“Funky”, or some call it UK Funky, or “twitch”, or “wonky”, “fidget”, is a new house sensation that first found its recognition in the UK circa 2007. In a recent interview DJ Zinc shares his thoughts: “I really like the vibe of that scene, which until recently was pretty much exclusively an after party scene in South London. It sounds like a cross between regular house and UK garage, with mainly 4/4 beats and basslines, but not as fast or cheesy as bassline house. One of the first tracks that really had the sound was Cure And The Cause by Fish Go Deep, the Dennis Ferrer mix. It feels to me a bit like UK garage, except it’s a bit more 4/4. The UK take on house often is grittier. I guess it’s because British people have been listening to lots of reggae and jungle, so they bring those elements”.

When Matt Mason left last year as editor of RWD magazine, the UK’s foremost urban publication and one that supported grime even before it was called grime, he delivered a prediction: funky house would be the next big urban movement. Before we see it come true, check out this exclusive DJ Zinc Mix!

这个新的英式浩室音乐在06－07年间在英国出现，最近在一篇DJ Zinc的访问中他谈到他对这个音乐的感想：

“我真的很喜欢这个直到最近只有在伦敦南部一些after party才听得到的音乐。它听起来像一般浩室音乐和UK Garage（英式浩室音乐的一种，还有一些灵魂乐、福音、迪斯可的成分在里面）的结合，但是着重于4／4拍和厚重的低音声线，但稍微慢些，也没有这么世俗。对我来说首次展现出这种音乐特点的舞曲是Fish Go Deep Dennis Ferrer混音的Cure & The Cause。英国因为英式雷鬼和丛林音乐的背景，对浩室音乐的诠释一向都会带点影响“。

英国权威杂志RWD编辑Mark Mason曾经预言FUNKY将是英国下一波urban音乐风潮，我们拭目以待！在看到结果之前，请大家享受这个DJ Zinc的mix吧！

这期的PhreakCast我们为你收录了我今年夏天在英国Brighton的Hospitality派对的现场演出。。当晚状况不佳，严重视差，所以对自己的表现不满意。幸好有MC Wrec在旁边助阵，到派对尾声才渐入佳境。感谢当晚众人的支持，我会永远记得我这第一次在英国演出的经验！
