Featured Tune: "Unveil" from Funkeestas
reviews
A Descent into Groove and Shadow
With Unveil, Funkeestas step boldly into their own twilight zone—where funk snarls, guitars smolder, and rhythm itself feels like it’s hiding something dangerous. The track is a dark, cinematic plunge into the band’s evolving “cosmic-funk” universe, and it shows a group that’s not afraid to let the groove get gritty.
From the first pulse, Unveil builds a tense, hypnotic energy. Marcus’s guitar cuts through like a streak of lightning across Fuse’s dense, sinuous bassline, while Dirtwurx keeps the ground trembling beneath it all. Sleepyhead’s vocals thread between menace and mystique, guiding the listener through this storm of sound with unhurried authority. Every element feels deliberate—layered, immersive, a touch feral.
There’s a kind of apocalyptic swagger to the track, as if Funk itself were rebelling against the light. Yet amid the darkness, you can hear the band’s deep respect for rhythm—the same pulse that powered their earlier releases like Funkery of the Warlocks and Gremlins of Funk. Unveil completes that trilogy not as a finale, but as an evolution.
This is Funkeestas at their most raw and magnetic—a sound that feels ancient and futuristic at once. Unveil isn’t just heard; it’s felt. It seeps under the skin, demanding that you move, even when the world feels like it’s falling apart.
