ESG

ESG is an American band formed in 1978 in the Bronx, known for a minimalist fusion of funk, post-punk, and dance music. Their sound centers on spare, syncopated percussion, propulsive basslines, handclaps and concise vocal lines, producing tight, dance-oriented grooves that sit between club music and punk. The group's stripped-down arrangements and rhythmic focus have been noted for their influence across hip hop and electronic dance music.
