Funky that isn't "girly"

On the whole, I'm not feeling a lot of funky, as I find a lot of it a bit too "girly" with all the vocals and "carnivale" sounds. And some of it sounds just too much like plain old house.
However I have heard the occasional tune that I've really liked - usually it it the polyrhymic stuff that is pretty stripped back to bass and beats - but with killer percussion, of course.
Can someone please point me in the direction of some more tunes like this?
Cheers!

Geeneus - Yellowtail (original version)

while I personally think the fluffy shit sounds a lot more like uk Garage than House, I too cant stand the crazy cousins style RnB tunes, ng plays a lot of this, and its real dross.

Yeah, I listened to Roska's mix for FACT magazine, and thought it was pretty awful, tbh.
Way too girly for me.

by the acid never lies
Check out Martyn's Gilles Peterson Guest Mix (7 May 2009)
Not all strictly funky but deploys the feminine pressure without losing its teeth
hehe what am I on about
