BuzzJack Music Forum _ Dance _ The Funky House And Disco House Thread
Posted by: TheSnake 5th June 2016, 11:49 PM
I just started this thread as these genres are my favourite in dance music because they really sound similar to the warm sounds of late 1970s disco which I like and also the fact I started to listen to dance music in late 2004 and there was a big trend for this music at the time kick started by tracks like Lolas Theme by the Shapeshifters. This is just a thread to put anything funky house or disco house related in.

Michael vote in movie song plz! (I am locking the thread after you vote!) (EDIT: ignore this!)
Girli is the best funky house ❤️

As far as disco goes, Donna Summer - I Feel Love >>>>>>>>>> The mother song of EDM tbh.
Posted by: HarryEzra 5th June 2016, 11:58 PM
In all seriousness how would you define a funky house song?
Posted by: Iz~ 5th June 2016, 11:59 PM
Alright guys, that is enough spamming x
Keep it funky & housey

I've never really ventured in here before but I saw this topic and was curious to know what exactly funky house is in terms of dance music, shame that didnt quite work out

You should stay, yeah some people are being annoying spammers but just ignore them and talk to the people willing to take an interest in you and your taste!
Posted by: Iz~ 6th June 2016, 12:10 AM
It is completely fine to start threads for genres, I've seen plenty in the past. Just ignore the people pissing about, in fact I'm going to clean up the thread right now.
Posted by: Jade 6th June 2016, 12:10 AM
I was only messin' with you TheSnake! Lotti PMed you GIRLI so I was curious to know your response to Tara.
Don't leave because of this! In hindsight I probably shouldn't have done that as I don't know you too well. I do apologise, this definitely won't be happening again.
(In all seriousness 'I Feel Love' is the pinnacle of disco)

Idk if it's spammers as such, just some people that like to show they've got inside jokes and can collectively post it as a clique, or even just copying the above posters reply seems to be a common theme amongst some too, don't take it personally or let it drive you away from a forum you enjoy posting in 
Posted by: princess_lotti 6th June 2016, 12:11 AM
there's plenty of threads for genres, or things other than artists! no one meant anything malicious so don't let it bother you
Posted by: HarryEzra 6th June 2016, 12:12 AM
TheSnake I am so sorry for leaving a comment like that It was a jokey comment I didnt want to cause you upset or allienate you at all. Please stay. I am feeling awful now.
Posted by: princess_lotti 6th June 2016, 12:12 AM
can someone post some funky house so we can get back on track?
Posted by: Ryan. 6th June 2016, 12:13 AM
This was described as funky house back when it was released, and it is one of my all-time favourite songs!

Well it wasnt that funny. This was only meant to be a small thread in the Dance forum. You didnt all have to spam on here.
I thought if there are threads for Robbie Williams or The Saturdays, then why not one for funky house
Perhaps I will stay here and hold my own against those who dont like me on here.
I Feel Love was the first use of disco together with electronic music though.
Anyway I dislike the term funky house I prefer nu disco. For those wondering what it is it is a genre which utilises usually piano, strings and big disco vocals or disco influences. If you want an example from this decade it would be Bakermat - Teach Me.
I know why you were spamming or trolling, because I was number 10 on tge posters tgread, but I had a bad time with double posting accidentally

Okay well that's where our sense of humour differs. I admit I was in the wrong though as you're new and you wouldn't have known my sense of humour yet! In hindsight I do regret these actions.
And you being #10 in The Posters' chart is a good thing! I wasn't involved in the last argument in that thread and encourage you to post whatever you want!
Again apologies.
(And Bakermat is fab!)
Posted by: TheSnake 6th June 2016, 08:00 AM
Thats great I have never heard this one before.
Jade and everyone else who was spamming, I know that you didnt do it deliberately to get me off the forum. Don't worry i won't be jaded by that.
I have decided to stay here.The Bakermat is a subgenre of funky house, known as gospel house. Similar to this one . Top 20 in early 2006
And Princess Lotti, i suppose the bright colours in the video are similar to that GIRLI video but nothing else Thanks everyone for your suggestions, I don't usually like the organ house variant of funky house (it was overused last year) but I will post this amazing track that was one of the biggest dance tracks of 2003.
Also from 2003, but much more disco influenced
Posted by: lewistgreen 6th June 2016, 03:27 PM
One of my favourite remixes
Classics
Posted by: Mdh 6th June 2016, 03:35 PM
This is really good - 
Snake you should totally start a personal chart, by the looks of it you have a great music taste 
Posted by: HarryEzra 6th June 2016, 03:37 PM
Classics
Omg keep the fire biring and Male a move on me
Posted by: TheSnake 6th June 2016, 04:28 PM
Yes the mid 2000s were great for dance I thought, a lot of people didn't like that period because they liked trance. But trance was already dead and we had the likes of Special D and the later Flip and Fill stuff which i never liked before the funky house period of 2004 to 2006.
I know people don't like the 80s remixes at the time, but one stood out for me
But the best was the proper funky house, like this
And for something a bit more underground/ chilled sounding, this
And these...
Posted by: Ethan 6th June 2016, 05:34 PM
bakermat's 'teach me' is a good example as a recent funky/club house track 
, however i can confirm that it could never in a million years be classified as nu-disco ~ not without offending a LOT of people!
Posted by: Virginia's Walls 6th June 2016, 06:20 PM
Is Brave New World by Charlotte Church funky house or Illo's Rapture??
Posted by: mr_pmt 6th June 2016, 06:35 PM
This is the one which always immediately comes to mind when I hear the term "funky house"
Posted by: TheSnake 6th June 2016, 07:22 PM
Yes thats fantastic, Bob Sinclar was one of those who invented the filtered strings effect. Songs like this used them, this has got to be the pinnacle of the mid 00s chart boom in funky house musically. But why such a bad video, i think these bad videos are the cause of many peoples dislike of funky house
And on the subject of Bob Sinclar, is funky house really French house? The characteristics on wikipedia of French house are very similar to that of funky.
Actually for this decade this is a great example of funky house. Pity it didn't do well in the charts
Posted by: danG 6th June 2016, 07:47 PM
'Brave New World' is trance and 'Rapture' is house/dance-pop.
Posted by: Ethan 6th June 2016, 07:52 PM
iio - rapture ~ progressive house/trance
jurgen vries - brave new world ~ trance
nero - must be the feeling ~ dubstep/grime
Posted by: danG 6th June 2016, 07:53 PM
some more underrated funky house classixx
Alan Braxe & Fred Falke - Intro [UK #35]
Eric Prydz & Steve Angello - Woz Not Woz [UK #55]
Kenny Dope & The Bucketheads - The Bomb [UK #5]
Posted by: TheSnake 6th June 2016, 07:59 PM
'Brave New World' is trance and 'Rapture' is house/dance-pop.
Unfortunately Crazy Chick probably is funky house but not good funky house imo
I don't like all funky house. I never liked Junior Senior (although the drop is good in Move Your Feet but the song is annoying). I never really liked Just Wont Do by Tim Deluxe and Sam Obernik, again I find it a bit annoying I don't know why. I prefer the later stuff in the chart after Lola's Theme, which revolutionised the genre.
If you are looking for a trance song with disco influences this cover by Kelly Llorenna is great, I remember hearing it when ice skating when I was younger
Posted by: danG 6th June 2016, 08:03 PM
Crazy Chick is in no way funky house are you sure that's the song you're thinking of??
That 'Tell It To My Heart' cover is good

