into existence—a tight, quantized, four-on-the-floor kick drum that demands your heartbeat fall in line. Funkytown

When Steven Greenberg sat at his Moog synthesizer in 1979, he wanted to write a song about movement, progress, and joy. He succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. He just never could have predicted that forty years later, the internet would build a second Funkytown right next door.

He was led through a labyrinth of carpeted hallways and spinning mirrored tunnels. Gravity seemed optional. Leo stepped on a floor that turned out to be a giant keyboard, each step playing a note. A woman with rollers in her hair roller-skated past him carrying a tray of glow-in-the-dark cupcakes. A pack of stray cats played a tight rhythm on a collection of hubcaps and garbage can lids.
