It was born in the 70’s when some DJs began to look for, among the independent labels of the United States and the United Kingdom, a sound more “modern” and advanced in terms of Hi-Fi and FM radio technology, than the traditional northern soul lyrical and melodic.

Boogie (sometimes called electro-funk) is a rhythm and blues genre of electronic dance music, born in the USA in the early 80s. The sound of boogie -then evolved into electro and house music- is defined by a link between musical instruments, acoustic and electronic, in which emphasis is given to the voice and to the “effects”. It lacks the four-on-the-floor beat, the “traditional” rhythm of disco music, but gives a strong emphasis to the second and fourth beat, and a time between 110 and 116 BpM.
