The 17-track album, which spans funk, rock, disco, techno and house edits, includes reimaginings from Detroit legends Moodymann (as well as his Kenny Dixon Jr. alias), Amp Fiddler, and Underground Resistance, amongst others.

Highlights include Anthony “Shake” Shakir and T Dancer giving ‘Standing on the Verge’ a touch of techno grit, while Gay Marvine puts his boogie-filled, magic dance floor touch on ‘Undisco Kidd’.

There were a selection of legendary Detroit producers who didn’t make the cut though, “Theo Parrish, Carl Craig and Wajeed all worked on remixes but felt their mixes just didn’t hold up to Funkadelic’s legacy – that is truly a rare kind of respect, and shows you just how much this music still means in Detroit,” says album curator Brendan M. Gillen, of Interdimensional Transmissions.
