Yeah that was pretty awful. Something the DJ would spin VERY early in the evening while s/he's sorting through records and no one really wants to dance just yet. Polite house over martinis. And there are no dynamics to it; nothing slams into place. The vocals are bland. The lyrics are banal. And finally, it's not all that funky!
Now go record something good please.

― blueski, Tuesday, 22 April 2008 09:45 (5 years ago) Permalink
It's more attenuated than the Hed Kandi norm. But I bet it wouldn't prick up my ears if it was thrown on one of their comps. And I don't live in London so I can't comment on how different-yet-same it is.
I mean, I guess it's okaaaaaaaaaaay on a second listen. But definitely nothing to write home (or start a thread) about.

I like this quite a bit, though it's not the best funky house (in the strict london '08 sense) tune I've heard. I like that the genre is increasingly coalescing around that post "Cure & The Cause" sound but with a stronger Carribean influence - I'm hoping it becomes even more syncopated. Funny how bassline and funky house have so cleanly split speed garage influences between them.
Secret prescient and lost funky house tune before the fact: Mis-Teeq's "Eye Candy".
― Tim F, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 13:19 (5 years ago) Permalink
Pleasant enough but I agree the lyrics and vocal hooks could be stronger, although the singing itself is fine. The worst thing for me is I don't like the piano and snare sounds they've used, especially the piano (something about its tone grates with me).

― deej, Thursday, 1 May 2008 01:01 (5 years ago) Permalink
One thing that's important to note is that UK equivalents of vocal house, esp. in the post-speed garage tradition, have never been interested in lyrical profundity or vocal power in the way that the US tradition has been. There's very few stirring diva performances - most of it is more focused on how very simple vocal phrases are situated in the mix. So people looking for good "songs" from this genre will inevitably be disappointed. But, you know, Dem 2's "Destiny" didn't need to be a "good song" to be fabulous, and nor does this stuff.
Blackdown had a great little bit on the lyrics to this track on his blog.

I'm hoping it becomes even more syncopated
and in addition to that overly obnoxious gear snob post I just made can I just throw in another old jackoff opinion that if this track is what counts for "syncopated" in dance music in 2008 then I would also LOVE to hear what "more syncopated" means
perhaps it will include a BASS DURMP on the OFFBEATIES

― Tim F, Thursday, 1 May 2008 06:43 (5 years ago) Permalink
I'm honestly a little surprised the snare on the offbeat of 2 still counts for anything, I guess. I've always thought it was just obnoxious outside of jungle/dnb

Well it's not like "wow this is the most syncopated music ever", but it's more syncopated than mainstream house, speed garage or bassline, let's put it that way. Given the hyper-stiffness of bassline in particular, it's interesting to see the syncopation/carribean vibe of this stuff emerging as its point of distinction from "funky house" in the broad sense.
When I say "more syncopated" I'm thinking of 2001-era soca-beat 2-step basically - see stuff like TJ Cases's "One By One", or Bump & Flex dub mixes from that period.
Not so much this track, but other Crazy Cousinz tracks strike me as verging on broken beat - esp. the broken beat-like vocal housey tracks Zed Bias was making circa 2002.
Actually there's a kind of back-to-early-2002 feel across the whole post-UK Garage spectrum, e.g.
- "Wearing My Rolex" sounds a bit like "Rush The DJ", "Standard Flow" etc.
- Tectonic/Punch Drunk dubstep reviving the first Horsepower Productions album, 2562 reviving Zed Bias (in a different, "deeper", and more substantially syncopated way than funky house does).
- Bassline sounding like "Dutty", and also like El-Tuff remixes.
Of course early 2002 (as 2-step was losing its grip as the reigning sound, but before the fully-fledged emergence of grime) was the last time this cluster of styles was really not quite clear as to where it was going, so a return to this temporary impasse makes sense.
― Tim F, Thursday, 1 May 2008 07:02 (5 years ago) Permalink

Apart from the vocals this tune sound more like something coming out of the Spanish scene. Like this maybe.

