I think boogie is more frequently used as a term - and has more of a clearer association with a certain sound - here in the uk than maybe other places. if you want a sense of what boogie is to us, well just think d train or most of that prelude stuff. i can't really explain why one track would be called electro and another boogie, its not a cognitive distinction, it just IS so. this is boogie, thats not. no idea why. we are weird over here y'all know that already. boogie was a really big scene once upon a time here. uptempo syncopated dmx drum machine soul shit. the cultural hangover extends very deep into much of london's musical output ever since.

its an american word clearly, but i've heard people use that term way more over here. and boogie the genre even has a funny pronounciation here which i can't really transcribe. the "oo" part is clipped. so it's like - bougie. sorta
IMO Boogie is more disco-funk, although you get the Greg Wilson types who played electro and boogie, and the slightly harder edged electro-funk tracks, which also get labeled boogie.

f*cking love this song
Now you just need to put some Jheri Curl in that curly hair of yours.
I would not pass up this album if you have a chance!
2 stepper modern soul, and a killer... as is garfield fleming.
This track is baller!
at the intersection of modern soul?
Hey, old man river, zip it or I'll break your hip.
Nah -- to me, heavy low end synth rocking the melody and the Juno pads + the groove + crooning = boogie
but that's sort of my own take...
This would be so great without John Blair in it.
check it out at 3:38
it's all disco dance electro-funk to me
anybody here knows what this joint is ?
it reappeared in the latest Madlib mix for his medicine show series. it was already on his Mind Fusion Vol. 3 from 2005
I thought it was a typically American idiom
*reminisces over MJ *
nice joint
what is it ?
edit: nevermind
