So far I've found:

Hiatus kayote (phychedelic jazz funk)

The Steppers (funky slight phych to it, fun live)

Alyson rae (pop funk)

Laneous (I don't really know where he fits but it's got something. Sad clown neo soul?)

Play lunch ( chillipeppers flavor)

Kaiit(funky neo soul)

Squid nebula (phychedelic funk)

Anything else I should be checking out. I lean more jazz/hiphop/gospel/neo soul than I do phychedelia.

Let's get a playlist going!

Saving this post so I can come back. I'll be checking them all out.

For an older band, Swoop. I still have the CD.

Edit: I literally just discovered they put out a second album.

Skunkhour used to be pretty good back in the day. If you like jazz-funk check out Directions In Groove. 90’s.

Wow, I feel so old. Never heard of any of these bands/people, don’t even know what funk is. Will be checking them all out. Thanks for the recommendations!

Vaudeville Smash do Yacht Rock and Pork Groove funk.

They used to be called PornLand and did only Porn Groove.

Not quite as good as I recall but a pretty decent Red hot chilli peppers homage

Client Liaison, if you extend your definition of funk to 80s Minneapolis boogie groove.

Cookin' On 3 Burners - Organ funk

Odette Mercy and her Soul Atomics - female led soul grooves

30/70 Collective - funkified jazz and neo soul

Dyslexic Fish (now defunkt)

You've posted a few I haven't heard, I will check them out.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I love 30/70 I’ll check out some of these other guys you posted

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Yeah look, they're not all as good as 30/70, I definitely don't like any as much. Enjoy regardless.

Directions In Groove did very white people funk but I kind of dug it
