1975: Funk in a World on Fire

A dive into the sound that moved bodies and minds in the pivotal mid-’70s.
From Parliament’s interstellar soul to The O’Jays’ righteous calls and fat basslines from Ohio Players and B.T. Express — every track here carries weight.
Ride with us through “Mothership Connection (Star Child)” down to “Do It (‘Til You’re Satisfied)” — it’s a cosmic trip back to funk’s golden moment.

1975 was a year of global transformation — wars ended, new nations emerged, and culture was shifting rapidly. The funk tracks on this mix don’t just sound good — they sit in the middle of this decisive moment.
