Podcast appearances and mentions of George Clinton

I stjärnbilden Pegasus ligger en hop med kolliderande galaxer som skapar gravitationsstörningar och instabilitet. En form av galaktisk kannibalism. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. De olika galaxerna dras allt närmare varandra, och efter ett antal sammandrabbningar kommer de att gå samman i en enda gigantisk galax.I den sjätte och sista delen om George Clinton blir P-funkens massiva inflytande på populärmusiken uppenbar. När många trodde att P-funken var död gav hiphop den ett nytt liv. Parliament/Funkadelics status var redan hög bland Detroits technogarde. Bernie Worrells lir i nummer som ”Flash light” och ”Unfunky UFO” fick Juan Atkins att spela funk på synthesizers, och så föddes techno. Dr. Dre byggde sin ljudvärld på P-funk. Digital Underground hittade sitt lustig sväng, och Andre 3000 i Outkast fann friheten.Vid sidan om möten med George Clinton innehåller avsnittet bland annat bitar från Mats Nileskärs intervjuer med Bernie Worrell, Garry Shider, Gary ”Mudbone” Cooper, Bootsy Collins, Malia Franklin (Parlet), Andre 3000, Afrika Bambaataa, Juan Atkins, Paris, James Brown, Abdul ”Duke” Fakir (Four Tops), Money-B (Digital Underground), Flying Lotus och Channel Tres.

Efter ett framgångsrikt 70-tal kände sig George Clinton utmanövererad av branschen, föll ner i ett crackberoende och drog sig tillbaka till sin farm. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Var Pfunken över? När alla tittade bort kom svaret genom ett nummer som förändrade hans liv igen.Det var en snöig dag i Detroit. En hög George Clinton med farhågor om att han hade förlorat sin förmåga att skapa hits halkade på trapporna till studion. Väl i sångbåset gick han loss över det klinkande ljudet från metallobjekt och ett märkvärdigt baklängesbeat. Skällde och agerade galet, lite mer än vanligt. ”Atomic dog” sände chockvågor genom hiphopkulturen och sköt elektronisk funk i en ny riktning. Bara Ice Cube har samplat låten sju gånger. Dr. Funkenstein lyckades kliva ut ur ett kraschat rymdskepp, men nya utmaningar låg framför honom.Programserien bygger på sju möten med George Clinton, samt i detta avsnitt även intervjuer medbland andra Gary Shider, Shirley Hayden, Malia Franklin (Parlet), Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, Afrika Bambaataa, Amp Fiddler, Kevin Goines, Mitch McDowell General Kane), Patti Labelle, Nona Hendryx, En Vogue och Snoop Dogg.

P-funken nådde ett klimax 1978. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ett år som startade genom Parliaments första listetta ”Flash light” med sångkrok från bar mitzva och ett väldigt beat som kom både från soptunnan och från rymden, och slutade med en oemotståndlig variation på amerikanska trohetseden ”One nation under a groove”.Låtarna banade väg för en elektronisk revolution bortom disco. Keyboardgeniet Bernie Worrells böjda toner fick funkbanden att mata sina låtar med moogbas, och allt drog mot en mer maskinorienterad musikform som mynnade ut i electro och techno. Synthesizerljuden kom också att utgöra en grund för gangstarap. Basisten Bootsy Collins var nu en stabil ryggrad i P-funk. Samtidigt som Dr. Funkenstein serverade en smak av framtiden letade han sig tillbaka till barndomen. Ramsor, melodier och sånger som han burit med sig sedan barnsben.Vid sidan om möten med George Clinton bygger avsnittet även på samtal med bland andra Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, Frankie ”Kash” Waddy, James Brown och Parlet.

In this unforgettable episode of Musicians Reveal with Joe Kelley, funk visionary RonKat Spearman—multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and driving force behind Katdelic—shares his wild, soulful journey through the world of funk and beyond.

