Funk
Funk is a music genre that originated in African American communities in the mid-1960s when musicians created a rhythmic, danceable new form of music through a mixture of various music genres that were popular among African Americans in the mid-20th century. It de-emphasizes melody and chord progressions and focuses on a strong rhythmic groove of a bassline played by an electric bassist and a drum part played by a percussionist, often at slower tempos than other popular music. Funk typically consists of a complex percussive groove with rhythm instruments playing interlocking grooves that create a "hypnotic" and "danceable" feel.

Ninja Tune
Ninja Tune is an English independent record label based in London. It has a satellite office in Los Angeles.

T Power
T Power (born Marc Royal) is an English drum and bass producer from Bow, London. Originally starting his production career in the UK hardcore scene, he moved into jungle. He was signed to drum and bass/jungle record label Botchit and Scarper. Wanting to avoid the increasing politics within the scene, he began to produce experimental drum and bass, culminating in the album, ''The Self Evident Truth of an Intuitive Mind''. Following from this, came the next album ''Waveform''. Less accessible, it carried his experimental tracks further into the left field. Partnering with Shy FX, he released the album ''Long Time Dead'', which featured vocals and electric violin by Ysanne Spevack and also started a record label named Digital Soundboy. T Power was half of the band Chocolate Weasel Chocolate Weasel is a funk and hip-hop duo made up of T Power and Chris Stevens.
