Phonk, Drift Phonk

[william kent]

Anyone come across this stuff? DJ Screw meets Robin S.

There's a variant allegedly out of Russia that's a bit madder called 'Drift Phonk' that's blown up on TikTok with clips of people drifting cars.

never heard of it before @version started this thread

but after 3 seconds of youtube search



Top 50 Phonk songs- best of PHONK

without listening I'm guessing KORDWELL and Anh Haa are the leaders in this scene, Luxcious and INTERWORLD are second runners?

schizo vibes from the youtube comments:




^ STUDY +++



^ LEG DAY! FEEL THE BURN! WORK THAT....

 

[william kent]

There's tons of it being uploaded to YouTube.

 

[Version]

is this a "chan" thing?

 

[william kent]

They're probably aware of it, but nah, don't think so. There's a Wiki page that says SpaceGhostPurrp coined the term and over the years it's developed in a few directions.

I did find a bunch of "sigma phonk" playlists with pics of Bateman and Tommy Shelby.

ive come across it but theres nothing to it.

the basic sounds are nice enough but it's not enough to sustain interst.

This is how I first became aware

It perhaps could have gone in 'chillwave continuum'. There's clearly some overlap with vaporwave and that sort of thing. You can see it in the artwork alone. Moody purple. Anime. Night drives.

Theres also 'funk' coming out of brazil that sometimes uses similar rythmns and big fat granular synths

@mvuent this was also the song I was trying to find but couldnt if you remember

The way the synth sits, or doesn't sit, in the mix on that tune is like the one Greens posted the other day, so I guess it's a stylistic choice and not just poor mixing.
