funky house sceptics, let me draw your attention to this

i dont want to get into a slanging match. i have stuff i need to do today without message boarding.

clarkness, i dont, but i dunno, it just seems a bit... stiff? like people are david attenborough watching some buffalo run away from a tiger through the bushes or something. or some national geographic thing.

"@ titchy - got a better way of explaining how and why these scenes evolve the way they do?"

I know the question wasn't for me, but isn't that basically asking "have you got a better way of conducting an anthropological exercise than with an anthropological exercise?"?

If you're talking about scenes, in the sense of something rooted in the social and physical, rather than purely about music, then isn't it inherently anthropological?

the dancehall crossover/bashment funky is some of my favorite stuff..

geeneus' new mixtape with katy b is awesome - their version of "good life"!! one of those tracks that seems like it was always destined for a funky version http://www.thefader.com/2010/02/04/geeneus-f-katy-b-tippa-mixtape-mp3/

Will check that now!

Meanwhile, this is AMAZING:

Marcus Nasty: "your work rate is FUUUUUUUUUUCKED keep it up you shitta"

that is great yeah.

tell you what else needs a uk funky version - "the key the secret".

AGREED.

might just be being grumpy but that strikes me like it the wrong sort of cheese 4 funky, i dunno...? would just whack the accapella over karizma '33rd street anthem' for the epic vibes myself maybe.

also sum that video up for billy no-facebook over here?

Devine Collective "House Girls Part 6"

part 6?? (did u hear that part 2 with the zombified lollop in the end btw.)

wow that is great, and sampling 'hey hey' already?

woah, what's the first song on that geeneus mixtape? it's amazing!

it's zinc & ms dynamite's "wile out" - video is upthread

the last one i think is a really lovely show from the best selector on the scene asa far as im concerned. maybe the worst at mixing....but i can overlook that.... lots of u.s stuff to begin with then it gets deep and dirty...tracklisting included....

http://vulive.co.uk/content/2010/01/31/weeksey-22-jan-2010/

that link got mangled for me but i'm guessing it's this weeksey show yeah?

been meaning to ask what's good on vu these days - i listened to a danny native one a while back and he introed with a seriously random undie rap selection and then once he got into the house he dropped a mf doom funky refix. not good. this has got some good bits on there tho, i liked 'restless native' if memory serves:

ahh groove theory is a great vocal to use!! (on that unknown strangers myspace). kinda wish they'd approached it with a bit more 2step finesse mind.

three days left for this month's dose of footloose btw guys

minor distinctions but this new version turns a footnote into a hit imo

aidonia is a such a career biter it almost pains me to say that.

part 6?? (did u hear that part 2 with the zombified lollop in the end btw.

I listened to that radio set and... isn't that just part 1 (although the organ hits seem to be double rather than single) with a short bit of another tune (that sort of lethargic but dramatic tuba synth-bass lurch) at the end? Or maybe not? I'm sure I've heard that lurch bit heaps of times before though, now I'll have to work out if it's always at the end of "House Girls". It sounds a lot like the even-more-lethargic tuba bass in "Tribal Conga" so I assume it's by Devine either way.

i mostly just listen to the weeksey ones off deja becasue all the other shows involve me wading through too much shit and i dont have the time or the patience.
this is the feb 1st one....
http://vulive.co.uk/content/2010/02/06/weeksey-1-feb-2010/
no track list yet but i think there will be soon...

what is a career biter? i like aidonia a lot. hes done a lot of good things.

i like her
i -love- her

how can you argue with that?

DJ Petchy with MCs Topsee & Dream on LiveFMUK 13.02.10

i've only just heard of Petchy but he is so good!! so many amazing tracks and his mixing and cutting is outrageous, within 2 shows he has become one of my favourite djs, no joke. but the mc's i think are very very good also, the vibe they bring between all of them is very very big

i recognised a few tracks but loads i didn't. felt People Keep Dancing for the first time properly, it sounded amazing coming out of the mix

i know that boy petchy.... he is now one of the regulars at soul sure at pacha if you want to see him live. he gave me the first indication of the funky takeover when he sold all his grime records and replaced them with funky in something stupid like 2004.

theres a kano lyric that mentions him too...
'heartless crew and M.A.D tapes grew me...cant forget to big up petchy and scoobee'

Fish Go Deep - The Cure & The Cause

live fm>>>>

love those cooly g tweets

that's interesting Luka. i'd noticed he'd played at pacha a bit i'm gonna keep an eye out and go down sometime. i'm sure he'd play quite different styles to radio in a spot like that but i'm sure it'd be very heavy. i saw a youtube of him playing a tune by that guy Ossie down there in and out of two very big tracks so definitely worth reaching!

he was one of the best djs in grime when he was still doing that...him and mak 10 were way ahead of everyone else.... im glad he's making a name for himself...

d malice show on deja.... very listenable.

So many amazing dubs on Funkystepz' Rinse shows - check 5 Feb in particular, there's a track with Louise Williams I'm calling "I'm So Into You" which is just a-maz-ing.

i can only find one from the 9th feb.

Thoughts on Funkystepz:

Also: that DJ Petchy set is fantastic.

Also: the Ill Blu remix of Cheryl Cole's "Parachute" is enormous and is floating around for illegal download.

hey where do you dudes find mp3s of this stuff? i'm not above youtube rips but i'd rather not if they're available elsewhere.

i posted this in another thread but it should have gone in this one -
http://blissout.blogspot.com/2010/02/piece-on-resurgence-of-female-mcs-in_22.html

Wow that post is pissily defensive. I don't think even the anti-continuum dudes are claiming there's no relationship between UKG, funky and grime, because that would be, well, fucking stupid. I mean, Lex's article only reinforces the continuum if the sole point of the continuum is to state the bleeding obvious.

The point of the continuum is to state the bleeding obvious though.

The Feb 10 Marcus set has some amazing new tracks. The Andy J and ST refix of "Reign" is just O_O good.

(OTOH Andy J's "Lighter"-sampling track is a bit tenuous - the c*ntinium-bait tracks almost always end up disappointing I find!)

Anyway I was listening to this on the way to work today and it made me a tad emotional thinking about how attached I am to pretty much everything this style of music tries to do.

emvee's 'windrush' at 64mins on that is amaaazing - the one with the what sounds like the "chubby checker" intro.

Ha ha I was about to come back and post "OMG WINDRUSH!"

hold on, i gotta zshare this for the people.
