^^ diggin' it. prob should be in the dance partisans thread, tho.

It already is lol

Its strange this is the first track I've heard from Lil Silva that I didn't think right away that it was uk funky.

sampha sounds like james blake doing seal. marks - 1/5. still sounds like funky to me tho, just not hard.

this one is even weirder for silva

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfHfJXV2ivs

this is like his 'hyperdub, please release this' tune.

I was going to say that Sampha always reminds me of James Blake they share something vocaly but Sampha had a little something else there too and I think you nailed it lol Seal! I kinda like it in a summer jam kind of way.

Heard that 'Cheese & Bun' track on Benji B's show really feeling it.

Feeling this too: http://soundcloud.com/majornotes/kelewele

i dont want to hear silva working with singers

actually im more worried he will stop making bangers and try and go all sophisticated now

same for champion, though he at least owes me about 2-3 eps first before hes allowed to go down that route

Yeah I like Lil Silva and Champion for the bangers too.

Cheese & Bun almost reminds me of Peverelist, but you know a UK Funky Pev haha

Pretty sure Lighter is finding its way out at some point after the Motherboard 12" so thats 2 outa 3 on the way.

champion is seriously good i think - i love his bass tones
so if silva does go all upmarket (or if he does a roska), then i suppose champion can neatly fill the void
i need more producers like this in my life though
well producers whose records i can buy at least

Yeah Champion is just pure hype and energy.

Ill Blu have that vibe too but they can be really meladramatic with it, which is cool and everything but sometimes you just want stright bangers. We need Apple and D Malice back lol

Carnao is starting to come into his own with some hype bits: http://www.carnaobeats.com/ but he can be a bit dutch electro house for me at times. Its kinda fun though.

Best Lil' Silva tune of the last 12 months was his remix of T2's "Better Off As Friends", wish he'd do more blitzkrieg pop tunes.

AHH FOUND IT

one has to admit i'm a dan.

(tim yours is the tameka whyte - uploaded nearly exactly a year ago alas)

I don't have to listen to that to know that every track is good.

contra Titchy I really hope Marcus lifts himself out of his funk of "deep dubby house" soon and goes back to this style + bangers.

yeah fairly often the first hours of his shows still just about have that tension, and then nearly always the first sunday roast track to arrive is the harbinger of tedium.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tth9A-K-0g

irony of ironies this is v good of course.

There was about a 15 minute section of his recent show with Majestic when this refined tribal house sound worked really well, like that great Cooly G Rinse set from 2009 only with an MC, but 80% of the time it's just like, "this is nice but why would i go out of my way for it?"

Still all about Screama's Never Say Bye. Demon squiggly synths!

Always all about that tune. Best synths ever.

had to make a sample of this as i couldn't let it pass unnoticed. bashment crossover is definitely my favourite aspect of funky.

Equiknoxx - Jim Screechie (Funkystepz Remix)
http://www.zshare.net/audio/8849065859cfa06f/

standard funkystepz treatment. ascending synth, pianos, thicker bassline. so vibesy.

Have any of you guys seen Marcus Nasty in a club? Its like its a diffrent guy that turns up and not in a good way. He sucks hard, every time I've seen him he plays bait played out tunes and can't mix. I don't understand it. Its put me off tuning into him on the radio now-a-days. When you've got guys like Ill Blu, Funkystepz, Petchy, etc doing their thing Marcus just isn't that essential anymore. But that show looks like a good'un so I'm getting on it haha

even at fwd? i still havent seen him play in a club. one time i went to see him play at fwd there he didnt turn up. then i went to beyond once and couldnt be bothered waiting for him to come on so i left lol.

i almost feel a lot of what marcus seems to play on rinse these days has too high production values at the expense of the raw energy he used to like.

I've not seen him at FWD>> so I don't know. He's played Ruffage Sessions though which was a quality night ran by the Hessle Audio guys in Leeds for years. Then somewhere else I can't remember. Both times the other DJs on the bill out did him big time. Pretty sure Ben UFO played more upfront UK funky dubplates than Marcus that night.

last night i heard shortstuff referred to as a "future bass" producer

!!

maybe it was one word

Scottie B ft Jae Elle - Feel Nice, Feel Right

THIS TUNE IS AMAZING.

Free download here:

irony of ironies this is v good of course.

Yeah this tune is good. Sunday Roast are pretty decent at vocal tunes - e.g. "After All This Time".

I was pretty O_O at this tune:

Zarif - Over (Toby IOI Remix)

Judging by the two Mike Delinquent remixes on Signal's (great) new mix he's gone full-fledged 2-step...

V. pleased to ID Eastwood's ace "I Wanna Be The Man" too.

i'm really intrigued - listening to this music fresh - why the tribal divides between funky and dubstep. to my ears (old and untutored in this music they may be), ill blu seem to merge both, and link back to dancehall with the drumbeats.

jeez i know i sound like a nerd.

fair play to mike delinquent for making hay while the sun shines (and how!) but he has damn near wrung the magic right out of the og & best 'traktor' remix :/

get a budding crazy cousinz vibe from wireless sound's producer, one to watch i feel.

15. Andy Jay & S-Tee – Crunk V.I.P.

gaaaaahhhhh love this riddim so unreservedly

just that little extra buzzsaw wobble unleashes something totally wild

Ill Blu do sound a bit like dubstep at times, but it seems largely inadvertent to me, an odd side-effect of their jacking old-meets-nu-Belgian brutalism.

For its part dubstep got its tribal phase out of the way back in about 2004 or so.

http://soundcloud.com/the-fives/the-fives-ft-hayley-miller-its

^^ dunno what to think about this yet. the descending xylophone line's lovely in that 'sunday showers' kinda way, but the strings seem too, err, forceful?

don't remember ever listenin' to this, also : http://soundcloud.com/the-fives/feels-good

10. Fumin’ & Crazy Cousinz – After Party

^^crazy cousinz gone grime ? :/

really diggin' mike delinquent project 2-step rmx's

how come there aren't any new fuzzy logik releases? not acceptable...

There's an amazing fuzzy logick production in the same mix!

^^ 'playground' = love it. i was talking about an actual release (EP or something...). my fav. uk funky producer(s?), most likely ('twiss', 'pachi', 'in the morning', 'polyfunk', etc. are all great)

can anyone track ID this first track from Marcus Nastys 23rd March Rinse show? https://www.yousendit.com/download/UFh1NWN0NEg4Q1N4dnc9PQ

^^ probably wrong, but it sounds like an instrumental version of the 'what you talking about' rmx by statue beats booty

smi's '60 hz' sounds nothing like dj eastwood's 'toilet blocker', it's true

Here's something I don't really understand. As lovely as "Deep in the Valley" is, how did that get an official release, but "Midnight Affair" never did?

smi's '60 hz' sounds nothing like dj eastwood's 'toilet blocker', it's true

― r|t|c

^^ ya right, obv. but the bassline is kinda similar, i guess (not that i can really recall how 'what u talkin' about' sounds like).

there was something from 'toilet blocker' that sounded strangely familiar : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dohzrXT09w

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzFB2XUybCQ

Fucking huge.

I'd love to see more Mr Mageeka come out he's ace.
