I have to say I'm getting excited about Nu-Funk again, a couple of artists are responsible for this. I really like the fact that guys are breaking out the synths and adding that "rough" bass factor to nu-funk. I had felt that the scene was depending on over-played samples, Fatman Scoop vocals, and an influx of boring ideas for a while, but suddenly a ton of great stuff is coming out and infusing some great ideas into the musical style. Of course people like A-Skillz and John Ohms have been doing this for a while now, but I'm glad to see some new faces taking it to the next level. Look up John Ohms "Pass it Round", or A-Skillz remix of K&S "Squeeze Me" as prime examples of how this style has been evolving.
Direct Examples:
Dj Wood "Hustle Muscle"
Kool Hertz "Hotstepper"
Skee-Lo - I Wish (Slynk Remix)
Dirty Dubsters - SKA SKA SKA
