Boogie (also, electro-funk[1][2][unreliable source?], electro boogie[2][unreliable source?]) is a term used in the early 1980s London to label a particular style of African American music, that appeared after the demise of disco.[3][1]. Major influence on boogie were the genres of funk, disco, soul, rhythm and blues and also European electronic music of the 1970s. In the UK, boogie was marginalised, as it was almost exclusively enjoyed in the black community; thus, it had underground to limited popularity.[2][unreliable source?]. Boogie records were mostly imported from the United States and were sometimes regarded as "electro-funk" or "disco-funk".[1] Originally the word boogie could be found in 1970s funk and disco records, but tracks like "Boogie's Gonna Get Ya" (Rafael Cameron, 1981), "Don't Make Me Wait" (Peech Boys, 1981), "Break Dancin' - Electric Boogie" (West Street Mob, 1984), "I'm in Love" (Evelyn "Champagne" King, 1981) or "You're the One for Me" (D. Train, 1981) helped define the musical style of boogie.[1][2] [unreliable source?]
Boogie record labels include Prelude[2],[unreliable source?] West End[2],[unreliable source?] Sam[3][1] as well as mainstream disco labels like SalSoul, Radar or Vanguard[3], among with Profile, Tommy Boy, Streetwise, Sugar Hill, Emergency[2].[unreliable source?]
About electro-funk origins, Greg Wilson claims:
[sic] and its influences lay not only with German technopop wizards Kraftwerk, the acknowledged forefathers of pure electro, plus British futurist acts like the Human League and Gary Numan, but also with a number of pioneering black musicians. Major artists like Miles Davis, Sly Stone, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, legendary producer Norman Whitfield and, of course, George Clinton and his P Funk brigade, would all play their part in shaping this new sound via their innovative use of electronic instruments during the 70’s (and as early as the late 60’s in Miles Davis’s case).[2][unreliable source?]
The better-known 1980s performers in this post-disco movement include Patrice Rushen, Mtume, Kashif, Nick Straker Band, Skyy.
