The Fusion Reactor #113 - The Funky Reactor, part 1

That's right! It's going to be a two-part series! Maybe even three! I can't promise that next week will be part two, but it's coming up, don't worry. This show is just scratching the surface on the use of funk in fusion. It's a bunch of "logical" choices, pretty much stuff you'd expect from a show like this one. Nevertheless, your funk will be shaken and your groove will be swung. Be forewarned. The Playlist:
