I am looking forward to this gig next Wednesday August 19th, courtesy of Foggy Notions and the impressionable Choice Cuts team. Diplo has already signed them to Mad Decent. Their 'dub-fuelled psychedelic Afro-blues' should provide a welcome escapism from the dreadful Irish Summer weather.

In the past few weeks I have noticed a revival of the Funkadelic/Parliament vision of the futuristic. The DFA remix of M.I.A.'s Paper Planes, while more reminiscent of an updated clash than p-funk, has laser beam shooting effects instead of the gun shots that you hear in the original. I watched a random episode of The Mighty Boosh and the character Old Gregg had a Funkadelic funk. Old Gregg's story of how he got this funk was portrayed by an animation akin to the illustrations that are seen on the album covers of funkadelic records. The video below is Snoop Dogg having a great old funkadelic time. Hardcore fans think he is selling out by using a vocoder but I think it's genius.
