Lock Into Funk Beats
Everything Serves the Groove
Funk subordinates harmony to rhythm. Bass and guitar interlock rather than accompany, the drums emphasise beat one hard and then get out of the way, and most of a track can happen over a single chord at 100 to 120 BPM without ever feeling static.
- Syncopated slap or fingered bass playing the primary hook.
- Sixteenth-note wah or muted guitar filling the gaps between bass notes.
- Tight snare and hi-hat patterns with a heavy accent on the downbeat.
- Horn or clavinet stabs punctuating rather than sustaining.
Funk for Singles, Content and Samples
Classic funk, funk-soul and disco-funk suit feel-good singles and dance content, and Brazilian-funk-influenced beats bring the same groove at club tempo. Funk is also prime sampling material, so a stem-inclusive licence is useful if you plan to chop rather than write over it.
