Donk. Donk. Donk.

So there is this thing called Donk. It's really, really bad. It's really, really addictive.



What's Donk you ask?

Donk:
A pipe/plank-sound, that is used in Bouncy/scouse house/NRG music. Hearing this sound in a piece of music, one can easily recognise the genre of music it is.

The sound is most commonly placed midway between beats, in the same place as hi-hats, but can be put in other places for different effects and such. The music it is used in is usually played between 150 and 160 Beats Per Minute.

When dancing, a donk commonly makes the dancer bounce on the donk beat.

It all started (as far as I know) with the insta-classic "Put a Donk on It" by Blackout Crew. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckMvj1piK58 It's fucking infectious despite how awful it is. AND. It's popular as all hell.

Vice TV did a 5 part documentary series on it.

Have fun Donk headz!
