Wonky House

Wonky House

Wonky House (or Wonk House) is a subgenre of house music, that contains elements of Chicago house, tech house, minimal house and the quirkier end of techno.

Its beats are generally 4 to the floor, but the noises attached often have a quirky, and possibly comedic elements, (animal noises, kazoos, bells, whistles etc), whilst retaining the funkier and deeper grooves of house music.

Main exponents of the genre are Big Hair and Ward Clerk from London label U-Freqs, Jacob London from Seattle, Claude Von Stroke from Dirty Bird records in San Francisco, Mike Monday from Playtime in the UK, Mowgli, and Chris Duckenfield from Swag in Nottingham. DJs such as Nathan Coles and Anton Loshe also play elements of this genre.

Also see Wonky techno.
