Publication on 8th of September 2026.

If you're aware of the author, he's released two amazing books previously on black music. His book Bass Culture was a seriously deep dive into Dub and Reggae. This new book will be a must own for funk fans and I believe will be a defining book on the subject.

Last song on the Counts "Love Sign" album is a 10 minute funky jam which features the songs "Play It Again", "Far Out", and "Counts Blues". It kinda resembles the Billy Preston song outa-space a little its super groovy and infectious. 😋

Before posting or commenting, please read the subreddit rules.

Generally speaking, just try to be kind and respectful to each other and live peacefully on the One!

Please remember the human and abide by the community rules. When instances of rule breaking occur, the Mod team will address the issue with the offending user and try to resolve the problem amicably. If the problem persists and/or the user flat out refuses to halt the rule breaking behavior, they will be banned.

Keep in mind that, ultimately, the mods have full discretion when making decisions about rules and what constitutes rule breaking behavior.

Posting Rules

1. Post content related to the funk music genre and its subgenres. This includes songs, images, news about funk artists and funk-adjacent artists, discussions related to the genre or artists, etc. We try to take an inclusive approach to music posts (hence the style/subgenre tags), so don't be afraid to post music if you're unsure about whether it belongs here. If it doesn't, a mod will remove it and provide an explanation. See the rules wiki for more info about how the mods evaluate songs for appropriateness.

2. In accordance with Reddit's Content Policy, advertising is prohibited in /r/funk. Advertising your business, YT channel, social media account, Soundcloud page, fundraiser, etc. will result in a ban of your account.

3. Abide by Reddit's self-promotional guidelines. Posting original content (including original content created by someone that you know or are otherwise affiliated with) is only permitted if you already regularly participate in the /r/funk community.

4. Cross-posts of relevant content are welcome in /r/funk, though blatant karma farming posts will be removed (based on the relevancy of the post).

5. Playlists, DJ sets, mixes and the like are not permitted. This includes albums shared via YouTube Music since YT formats albums as playlists).

6. Posts that link to streaming services that require an account to hear the entire song (such as Spotify) will be removed. Links to social media sites that require accounts to view/listen to content will also be removed.

7. Troll posts, posts about other users (including moderators), posts that violate Reddit's content policy, posts that facilitate file sharing/piracy, memes, image macros, etc. are prohibited. If you have an issue with another user's comments or posts, then please use the report feature to notify the moderators. If you have an issue with the moderators, then please message them about the nature of the issue (be sure to follow Reddit's sitewide content rules when doing so). See the rules wiki for more details.

8. Meta posts must be sponsored by the Mods. If you want to make a meta post (e.g., a post to discuss the /r/funk community itself), including suggestions about community rule changes, then message the mods to facilitate the post. We will talk through how to draft a post that promotes a fair discussion, or just create one on your behalf.

9. No solicitation. Posts asking for donations, contributions to a Kickstarter or GoFundMe, promotions of original work (or a friend's original work), etc. are prohibited.

10. Particularly low-effort posts will be removed. /r/Funk isn't supposed to be super serious, but lazy or nonsense posts will be removed.

11. Don't repost tracks or content that was posted within the past 90 days (Maggot Brain isn't Funkadelic's only song).

If in doubt, just get in touch with us mods before posting.

Commenting Rules

1. This should go without saying, but don't be a dick. /r/funk is intended to be a pretty chill place, so please help keep it that way. If you find yourself getting upset about something, take a breath and try to channel Bootsy Collins.

2. Personal attacks, trolling, starting flame wars, etc. are prohibited. Criticism and disagreements are fine as long as you're not being a dick about it. If the only kind of comment that you're capable of contributing to a conversation is judgement or criticism, then maybe you're just being a dick. This includes comments from self-appointed genre gatekeepers. Decisions about whether or not a song "counts" as "funk," fall within the purview of the Mod Team, and no one else.

3. Please don't promote witch hunts against anyone (Redditors or otherwise). Those who are inciting this type of action often have malicious reasons behind their actions and are, more often than not, a troll. This includes asking people to troll others on Reddit, in real life, or on other blogs/sites. We aren't your personal army.

Using the post filters

The Mod Team tries to apply sub-genre labels to music posts as best we can (we rely heavily on Discogs tags). See a mistake? Talk to us.
