Pablo Ojeda’s latest single “Greasy” oozes contemporary Funk appeal

Funk Bassist Pablo Ojeda released their 6-track EP Gotta Move on July 17th. While each of the instrumental tracks is sure to be a hit with any fans of Jazz Funk, the perfect introduction to their almost impossibly smooth style is “Greasy”.

Greasy may seem like a strange choice for a bass-led Jazz Funk mix, but once you’re half-way through, you’ll notice that your consciousness has already been consumed by the mesmeric unpredictable progressions which in true Jazz style, throw time signatures out of the window.

There may be plenty of nostalgia to be found in Greasy, but there’s no disputing that it’s a modernistic soundscape which oozes contemporary Funk appeal. Get it in your ears.

Soak Up Some Intricately Rhythmic Instrumental Funk with The Data Waves’ EP “Lady in Red”

For their latest EP “Lady In Red” The Data Waves served up one of the most viscerally hypnotic offerings of genre-defiance we’ve heard in a long time. The instrumental Funk band have the rare talent of striking you with an instantaneously arrestive soundscape which leaves you with little choice whether their soundscape will resonate.

There is no need for lyrics or vocals to lace their tracks with emotion, instead, the emotivity is palpable through the up-vibe melodies which carry pure anthemic good vibes as the tracks progress and contort organically. Each one of the instrumentalists in the Data Waves is a master of intricate rhythmic command, but I’m fairly sure that the sax player sold his soul to the devil.
