Phonk, Drift Phonk

[version]

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....

There's tons of it being uploaded to YouTube.

 

[william_kent]

is this a "chan" thing?

 

[version]

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.

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

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.

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

 

[version]

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.
