History

US house producers such as Masters At Work, Karizma, Quentin Harris and Dennis Ferrer could be said to have a strong influence over the development of UK funky. Karizma's song "Twyst This" and Dennis Ferrer's remix of Fish Go Deep's "The Cure and the Cause" were important records in the development of the genre and Dennis Ferrer's "Hey Hey" was a massive hit in the scene.

Hits from the scene include the Crazy Cousinz songs "Do You Mind", "Bongo Jam" and "The Funky Anthem", and Fuzzy Logic featuring Egypt's "In The Morning". Popular songs have also produced dance crazes, such as "Heads Shoulders Knees and Toes", "The Tribal Man Skank" and "The Migraine Skank"{cn|date=June 2012} Other major artists include Apple, Fuzzy Logik, Marcus Nasty, Tribal Magz, Donae'o, KIG,Roska, Champion, Ill Blu, Lil' Silva and Funkystepz.
