funky house sceptics, let me draw your attention to this

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..

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.

As in Dream in narrative-building mode rather than catch-cry mode?

My favourite of his current lyrics are:

1) She said 'Dream you're an arsehole...' etc.

2) Par for them/Omarion/We just laugh at them/WE JUST LAUGH AT THEM/AND THEN WE LAUGH AGAIN etc.

Which category would you put those in?

Yeah "24 Hours" is ace, kind of washes away the sour taste left by "Sequencer".

well yeah they're both geezerish, but tbh maybe it's just i felt acting out the chuckle on "laugh at them" every time wasnt bearing repetition in the same way rankin's do so forever lovably

in partic i was missing the other "par 4 them" one but i'd have to listen to that petchy again to recall the others

it's a par for them, it's a par for them
uh ohh! man are writing bars again
tell em tell em tell em
pass a pen
man are back in fashion like cardigans
it's hard for them, not to be jarred again
ride with me
don't get scarred again
keep telling them man music's in my genes
and i guess that it's just not a part of them, part of them
see we never part again
lyrics go over the chest and the heart again
we tell em nah that lyric never his
so i suggest you start again, start again
moving smart again, 2010
you could put me in the charts again

etc

slowly grown to love this one

but tbh maybe it's just i felt acting out the chuckle on "laugh at them" every time wasnt bearing repetition in the same way rankin's do so forever lovably

Or indeed Shantie's loveable faux-surprise on "WHAT'S GWANING CUZ??"

it's a par for them, it's a par for them
uh ohh! man are writing bars again
tell em tell em tell em
pass a pen
man are back in fashion like cardigans
it's hard for them, not to be jarred again
ride with me
don't get scarred again
keep telling them man music's in my genes
and i guess that it's just not a part of them, part of them
see we never part again
lyrics go over the chest and the heart again
we tell em nah that lyric never his
so i suggest you start again, start again
moving smart again, 2010
you could put me in the charts again

<3 forever.

OMG I adore this Drake remix:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdRFqYopBRI

Absolutely love that stripe of funky tune that's like vaguely lethargic menacing bug-eyed 3am post-"Killer R&B-house - this, the Major Note$ remix of J-Will's "Deja Vu", the O.B. remix of Addictive's "Domino Effect"...

And you can download it here:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/m0qdl6

That should be post-"Killer" R&B-house... as in Adamski/Seal's "Killer".

not quiiiite exactly what you're talking about perhaps but i love this eastwood 'right there' vocal number round the hour mark on the 12th june marcus - it gets a perfect prologue coming after lr groove's 'just believe' and carneo if that's any indication.

(lr groove in particular deserves merit for his stuff this year - just brilliantly well-crafted rollers. havent got a decent handle on eastwood's oevure yet but i hear his name a lot - if memory serves didn't he used to be a particularly boshing grime producer or summink...?)

Ha I was coming back here to talk about "Right Here" after listening to it last night... Massive tune! And more delicate than anything else I've heard from Eastwood (yeah he is or was a pretty lairy grime producer normally I think).

LR Groove seems to be king of the tribal cuts - "rollers" is a good word for this sound though, they do remind me of say DJ SS circa 1994.

that drake remix!

I know how good is it!

http://www.zshare.net/audio/77330247f37aa221/

here's one of those screamingly popular radio rips for that eastwood if anyone's... interesteddddd.

while i remember can i also just nominate fingaprint & tenneka's 'your body' for an awesome 2010 funky vocal commendation (why doesnt anyone play it more category). you can hear it first track on here:

http://www.mixcloud.com/djtrizzy/deep-funky-soulvol-2-summer-vibes/player/

http://www.mixcloud.com/wirelesssound/wireless-sound-100-funky-vol-2/

can also recommend this other mix for those still just too, too delicate for that ruff rugged radio raw uncut

Mr F your enthusiasam for this stuff makes me :D :D :D

I've really been digging that Champion promo mix. Petchy in general, he has to be the best funky DJ right now, its just pure good time vibes when he's on, I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNnCzQS_dQE :D, wish he'd make his way up north a bit so I could catch him live mind... and peeps like Lil Silva, Altered Natives and Ill Blu all get picked up for releases by labels. DVA is killing it too Natty is still gettin rinsed over here, plus this just dropped: http://soundcloud.com/becoming-real/fast-motion-dvas-hi-emotions-remix kind of epic and really mixable. I've been playin Shitta by Marcus Nasty & Bassboy quite a bit too I didn't expect a bassline producer to hook up with Marcus and make such an addictive lil gem. MC Creed's Generate prob by Esko is pretty cool too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpS67rFVL10. Annie Mac was repping that Donaeo track 'I'm Fly' on Radio One from some massive live event with loads of kids the other day when I was listening in my car on the way to somewhere it was pretty cool they seemed to dig it.
