Dance music – panic (4)

I believe the answer is:

funk

(Other definitions for funk that I've seen before include "US black dance music" , "State of nervousness - syncopated black dance music" , "Blues/soul music with a strong rhythm" , "Jazz or rock with a strong rhythm" , "Nervous fear - type of jazz" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
