Gritty, high-voltage funk fused with syncopated broken beats and deep soulful vocals. It is cyborg soul for late-night basement floors and urban exploration.
Milez Benjiman sounds like the future of 1970s funk if it were rebuilt in a London basement during the height of the broken beat movement. It is a thick, muscular sound defined by 'electric crunch' and a heavy, sliding bass presence that feels both mechanical and deeply human. The music carries a weight that is rare in modern soul, opting for a gritty, analog warmth that prioritizes the 'stomp' over polished perfection.
What makes this project distinctive is the collaboration between Gerd, Delgui, and Colonel Red, which results in a 'cyborg funk' aesthetic. They manage to blend conscious, socially-aware lyricism with a raw, sexual energy that never feels forced. The rhythms are complex and syncopated, often sitting in that sweet spot between mid-tempo grooves and high-energy dancefloor fillers, characterized by a unique 'dubsta' vibration that anchors the more melodic elements.
Start with the album 'Feel Glorious' to experience the full breadth of their vision. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who loves the grit of P-Funk but wants the sophisticated rhythmic structures of nu jazz and electronica. It is music designed to be felt in the chest as much as the head.
