Big Ol' Nasty Getdown - Volume 2

Funk just got deeper, dirtier, and way more unpredictable and Volume 2 is where we really cut loose.

We’ve always been about bringing together funk legends, soul powerhouses, and jam-scene firebrands into one ever-evolving musical family, and on Volume 2 we take that idea further than ever before.

Where Volume 1 introduced the magic, Volume 2 doubles down. Over 60 musicians stepped into these sessions, including members of Parliament-Funkadelic, Earth, Wind & Fire, Fishbone, Bootsy’s Rubber Band, Living Colour, James Brown Band, Kool & the Gang, the Meters and more. These weren’t drive-by or phoned in features, everyone came to build, experiment, and leave their fingerprints on the music.

From fat bass lines and blazing horn breaks to heavy guitars, psych-soaked keys, and conscious, fearless lyrics, Volume 2 pushes funk into a perpetual deep groove. Every track stands on its own, but together they tell a bigger story. One about freedom, collaboration, and the raw joy of making music with no rules.
