Groove Helmsman 

Groove Helmsman is nu-disco, French house, disco house and deep house for low-light listening. String disco and french touch grooves with filtered basslines, warm Rhodes and Wurlitzer, and intimate close-mic female vocals. Two-hour after-hours sets, smooth and restrained, never hype. Roots in modern funk and club soul.

MODERN FUNK Vol. 20 | Tunnel Light is up. An hour of dark, bass-forward funk for driving after midnight: tunnels, sodium lights, empty interchanges, and the pull of the road at 3am. This is the last one in the MODERN FUNK run, and the Friday sets keep going and go deeper from here. One question for anyone who plays these while driving: which stretch of road does this one put you on?

MODERN FUNK Vol. 19 | Wet Neon is up on the channel. Deep funk, nu-disco and dark Rhodes for a rainy night: wet streets, neon on the glass, and one unbroken groove that holds the mood from the first drop to the last. Best with headphones and low light. Which track holds you the longest in the rain?

MODERN FUNK Vol. 18 | Amber Drift is up on the channel. Smooth funk and nu-disco for a warm summer dusk: open windows, a slow drive, and the golden hour stretching into night. Best with headphones and low light. Which track holds you the longest? The poll is still open, tell me which mood the next set should chase.

From now on a new set lands every Friday at 12:00 UTC. Low light, headphones, and a couple of hours of modern funk and nu-disco to slow the night down. Turn on the bell if you want each one the minute it drops.
