Funk the Planet

Funk the Planet is an online radio station based in Santa Barbara, California, devoted to classic and modern funk, soul, and groove in all its forms. The station blends deep funk, new funk, soul, jazz-funk, Minneapolis sound, New Jack Swing, boogie, and select hip-hop with real funk DNA.

Programmed by veteran funk and soul DJ Vince Leo, Funk the Planet goes beyond the usual overplayed hits to spotlight overlooked classics, fresh discoveries, and artists keeping the groove alive today. Whether you come for Parliament-Funkadelic, Prince, The Gap Band, and Zapp, or for newer artists carrying that spirit forward, the mission is the same: great music, real personality, and a station built for long, rewarding listens.
