alas i may have spoken too soon re marcus as sets since have decidedly failed to recapture anything like the 20th's magic :/

It's not, but it's pretty awesome.
Perhaps Funkystepz reasoned they couldn't improve the Assassin tune given it sounds like Funkystepz at 33 rpm anyhow.

i attribute a lot of that set's success to eastwood's fantastic 'dirty cash' version early on btw, you just can't go off on a noodle after that's set the tone
the wheeling up of the mistakenly played lady chann song in lieu of the jazzy pioneer ft egypt song was a classic marcus blast from the past as well - you or i or any other lesser dj would have gone with the chann but only he would have envisioned a bigger picture smashcut like that - an object lesson in linear vs dialectical funky

Hey what's the "deep dubby house" tune Marcus always plays with the accordian spurts, like a spookier version of "Heater"?

― r|t|c, Monday, 9 May 2011 18:46 (twelve years ago) link
Typically you've already got all the ones I had.
Mercurial Myrmidon - Hey Bongo (Deep Mix)
As always this totally goes off.
The Sunday Roast tune before "Crackish" is massive too, at least in this context.
― Tim F, Monday, 9 May 2011 18:58 (twelve years ago) link
i knew the vibes was strong when 'crackish' came round, marcus hasnt drawn for that one in an age
also full disclosure: i hadnt reckoned on the awesomeness of 'caution' at all before this set. SO SO GOOD THOUGH
― r|t|c, Monday, 9 May 2011 19:04 (twelve years ago) link
that mix of 'hey bongo' and 'zulu' together is totally in my "to steal" folder as well, matchmaking at its finest
― r|t|c, Monday, 9 May 2011 19:07 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, the very slight pitching up turns it from another Loca Moca roller into more of a "Warrior" style explosive raver.
That whole section is so bubbling.
Yes!
― Tim F, Monday, 9 May 2011 19:10 (twelve years ago) link
Also pretty awesome rehabilitation of DJ Tonka's "Freeze" as a funky tune. Sounds fantastic with MCs. Should be more classic house bangers with Brixton Mixes.
― Tim F, Monday, 9 May 2011 19:13 (twelve years ago) link
shants and ranks b2b over 'caution' with the "back to the government's plight" vs "at rex in a drop top lex" complementary hype lyrics (how did ranks know the tune would have car horns right after?) is pretty much like a supercomputer calculating the entirety of the quik & kurupt blackout album in nanoseconds
― r|t|c, Monday, 9 May 2011 19:17 (twelve years ago) link
That's one of my absolute favourite Ranking chants. Especially "It's all from a text, that she got from her girlfriend (apparently an ex)..."
― Tim F, Monday, 9 May 2011 19:22 (twelve years ago) link
"and i'm feeling overwhelmed but slightly elated..."!
― r|t|c, Monday, 9 May 2011 19:28 (twelve years ago) link
That Rudimental ft. Shanti - Deep In The Valley reminds me of Buck and Bury in the cadence.

Okay that 20th April mix is off the hook, ropey Tyler remix notwithstanding. Full disclosure - I skipped right to the second hour. As usual its the clattery carnival bangers that really work for me, and there seem to be more of them. The sense of escalating momentum is so enjoyable as whole that I've minimal interest in seeking out individual MP3s of most of this stuff.
― Matt DC, Monday, 16 May 2011 18:54 (twelve years ago) link
the second hour of that marcus nasty set is just pure vibes - love the camaraderie - plus shantie on crunk vip is waaooow!
― ennui soundsystem, Monday, 16 May 2011 16:51 (3 hours ago) Bookmark
bears repeating. it kind of terrifies me to note that shantie had never heard that riddim before then, or at least i think so!

yeah this is fair dos i think - i still collect them out of habit (it is sometimes fun to see how difficult doing a marcus set really is) but it's only really the vocal cuts ('never say bye' plz santa) i lust to own
agree also that the yonkers remix is never not lame to hear but i'd still rate a dub version in fairness

second hour is a snore alas (though a well-executed one if ur into it). i don't wanna say 20th april was a fluke cos the tracks are still everywhere you look; it's that the tapping into the right mystic state of consciousness is proving harder and harder for deejays as economies (of perception as well as commerce) reify.

Marcus ladymix is excellent - although the Adele remix is a bit ropey that's largely because that song just rhythmically goes against the grain of funky. Somewhat annoyingly the tune I like best is the unidentified one with the harmonies after 'Nobody' and the mix gets really good after that point.
On paper that Paul Woolford mix of T. Williams feels it should be the wrong kind of ravey but context it's weirdly refreshing, like suddenly being doused with squelchy noises.

For anyone interested that missed this, DJ Naughty doing a guest mix (last 30-odd minutes) for Brackles on Rinse:http://podcast.dgen.net/rinsefm/podcast/Brackles300611.mp3Fairly impressed by this. rtc I think I remember you saying that with the way the scene was heading in general, Naughty's tunes might no longer mix well with everything else out there. I can def see that with some of his productions on this, and also I guess the slightly trancey synths on some of his tunes might not be up everyone's street (on paper they're not really up mine). But hearing his style of tunes back to back like this is quite seductive for me, he seems like a producer that's full of ideas and that really communicates when you're listening.[End rambling]
