Planet Funk

The Profile

Planet Funk are an Italian electronic collective born from the union of DJ/producers Alex Neri and Marco Baroni with Naples producers Souled Out!, blending dance, pop and trip‑hop elements. They are known for rotating vocalists (Dan Black, John Graham, Alex Uhlmann) and internationally recognized tracks such as Chase the Sun.

Italian electronic group formed from Alex Neri and Marco Baroni’s collaboration with Souled Out!; active since the late 1990s; known for the hit Chase the Sun and albums Non Zero Sumness, The Illogical Consequence, Static, and The Great Shake; vocalists have included Dan Black, John Graham, and Alex Uhlmann.

Reviews portray Planet Funk as an Italian electronic collective balancing pop hooks, dance-floor drive, and moody synth craft. Non Zero Sumness earns both praise and harsh criticism; The Illogical Consequence is lauded for polish and range. Static is described as a glacial, minimalist turn away from danceability. The Great Shake signals maturity with Alex Uhlmann and 80s-tinged coherence, while Lemonade marks a catchy return in greatest-hits mode.
