UK Funky

One style is brightening up my world right now UK Funky, its a kinda weird blend of house and dubstep, kinda meets half way to beautiful results.

Alot of the rising stars of the UK Garage/Grime/Bassline/Dubstep scene are leaning towards a newer evolution called UK Funky, not to be confused with Funky House which is probably the most commercial form of house music, i.e found on every Hed Kandi Mix and alot of Ministry of Sounds Mixes especially the Ibiza branded one's.

UK Funky takes production values from many different shades of UK Garage music and blends them, at a standard House Music tempo, with more tribal style percussion and wobble.

There are many different takes on this genre, including producers such as Apple, Lil Silva, Roska and Scratcha DVA, who have a harder, more syncopated sound, and other producers aiming for a more commercial, RNB friendly audience, such as Crazy Cousinz.

Here is a few examples for ya'll





Hope you enjoy and get your funky bounce on !
