Funk, Soul & Raregroove Background Music

Funk, Soul & Raregroove Background Music offers a groovy, rhythmic, and sophisticated blend of styles rooted in African-American music of the 1960s and 70s.¹

• Soul provides the emotional depth, smooth vocals, and gospel influences.
• Funk contributes the infectious, strong rhythmic focus (often on the “one”), prominent syncopated basslines, and brass instrumentation, creating an intense, danceable “groove.”²

   

• Raregroove is a term for the movement of finding and playing obscure, hard-to-source funk, soul, jazz-funk, and disco tracks, often prized for their deep, sample-worthy grooves.³

   

This genre is perfect for creating a lively, cool, and subtly nostalgic atmosphere.
