Born from the heart of Knoxville, Tennessee, Funk Motion took shape in 1985, when five high school friends turned their love for rhythm into a movement. They weren’t just making music—they were creating an unstoppable groove, a sound that swept through roller-skating rinks and kept crowds moving long after the last song played.

Bell-Bottom Stride (Vintage Funk) reimagines a lyrical time capsule as a strutting, horn-laced groove straight out of 1973. Channeling the swagger of Curtis Mayfield and the streetwise poetry of Gil Scott-Heron, this version blends classic funk textures with a vocal that’s half sermon, half smirk. It’s a love letter to Blaxploitation cinema, underground pride, and the sacred ritual of walking tall—if only for 90 minutes in a darkened theater.

Bell-Bottom Stride (Vintage Funk)

It’s all sweat, brass, and swagger on this corner. Each track struts with crooked rhythm—shouted from rooftops, stomped into sidewalk cracks, and wired with something too loud to stay polite. The bells don’t wait, the horns don’t ask. This is street sound with shoes scuffed and voices raised, born to move bodies and bend the night.
