yeah saw that last night, haven't got round to listening yet
this isn't quite the right thread for this but the redlight/roses gabor track found a home here and i've no idea where to put it otherwise - benga and katy b, "katy on a mission". it's great.

― r|t|c, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 12:47 (thirteen years ago) link
benga really liked wearing my rolex didnt he? i seem to be hearing variations of that in several tracks of his. its dubstep btw, not that hard to know where to put it. all you need to know is it should not be in the funky thread.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 13:15 (thirteen years ago) link
Love katy b and the synths are okay but benga's beats are basically mariah I can't .gif for me I afraid.
I will never get back the hours I spent trying to find something to like in diary of an afro warrior.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 14:04 (thirteen years ago) link
bengas often a bit leaden but these days hes leaden AND over polished.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 14:06 (thirteen years ago) link
these beats are nothing like afro warrior tho? it's far closer to zinc's "crack house" stuff or that redlight single
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 14:24 (thirteen years ago) link
i liked quite a bit of afro warrior - prefer that to a lot of current benga (even if bmore clap was great).
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 14:34 (thirteen years ago) link
To my ears "Stupid" is squarely and solidly uk funky, regardless of Redlight's background - the whole skippy soca 5 beat per bar snare pattern over a 4X4 kick is practically funky core DNA at this stage.
By comparison "Katy on a Mission" is squarely and solidly dubstep in the patented 2007 halfstep meets 4X4 mould - if you follow the beat it goes kick - kick - SNARE - kick.
Listen to "Night" or "E Trips" or "Go Tell Them" or "Pleasure" of Afro Warrior - same beat pattern.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 14:39 (thirteen years ago) link
its a pretty standard dubstep pattern. if it didnt have katy b on it and came out a bit earlier no one would think it funky. its def not as funky-ish as say, night was.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 14:42 (thirteen years ago) link
is this the rhythm nerd vs sonix nerd thing again? cuz the metallic, springing synths that form the basis of both "katy on a mission" and "stupid" are pretty much the same
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 14:43 (thirteen years ago) link
I see that resemblance but they also sound like "Wearing My Rolex" so I'm not sure where that gets us. In that case Kele's "Tenderoni" is funky too, as awful as that is even to hypothesise.
Basically there is no sonix that make a tune funky, but there's definitely rhythms that make tunes funky. I'm sorry if that sounds like I'm trying to call the game in my favour!
― Tim F, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 14:54 (thirteen years ago) link
i didn't say "katy on a mission" was funky! but then i didn't really think "stupid" was either. neither would be out of place dropped into a funky set though.

Oooof stumbled across this thread by accident and it's almost made me lose the will to live. Is this how you lot 'enjoy' music? All sounds far too serious and analytical for what is essentially rave music, we ain't talking high art here are we?

haha, dogs cheering you on - it's true! also carnao/ttd, YES spot on.
i do love how hard you go for 'midnight affair', always think of it as the tim song. i like it (as i'm sure others do) but somehow just never quite to the same ineffable degree.

you might wanna use ^this in lieu of a housegirls 6 youtube btw? (from the most recent dj nate mixtape - the most marcusest of non-marcus djs, i find.) also lr groove 'just believe' is on there: watch?v=-4aCYgk0tr8

and yeah, loving that horace brown remix - wasn't sure at first but then that sense of melancholic celebration just shimmers and ripples all around you like whirlpools
such a random unremarkable choice of og song as well! written and produced by frenchmen at the twilight of his career.

I'm not sure whether dog metaphors or the way sentences simply stop halfway through are bigger testaments to how tired I was when I finally finished that post. Some very nice person has gone and made youtube videos for the songs that weren't already on there (with the skykicking logo no less) and turned the whole thing into a playlist:

I like the Funky Twinz with Angel J track - please point me in the direction of other funky vocal tracks with shimmery early 90s r&b synths.
The whole thing is pretty great but could do without the grime detour in the middle.

I can only assume Lex is now posting obviously-not-funky stuff in this thread as a point of principle...
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 27 July 2010 07:20 (thirteen years ago) link
i didn't post it and am only ever vaguely aware of what thread i'm on ever. shrug. it's a great ep, rtc is wrong here.
i'm assuming that dj nate is not the juke dj nate.
i am actually going through the trax tim recommended a few days ago, no specific thoughts yet but i pretty much love them all except "house girls", when i played the youtube i was like...is that it? this is what y'all have been hyping up so much? and then i listened to "hey hey" instead. i particularly loved mj cole's "volcano riddim" (after his dreadful set at bloc, i doubt i'd have ever checked for his own material off my own bat again), those smi joints and weirdly that drake remix. not even ill blu can save cheryl cole's drabness though.
has everyone heard this by smi?

"Sea Sick" is great, one of my favourite Naughty productions, though someone's gotta put his remix of D'Explicit's "Follow Me" on youtube as that's his finest moment I think.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 27 July 2010 09:38 (thirteen years ago) link
hmm, the dexplicit mix is choice but i tend to think of it as an inferior sibling to his 'omg' one.
picking a fave production seems daunting but the h20 'falling' mix and 'it's you' w/ miss fire ("wishing, waiting, an / ticipating the..." <3<3) are up there for sure. and yeah 'sea sick' is terrific also.
it's difficult because the rare thing about naughty is that his "lesser" productions shore up this impression of his peculiar sensibility permeating through any given other - the hush of the ma1 mix, almost cartoonishly mournful 'i need love' with sascha, 'love lockdown' (slyly his most inspired tune?), and then all the shuffling bangers like 'quicktime', '5th gear', trouble's back'... even 'goosebumps' (which i thing he's putting out next, weirdly) i wouldnt really be a massive fan of on the face of it but still seems admissable to the naughty canon somehow.
