A friend of mine working at Sony told me back in 2006, " You should do an old skool house and Garage CD, it will sell coz all the black crowd are getting into it". I laughed. Why you may ask?

Seems to me that given its social and musical characteristics it might be easier not to think of this having so much of a relation to the rave dance music continuum, although it is very housey.

This funky/funky house thing definitely has me interested, though being up in the wasteland that is Glasgow I've been finding it hard to find out more about it.
