Doneao pulled up MY tune and honestly… I wasn’t ready for myself 😂🖤

Malika’s “Go” finding a new wave of love online more than a decade after its original release, Donae’O’s “Nights Like This” getting a nod at the MOBOs and viral clips of Princess Nyah blasting classic anthems from the driver’s seat, all point to one thing: ✨ UK FUNKY 2.0 ✨ The resurgence of a sound that deserved a lot more than it got the first time round.

Born in late-00s London, UK funky fused house, garage, grime and broken beat into a sound that felt super homegrown. With its skippy drums, African-inspired percussion, heavy basslines and feel-good energy, the genre thrived through pirate radio and underground raves way before TikTok trends dictated music discovery. Artists like Donae’O, Princess Nyah, Malika, Funky Dee, Katy B and Kyla, alongside producers such as Geeneus, Crazy Cousinz, Roska, NG and Apple, helped push the sound far and wide, while DJs like Marcus Nasty never stopped flying the flag—keeping funky alive in the clubs, on radio and across the underground even after the spotlight moved on.

The current revival is being driven mostly by nostalgia online and younger listeners coming across the sound for the very first time. Malika’s “Go” doing numbers on TikTok and Instagram has introduced funky’s bounce and groove to a whole new audience, while Princess Nyah’s fun-filled throwback clips tap back into memories of Black British clubland throughout the noughties. Frisco’s “Too Many Man” verse is also doing the rounds.

This resurgence is just another reminder of UK funky’s pull: still fresh, still moving people, still connecting. And with big-name acts like Jorja Smith weaving elements of funky into her sound, you can expect even more attention on the scene all 2026 (and, hopefully, beyond).
