Funk is the personal favorite of many music lovers. In this panoramic history of the grooviest of genres, we hear track after track of absolute boogie-down classics. Everything from Sly and the Family Stone to James Brown, with a few stops to hear legends like the Meters, Kool and the Gang, and Parliament. We’ll also hear the great Bobby Byrd explain the rhythmic motor behind the JB’s, and Georges Clinton talk about the roots of his funk.

Pregame Vol 14 Disco Mix 2025

Any Place You Go – Une explosion de groove et de feeling !

Porté par une chanteuse à la voix chaude et puissante, empreinte d’influences afro-américaines, ce titre fait vibrer les corps et les cœurs sur un tempo mid-groove de 110 BPM.

Avec 7 musiciens sur scène, le groupe déploie une énergie communicative :
🥁 Une section rythmique au groove redoutable,
🎺 Une section de cuivres affûtée et inspirée,
🔥 Le tout au service d’un morceau funk et soul, aussi élégant que dansant.

Fermez les yeux, laissez-vous emporter… "Any Place You Go" est une invitation au voyage musical, entre clubs enfumés et dancefloors en feu.

 Any Place You Go – A burst of groove and soul!

Driven by a powerful, soulful lead vocalist with rich Afro-American influences, this track hits that sweet mid-tempo funk at 110 BPM, made for both heart and hips.

With 7 musicians bringing the fire, the band delivers:
🥁 A tight, high-level rhythm section,
🎺 A bold and talented horn section,
🔥 All wrapped in a sound that blends funk and soul with style and swagger.

Close your eyes and let the rhythm take you—"Any Place You Go" is a journey through smoky clubs and packed dance floors.

Restless Awakenings

Dancin'inside your ewyes

Dancin' inside your eyes

one of the first dope beats i made. found this one from 2014. sampled Summer Madness by Kool and the Gang. Wild thing about this beat is that I actually had to remake this whole beat again after the first computer i made it on crashed. I was so bummed out I had to remake it, but I did it anyway because I was so proud of the beat and I just learned how to cut samples in FL so I re made it. From what I remember it was slightly different than the first beat I made and that kinda pissed me off at the time because I wanted it to be exactly as the original one that was lost. In the end i liked the beat a lot. Listening back at this now, it's imperfections, they feel so nostalgic. Takes me back

Das bin ich: Ronny alias DJ Ronson.

Ich mache schon Musik seit meinem Jugendalter. Seit 2022 bin ich nebenberuflich als DJ unterwegs. Ich liebe Musik und das Mixen und bin glücklich mein Hobby zum Nebenberuf gemacht zu haben! 

Buchungen sind telefonisch und per E-Mail möglich. Nach Eckdaten und Abstimmung über Licht und Anlage erfolgt ein Angebot und wir stimmen für das Event die Einzelheiten hinsichtlich Musik ab. Die Kontaktdaten sind in meiner online Visitenkarte: https://qrco.de/bdogT3

Zu meinen Reverenzen zählt neben Geburtstagen u.a. auch Mr. Max Foodtruck Festival. Hier habe ich auch bereits auf dem Maschseefest Hannover aufgelegt. Gerne kann sich ein Eindruck auf Instagram verschafft werden. Rezensionen zu Events, bei denen ich Musik aufgelegt habe, sind auf Google zu finden. 

Ich freue mich auf Geburtstage, Hochzeiten, Großveranstaltungen und vieles mehr, um dort gemeinsam die Party steigen zu lassen.

I write the songs that make the whole world cringe.

Awakening Project – A Love Letter to Timeless Music

"If they don't make the music I love anymore, I'll make it myself."

Welcome to "Awakening"

This project is the sound of that promise kept. I am an independent artist driven by a deep passion for the melodies and soul that defined the iconic music of the 70s and 80s—a sound that feels increasingly rare in today's broadcasting.

"Awakening Project" is my personal journey to recapture that feeling. I write, play, and produce music inspired by the rich textures of pop, soul, funk, and rock, blending them into a sound that is both nostalgic and uniquely personal. These are the genres that wrote the soundtrack to my life.

This project is also a collaboration. It connects me with talented local musicians and artists from around the world, all united by a shared love for authentic, heartfelt music.

A Quick Note on My Process:
While I embrace modern tools and sometimes leverage AI to assist in the technical aspects of production, I firmly believe that without the essential human element—the heart, the soul, the lived experience—the technology is meaningless. The core of every song—the melody, the lyrics, the emotion—comes from a very real place within.

So, sit back and listen. This is more than just music; it's an awakening. I hope you enjoy it.
