Brooklyn artist Charlie Funk has been a longtime writer at Tomás Doncker’s True Groove Records, an NYC “global soul” label that features a hefty roster of like-minded musicians who often collaborate on one another’s projects. Funk is the newest to hit the True Groove studio and release a record of his own.

Funk’s name paired with the title of his debut, Give Me A Groove, should offer some kind of idea of what to expect from the effort, and if it’s groovy funk you’re looking for, Charlie and his collaborators are delivering it in spades. Produced by the aforementioned Doncker, who also plays on the album, Give Me A Groove also features several other True Groove All-Stars and former Parliament-Funkadelic all-stars as well, including Michael “Kidd Funkadelic” Hampton and Amp Fiddler.

You can stream Funk’s grooving debut EP in its six-track entirety below. Keep up with the True Groove family through their website.
