About Funk the Planet

Streaming from sunny Santa Barbara, Funk the Planet is an independent radio station that promotes all the best and popular funk music 24/7. Run by veteran DJ Vince Leo, it’s a passion project dedicated to five decades of rhythm.
Instead of just playing the hits, the station takes you on a journey from 1970s legends like James Brown to modern nu-funk and neo-soul. It’s like a masterclass in “the funk,” blending heavy basslines and brass in a way that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Whether you’re a dedicated or a new listener, it’s the ultimate soulful funk music escape.
