It mixes traditional UKG beats, bass loops and synths with latin percussion and contemporary R&B-style vocals. The genre generally divides into two sub-genres; Bassline and African Tribal.

Percussions such as bongos, tambourines, and drums are used to give a dark exotic african sound due to the constant rhythm of the bongos. UK Funky tracks may also contain steel pan melodies. The crazy snare which people will remember from Garage and Bassline, is non-existent in UK Funky.
