Back to Funk boasts a massive on-air history of over 20 years. During its long history the show has made an important contribution to the Sydney Dance Music community, and was in fact the first dance music program to appear in the 2SER Monday - Friday Afternoon timeslot. Originally named From Punk to Funk, John Potts created the show for 2SER around 1980. The show began as a music history show, and each week was dedicated to a different genre of music. Brent Cluss joined the show in the early 80's and was soon after joined by Heidi Pasqual (Creative Vibes). The show continued through the 80's and became Back to Funk around the late 80s / early 90's. Fellow label mates from Creative Vibes joined Heidi in the early 90's - firstly Peter Pasqual (1991), then Gordon Henderson (around 1993).
Back to Funk reached a wide and diverse audience in Sydney, and would feature many styles of music. High profile guests on the show have included George Clinton (1992), Kool Bell (Kool & the Gang), Charlie Wilson (Gap Band), and in 1988 Back to Funk featured the only Australian interview with James Brown's Band. Heidi, Peter & Gordon continued the show successfully until 2004, when the show was then handed onto Meem. The show continued for a further 18 months until travel commitments forced the long-running program to end. Upon returning to Sydney, Meem resurrected the Show in December 2007.
Back to Funk now broadcasts every Monday from 12:00 – 1:30pm. Each week Meem resurfaces old funk, disco and boogie gems while also exploring a diverse range of all other related styles including Afrobeat, Hip Hop, Funky Reggae, Soul Jazz and more.
