Okay excited about checking that Ill Blu set.
I don't think there's a single bad funky version of that tune.
Trying to remember if there are others apart from Naughty, O.B. and Dubplate Wonder? Each of those are excellent, yes.

Crazy Cousinz version too, which is also great, if not as great as other Crazy Cousinz productions.

never heard the dubplate wonder remix, iirc. o.b. = personal fav.
that ill blu set looks great. thx.

Rusty if you haven't heard the dubplate wonder remix you haven't heard his Wonderland 2009 set either! This must be rectified!

the blurb is kinda pointless, tho :
"Elusive may be a word that is easily chucked about in todays scene but despite being regarded as one of the most feted UK Funky / House production teams in the country they rarely let go of their original material. There's a handful of remixes for underground and major label artists, the masterful Bellion twelve inch for Hyperdub and the odd appearance on pirate radio but that’s pretty much it."

Yeah it's kinda... not true?
― Tim F, Friday, 11 February 2011 16:37 (thirteen years ago) link
"Chelt" really is such a banger.
― Tim F, Friday, 11 February 2011 16:40 (thirteen years ago) link
That Ill Blu mix is so fucking intense. I don't think it's possible to concoct a scarier beat than "Monsta".
― Tim F, Sunday, 13 February 2011 21:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Though the other new tunes all give it a red hot go. Interesting use of stuttery "pon de floor" snares on several of them. Only Ill Blu can be this macho and assimilationist and yet remain so vibey, it's actually kinda remarkable.
― Tim F, Sunday, 13 February 2011 21:23 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm listening to cooly g's boiler mix and there's a track that caught my attention around 34:00. The lyrics are something like this: "Just like the rain your love fall down. I wanna feel the rain." Can anyone ID it? Thanks.

wow, thanks. I thought it was a remix of a popular rnb track.

oh wait wait, appparently that's not the track that i've been looking for. when I asked Cooly via Twitter she said it was a DJ Kismet remix but she didn't tell me the title.

Re: Bhangra Knights - are we far enough away from the early 00s so that bhangra-sampling funky sounds inspired and fresh rather than lazy arse? I think so.

havent marinated on this mix long but also of note:

in conclusion, download this mix it is nifty. apologies for lack of usual diabolical magniloquence.
― r|t|c, Friday, 18 February 2011 12:27 (thirteen years ago) link
xp haha glad it wasnt just me that felt some long-dormant vestigial shame rear up at getting excited about that track title. but yeah no i totally agree.
― r|t|c, Friday, 18 February 2011 12:33 (thirteen years ago) link
ill blu really are kinda outgrowing the scene now though (in terms of the music itself rather than popularity). can't help thinking of them as a redone without a gaga, a danja without a britney - i'd love to hear them with a vocalist (not a rapper) with enough character to push back against their productions.
i expected more of them for the new princess nyah single (can't remember the title, not worth linking anyway) but frustratingly they only regressed to a sort of budget shondrae/bangladesh.
― r|t|c, Friday, 18 February 2011 12:52 (thirteen years ago) link
Was that Take Control or whatever it was? I didn't like it very much.
― Tim F, Friday, 18 February 2011 16:30 (thirteen years ago) link
#12 - finners do we know what this one is? sounds right up ur rarefied alley
Really? this sounds good but not especially amazing I reckon. Rarefied, yeah.
#14 - YES DUMPLIN THIS IS THE RUFFNESS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#20 - is this some next 'house girls' already?? monster
LOVE this.
#24 - YES FUZZY LOGIK U LITTLE BEAUTY
Classic fruity fuzzy vibes.
#26 - lol fuck right off what is this madness
!!!!! When this tune drops it's the biggest shock ever. Total Banger, but I'm also getting an Eric Morillo kinda vibe...
#29 - attention tim x2
haha do you just assume I like the spacey deep tunes. This is great though, so guilty as charged I guess.

most of the singing/music written to the signing on that Reflex mix is just shocking. i like offkey ish, i like in key ish, but the producer/singer really should settle on one before Miss Singer goes all Mariah-esque embellishment...

Really enjoying Miss Fire at the moment, she's brilliant.
― jimitheexploder, Friday, 4 March 2011 23:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Really rare to find a great singer who's also a good enough producer and songwriter both to be able to smash it on instrumental tracks and step back and let other singers take over.
That Petchy piece was very good though I scratched my head at the reference to "so-called UK Funky". Really?
― Tim F, Friday, 4 March 2011 23:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Very rare indeed, I hope she gets picked up for some releases soon her tracks deserve wax for sure.
No idea what the "so-called UK Funky" line is about either, it seems pointless, wrong and a out of place. It was prob just a flipant slip though I wouldn't bother reading much into it.
― jimitheexploder, Friday, 4 March 2011 23:51 (thirteen years ago) link
I suspect it was an editorial intervention actually, it seems out of keeping with the tone of the article otherwise.

Myshy's "Playground" is SO my jam at the moment. Fuzzy is such a handy opposite-of-everything-boring-in-funky poster boy, he's like a compass in a snowstorm.

this thread has gotten quiet. love that no mcs mix from marcus nasty from last month. might just be his changing tastes or maybe producers have suddenly gotten 'better' recently, but from what im hearing as im playing catch up, funky seems to have lost some of its rougher edges. producers seem to be aiming for higher production values. also noticing more dubstep/bassline influence. also seems to be less beats with the typical galloping drums. or maybe marcus is just playing from a wider range of sources.
