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.
― r|t|c, Thursday, 17 June 2010 01:07 (thirteen years ago) link
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".
― Tim F, Thursday, 17 June 2010 02:20 (thirteen years ago) link
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

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"...

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...?)
― r|t|c, Thursday, 17 June 2010 14:56 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

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:

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.

roska was wicked at sónar btw, so weird and good to see him playing on such a massive stage. he played a really housey set that seemed to alternate between sweeter, soulful sounds and anthems, and the dryer, percussive stuff that focuses on odd rhythms that's beloved of tim (and that reminds me most, weirdly, of dudes like untold and ramadanman in its relentless focus on the beats over, well, anything else). and then he played a blend of "axel f" and "pon de floor".
ms dynamite's "get low" was THE anthem of the festival btw.
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Sunday, 20 June 2010 19:18 (thirteen years ago) link
The Ramadanman resemblance in particular isn't that surprising - even his dubstep stuff often resembles funky ("Blimey" is a good example of this) while "Wad" is still the best dubstep-producer-attempts-funky-track ever.
But yeah a lot of the stuff I consider "anthems" this year (Devine Collective's "House Girls 6", Emvee's "Windrush Riddim", Aramac's "Hurt Inside", Naughty Raver's "Drama", Smooth Kriminal's "Stop Dat", the Andy J & S-Tee remix of "Reign", all the Marcus Nasty/Bassboy tunes, Undisputed's "Sunglasses" carrying over from last year, all of LR Groove's best tracks) are basically just "rollers" in the old jungle circa 1994 sense (see discussion with r|t|c upthread re LR Groove's "rollers").
In a lot of ways it's this stuff that is destined to be forgotten in the future, in much the same way that similar tracks were in the context of 2-step. Ultimately people remember vocal anthems of MC-driven tracks whether they approve of them or not, but a lot of listeners require a certain auteur-appreciation-consensus to really get behind rollers in any specific sense (rather than them just soundtracking a night out). Roska himself has, relatively speaking, benefited from this insofar as his own facility with this form allows him to act as a kind of focal point for people's appreciation of this sound (though obv a lot of Roska's productions like "I Need It" or "Wonderful Day" etc don't fit this mould at all).
he played a really housey set that seemed to alternate between sweeter, soulful sounds and anthems, and the dryer, percussive stuff that focuses on odd rhythms that's beloved of tim (and that reminds me most, weirdly, of dudes like untold and ramadanman in its relentless focus on the beats over, well, anything else). and then he played a blend of "axel f" and "pon de floor".
This sounds basically like "what you'd want" from a uk funky set generally (and I mean "you" as in I/we rather than as in "lex"). Roska's a pretty good DJ IMO.
― Tim F, Sunday, 20 June 2010 23:15 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah it was def what i wanted at the time, though i respond to that dry, bare-bones percussiveness a lot better outside of a uk funky context -one ramadanman set at plastic people a while back in particular blew my mind because there was so much space and so many intricate rhythms - but that's a context i was expecting a certain degree of aridity in anyway, and not so much sexiness or soulfulness. that's where i could really appreciate a track like "squark".
as a dj roska's ideally placed to bring them into a funky context i guess, given his more melodic and textural side. i'm not sure i'd really miss the perc-only stuff - they were the sections of the set where people's dancing slowed to a vague shuffle and where you started to worry that some people might wander off somewhere else.
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 21 June 2010 08:19 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh if you're talking about "Squark" kinda stuff that's not really what I mean.
I mean, "Get Low" before it was "Get Low" (when it was "Crackish") is basically the kind of thing I mean when I think of percussive uk funky jamz.

pon reflection i don't think i would extended the rollers term as far as tim's done - which isn't to say the tracks he's picked don't ever roll per se but only that bona fide rollers ought (imo) to be those tracks that seem to exalt in their own pure rollage - there should be a kinda compulsive/meditative tunnel vision vibe to them, unperturbed by any jacking or stabbing or grooving or moshing or whatever. (chief recent example beyond the lr grooves - hardhouse banton's 'colonel', which never fails to bring to mind a runaway minecart on an underground railroad or something).
i won't lie that i'm also just trying to give a swerve to the unrewarding-feeling leaden dnb baggage of the term. perhaps the distinction should be... "tracky"?
― r|t|c, Friday, 25 June 2010 17:41 (thirteen years ago) link
in other news (that people probably already know) maxsin the other week said there's a funkystepz ep coming out soon with 'malibu', 'leave with you', 'trinity hill', and maybe a tune called 'sweet love' on it.
also the video to the donaeo's out but the track sounds too slow on it to do much out-of-context damage imo - like, you're not supposed to have enough time to think about it.

This set is awesome. I don't know if I've ever heard Marcus mix so quickly from one track to the next again and again and again. Some of the blends are inspired, e.g. Drew Austin's Drake remix into "Inflation".

ALSO Donae'o's "So Fly" ---> Geeneus' "Crackish" = ridiculously good transition.
One weird thing about this set being so tribalistic and instrumental is that it reminds me more than usual of certain types of minimal, like stuff that Kindisch might have put out circa 2007.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 22:46 (thirteen years ago) link
course you then find yourself bowled over by what's left maximalist in there - the goofyness of devine's 'eyes on you' and the mj riddim retrospectively adopting like an old bollywood nth-generation vhs vibe, or yeah that amazing section with the drake remix deliquescing into treble ullulaion, into 'inflation', into lil silva 'night skanker', pincered by the brazilian madness of the havana cultura remix and whatever that dutty new altered natives one is [id plz]... haha and that spyro mix of modjo 'lady' (!!) later on..... mm anyway
