Chicago's DJ Funk pioneered the ghetto house subgenre, influencing numerous dance producers and DJs around the world. His music was fast, raw, and minimal, generally focusing on banging four-to-the-floor drum machine rhythms and sexually explicit lyrics, usually in the form of brief, repeated samples rather than full verses. Throughout the 1990s, he released dozens of records on labels like Dance Mania and his own Funk Records, containing DJ staples like "Pump It" and "Work Dat Body." He also issued several mixtapes and CDs, with 1999's Booty House Anthems receiving wider distribution and becoming a classic of the genre. DJ Funk's tracks have been sampled and remixed countless times, and he's been acknowledged as an influence by French house acts Daft Punk and Justice, among many others. He stuck to his guns and remained true to his signature sound for his entire career until his death in 2025.
