The Back To Funk Radio Show has a history of around 30 years, making it one of Sydney’s longest running radio shows. Not only has the show been a long-time fixture on Sydneys airwaves, but over the years fans have also been treated to rare interviews with funk heavyweights such as 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. Recent guests include Fred Wesley, Mr Scruff, Jamie Liddell, and Lance Ferguson from The Bamboos.
The History - Back to Funk boasts a massive on-air history of around 30 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, it was John Potts who 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. 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, and so it continues on to this day - now in its 30th year!
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. Tune in Every Monday for interviews, new releases, and a huge array of forgotten funky masterpieces.