He recorded well-received solo records for A&M and Warners and was a part of Anton Fier's Golden Palominos project, alongside an international touring cast that included Michael Stipe (R.E.M.), Jack Bruce (Cream), Carla Bley, and Bernie Worrell (Talking Heads, George Clinton). He continued recording and producing upon returning to NC in 1993.  His recent releases include The Great Escape, Lovesick Blues and Euphoria, as well as Falling Off the Sky with The dB's and A Brand-New Shade of Blue with the Fellow Travelers.

As a producer, arranger, and mixer, he has worked with over a hundred artists, including Ryan Adams, Alejandro Escovedo, Kronos Quartet, Flat Duo Jets, Skylar Gudasz, Branford Marsalis, Tift Merritt, Le Tigre, Those Pretty Wrongs, and Yo La Tengo.  From 2010-2018, Stamey was orchestrator and musical director for an international series of concert performances of Big Star's classic album Third, alongside Big Star's Jody Stephens, Ray Davies, members of the Posies, R.E.M., Teenage Fanclub, Wilco, and Yo La Tengo; Thank You, Friends, a concert film of these arrangements, was released by Concord in March 2017. He currently tours as a member of Jody Stephens's Big Star Quintet, whose line-up includes Mike Mills (R.E.M), Pat Sansone (Wilco), and Jon Auer (Posies). His original radio musical about the early '60s in Manhattan, Occasional Shivers, premiered nationwide on Christmas Day 2016. A “songwriting memoir,” A Spy in the House of Loud (Univ. of Texas Press), was published in 2018, followed in 2019 by his first printed collection, New Songs for the 20th Century, with a companion two-disc CD (Omnivore Recordings).  open.spotify.com/artist/1i7YYagcULgnW5Qilsto1d music.apple.com/us/artist/chris-stamey/4034250 youtube.com/channel/UCG3O3S8Zg_WJoz2uTt_duig# instagram.com/mrstamey/?hl=en facebook.com/chrisstameymusic/ twitter.com/chrisstamey songkick.com/artists/186319-chris-stamey bandsintown.com/a/78299-chris-stamey deezer.com/us/artist/1279457 tidal.com/browse/artist/3611403 qobuz.com/us-en/interpreter/chris-stamey/515742 audiomack.com/chris-stamey music.amazon.com/artists/B008LPNC4M @chris-stamey.bsky.social

Funken stod nu mot förtrycket, och genom Parliament återvände George Clinton till R&B, men helt och hållet på sina villkor. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Det psykedeliska tonades ner, och fram klev ett gäng glittriga rymdhallickar. Gränsen mellan science fiction och socialrealism suddades ut.I Parliament fann George Clinton några av sina skarpaste teman. Det handlade bland annat om att placera afroamerikaner i oväntade situationer, eller på platser där de inte hade tillträde.1975-års ”Mothership connection” var Clintons motsvarighet till Sun Ras ”Space is the place”med en spektakulär arenashow och ett rymdskepp som landade i det förslummade Amerika, och tog människor med sig ut i rymden till en bättre och värdigare plats. Politisk satir (”Chocolate city”) till äventyrslysten funk förändrade spelplanen för Clinton och hans musikerkollektiv.I del tre möter du även bland andra Bootsy Collins, Garry Shider, och Gary Mudbone Cooper.

Medan George Clinton förgäves försökte bestiga Motownberget, hade unga britter hedrat musiken som var djupt förankrad i hans psyke. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Clinton insåg att han hade förbisett sina bästa möjligheter, och vände nu blicken mot vita psykedeliska band och deras riffbaserade pyroteknik.Han föreställde sig ett nytt område där han kunde operera bortom soul- och rockmusikens gamla lagar. Parliaments skrangliga försök att ansluta sig till tidens hitskapare ersattes av en ambition att tolka de revolutionära strömningarna. Detroit var ett epicentrum för uppvigling. En vanlig kväll kunde man höra Stooges, MC5 och Funkadelic på samma scen. Alla var inne på friformjazz, experiment med gitarrljud, rytmisk förnyelse och sinnesutvidgande droger. Funkadelics debutalbum satte tonen för 70-talet.I avsnitt två möter du även Garry Shider, Billy Nelson, Sly Stone, Norman Whitfield, Temptations, Bernie Worrell och Archie Shepp.

