funky house generally has less of the euphoric sidechainy synths
also, better funky house - at least in my mind - has more focus on interesting percussion and drum programming, rather than a bar loop pasted through the whole thing - all about syncopation, thats where the funky bit comes from
i actually quite liked this though, the melody in the breakdown was pretty cool, though the piano needs some work on the production

thank you! i would definitely love producing funky house, i mean i was sorta listening to some tracks and taking bits and bobs and generally trying to get the idea of what goes in it, thanks for pointing me in the right direction! thanks! yes this isn't my finest work its definitely got alot of things to be tweaked and levelled but i wont be touching this one tbh next one hopefully will be good

Thanks for these man! definitely will get inspired by these tracks, really i was leaning more towards the uk funky house productions like crazy cousins and bla bla if you know what i'm on about?

yea, although the rhythm and tempo is pretty similar to what you would hear with funky, those trancey synths don't really give it that feel, pretty interesting though

i still don't understand how the term 'funky house' seems to have got hijacked to describe stuff like crazy cousinz etc.

classic funky house shares very few similarities

yea they are i guess, i mean listening to 1xtra gives you a different perspective to what it really is i guess, what gennre you reckon crazy cousins make? i'm definitely gonna give the ''actual'' funky house a listen to from what was posted above i'm definitely a fan!

A massive amount of Garage dj's all started playing house after Jon Cutlers 'Its Yours' came out...

Passion FM was the most popular station newly playing this music, Funky House, fast forward a couple of years stations like De Ja Vu started to play Cure And The Cause and some older Dj Gregory stuff like Block Party and Tropical Soundclash/Damelo etc calling all of what was being played Funky House, which then started to be called 'Funky' by the lesser informed/newer listener, when NG's Tell me or Fingaprints Takeover came out it was tagged UK Funky or Funky.

Those "trancey synths" are actually quite a common characteristic in a lot of UK Funky. And a some of the "Funky House" that crosses into UK Funky territory.

Just go to ukfunky.com and you'll hear loads of it.

I hate discussing all this genre nonsense but it's true.
