Funky

ⓘ This lostwave is classified as solved.

Funky (formerly known as Dance For Hours A Day or Dancefloor Was His Name, abbreviated as DFHAD) is a solved lostwave.

Background

Between July 7th and 8th, 2007, presveva posted an mp3 link to an unknown song in Google Groups. It got around 100 views. Someone suggested that presveva uploads it to WatZatSong.

July 8th, presveva uploaded two snippets to WatZatSong, deleting the first. The post was given barely any attention.

On September 26, 2022, RojoCatto posted the song onto YouTube. The WatZatSong sample had around 200 listens by this point.

Searchers attempted to contact presveva after over 13 years of inactivity. On July 21st, 2023, RojoCatto asked OP to post the longer sample on Vocaroo if he's still here. After that, attention was brought to the post and efforts were made to contact OP via various social medias.

On November 6th, the r/DanceForHoursADay subreddit was created. Following that, on November 13, presveva came back after 16 years and 4 months of inactivity. After that, a Discord server was created but not made public until the 25th. OP joined the Discord server exactly a month later on December 25th.

On January 2nd, 2024, the earlier post containing a longer cheering sample was rediscovered. On January 5th, the #dance-for-hours-a-day channel was made on the FMM Discord server.

Discovery

On January 9th, the song was identified as "Funky" by Royal Treatment Plant by Discord user Sveta, with help from OP, Presveva. On February 22nd, Discord user octavia obtained the full EP from user artstorm who had the full EP in his mp3 collection.