Galenskap har sällan svängt så okontrollerat och fritt. Det är svårt att föreställa sig hur musiken hade låtit och sett ut om det inte vore för en galaktisk man i vitt lakan, platåstövlar och hår i regnbågens färger Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. George Clinton öppnade porten till en annan verklighet bortom förtrycket och fattigdomen där fantasin flödade i en korsning av all musik.Från frisersalongen i New Jersey och söt doowop under gatlyktan, till Detroits uppviglande rockscen och blåkopian för Motowns psykedeliska soul, vidare till kronan på verket. En hårdsvängande, vild bandfunk som fick namnet P-funk, och som visade vägen in i afrofuturism, hiphop, techno och mycket mer.Parliament/Funkadelics katalog tillhör den mest samplade, och har funkat som bas för bland andra Dr Dre, Snoop och Digital Underground. Med utgångspunkt i sju möten med George Clinton serverar Mats Nileskär berättelsen om en spektakulär karriär som spänner över sju decennier.I avsnitt ett träffar du också Garry Shider, Billy Nelson, James Brown, George Kerr, Bernie Worrell och Smokey Robinson.

RECORDED FEBRUARY 2025 Hosted by Scott "DR GX" Goldfine — musicologist, author of “Everything Is on the One: The First Guide of Funk” and creator/host of the popular TRUTH IN RHYTHM podcast — "Where'd You Get Your Funk From?" is the latest interview show brought to you by FUNKNSTUFF.NET. Where'd You Get Your Funk From (WYGYFF) is an open format video and audio podcast focusing on the here and now, with a broad range of creative and artistic guests sharing fascinating stories, experiences, and perspectives. WYGYFF is a welcoming avenue to newer and independent musical acts as well as established and still active musicians of any genre; authors; filmmakers; actors; artists; collectors and archivists; radio & podcast personalities; journalists; scholars; sound techs; promoters; photographers; and other creative people. A common thread, is the show's standard opening question: Where'd you get your funk from? This is much deeper than it may seem as the answer need not be strictly about funky music, as not everyone has found the funk. It could hit on whatever type of music touches their soul or pleasure centers. Additionally, the question extends beyond music. Paraphrasing George Clinton, funk is whatever it needs to be to get you over the hump. Thus, guests can explain where they got their grit, perseverance, inspiration, talent, creativity, character or other qualities that shaped them into who they are today. This serves as a springboard into candid, in-depth and engrossing conversations. LEGAL NOTICE: All video and audio content protected by copyright.

Stop Making Sense is a concert film directed by Jonathan Demme, the man who would later deliver one of the strongest films of the 1990s in Silence of the Lambs. It features new-wave band Talking Heads at the height of their powers during a four-night residency in Los Angeles in 1983.Bandleader David Byrne, equal parts Bill Nye, Pentecostal firebrand, and George Clinton, is the star of the show...both as lead vocalist and primary creative vision behind the stage production...indeed Byrne infects a rock show with performance art, iconic choreography, and visual flair Ala Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground.What starts as a one-man show starring Byrne, quickly grows to envelope all of the core members of Talking Heads --and within a few more numbers the group has expanded to an all-star cast of multiethnic, jet-fuel driven musicians. The film has received a recent 4K release from acclaimed production company A24.

