"D-Funk" presents 18 block-rocking and distinctively eclectic funk, disco and boogie nuggets from Germany that range from sweaty JB-styled grooves, cooking fusion gems, up-tight post-punk funk, to slick urban disco anthems. Some Krauts certainly knew how to cook up a serious groove and put the D into funk. Just take The Poets Of Rhythm and The Whitefield Brothers, two groups from Munich that immerged themselves so deep into the rare grooves of James Brown's People label catalogue that it became part of their DNA. The discofied side of funk is represented by Ganymed's spacy seven minute magnum opus "Future World" and the incredibly switched-on "Stop Talking Bull", a rocking collaboration between Discotizer and Supermax. Disco overlord Giorgio Moroder makes a laid-back appearance with his one-off project Stolen Property with a slow burnin, super-kool cover of War\'s "Low Rider". Even Boney M. got funky once. Their completely unknown and completely atypical B-side "Dancing In The Streets" sounds as good as any Miami funk tune. Old school bandleaders also infused their sound with a dose of FUNK. The sophisticated fusion sound of James Last's "Bolero '75" could give Deodato a serious run for his money. Bert Kaempfert's long-time collaborator Herbert Rehbeinis is the man behind Su Kramer's totally unique space boogie "Magic Dance". Lovers of deep P-Funk will be delighted by the contributions of Cheeseslider and Montana Chromeboy, pure uncut funk nuggets full of Larry Graham-styled slap bass and mad vocals beamed in straight from the mothership.
