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/

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.

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....

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.

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...

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
― Benjamin, Sunday, 14 February 2010 18:26 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― Luka, Monday, 15 February 2010 05:35 (fourteen years ago) link
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'

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!
― Benjamin, Monday, 15 February 2010 22:11 (fourteen years ago) link
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... this is the myspacehttp://www.myspace.com/djpetchy

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.

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.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 23 February 2010 17:03 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