The Marcus Nasty funky house DJ set on DejaVu FM that Martin Clark talks about and links to here is sick.
There's a track in the first section that actually sounds 95% of the way to my dreams for the genre, halfway between TJ Cases' "One By One" and Davinche's old 'R&G' productions ("Leave Me Alone", "Mr. DJ" etc.). But the whole thing is really exciting and vibey feeling.
Martin's right as well when he says that this stuff sounds more exciting with MCs chatting over the top.
― Tim F, Saturday, 3 May 2008 13:15 (5 years ago) Permalink
I cannot stop listening to this Marcus Nasty set. If you've wondering how on earth "funky house" can form it's own distinct genre you've gotta check it, I've never heard a house set that captures this specific vibe. It's really making me flash back to 2-step in the best possible way (i.e. the feel rather than the specific sound).

BTW Deej I think Marcus Nasty just uploaded enough of his set to fit onto a CD, hence the missing part one and the way it cuts off suddenly. No idea why it's split into parts.
― Tim F, Monday, 5 May 2008 08:29 (5 years ago) Permalink
I got to say that I think I prefer the kyla to "bongo jam" but anyways...
Re: buying records - Rinse are putting out a Supa D mix CD and the blurb that comes with it says this is the first time any of these are getting a release of any sort. The Kyla original (prod by paleface) is getting a rerelease on Ministry this year so they might put the Crazy Cousinz mix on that...
― J@cob, Monday, 5 May 2008 09:59 (5 years ago) Permalink
Jacob "Bongo Jam" sounds fairly pasty on myspace, on marcus nasty's mix it sounds awesome. Mind you the Kyra track improves from myspace to mix by roughly the same margin.
― Tim F, Monday, 5 May 2008 10:15 (5 years ago) Permalink
Yeah I heard both on his mix too - and I completely agree. I just like the sexualness of the Kyla track which makes it the kind of song people will really get into in that leather shoes and designer shirts garage type environment. Every time I hear it I can really picture that scene, although the picture in my head probably has way too much moschino for it to be relevant to 2008. Bongo Jam straddles a line between goofiness, seriousness and Manu Chao that makes it totally dependent on mix context to work. No bad thing that, but I can see it sounding horribly cheesy 90% of the time, especially on radio.
― J@cob, Monday, 5 May 2008 10:24 (5 years ago) Permalink
Ha that's true but, y'know, go goofiness!
I'm hoping to start seeing proper Caribbean crossover stuff soon. I wonder if the ragga-ish version of "Calabria" is big in this scene.

stelfox tipped me to "bongo man," and it's currently blowing my mind. i do think it's hilarious how close it comes in sound and feel to villalobos' remix of the horrorist's "one night in nyc"!

Two more recommendations:
1) Sticky - How Very Dare You Yes, that Sticky! And this isn't too far from what he was doing circa 2002, great ridiculous diva vocals, huge bass drop, clattering breakbeaty rhythms. Not 4X4 at all but definitely "funky house". Love it.
1) Seany B - Stomper This reminds me a bit of my beloved "Are You Really From The Ends (VIP Remix)" - stomping and insatiable as the title suggests. Very big 4X4 kick but with all these awesome bongo flutters and counter-rhythms.
― Tim F, Saturday, 10 May 2008 14:36 (5 years ago) Permalink
myspace rip of 'bongo jam', if anyone's interested. produced by flukes of wifey riddim fame btw!
not really relevant to this thread but i'm liking sticky's 'i'm in love'. first song on his myspace. 'mr dj' was another one of his tunes more in the funky vein.

I think the last time an area of music so suddenly and completely emotionally/intellectually monopolized me was dancehall in 2003 and before that 2-step in 1999. (grime not so much only because it was harder to find totally hypnotic DJ sets etc.)

Had a listen to the first of these earlier and yeah, this is a vibe. Feels like a totally different era of the music even though it's less than 4 years ago. Prob the only disappointment for me was that there was less material that was totally new to me than I was expecting/hoping for. Loving all the remixes and VIP-sounding versions of big tunes from that period they play though. Now grabbing the 25th November one.

On my first scan through I didn't really care for it much. There are a lot of repeats from singles (including the GREAT "It's Serious"), but I felt a lot of the rest featured too many vocals (not necessarily a bad thing but..) and some really uninteresting rhythms.

This tune by Tickles is absolutely LARGE! Called 'Wot U Do'
Fuzzy Logik got a new track with MyShy called 'Pose' but I can't find a link to that :S
Meleka dropped her song 'Love You Baby' which is cool has that Funky vibe but it doesn't touch 'Go (Crazy Cousins Mix)'
