“we come in Pez” by Galactic Funk

Galactic Funk is a norwegian, experimental Funk-collective, composed of Tormod Leithe and Petter Aagaard. Based in Galactic Park Studios, Melhus, Norway – just a few miles away from Hessdalen, where there have been more UFO-sightings than anywhere else in the world. Their sound is a distinctive brand of stripped-down electronic Funk with a psychedelic space-influence. The duo is highly inspired by the P-Funk afronauts of the 70’s, the purple freaks of the 80’s and the groundbreaking breakdance of the future.

In other words, their mission here on Earth is to deliver a fresh, vintage-sounding Funk, but they do not look at themself as a «movement» or «nostalgic». Galactic Funk is a spiritual necessity.
