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

Omg Nero Must be the feeling so underrated.

 

:dance: :music:

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 :dance: :music: :lol:

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

Unfortunately Crazy Chick probably is funky house but not good funky house imo :(

 

So first 'Work From Home' is tropical house and now 'Crazy Chick' is funky house?! :lol:

 

Err... OK then!

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).

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.

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

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry for posting again on the thread but I found this new funky house track by the way which is rather good:

 

 

Another fave.

An example of a new funky house track which I rather like. It probably won't do anything in the charts though sadly

 

Heard this on a car advert, never heard this before now it's a good example of funky house

 

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.

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.

Yeah Yeah Yeah is from a little while ago anyway, sadly it didn't get a push other than being in an advert

Its got that nostalgic sort of mid 2000s sound in the chorus which I like.

 

House Work is not my kind of thing.

As Roisin Murphy has a new album out this week i was reminded of these two
