West End is a genre of music that originated in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the West End of London. It is a fusion of soul, funk, disco, and jazz, and is characterized by its upbeat, danceable rhythms and its use of synthesizers and electronic instruments. It is often associated with the London club scene of the time, and is often seen as a precursor to the acid jazz and house music genres.
