Funky House

 
 

Description of Funky House

 
Although increasingly rivaling trance as the genre most likely to be sneered at by older clubbers, funky house is proud of its disco roots. Identifiable by its slap-happy funky basslines, wah-wah guitars and Salsoul diva vocal samples, funky house is unafraid of tunes, chart hits and dressing glam for a night out. While there is often a formula at work, the more creative end of the market (Erick Morillo and Wally Lopez, to name but two) are doing their best to keep things fresh -- as well as funky.
