well to me funk is not inherent to techno as somebody mentionned ... most of the dark stuff isnt funky, and thats obviously the dark techno addicts like miro laugh at people requesting funky techno.

to me, drumcode isnt funky label too... the label has produced some interesting dj tools imo, but i dont wualify them of funky

i dont think the funk can be described.. most of the time it really depends on the dj who mixes it, the way you play records really brings the funk .. just look the difference between surgeon and derrick may ways of mixing, each has its own particular genre, and not saying theres one better than the other, i would say each one has its different way of thinking techno

to me, some kewl funky labels are : sls, ingoma, purpose maker, teknotika... the thing is that the purists will diss these labels saying they are "cheesy" but well this is becasue htese guys are funk haters
