King Britt is best known as Philadelphia's funkiest and most soulful house music DJ. Rather than sculpting block-rocking beats or painting with Technicolor kitsch, Britt's music is draped in his hometown's many black music traditions. His debut, WHEN THE FUNK HITS THE FAN, explores these sonic roots of Brotherly Love, marrying them to storytelling aspects of modern DJ culture, in a narrated, audio-snapshot-cum-funk-opera.