Join hosts Tami Larson and Dennis Strazulo as they dive into the vibrant atmosphere of JazzFest 2025, with this episode recorded at The Broadside in New Orleans during the 10th Annual Crawfish Festival. In this episode, the first of several generated from JazzFest, the focus is on the experiences of the captivating, modern New Orleans funk band, The Rumble, authors of  a sound they dub "New Orleans Mardi Gras Funk!" Special guest co-host, Wally Ingram, joins the first part of the episode, engaging with The Rumble's co-founder and soulful guitarist, Ari Teitel and its super talented keyboard player, Andriu  “Yano” Yanovski, as they reflect on their hard working paths to success as Grammy nominated musicians. The conversation flips to Ari, Andriu and the hosts delving into Wally's storied journey playing with the likes of Timbuk 3, David Lindley, Sherly Crow, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Crowded House, George Clinton, and David Nelson, making Wally a  beloved percussionist/drummer across music genres. As these remarkable artists muse about their influences and mentors, Wally shares stories of his role as mentor for his bass-playing daughter Lydia's friend, Paolo Pesce and his rising band, Great Big Cow, while exuding praise and respect for the New Orleans music scene and much more!Ari and Andriu visit with Tales From  The Green Room fresh off their set with The Gangsters of Love, performing the music of Johnny “Guitar” Watson on the opening day of the  Crawfish Festival. When not playing with The Rumble you can catch Ari playing with Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk and Andriu jamming with David Shaw of The Revivalists, or sitting in with a myriad of ensembles around The Crescent City and across the USA.  The duo also make up the-thirds of the sensational improv band, AX3.The backstage banter continues as the hosts chat it up with other members of The Rumble - leader and co-founder Chief Joseph Boudreaux, Jr., trumpet player Aurelien "Sunpie" Barnes, bassist TJ Norris, and  inspirational drummer Trenton O'Neal -  moments before they hit the stage on day two of Crawfish Fest. The artists explore the band's formation, intentional approach, and dynamic performances. The band members also delve into their cultural and musical heritage with engaging anecdotes, industry insights, and a celebration of New Orleans' rich musical tradition. This episode captures the essence of The Rumble's journey and their undeniable impact on New Orleans music and beyond!Catch The Rumble at High Sierra Music Festival 2025 July 3-6!Episode Photo Gallery by Chris Applebaum Images – 4/28/25 Episode Photo Gallery by Chris Applebaum Images – 4/29/25HighlightsThere's something about the groove here. It's different. I kind of always say I don't trust a drummer who hasn't spent some time in New Orleans. Yeah. I mean, it's just, it's in the air. You feel it, you're so spoiled down here, man. It's just amazing. It's unifying too!-Wally Ingram praising the New Orleans music scene Detroit's got such a rich musical tradition, and I had a chance to come up under a lot of the greats and people like Ralph Armstrong, who played with Mahavishnu Orchestra and got a chance to play with Allan Barnes, sax player from Donald Byrd and the Blackbyrds. I had great teachers like Rodney Whitaker, the great upright bass player in Detroit. So I got a strong foundation in blues bebop, R&B, and then played in church and also in Michigan there was a strong jam band community, so I was kind of always in and out of that.-Ari Teitel on learning from the greats in his home state of MichiganIt opens you up. You stay open for the moments, for those times when you might go off script. But that's where the magic is. That's the sauce. Those are the moments I freaking live for. You're on the edge, you don't know what's gonna happen, and then you come up. Especially if I were playing with like Wally or Andrew, I'm confident in that unknown. It will present a lot of opportunities for some great moments, and  in those moments you discover some new musical ground and then everybody shares a smile.-Ari Teitel on how his jazz training opens him up to magical musical momentsWhen I was 19, I met Clyde Stubblefield. in Madison, Wisconsin. A friend of mine brought him to see me play, and I met him and I asked him if he teaches lessons. He goes, no, no man, just play. Just come down every Monday night. I'm at this club. Just come down. So I would go down there and watch him play. Just like what you guys were talking about. And he would say, oh yeah, you're that guy. A drummer, okay, you're up next set. And you'd have to just sit in with his band, which is a full R&B band with horns and they'd be like, oh shit. Clyde's got another drummer. Shit. So you'd have to sit in with his band and hold your own. He was very open to that. And we became great friends his whole life and we played together a lot.-Wally Ingram on learning from legendary James Brown drummer, Clyde StubblefieldI was at the show seeing Robert Randolph when I was 11 years old. My dad got everybody in the section to point at me…this kid, this kid! So he calls me up. I played for two minutes and then his guitar tech came to usher me off. Like, okay, that was it. Good job buddy. And then Rob Randolph waved him off, and said, no, no, no, he's staying up. So I  played a whole 20 minutes with him. He lifted me up. Yeah. Put me on top of a chair. I didn't know it was happening, my legs were flailing!-Ari Teitel reflecting on his big moment on stage with Robert Randolph at age 11 I didn't really know the function of a keyboard in a band fully until I heard about Ray Charles and heard what he did for the first time. I had never played a Rhodes piano. It felt insane the first time I played one. It was Ray Charles really that opened my mind. And then it was like Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson. And that was cool with my parents 'cause they were classically proficient. But then it started to deepen. Then you, obviously, learn about Miles Davis

