Named with an evident lapse in imagination, UK Funky is basically house music. But on this thorough introduction's best songs, it's a fabulously mongrel genre that adds Latin percussion, R&B hooks, electro-soca rhythms and monstrous sub bass to functional dance pop. It's a singles game (see "Calabria 2007," with its hand claps, post-punk sax and kinky dancehall patois), but Geeneus, Crazy Cousinz and Donae'o, who all appear on the mixes, are acts to watch. Sure, there are empty verses and annoying DJ shout-outs, but when the restless beats are right, the words are irrelevant.
