Welcome!

Welcome to Ultrafunk, a site dedicated to bringing you quality soul, hip-hop, jazz and funk news, reviews, features and releases.

It is meant to be a resource for all people interested in the above mentioned musical genres and others closely related to them, written and maintained by people with a passionate interest in music.

The main motivation for starting this site was not to compete with the many other excellent but often limited special interest sites dedicated to any of the genres, but to complement them by tying the music together across genre boundaries.

Content will be focused on the following:

News: Short and concise updates on what is happening like new artists, projects in progress, collaborations and tours etc.

Reviews: Only releases and events of high quality will be reviewed (hence no ratings), because we want to make it easy to find great music in the form of albums, books, concerts, film/video and more.

Releases: Recommended music and music-related content both old and new in any format like mixes and podcasts, records we love but don’t have time to review, single tracks, videos etc.

Features: In-depth articles like interviews, artist bios, essays and more.

If you would like to contribute material, please feel free to contact us. If you want to give us feedback or other suggestions, please leave a comment where relevant or contact us directly.

Peace,

The Ultrafunk crew