Un diggeur passionné des Caraïbes talonné par un poète anglo-trinidadien qui slame la mémoire des afro-descendants. Emile Omar est notre 1er invité pour présenter le 3e volume de la série Disques Debs International Mizik Maladi (Strut Record 2025). Une compilation concoctée par Emile Omar et Hugo Mendez.Strut présente avec enthousiasme le troisième volume tant attendu de la série Disques Debs International, explorant plus en profondeur les archives de l'un des plus grands labels franco-caribéens, Disques Debs, basé en Guadeloupe. Fondé par le visionnaire Henri Debs à la fin des années 1950, le label et son studio ont fonctionné pendant plus de 50 ans, produisant plus de 300 singles 7” et 200 albums, faisant de Disques Debs un pilier de l'histoire musicale caribéenne.Au début des années 1980, Henri Debs s'était déjà imposé comme un producteur prolifique, avec un catalogue de sorties inégalé en Guadeloupe et en Martinique. Parti d'un simple magnétophone deux pistes installé à l'arrière d'une boutique de vêtements, Disques Debs s'est transformé en une véritable institution, avec un studio ultramoderne en plein cœur de Pointe-à-Pitre, des magasins de disques et d'instruments de musique en Guadeloupe, en Martinique et à Paris, une discothèque au Gosier, ainsi que des accords de distribution internationale en Europe, aux États-Unis et en Amérique du Sud.Disques Debs a joué un rôle essentiel dans l'évolution de la musique caribéenne moderne, créant un pont entre les genres traditionnels comme la biguine et le gwoka et les styles contemporains comme le cadence, le compas et le zouk. Ce dernier est devenu un phénomène mondial dans les années 1980 grâce à des groupes emblématiques comme Kassav' et Zouk Machine. Durant cette période, le label a soutenu une nouvelle génération d'artistes tout en continuant à collaborer avec des figures légendaires des décennies précédentes.Le volume 3 de cette série, compilé par Emile Omar et Hugo Mendez, met en lumière l'une des périodes les plus dynamiques et influentes du label, alors qu'il étendait son rayonnement international dans les années 1980. À travers deux vinyles, cette sortie propose une sélection soigneusement choisie de morceaux issus de l'univers Disques Debs, mettant en avant à la fois de jeunes talents et des artistes confirmés qui ont marqué cette époque.Cette collection célèbre non seulement l'héritage inégalé d'Henri Debs, mais offre également un instantané de l'âge d'or de la musique caribéenne, confirmant Disques Debs comme une véritable institution culturelle.► Titres joués- Christian Yéyé – Misyé Zanndo- Horizon – Neg Mawon- Alex Rosa – L'Appel des champions- Max et Henri – Sé Pou Demen► Album Mizik Maladi, l'âge d'or des Disques Debs International (Strut Record 2025)Bandcamp Volume 1 Bandcamp Volume 2 Cadence Revolution Bandcamp Volume 3 Mizik MaladiÀ écouter aussiSpéciale Disques Debs international avec Émile Omar Notre 2nd invité est Anthony Joseph pour la sortie de l'album Rowing up River to Get Our Names Back.L'origine africaine des OVNI, George Clinton en personne, n'aurait pas désavoué ce concept afro-futuriste dont Anthony Joseph avait fait le sujet de The African Origins Of Ufo's, sa nouvelle écrite il y a bientôt vingt ans. Durant ce laps de temps, les albums du chanteur-poète de Trinidad se sont succédé, mais l'idée ne s'est pas évaporée. Après un travail de réflexion et de recherches artistiques avec le musicien-producteur Dave Okumu, il est même devenu l'axe de rotation de son nouvel