About Bolton:

We suppose that “Donk” is the Manchester equivalent of Crunk down here. We like how you can improve any kind of music by “putting a donk on it!” However, it doesn’t sound like a new style to us – just some more weird noises added to happy-hardcore, rave, trance, and gabber music.
What? Hang on a second folks, we have just been informed that “Donk” is really “Scouse House”, which is described as “bouncy techno”. So it’s not happy hardcore. There, it’s settled.
