Known in various spheres for his ability to make dance floors literally bounce from mobbing crowds, Nashville’s Wick-It The Instigator is at it once again with his new track, “Funk Hammer.” Not only is he one of the most talented DJ, producer and mash-up minds of the last century, but Wick-It has been creating and surpassing genre boundaries before there were even given titles.
His skills are apparent in this fresh original that shows a different side of Andrew Owsley than we are used to seeing, weaving smooth guitar riffs into an electro-funky groove—all while sticking to his signature style, full of gritty bass and relentless energy. A catchy horn section assists in making “Funk Hammer” one of Wick-It’s most interesting songs to date that will leave you wondering, just as it did us: What can he possible come up with next?