album. Base des premiers titres élaborés en duo, la nouvelle est ensuite devenue la rampe de lancement de Rowing Up River To Get Our Names Back Vol 1 & 2. D'une aventure si dense qu'il a fallu la scinder en deux parties. Après avoir solidement assuré la connexion musicale de toute la diaspora caribéenne sur ses précédents albums, Anthony Joseph s'engage dans une fresque musicale aussi ambitieuse que fascinante : l'exploration de toutes ces strates qui constituent la longue et tumultueuse histoire de la musique noire. Ces couches créatives qui se sont superposées et additionnées, la nouvelle se nourrissant de la précédente pour, sans le savoir, préparer l'arrivée de la suivante. Cet immense puzzle où, reliées par une forte conscience politique, les différentes pièces ont noirci les portées de leurs notes les plus intenses. Sculpté dans la cire des œuvres si impérissables qu'elles ont rendu stériles toutes les tentatives d'altération des décennies qui se sont accumulées. Forme, fond, portée révolutionnaire, tout est resté intact. Y compris l'esprit de tous ces musiciens qui ne se sont exprimés que par la voix de leur instrument, la puissance de leur groove, la radicalité de leur démarche artistique.Funk, P-Funk, soul, dub, free-jazz, jazz, afrobeat, blues, confrontant leurs deux visions musicales pour n'en former plus qu'une, c'est en binôme éclairé par les phares de leur créativité qu'Anthony Joseph et Dave Okumu ont façonné un afro-futurisme à l'esthétique mouvante et sans limites d'expansion. Stabilisée par cette volonté de raviver toutes les racines, l'exploration se conjugue à celle qui mène aux patronymes perdus. Ceux qui, entre le voyage depuis l'Afrique vers l'Amérique, se sont évaporés dans les flots de l'Atlantique et le claquement des fouets. Ceux dont ont été dépossédés les déracinés de force qui ont dû endosser celui du maître. Les peaux des batteries, le bois des baguettes et celui des percussions, le nylon de cordes, les métaux des saxophones et les trompettes, tout ce qui constitue l'arche organique dans laquelle ont embarqué les héros de la musique noire, révèle au moment du décollage un tableau de bord à l'électronique sophistiquée. Renforcer, voire supplanter certaines fonctions peut s'avérer utile tant la destination est lointaine. Elle est à des années-lumière d'ici. La rejoindre impose de connecter le présent avec le passé pour pouvoir l'emmener dans le futur. Dans l'afro futur.

Doldisen från ett träskigt vattendrag i Texas bidrog till att forma ljudet av modern musik. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Rap-A-Lot praktikanten blev osannolikt en av hiphophistoriens betydelsefulla bakomscenenspelare genom sina stilbildande samarbeten med bland andra Scarface, Kanye West, Travis Scott ochThe Weeknd. På senare år har Mike Dean ställt sig i strålkastarskenet omringad av synthesizers från olika eror. Utrustning som skapar ljudspåret till festen innan undergången. Ett mörkt och på samma gång hoppfullt sound. Med en hård arbetsdisciplin och inkännande natur har synthguden och screwsonen väglett några av dom mest temperamentsfulla och lynniga perfektionisterna. Vissa kallar Mike Dean för musikindustrins motsvarighet till Tony Montana. Den fiktiva gangsterkaraktären i Brian DePalmas film ”Scarface”. Andra ser honom som hiphopens förklädde David Lynch (Gordon Cole i ”Twin Peaks”).I avsnittet intervjuar Mats Nileskär även Kanye West, The D.O.C, Scarface, Thee Sacred Souls, Bernie Worrell, George Clinton, Hawk och Dan Penn.
