xp haha glad it wasnt just me that felt some long-dormant vestigial shame rear up at getting excited about that track title. but yeah no i totally agree.

ill blu really are kinda outgrowing the scene now though (in terms of the music itself rather than popularity). can't help thinking of them as a redone without a gaga, a danja without a britney - i'd love to hear them with a vocalist (not a rapper) with enough character to push back against their productions.
i expected more of them for the new princess nyah single (can't remember the title, not worth linking anyway) but frustratingly they only regressed to a sort of budget shondrae/bangladesh.

most of the singing/music written to the signing on that Reflex mix is just shocking. i like offkey ish, i like in key ish, but the producer/singer really should settle on one before Miss Singer goes all Mariah-esque embellishment...

Really enjoying Miss Fire at the moment, she's brilliant.
― jimitheexploder, Friday, 4 March 2011 23:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Really rare to find a great singer who's also a good enough producer and songwriter both to be able to smash it on instrumental tracks and step back and let other singers take over.
That Petchy piece was very good though I scratched my head at the reference to "so-called UK Funky". Really?
― Tim F, Friday, 4 March 2011 23:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Very rare indeed, I hope she gets picked up for some releases soon her tracks deserve wax for sure.
No idea what the "so-called UK Funky" line is about either, it seems pointless, wrong and a out of place. It was prob just a flipant slip though I wouldn't bother reading much into it.
― jimitheexploder, Friday, 4 March 2011 23:51 (thirteen years ago) link
I suspect it was an editorial intervention actually, it seems out of keeping with the tone of the article otherwise.

Myshy's "Playground" is SO my jam at the moment. Fuzzy is such a handy opposite-of-everything-boring-in-funky poster boy, he's like a compass in a snowstorm.

this thread has gotten quiet. love that no mcs mix from marcus nasty from last month. might just be his changing tastes or maybe producers have suddenly gotten 'better' recently, but from what im hearing as im playing catch up, funky seems to have lost some of its rougher edges. producers seem to be aiming for higher production values. also noticing more dubstep/bassline influence. also seems to be less beats with the typical galloping drums. or maybe marcus is just playing from a wider range of sources.

Its strange this is the first track I've heard from Lil Silva that I didn't think right away that it was uk funky.
― jimitheexploder, Thursday, 31 March 2011 09:00 (thirteen years ago) link
sampha sounds like james blake doing seal. marks - 1/5. still sounds like funky to me tho, just not hard.
this one is even weirder for silva
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfHfJXV2ivs
this is like his 'hyperdub, please release this' tune.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Thursday, 31 March 2011 14:23 (thirteen years ago) link
I was going to say that Sampha always reminds me of James Blake they share something vocaly but Sampha had a little something else there too and I think you nailed it lol Seal! I kinda like it in a summer jam kind of way.
Heard that 'Cheese & Bun' track on Benji B's show really feeling it.

i dont want to hear silva working with singers
actually im more worried he will stop making bangers and try and go all sophisticated now
same for champion, though he at least owes me about 2-3 eps first before hes allowed to go down that route
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Thursday, 31 March 2011 14:31 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah I like Lil Silva and Champion for the bangers too.
Cheese & Bun almost reminds me of Peverelist, but you know a UK Funky Pev haha
Pretty sure Lighter is finding its way out at some point after the Motherboard 12" so thats 2 outa 3 on the way.
― jimitheexploder, Thursday, 31 March 2011 14:35 (thirteen years ago) link
champion is seriously good i think - i love his bass tonesso if silva does go all upmarket (or if he does a roska), then i suppose champion can neatly fill the voidi need more producers like this in my life thoughwell producers whose records i can buy at least
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Thursday, 31 March 2011 14:41 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah Champion is just pure hype and energy.
Ill Blu have that vibe too but they can be really meladramatic with it, which is cool and everything but sometimes you just want stright bangers. We need Apple and D Malice back lol
Carnao is starting to come into his own with some hype bits: http://www.carnaobeats.com/ but he can be a bit dutch electro house for me at times. Its kinda fun though.
― jimitheexploder, Thursday, 31 March 2011 14:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Best Lil' Silva tune of the last 12 months was his remix of T2's "Better Off As Friends", wish he'd do more blitzkrieg pop tunes.

yeah fairly often the first hours of his shows still just about have that tension, and then nearly always the first sunday roast track to arrive is the harbinger of tedium.

There was about a 15 minute section of his recent show with Majestic when this refined tribal house sound worked really well, like that great Cooly G Rinse set from 2009 only with an MC, but 80% of the time it's just like, "this is nice but why would i go out of my way for it?"
