This is going to be a fun one, without a doubt. I hope that some people find this night to be their introduction to UK funky, because you will not forget it after the 1st.

UK Funky 101: What is UK Funky?

(from wikipedia)
UK Funky uses tempos of around 130bpm and often has a prominent "4 to the floor" kick drum. The drum patterns commonly also include congos playing Afrobeat-inspired rhythms. Instrumentation varies widely, but drum machines and synthesizers are common. There are huge similarities to garage in rhythmic, musical and vocal style. UK Funky is highly influenced by the tribal, deep, soulful and bassline house subgenres. Similar genres include Afrobeat, broken beat, electro and garage.

Don't let the new name scare you, fans of soulful house like Masters At Work will be right at home on the 1st of December. This is poised to be a fun, sweaty night of dancing - be prepared. Who said the future of music has to be academic? This music is for the clubs!
