Hehehe....Afro Beats is fake Funky House lol lol

Yes! bring it back, with a fresh sound. More bass, more soulful, less bullshit lyricists. 

@officialdjng: Good point. After all, Apple famously sampled the breakbeat from "Future Rage" in De Siegalizer :)

What happened with sharing and broadcasting music?

Rinse FM Podcast - Supa D Live from FWD (Funky Takeover) - 18th September 2014

Nestled somewhere between grime's rowdy arrival and dubstep's evolution came UK Funky. Not directly related to either of those scenes, it's penchant for Afro-Caribbean polyrhythms and strong backbone within house spoke volumes to the raver.

Somewhere along the lines, things lost their way and aside from the likes of Katy B and rare one-offs, UK Funky quickly became a story of unrealised potential. 

In order to revisit the everything the scene was about, some of the movement's key players - Marcus Nasty, DJ Pioneer, MC Versatile and MA1 - took part in a roundtable discussion podcast. Boiler Room prompted points of interest for the four to feed upon, but generally took a backseat to let the guys chat about what is well and truly theirs. The results are spirited, informative and incendiary in equal measure, with grudges being ironed out and dirty laundry well and truly aired. 

It forms a sturdy backdrop to next Tuesday's UK Funky show with help from MCs and a sect of unannounced live PA specials. It's bound to be a dance-filled affair. More info over here: http://boilerroom.tv/session/uk-funky-flashback/

Once a year, Rio becomes the epicentre of rhythm, resistance and celebration — and in 2025, we made our Carnaval debut right in the heart of it.

This one-off Boiler Room street party brought together the full spectrum of Rio’s sound system culture: from afrofunk and funk carioca, to Miami bass, pagode, and beyond. A true bloco-style throwdown with some batidão pesado e zero KO! 

Curated by Taísa Machado, the line-up featured some of the most iconic names in Brazil: Rennan Da Penha, Furacão 2000, Marcelin, Crazy Jeff, Heavy Baile DJ Set, DJ Vicx, MC Marcelly, Preta Queen B Rull.
