Featured in WYGYFF Episode 20: Australian funk singer, composer and producer Traffik, who leads a four-member band of the same name. The group’s recently released album, “The Signs,” is a powerful mix of funk and rock that was 10 years in the making. Traff has also paired up with guitarist/engineer Simon Russell as the duo Eddie Metal, kicking off a series of instrumental recordings. Both are flying under the new Funkoditionalove independent record label banner.
He talks about those projects as well as his profound experiences with George Clinton and members of Parliament-Funkadelic. They inspired him to rename Melbourne as Smellbourne. Dig this tale of finding the funk Down Under. Check out his documentary here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P70juildJwY&list=WL&index=9&t=4s&ab_channel=funkonditionalove.
RECORDED FEBRUARY 2025
Hosted by Scott "DR GX" Goldfine — musicologist, author of “Everything Is on the One: The First Guide of Funk” and creator/host of the popular TRUTH IN RHYTHM podcast — "Where'd You Get Your Funk From?" is the latest interview show brought to you by FUNKNSTUFF.NET. Where’d You Get Your Funk From (WYGYFF) is an open format video and audio podcast focusing on the here and now, with a broad range of creative and artistic guests sharing fascinating stories, experiences, and perspectives.
WYGYFF is a welcoming avenue to newer and independent musical acts as well as established and still active musicians of any genre; authors; filmmakers; actors; artists; collectors and archivists; radio & podcast personalities; journalists; scholars; sound techs; promoters; photographers; and other creative people. A common thread, is the show's standard opening question: Where’d you get your funk from?
This is much deeper than it may seem as the answer need not be strictly about funky music, as not everyone has found the funk. It could hit on whatever type of music touches their soul or pleasure centers. Additionally, the question extends beyond music. Paraphrasing George Clinton, funk is whatever it needs to be to get you over the hump. Thus, guests can explain where they got their grit, perseverance, inspiration, talent, creativity, character or other qualities that shaped them into who they are today. This serves as a springboard into candid, in-depth and engrossing conversations.
