@itamar_weinstein@jjwhitefield – Sitar Slam / Phin Phun
(@funknight 2025)
Itamar comes through with a 45 that is equal parts global exploration and straight-up funk fire. Sitar Slam is pure percussive energy — layered rhythms driving a groove that feels alive and urgent. It’s the kind of track that makes the room shift, pushing people onto the floor with its undeniable pulse. There’s a joyful chaos to it, like street rhythms colliding with heavy funk in the best possible way.
On the flip, Phin Phun takes things into deeper territory. Hypnotic melodies twist over the groove, creating a psychedelic trance-like effect that pulls you further in with every bar. It’s adventurous but still accessible — a record that stands out in any set. This one shows Funk Night’s commitment to broadening the funk vocabulary while staying true to the roots.
