The sound of neurofunk's early evolution - when diverging from techstep - can be heard on Ed Rush & Optical's "Funktion" single for V Recordings and on their first album Wormhole for Virus Recordings in 1998.
He then, redefined the funk genre by incorporating the skills of virtuosic musicians in the vein of Bernie Worrell, Bootsy Collins and Eddie Hazel, his essential collaborators in the making of P-Funk mythology themes and its long-range instrumentals as tools for his progressive, psychedelic influenced productions, arrangements and concept albums. Bassist Bootsy Collins' extravagant playing style, featuring his instrument in lead rather than in rhythm section only, originated a reverberating, low-frequency bass sound highly influential on the emergence of hip hop, techno and, by extension, the early foundations of neurofunk.
