funky house sceptics, let me draw your attention to this

who made that take it back to the 80s tune? so fucking large.

I think it was NB Funky, titchy.

now that tune IS funky

Hey I'm not a Doubting Thomas - I think I've already admitted I haven't been paying that much attention. Still, the sun coming out has changed that and yeah Can You Kiss Me There is massive, easily as good as any vocal anthem from 08 or 09.

can you kiss me there is ok. its naggingly, in the most literal housewifey sense of the word, memorable. i dont really hear it as being that much better than a million other funky vocal tunes, though its one of the better ones, sure. i feel is a 100 times better. i should stop going on about that seeing as its not really new, but djs seem to be playing it more now for some reason.

i need it, i feel, house girls, take it back, might be my favourite funky tracks of the moment (at least the ones i can name, theres a dozen others i cant)

I meant "for these dudes and any doubting thomases..." not that you are one Matt.

My top ten 2010 at the mo is:

Devine Collective - House Girls Part 6 (it is 6, right?)
Rudimental - Midnight Affair
Ill Blu - whatever it's called
Funkystepz - Lovers
Devine Collective - People Keep Dancing
Roll Deep - Good Times (Ill Blu Remix)
T2 - Better Off As Friends (Lil Silva Remix)
Craig David - One More Lie (Ill Blu Remix)
Screama & Farah - Kiss Me There/I Can't Lose (these run together in my head)
Naughty Raver - Drama

I think of "I Feel" as last year as well really - I think it's just that DJs other than Supa-D finally got copies this year.

i thought house girls was on part 8 (thats what youve been saying tim!)
ill blues dragon pop is also stupidly good
i wish i could devine stuff on youtube.

sticking with old stuff, differnet lekstrix is still doing it for me, despite being - i think- around when apple had mr bean out!!

oh and that ill blu remix makes up for the sin that is the original roll deep single.
wiley should really be ashamed, jesus.

oh and i love roskas sqwawk too.
ok ill stop posting now.
whenever i look at this thread i find i like more funky than i actually thought i did.
its like im almost surprising myself by still liking funky/house lol (old anti house conditioning is still there clearly).

howevaaaaa. also....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcoyINptA94 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-dX4C3ZnYY&feature=related

i think the 1st one is better.

LOVE the funk butcher/shea soul track tim.

Haha no way is there a producer called Funk Butcher.

feel like the beat on that t-gully one is fighting the vocals

i think funk butcher = alias of swindle

(it's an alias of someone we know already at any rate, can't quite recall who)

this is my fav remix of "rude boy" to date (loose cannons/lady chann) - http://soundcloud.com/govtrecords/rihanna-rude-boy-loose-cannons-hype-rihmx-ft-lady-chann

the straight reggae one w/assassin too, but that's not for this thread really

"kiss me there" is my favourite funky vocal ever i think

I'm still rather partial to the vocal for Lil Silva's "Different":

Dunno if it's 2010 or 09 though..

Er, sorry, I meant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SPMRtMqmgI

i think funk butcher = alias of swindle

(it's an alias of someone we know already at any rate, can't quite recall who)

Funk Butcher is a massive DJ on the scene (obv that's a relative thing!) and has been since day dot. If anything Swindle would be an alias for Funk Butcher (if you take my meaning) but I don't think they're the same person (though "No More" and "Pull Me Close" do sound rather similar).

Should funky house scepticism be assigned the same level of global importance as, say, climate change denial?

course bruv

haha am i crazy or is dream (of petchy fame) doing some dazed essex spoken word over black coffee's 'superman' not some magically brilliant shit? 67mins, new marcus show

like it's a great song anyway but i'd never have thought it'd be quite right for a funky set - somehow dream's managed to quotidianize its innate deep house sophistication into a daydream by the pier with an ice cream. seems to ring true right at the heart of that bassline/nu-soul sugar axis

all that and marcus still plays a bit of lil silva 'against yaself' over the top and then mixes out into 'house girls 8'. best music ever

This thread is amazing but it's so long and hard to scan through - what was that business about a UK funky night in London aimed at gays that I hope I didn't imagine? Is this still an actual thing? Here in Glasgow I've yet to find a decent club night where I'll hear this stuff with a bit more regularity than the Numbers/LuckyMe axis allows, and I'm currently planning a summer jaunt down south with an "underground homo thug" so this would be icing on the cake.

really really love the dummy-sell in the aramac 'hurt inside' tune played at 27 mins where you're expect a sledgehammer drop and get sweet 2step canderel instead. also who is "khaneo" with that twilit number at 95 mins?

