Funktronica

Funktronica

Funktronica (sometimes electro-funk or Nu Funk) was coined in the early 2000s to refer to styles which combine funk beats and sometimes jazz instrumentation with electronic music. Like the terms electronica and funk, funktronica is a loosely defined umbrella musical style. It ranges from combining live instrumentation (syncopated rhythms; thick bass line; razor-sharp rhythm guitars) with new technology and high-end production techniques (exemplified by Particle and Lotus) to more band-based improvised funk with electronic elements (such as that of [http://www.blusirkut.com BLUSIRKUT] ). It is a term sometimes ascribed to Organic Techno such as Zilla and The Disco Biscuts. An early influence upon the new funktronica sound is the 1980s band Zapp. [cite news| last =Meeks| first =Nia Ngina| title =Two classic '70s bands are vying for relevance today| page =E1| publisher ="Virginian-Pilot"| date =2001-09-12| ]
