Future Funk Production Techniques With Jafunk TUTORIAL
Combining the best elements of Funk, Neosoul and Disco, Future Funk is a highly engaging style of music that delivers a deeply human touch, whilst also satisfying the need for an electronic punch! Hailing from Australia but now residing in Berlin, producer Jafunk not only captures the true spirit of the style but also possesses an innate ability to describe his music making process in an accessible and captivating way. In his debut Producertech course, he takes you through a workflow where he builds up beats and melodies using sampling and synthesising techniques, to create a Future Funk arrangement from scratch.
Jafunk has been producing music for over a decade, bringing out numerous releases on Unity Records and working with artists like Mark Knight, Chromeo and Fabich. Many of his tracks have accumulated millions of plays on Spotify, with his uplifting style creating buzzing tracks with mass appeal. Alongside this, he has produced a number of sample packs for Loopmasters and even found time to teach as well. As is obvious from the course, he’s a natural teacher and has no problems communicating his workflow, despite delving into some of the more theoretical sides of production.
The course begins with a look at how Jafunk makes beats, as he builds up all of the main drums and percussion. Particular attention is paid to the sequencing, as he applies subtle randomness and variation, whilst multiple layers are used to create a massive sound. He then moves onto the melodies, describing some of the fundamental aspects of coming up with a Funk or Soul chords progression, and how all of the different accompanying instrumental parts are made from that. Once all of the sounds are in place, he uses a subtractive process complete with various automation to create the arrangement.
Signing up to the course provides immediate access to over 2 hours of streamed tutorials, along with a download of the course project and even a bonus samples pack from Loopmasters. For more info, check out the sample module from the course, as well as a bounce of the arrangement, which can be found on the Producertech SoundCloud page. Furthermore, the Producertech Membership provides access to this course as well as all others on the Producertech site, in addition to weekly livestreams from tutors including Jafunk, and lots more!

Originally from Bari, Italy, Fedele Ladisa is part of the emerging wave of DJ producers who are eager to explore new territories of electronic music and one of the three minds behind the already acclaimed Italian outfit Agents of time. Since his youth, when he learned how to play instruments such as piano and violin, music has always been his passion.
In 2006, he entered the universe of DJing and started performing in different clubs around Italy. With Hip Hop, R’N’B, Soul, and Nu-Disco music as initial backgrounds, he soon developed an ever-growing and free-spirited interest in House and Techno’s unpredictable variety of soundscapes. His penchant for electronic music led him to master the universe of synthesizer techniques and drum machines and to start creating his own productions.
Following an enthusiastic debut on the American label Undulate, he further enriched his ongoing solo career with the creation of the ambitious project Agents of Time. A new journey, which led him to perform at internationally recognized festivals as well as infamous clubs around the globe and to receive massive support from the likes of Tale of Us, Dixon, Tiga, Agoria, John Digweed, Stephan Bodzin, and Miss Kittin.
Driven by devotion for the underground pioneers and a yearning for forward-thinking sounds, Fedele’s own DJ sets herald a stream of compelling and emotive beats and textures, always irrespective of the preconceived mainstream inclinations.
