Everybody knows disco. Everybody knows funk. But most people have never heard of the genre that quietly emerged after Disco Demolition Night and helped shape the sound of the nineteen eighties.

In this Music Mindset documentary, Mister Mindset takes you back to July twelfth nineteen seventy nine, when Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park symbolized the collapse of disco in the eyes of the mainstream. But while major labels were running away from dance music, something new was being built underground.

That sound became known as Boogie Funk.

From pioneers like Leroy Burgess, Kashif, Hubert Eaves the Third, James D Train Williams, and Roger Troutman, to influential labels like Prelude Records, Salsoul Records, West End Records, and Solar Records, this video explores how boogie funk became the bridge between seventies funk and the electronic future of R&B, hip hop, house music, freestyle, electro, and G Funk.

If you've ever wondered what happened after disco faded, why songs by Kashif, D Train, Evelyn Champagne King, Mtume, The Whispers, Zapp, and Midnight Star sounded so futuristic, or where modern artists like Bruno Mars and Daft Punk got some of their inspiration, this is the story.

What is Boogie Funk?

Let's find out.
