BLACK MUSIC COLLECTORS has been broadcasting since 2009
on the web. All the titles played, come from our own
collections of vinyls and are ripped on digital support
and then remastered. Well, we used to call the musical base
of the radio, the "Jurassic Funk" musicial base, because
already more than 20,000 titles are already in rotation
here! And it's not over...
The radio broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without
interruption. We have not established an broadcasting
schedule. So you will hear on the airwaves, a non-stop show
subtly mixing the different musical FUNK genres. We focus on
the titles selection, their programming their sound quality.
Ready for a FUNKTASTIC music experience? Do not search
anymore. The creme of FUNK is here and nowhere else. Listen,
enjoy, share, come back, talk about it! ...

"Old school" rap is the ancestor of modern
rap and hip-hop. It all begun back in the days in
1978, and we invite you to (re) discover most of
those classics of that period (1978 to 1984),
but also to listen to many unknown Rap tracks,
that were too difficult to purchase at that
time.
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 !!!

Back in time ... In fact we all met around 1980, through our growing passion ... FUNK music. We all three also participated in the birth of several French "Pirate" free radios in the area of Nancy in the 1980s (Vitamin '101, Agora Fm, to name a few...), and it is also there that the fell of Mike for FM radio was born. He then worked for the national french NRJ Group in Nancy for more than 15 years.
Bernard, originally officiated as a D.J. in a well known club in NANCY (Le Kent) and has been for a long time in the circle of record stores, independent (Orpheus Music) or as a collaborator around the grand Est area (Le Hall Du Livre, Nuggets Nancy).
As for Laurent, although professionally he moved toward a complete different horizon, his musical passion has always been there and exponential. It was the start of collecting vinyls with fury !
So when in 2008, a belgium start-up, based in Brussels, launched its project, we immediately contacted them and submited the project of our BMC radio. BMC radio was one of the first radio to be accepted on that platform, and the adventure started. Since, we have occured changes, we have evolved, change our streaming provider, but we are proud to share all these funky grooves all thru the world thanks to our radio, and for free and without any advertising on air.
Our stream is broadcasted via Toronto Cast based servers in CANADA, and so is legaly covered by authors copyrights thru SOCAN

programming comes from songs recorded in the United
States . But this is not our only source of
inspiration. We also broadcast artists from England,
France , Germany, or from Africa, because FUNK is

However, if you want to ask us a title to include in
