You can listen here to; Afrika Bambaataa, C.C. Crew, Camelot II, Captain Sky, Count Coolout, Doctor Ice, Doug E. Fresh, Grandmaster Flash, Grandmaster Melle Mel, Jimmy Spicer, Kurtis Blow, Master Jay, Phase II, Spoonie Gee, The Disco Four, The Treacherous Three, Warp 9, Lady B and other lost treasures...and, as an evidence, the fabulous SUGAR HILL records back catalogue is also programmed on our waves.

To relive the genesis of Hip-Hop culture watch The Get Down SERIES sur Netflix.

The MasterFunk Familly is a concept that dates back to the early 1980s (in local area NANCY), and the emergence of free radio in France. MasterFfunk was originally a radio program hosted by Mike Mini, which came back from the ashes thanks to BMC on the air as internet program since 2015 .

MasterFunk is also a collective that gravitates in the musical world , including through the International Music Academy of Nancy, but also in art and Hip-Hop culture .

BMC aims to discover through the programmed titles, majors artists and Funk groups discography, but also to highlight those lesser-known artists, for which we believe it' s time to give them spotlight, and show respect for their contributions. A work of sound memory, in a way.

Per exemple, we already highlighted the discographies of: Cameo, Bohannon, Foxy, The Reddings, Larry Graham, ... Prince

Go-Go is a specific sub-musical FUNK gender, very percussive and limited to the area of Washington D.C. Go-Go music is traditionnaly played live, in public.

If you love bass, percussion, repetitive rhythms, congos, timbales/roto-toms, drums, cowbell, keyboards, bass and lead guitar and enchanting chorus...well, that is Gogo music: stay on BMC , and hear the artists of this historical musical movement such as Chuck Brown, Trouble Funk, Experience Unilimited, Mass Extension, but also Northeast Groovers, Optymistic Tribe, Rare Essence...and many of the local scene in Washington

With Gogo, the music beat never stops but keeps going on and on.

"Thanks God it's Friday!",.. as in the heyday of early Disco days in 1975 , it's time to go to the " Boogie Palace" and to have a damned good time dancing.

On Saturday we offer you to listen to more dance oriented tracks, playing some very rare pieces frop our collection that we usually classify on our part as "Obscure Disco" or " Disco unlikely" styles, plus also titles from the early 1973/1974 years which at the time were not stamped Disco but witch finally are an evolution of funk.

ON week-ends: It's "Party Time"on BMC radio!

BMC also highlights the back catalogs of the most iconic Funk and Groove-Funk record labels from New York City and from the U.S. These records co. have been the most influential in funk history.

So be happy, you can listen to them now, and find back titles from the catalogs that became essentials thru the decades such as SALSOUL, PRELUDE, WEST-END, SOLAR, TABU and of course MOTOWN and PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL.

Since the start of the 2017 academic year, we thought that including in our program the best of African funk and soul was an evidence. Finally few know it, but African continent, and more particularly certain countries such as Nigeria and Ghana have seen the birth of recordings worthy of the greatest soul and funk grooves .

Listen regularly to our "African Funk" sequences, find back Steve BLACK, The FUNKEES, BLO, Joe KEMPFA, Geraldo PINO and get back the origins of black music, get back to MOTHER AFRICA. You might be surprised. This is a BMC-EXCLUSIVITY, and we are proud of it ...

Imagine a movie about the history of the group CAMEO ? His training through his first recordings, signing the contract with a major and his first concerts ? A short film about the history of the ... FUNK and CAMEO .

Well , this is the ICEMOSIS project, initiated by Nate C. Williams, and we fervently hope that it will succeed. Therefore, here we support him for years. You can according to our programming hear three tracks recorded by the fictional band, but actually composed and performed by none other than Tomi Jenkins himself !!!
