Tom, tromboner (snigger) from those kings & queens of the acoustic mashup the Glitzy BagHags was round at the weekend and at one point the question "what is UK Funky?" came up... Now I am a proper genre geek, I can usually tell you exactly what defines a particular genre and exactly why a tune is or isn't an example of it - despite, or because of the fact that they're totally arbitrary. But so far I've found UK Funky hard to pin down - the best I could come up with was "like that Head Shoulders Knees & Toes tune but not necessarily shit."

Well in timely fashion DJ O.live.R of Globalibre has dropped this UK Funky mix showcasing the good stuff... minimal, percussive, tribal, sometimes dark even... O.live.R's Swing House mix from a while back really opened my ears to some new music so I was excited to hear this mix and it didn't dissapoint.

1. Geeneus – Yellowtail VIP
2. Dre Skull – I Want You (Bok Bok RMX)
3. Crazy Cousinz – Inflation
4. Shystie – Pull It (UK Funky Mix)
