High-energy funk that bridges the gap between vintage soul and modern dance floors. Warm harmonies and deep grooves for people who want to dance with abandon.
The Pimps of Joytime sound like a block party where the DJ only plays rare 70s vinyl but the sound system is tuned for a modern club. It is a vibrant, technicolor explosion of rhythm that feels both lived-in and futuristic. The music carries the grit of Brooklyn streets and the celebratory swing of New Orleans, resulting in a sound that is impossible to sit still to.
What truly sets them apart is the 'three-part harmony attack.' While many funk bands focus purely on the pocket, Brian J and his vocalists weave intricate, doo-wop-inspired layers over heavy percussion and bluesy guitar licks. This vocal sophistication gives the music a melodic heart that matches its rhythmic muscle, creating a 'post-genre' tapestry where EDM beats and organic soul live in perfect harmony.
Start with 'Jukestone Paradise' to hear their most cohesive studio statement. It captures the band's ability to morph from a deep, swampy blues groove into a full-on dance anthem without losing their soulful identity. It is the definitive soundtrack for anyone who finds modern electronic music too cold and traditional soul too static.
Pimps of Joytime is an American soul music band from Brooklyn and New Orleans. In May 2017 they performed at the 9th annual Rooster Walk Music and Arts Festival in Martinsville, Virginia.
