FluxFM B-Funk is a Berlin streaming channel billed as "Finest Funk, Soul and Disco," curated by FluxFM and built around classics from Marvin Gaye, The Meters, and Aretha Franklin through to Prince, Mayer Hawthorne, and Sharon Jones. It is designed to work as both dancefloor fuel and background listening, with the station's own pitch inviting listeners to put on their dance shoes and practice their best moves.
One Channel Inside an Award-Winning Network
B-Funk sits inside FluxFM, a Berlin station founded roughly 15 years ago by Mona Rübsamen and Markus Kühn under the original name Motor FM before rebranding to FluxFM in 2011. The name comes from the Latin "fluxus," meaning flow, a nod to the station's identity built on constant change rather than a fixed format. That approach has earned real recognition: FluxFM won the German Radio Prize in both 2014 and 2018, took home an ECHO award in 2013 for artist development, and was named Best Radio Station Worldwide in 2014.
Berlin, "As Colorful As" Its Radio
FluxFM describes itself with the slogan "Radio so bunt wie Berlin," radio as colorful as Berlin, and builds its main broadcast around culture, politics, sustainability, and club culture alongside music, a mix that reflects the city's own reputation for restless reinvention. B-Funk is one piece of a much larger offering: the FluxMusic app carries 30 separate channels running commercial-free around the clock, letting the station split genres as specifically as funk and soul rather than folding them into a single eclectic stream.
Why Tune In
FluxFM B-Funk offers a tightly curated run of funk and soul standards from a network with a genuine track record of industry recognition, built for anyone who wants classic grooves without wading through a broader alternative or electronic playlist to find them. For fans of the genre, it is a focused, well-chosen entry point into Berlin's larger FluxFM universe.
