"Future Funk" is one of the most iconic 2.1 levels to me, if not across all versions. With the 10-year anniversary coming up, I felt like it'd be fitting to upload this and a couple other iconic levels, so you may see some uploads like that. As of writing this I'm still on vacation and unable to record anything myself. Special thanks to Floppy for doing these for the channel!

Admittedly, I didn't remember many of the level's parts, especially in the first half, before looking to write this description. The most iconic parts come later, such as the Dual at 2:54 and of course the part at 3:59. This part's block design and the "2018" in the background is what I remember most. These parts have aged quite well in my opinion, and so have some of the other parts, but I do have to say that some parts here and there look quite outdated. It's 5.5 years old at this point, though, so that's to be expected. It was great back then, and as a result, it definitely helped popularize levels this long with its duration of 4.5 minutes. 8.7M downloads in-game, 5M more than his next most downloaded level, is a testament to that.

    To me it’s quite crazy to think that it’s already been over five years since this level has been released. JonathanGD has had such a big and positive influence on the creator scene during all of 2.1. With his really unique creating style he inspired a lot of creators and he’s one of the creators who introduced high quality XXL levels to this game. Future funk, its sequel and all of his other big projects are all such iconic levels that I’m sure won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
  • @patryk2844
    One of few early 2.1 levels that actually aged well
  • @Audieo
    Its shocking to me that this released in 2018. For its time it was INCREDIBLE, and even today i think it holds up phenomenally
  • @Arb71703
    That robot jump through the invisible spike at 0:45 is still one of my favorite gameplay moments ever, its just such a satisfying fake.
  • @Info-cj8dq
    I love how all of sudden everyone plays this amazing level again
  • @IceFortreeX
    One of the most recommended levels for beginners of the game.
  • @cyanflower
    This level was my first JUMP jump in terms of difficulty, going from easy-Medium Demon Ultra Violence to this. Mastering everything from start to finish took some time but was worth it. My favourite part is the dual, which syncs pretty well to the song and in general is really fun. Also, I beat this level half an hour after I died at 99%, which is one of the best accomplishments I've gotten done in this game so far. Next up, Light Travel :)
  • @opythegever
    i definitely see that people are saying lately that Jonathan "fell off" in the quality of his levels compared to his earlier 2.1 works, and i think that's probably because his style became more detailed over time, which clashes alot with his really simple style of structuring. personally, it was maps like Biru, Dark travel and mostly Future funk that i think had the perfect balance of designs that are simple but appealing, with said structuring style Jonathan has
  • @robianny
    This is one of those levels where the quality isn't reflected through the parts themselves, but through the full experience. incredible stuff, honestly
  • @Optic_220
    I beat this recently after 4 years on and off. Each and every time I came back to it it felt so awesome to play. Future Funk is just one of the levels where you feel so awesome playing it, like you are actually doing really good. Even though the core gameplay is easy, it feels so impressive just to attempt it. Despite the fact that I've beaten Extreme demons now, Future Funk is still one of my proudest achievements.
  • @GM360
    JonathanGD is one of my favorite creators so I love this level, recently beat it myself recently for my second hard demon
  • @ledipsy
    Its crazy how influential Future Funk is, I remember before the magic section got overhauled there was lots of remakes (of varying quality) of that level on it.
  • @JamAttack
    almost thought viprin beat an XXL level harder than an easy demon for a second that was scary
  • @coffeebreak7668
    Holy, this takes me back to being a kid again, at the peak of my obsession with gd, coming home from school and grinding out some demon till it was dark outside. Man those were the days.
  • @oscarlaverde8953
    (To Jonathan) Your level is such a great masterpiece. Even if it came out at 2.1, your level is STILL really good I can tell how much time you spent on this level.
  • @gdplayer1004
    Thanks for uplading this level again Viprin, I am a huge Jonathan GD fan <3 (I'm also your fan since you made Arachnid temple in 2.0 w/ serponge xd)
  • @SWBPro
    Wow this is an incredible level, what a great NEW level, that seems to be one of the best THIS year
  • @Peridoughnut
    i love how as soon as i saw this i stopped whatever i was doing, clicked on the video and just jammed to the song. this level is such a vibe. very iconic level that aged really well. i'm glad this level is getting recognition again <3
