Now I’m not one for new genre names and sub genres, to coin an over used phrase Good music is Good music. But sometimes its needed to make distinctions and draw a line in the sand so things can move forward and I’m all for that. One of the genres that’s been bubbling for a bit on the undaground is UK Funky and now a new sub genre has mutated from this is funky bashment. Championed by Gabriel of The Heatwave it’s a mixture of UK Funky tracks with dancehall vocalist flowing on top, be it UK or JA artists. At the moment it producing some fresh new exciting music. Artists like Shystie, Ms Dynamite, Maxwell D and Busy Signal to name but a few all have hot tracks right now plus funky vs bashment events are starting to spring up over London.
