Brit funk is a music genre that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the United Kingdom, drawing inspiration from American funk, jazz, and R&B while infusing a unique British sensibility. Characterized by its infectious grooves, punchy horn sections, slinky bass lines, and smooth vocal harmonies, this genre combines the lively energy of dance floor rhythms with sophisticated musicality. Its sound is a blend of crisp musicianship and soulful melodies, often featuring keyboard-driven tracks and a heavy emphasis on the ensemble playing. Brit funk achieved significant success within the UK club scene and among aficionados of the funk genre, cultivating a distinct niche that bridged the gap between mainstream pop-funk and the more underground, jazz-funk sounds.
