I was actually disappointed because I got confused Sunday evening and thought those were *this* weeks releases. They sound great! Maybe even better than the Love Charm EP.
I haven't bought them yet but these recent ones sound pretty good: Smooth Kriminal's Tridant Star, and the two Goodfellaz tracks.. one of which sounds like it samples the Cleptomaniac's Dub of All I Do!
― mr. anephric (the anephric project), Wednesday, 2 September 2009 12:42 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah it does sample "All I Do"! My only criticism of that is that that Bump & Flex production is pretty much the pinnacle of proto-funky, so the main achievement of the Goodfellaz track is to make you want to listen to its sample source again.

this is an amazing banger, just when i was thinking that 2009 needed more vocal anthems w/singing

mj cole's "gotta have it" is good, esp the ill blu remix.

http://blackdownsoundboy.blogspot.com/2009/09/marcus-nasty-interview.html
semi-related but i thought this marcus interview w/ clark was a fun read, and not just for the picture. (although omg mods PLEASE put that up on the first jacob post in the thread!!!)
particularly how it's lucky he's more of a despot in word rather than deed (just dj-wise i should hasten to add, i've heard the other scary irl stories) cos the prescriptive way he carries on about mcs in funky is, albeit inversely, decidedly logan-esque. (logan who in his righteous monopoly stamped out every green shoot grime tried in its fading latter years imo.)
also haha, the cameo ragging is hilarious.

also if that vato gonzalez "4 minutes" is the madonna track, i'm glad about its proximity to "seasons". been saying all year that needed to happen.

Actually the Scotty D track is only A+, I keep forgetting it's not the "It's the new sound!!" track.

Damn, I was wondering what merited those extra 12 pluses.
There's quite a lot here I don't know, which is refreshing for a commercially available funky comp. When's it out?

Lex, you were wondering the other week/month ago whether or not I would like funky or not or if it would be too "girly" for my tastes. Answer: no I fucking love it :-)

i think its officially time to stop hoping any funky records will blow up commercially btw. if do you mind and in the morning cant do it, i doubt any other tracks can.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 22 September 2009 14:50 (fourteen years ago) link
i still feel like it should be able to. if electrogrime is the 09 equivalent of late 90s trance-pop (alice deejay etc.) then funky should be able to do as well as 2 step did alongside that then.
― unban dictionary (blueski), Tuesday, 22 September 2009 15:43 (fourteen years ago) link
i don't see why funky can't do this either, as it's an incredibly accessible sound, although afaik (and i don't know much it seems) it hasn't properly spread throughout the suburbs yet, so maybe it's just a matter of time before it decentralises.

― lex pretend, Saturday, 26 September 2009 01:08 (fourteen years ago) link
I dunno if you're eye-rolling at me lex, but it kinda pisses me off that it's so much easier to publish an article saying "hey this unambitious populist dance scene is already dead but don't worry! there's an intelligent version of same that you can enjoy while retaining cred" than it is to publish an article actually talking about that scene.
I respect Fact and XLR8R and etc. (not least for being the kinds of magazines likely at least to be interested in a scene like funky) but the sad truth is that their entire approach basically demands the former kind of article - if "funkstep" didn't exist they would have had to invent it.
― Tim F, Saturday, 26 September 2009 02:17 (fourteen years ago) link
Hell, it sounds like something I'd come up with.
I was kind of begging for more music like Cooly G and Roska last summer on my blog.
Etymology wise funkstep is just shit, if you're going to halve UK Funky and Dubstep at least take the interesting parts. Call it DubFunk or SocaTech, or just fucking House. Its not like this is reinventing the wheel.
Cooly's entire recording career to date is just one long musical crush on DJ Gregory.
