Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's being trapped on an island with all the other yobs, but I feel like the UK would sink in the ocean if it wasn't inventing a genre every few minutes. You'll have to excuse we Yanks if we can't keep up.
Case in point -- Boomkat has this '14 tracks' thing where they sell 14 tracks under a topic heading. Their latest one is 'Opening Up UK Funky.' While there are several tracks I'd identify as 'UK funky' about half of them are from releases I already own, that I thought were dubstep. What would happen to a producer in the UK who just made what he or she felt like making, and didn't align themselves with a scene? Lucky there's a Welfare State in place, otherwise they'd starve.
