Funky House

Funky House emerged in the late 1980s, mainly in Chicago, when DJs decided that house music needed a dollop of funk and a twist of disco, resulting in beats that make your feet move even if your brain hasn't signed off on it yet. It's characterised by groovy basslines, jazzy chords, and rhythms that could coax a dance out of even the shyest wallflower, proving once again that the more complex the beat, the less we think about our life choices. With its infectious energy, Funky House has left clubs buzzing and inevitably led to the great debate over whether it's a genre or just a cheeky way to get people to shake their hips on the dancefloor.
