Lenny Kravitz \u2013 \u201cIt Ain\u2019t Over \u2019Til It\u2019s Over\u201d delivers a masterclass in retro-funk construction, followed by Marvin Gaye \u2013 \u201cGot to Give It Up\u201d, where the infamous bassline and percussion groove capture the essence of late-night dancefloor improvisation and the birth of modern groove culture.\r\n\r\nThe funk intensifies with The Gap Band \u2013 \u201cBurn Rubber\u201d, a synth-driven early-80s electro-funk statement, before sliding into the smoother, minimal perfection of \u201cOutstanding\u201d, where space becomes the instrument and the bassline does more with less than almost any record of its era.\r\n\r\nThe journey shifts into 90s pop-funk and dance crossover energy with Michael Jackson \u2013 \u201cDon\u2019t Stop \u2019Til You Get Enough\u201d, a track that bridges disco and modern pop with one of the most influential basslines in recorded music.\r\n\r\nFrom classic to contemporary, Cody Currie ft. MiK \u2013 \u201cCash\u201d brings the jazz-house revival into focus, echoing vintage disco without directly sampling it, showing how modern producers are now playing the past rather than lifting it.\r\n\r\nThe episode then moves into the DNA of hip-hop sampling culture with De La Soul \u2013 \u201cRing Ring Ring\u201d, where layered funk and R&B records are rebuilt into something entirely new, followed by Naughty by Nature \u2013 \u201cHip Hop Hooray\u201d, where soulful bass textures underpin one of hip-hop\u2019s most enduring crowd anthems.\r\n\r\nWe return to pure musicianship with George Benson \u2013 \u201cGive Me the Night\u201d, a Quincy Jones-produced masterpiece where Louis Johnson\u2019s bass anchors a flawless fusion of jazz, disco and R&B sophistication.\r\n\r\nClosing the main journey, Ella Candeu \u2013 \u201cJust Pretty\u201d brings a modern banging bassline 303 palette, before the episode locks into the underground with Bass Arch DNB \u2013 \u201cRootsline Roll\u201d, a breakbeat-driven finale that connects funk heritage to modern drum & bass pressure.\r\n\r\nEpisode 17 is ultimately a study in continuity: how basslines evolve but never disappear. From live funk bands to synth-funk pioneers, from hip-hop sample collage to jazz-house reinterpretation, the low end remains the thread that ties every era together\u2014always moving, always shaping the dancefloor.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/img.hearthis.at\/9\/4\/2\/_\/uploads\/1482046\/image_track\/14460417\/w1200_h628_q70_ptrue_v2_m1780695703----cropped_1780695688249.jpg?m=1780695703","thumbnail_width":1200,"thumbnail_height":628,"html":"
