Funk in the Twilight — “Sexy Creep” by Ono Kimono

Ono Kimono’s “Sexy Creep” slinks in like a fever dream caught between a disco ball and a lava lamp — dripping with funk, grit, and a sly sort of confidence. It’s a song that lives in the neon glow of another era, where the line between groove and hallucination blurs in the best way possible. You can practically feel the 1977-to-1993 time warp that defines Ono Kimono’s world — all velvet basslines, warped synths, and that deliciously warped psychedelic haze that wraps the whole thing like a silk scarf.

The production is pure ear candy. That “yeauuh” bass nods knowingly to Pony-era sensuality while Daft Punk’s robotic charm hums somewhere in the circuitry. But Sexy Creep isn’t content to merely imitate — it reinvents nostalgia. Each layer feels handcrafted, from the elastic rhythm to the vocal-like textures that seem to flirt, taunt, and tease their way through the track.

What’s most striking is how alive it feels — as if the song itself is breathing, watching, waiting to pull you onto the dance floor at midnight. It’s strange, seductive, and just a little bit spooky — the perfect balance of charm and unease. Ono Kimono has created something rare here: a groove that’s both throwback and futuristic, a wink from the past that still makes you want to move in the present.
