 2008, Honest Jon's began a run of compilations of early recordings — mostly drawn from the EMI Archive in Hayes, Hillingdon — stretching back to the start of the twentieth century, covering all corners of the world: from the break-up of the Ottoman Empire more than a hundred years ago, to 1950s Beirut, to late-1920s Baghdad, to 1930s East Africa. wikipedia
