about

Afrofuturism is Sun Ra meets Dr. Funkenstein in a P-Funk inspired groovaliscious stew in this universal groove mix by Mike Meurin. This sexy midtempo track makes your whole-body bounce while taking you on an intergalactic trip in space and time. A throw back and nod to the rhythmic and sonic tapestry makers and influencers of the 70s Funk and Jazz era! Mike Meurin created a delicious loop from one of our tracks that inspired me to shout out and sing praises in homage to the Afrofuturist who’s shoulders I stand on.

lyrics

Afrofuturism (radio edit)
by Michael Wimberly – remix by Mike Meurin 4:30

We’re moving through space
We’re moving through space
We’re moving through space
We’re moving through time
Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind

We’re moving through space
We’re moving through time
Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind

Universal Groove Everybody Move
Get out on the dance floor chase away your blues
Turn to your honey Turn to your g’
Tell’em that you luv’em Tell’em that you see
A Universal Groove flowin’ through their mind
The rhythm is euphoric - The rhythm is divine
We’re in the universe - The rhythm is unrehearsed
Check it out Check it out What’s the next verse

Afrofuturism, Afrofuturism
Afrofuturism Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind
We’re moving through time
Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind

We’re moving through space We’re moving through time
Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind

You’re on the spaceship earth
And you’re outward bound
Destination unknown Destination unknown (Sun Ra)
You’re on the spaceship earth
And you’re outward bound
Destination unknown (Sun Ra) Destination unknown (Sun Ra)
And you haven’t met the captain of the spaceship yet
Where’s he at now... I just saw him... Sun Ra
And you haven’t met the captain of the spaceship yet
Get on board yeah yeah - interplanetary...

It’s the power of love
Afrofuturism
It’s the power of love
Afrofuturism

It’s the power of love
Afrofuturism
It’s the power of love
Afrofuturism
(trumpet solo)

Africa, take me back, take me back to the rhythm of the drum (Africa) C’mon, Moving through time
Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind - Say we’re moving
We’re moving through space we’re moving through time
Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind

We’re moving through time Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind
We’re moving through space
We’re moving through time Afrofuturism is the groove on my mind
Time and Space
Space and Time
Groove on my mind - Going through my mind It’s the power the power of love
