Speak Low

Speak Low delivers a masterclass in the 'heavy funk' aesthetic, centered around the growling, percussive textures of the Hammond B3 organ. Their sound is deeply rooted in the analog warmth of the late 60s and early 70s, prioritizing a live, 'in-the-room' feel that captures every drum crack and organ swell. It is music that moves with a swaggering, urban intensity, blending the sophistication of jazz with the raw, unadulterated power of a soul revue.

What sets them apart is their commitment to the 'deep funk' revival movement, eschewing modern digital polish for a sound that feels authentically vintage yet dangerously immediate. The interplay between the syncopated, breakbeat-style drumming and the swirling organ leads creates a rhythmic tension that never quite lets up. It is the sound of a band that knows exactly how to lock into a groove and ride it until the wheels come off.

Start with the album 'Hands Up!' to experience their peak energy. It is the perfect introduction to their blend of mod-jazz cool and dancefloor-ready funk. Whether you are a crate-digger looking for that perfect break or just someone who needs a soundtrack for a high-energy night, this is the starting point.
