History of Funky House

Funky house is a loose definition for a commercially-oriented, disco influenced subgenre of house music. Like most varieties of house, the genre follows a traditional four to the floor house beat, and makes heavy use of synthesizers, samples and soulful vocals, though instrumental tracks are also common. Notable producers that have worked in this genre include Fedde le Grand, the Freemasons, Soul Central, Armand van Helden, StoneBridge and Seamus Haji.
The genre is commercially popular, with record labels such as Ministry of Sound, Hed Kandi, and Fierce Angel all releasing compilation albums dedicated to the genre.