Cosmic revenge for me working out "Carnao" - I tried endless spelling variations of "Aramac" to track down "Hurt Inside" after hearing it on the 1 June show, only to get led back to this thread!

AWESOME tune.

This guy is great btw. On his Facebook page he describes his "band members":

Members: Cubase, Korge Keyboard, Halion Sampler, Edirol Speakers, Cora, Bongos, Balafunk

http://www.facebook.com/aramacmusic#!/aramacmusic?v=app_2405167945

"Friday Night" is great too.

just cos he says balafunk...

i've just done the lazy thing and listened to the altered natives album instead of having a traxsource session. i guess it's ok but maybe a bit indelicate with the acid cues - would rather something more along the lines of 'afterlife riddim' and 'restless native'. ('i'm just a crush' is fun though.)

felt a little last week like i'd glimpsed some fleeting new acidy societal geometry while digesting carneo and the new ne-yo song at the same time, but i forget what i was on now tbh.

rtc where do you listen to all these marcus sets?

http://rinse.fm/index.php/podcasts every week

funk butcher and funkystepz are also good supplemental listens too

that most recent marcus is a funky vocals showcase for the first 40 mins before it gets all mixxy, just so u know.

talking of funk butcher btw - on his most recent show a guest-starring marcus mentioned 'pull me close' as fb's first production so i guess that's that issue solved. (fb also goes on to play a refix he'd done of of mavado's 'weh dem a do' which again has a loose-limbed broken beatish vibe to it; they then discuss doing a modern funky bashment set before dropping a funky mix of I LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT instead.)

Surprised that people don't seem to be responding to the Lil' Silva remix of T2 - would have thought its sturm und drang would be appealing to people?

It's verging on symphonic.

oi you shittaz how comes no one posted this up earlier - canny donaeo x leftside/dr evil x 'pass out' combo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKblg-5dU90

goes off though!

shantie & dream killin it on marcus right now btw, oh gosh

Haven't heard the Donae'o, will check when I get home.

Excited about the prospect of Shantie and Dream on Marcus. A recent Petchy show was posted on Dissensus and I was listening thinking "okay Toppsy and Hot S can you get off the microphone for a second and let Dream have a go..." for most of the time.

What do you guys think of this?

Manipulation Listen & Download

lol i was googling for the tracks in tim's top ten upthread and the first search result for devine collective gouse girls was this thread. do you have a link dude?

There was a video on facebook, but it appears to have been taken down. Probably your best bet is just to download a recent marcus nasty set from the rinse podcast page. He seems to play the tune (along with ill blu's unnamed monster tune - often mixed together) every week at the moment. You'll know it because it's the tune that samples the hail-on-tin-roof percussion from Dennis Ferrer's "Hey Hey".

A couple of things:

1) That Donaeo tune is MASSIVE, INTENSE etc etc Dude is a genius.

2) The Marcus/Funk Butcher/Rankin/Shantie/Dream set is psychotically good. The last 45 minutes or so in particular just go off.

Not sure which bit is more O_O: Shantie on top of the Dumplin Remix of "Reign", Dream on top of Naughty Raver's "Drama", Dream on top of Aramac's "Hurt Inside", all of them on top of Scotty D's "The Sound"...

Does anyone know what the first track on the June 9th Marcus Nasty podcast is??

God, what a great set.

that donaeo track is cool but the vocals arent as good as the beat. sounds like a hip hop posse cut as funky. not sure if it works.

Louise Williams- "I Wonder" (produced by MVP)‏ from the 19th May Marcus Nasty set is, erm, wonderful. She reminds me of Ny ie can really really sing...

Whats good guys? sorry for the complication in spelling Aramac

i'd not heard devine collective/mad one 'eyes on you' (58" on the recent weeksey/hhb set) before, is it a new one? not a great deal to it i spose but it's cute and different.

if one can afford to be picky about the marcus mc set i thought there shouldve been more dream lyrics and less sweep dem gally ones if u catch my drift - he took a fair while to find the right note inbetween shants (GOLDEN GOD ON THIS SET!!!) and ranks imo.

also that mac 10 riddim - called '24 hours' i think - is a monsterrrr.