Omg Nero Must be the feeling so underrated.

Eh, I find "Must Be The Feeling" to be more complextro than funky house.
My definition of funky house is a house song that blends elements of funk, kinda like this:
Or this:

who'd have thought this one from 2008 would spawn a 9 week #1 in 2016~ *.* 1

From 2005, another version of the 90s dance tune covered by DJ SKT in 2015, this is much less flat and boring than the DJ SKT one imo.
And also from 2005 this spawned a 2015 top 5 hit of course
Posted by: mr_pmt 7th June 2016, 08:18 PM
So first 'Work From Home' is tropical house and now 'Crazy Chick' is funky house?!
Err... OK then!
Posted by: TheSnake 7th June 2016, 11:30 PM
Well because it was released in 2005 the producers of Crazy Chick obviously just decided to use the prevailing sound of the time which was the sort of funky house used by the Shapeshifters. In the same way the Work From Home producers have used this decades chilled house sound (deep and tropical house) to form the backdrop of the song. But you are right they are not the house songs, just pop inspired by the sounds in dance at the time.
One pop star who did use true funky house was George Michael in the 90s (Too Funky, Fast Love).
The new Louisa Johnson collab is probably the only example of a pop star making a funky house song this decade (and thats because of Clean Bandit).
Posted by: Mdh 8th June 2016, 07:26 AM
Someone should make an extended version of One Dance with more of the Kyla sample.

Indeed the bit with the backing singing in it is great in the Drake song.
Posted by: TheSnake 9th June 2016, 08:54 AM
In early 2001 there was also a great wave of funky house in the charts, until trance took over. Here are some examples from the time
Posted by: TheSnake 9th June 2016, 06:10 PM
Sorry for posting again on the thread but I found this new funky house track by the way which is rather good:
Posted by: lewistgreen 9th June 2016, 09:07 PM
Another fave.
Posted by: TheSnake 23rd June 2016, 10:41 AM
An example of a new funky house track which I rather like. It probably won't do anything in the charts though sadly
Posted by: TheSnake 10th July 2016, 10:29 AM
Heard this on a car advert, never heard this before now it's a good example of funky house
Posted by: mdna. 10th July 2016, 10:36 AM
sounds like the kind of song that could be a hit but I assume it'll get hugely overshadowed by House Work which appears to be getting the push as a main single from Jax Jones. shame really because to me this sounds considerably more accessible.
Posted by: lewistgreen 10th July 2016, 10:37 AM
Yeah Yeah Yeah was released as his debut single last year. It didn't bother the charts but was included in a few different adverts.
Posted by: danG 10th July 2016, 10:37 AM
Yeah Yeah Yeah is from a little while ago anyway, sadly it didn't get a push other than being in an advert
Posted by: TheSnake 10th July 2016, 11:30 AM
Its got that nostalgic sort of mid 2000s sound in the chorus which I like.
House Work is not my kind of thing.
Posted by: TheSnake 13th July 2016, 12:28 PM
As Roisin Murphy has a new album out this week i was reminded of these two
Posted by: Mountain Marquis 20th July 2016, 02:44 PM
Some new funky house...again it probably won't do much in the charts.
Posted by: TheSnake 1st August 2016, 09:59 AM
This is quite good, it is a mix of funky house and the kind of early electro that was popular in early 2006
