Sleazy, high-octane funk with heavy wah-wah guitars and vintage analog grit. The ultimate soundtrack for 1970s cinematic kitsch and late-night swagger.
This is the sound of a 1970s film set through a thick layer of cigarette smoke and polyester. It is high-energy, unapologetically sleazy funk that leans heavily on the tropes of vintage adult cinema soundtracks. Expect aggressive wah-wah pedals, driving basslines that refuse to quit, and a production style that feels like it was recorded directly to a dusty reel-to-reel tape machine in a windowless Los Angeles studio.
What makes this project distinctive is its commitment to the bit. While many artists sample this era, Pornosonic recreates the specific urgency and low-budget grit of '70s exploitation scores. It is music that feels like it’s constantly building toward a climax, utilizing brass stabs and Hammond organ swirls to create a sense of cinematic drama that is both impressive in its musicianship and hilarious in its thematic dedication.
Start with 'Unreleased 70’s Porn Music' to get the full experience. It functions as a masterclass in 'porn-groove' aesthetics, perfect for anyone who wants their funk with a side of irony and a very heavy dose of vintage analog warmth.
Pornosonic is a project by Don Argott inspired by the style of music in adult films. Two albums have been released.
