Adding the instantly infectious guitar licks to a beat and layering them with an irresistibly catchy melody and striking vocals, \u2018Future Funk\u2019 is an effortless fusion of Nile\u2019s inimitable disco rhythms and Nicky\u2019s ever evolving sound. It\u2019s a testament to both Nile\u2019s extraordinary talent and Nicky\u2019s exceptional instinct that something which started life as a rudimentary riff has been lifted and honed into a superb piece of dance meets pop perfection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Future Funk Trilogy\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/zy4oyewLERc\" target=\"_blank\">WATCH \u2018PART TWO: FUTURE FUNK\u2019 (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Last year, Dutch dynamo Nicky Romero signaled a new creative direction as he unveiled the first part of the self-titled Nicky Romero Trilogy \u2013 a pioneering and imaginative audiovisual journey unlike anything the prolific producer had done before. With Part One still eliciting intrigue amongst fans into its melancholic yet hopeful meaning, Romero has opted to release the second video installment to coincide with the release of its musical counterpart. Going further back in time in Jon\u2019s life, Part Two is a parody of the dark underside of the 80s wall street scene, with a cast of frivolous financiers playing around in a world of sex, drugs and rock and roll. Set a decade later in the 90s, the short film perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the frantic fast-paced world it is relaying. Frequent flashes of business deals, debaucherous acts and boardroom rivalries with the occasional \u2018Lighthouse\u2019 snapshot the only reminder of a life beyond, the scenes are seemingly spurred on by the song\u2019s punchy synths and racing riff. Offering viewers a glimpse into this warped world, the story focuses on the protagonist\u2019s rapid decline as his seemingly high-flying life goes worryingly awry culminating in an unwelcome but not altogether unexpected visit from the FBI\u2026<\/p>\n<p>2016 is set to be a career defining moment for Nicky Romero. The global megastar has just got back from an incredible trip to South Africa where he joined forces with Olmeca Tequila to fly 100 fans from all over the world for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to party with Nicky and the entire Protocol family. With more creative and out of the box campaigns ready to roll out in the coming months and \u2018Future Funk\u2019 just a glimpse of what\u2019s in store on the production front, expect nothing short of epic as 2016 continues to unwind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dutch dynamo Nicky Romero ensures a sensational start to the year as he unveils his captivating collaboration with music icon Nile Rodgers on the phenomenal \u2018Future Funk\u2019 \u2013 out now&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1840,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[774,619,775],"class_list":{"0":"post-1518","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-future-funk","9":"tag-nicky-romero","10":"tag-nile-rodgers"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nicky Romero &amp; Nile Rodgers - Future Funk is OUT NOW!
