Huey Morgan (BBC 6music / The Fun Lovin' Criminal)

As the whisky soaked Lower East Side voice of 6 Music and Radio 2, Huey Morgan is the man who joins the dots between funk, soul, disco, classic hip hop and rock’n’roll.

As a broadcaster, he’s the man who tells laugh-out-loud stories and talks to the listener as if pulled up on a bar stool next to them. As a musician, he’s the frontman of legendary 90s outfit Fun Lovin’ Criminals, a funk-fried indie outfit that broke big worldwide selling over 10 million records, recently celebrating their 20th anniversary.

Now after countless DJ gigs across the globe, he’s focused his DJ talent on his NYC Block Party, the musical equivalent of the cosmic Big Bang, disco, hip hop and funk collided in an almighty collision in late 70s New York, with call and response choruses sat astride Get Down breaks and fast’n’furious hip hop mixing. It was a truly magical moment, and one that Huey captures perfectly with his funk-loving NYC Block Party.

From Chic to Donna Summer and Kool and the Gang to James Brown via Grandmaster Flash and The Jackson 5 and more recent flavours like Jurassic 5, Cypress Hill and Michael Kiwanuka, Huey’s NYC Block Party is the sound of funk, soul, disco and hip hop jams battling it out on the dancefloor, a riotous celebration of the Good Times.

As The Sugar Hill Gang might have said: ‘Huey will make you throw your hands up in the air like you just don’t care.’

Yet another creative outlet for Britain’s favourite New York cousin.
