Gilbert Le Funk doing his own thing!
It’s a Thursday – Post day for Veryfunkyrecords.com.
I was very lucky then to discover Gilbert Le Funk’s ‘Bay Breeze’. This track has an orchestral epic sound that really has ephemeral stokes of genius – I believe I Just found my favorite track of May so far – expect this on the radio show. I didn’t realise however that is was released last year.

The French man is a genius, Gilbert Le Funk has created a sound all of his own –
Gilbert Le Funk
When I first discovered ‘Le Funk’ I was truly excited by his name alone, and listened intently to one of his creations. At first I was a little disappointed his name painted pictures of pure dance with disco tinges and hark’s back in time to MFSB, Giorgio Moroder, James Brown!
“Yes come on this track is gonna be massive I can feel it………Oooh, ooh right well that’s not what I expected.” Brain speak aside and with hind site, age, experience I can see the vista more clearly. He has created his own unique sound his is a true artist.
I think I would like to describe it as – D’l-Ectro Funk.- “Progressive Disco Electro Funk”. D’L-Ectro Funk. Remember that name. Like when Stuart Marconnie wrote in N.M.E the Iconic words ‘Britt Pop’ to describe the era with much focus on OASIS and Blur’s rivalry, Pulp and all the rest.
OK, reality check. D’l-Ectro Funk or not my point is that this guy has developed a sound and used it as a traceable narrative through the majority of his music. It doesn’t matter if it’s Bay Breeze from 2012 or any other Gilbert Le Funk track his subtle sound is a lesson to all aspiring dance music producers including me. Reality check No 2 progressive deep house is doing the rounds in the charts, Duke Dumont’s tracks is massive and if you haven’t seen the Hitler finds out about Deep House video where have you been? BTW if you speak German that video makes no sense.
