^It's the one after Mr Tickle - Don't Do Lemon & before the Shitta remix. Just when Ramzee first shows up. I'm struggling to describe what makes it particularly good right now, but it is, lol.

It's the drums of course! And the three basslines. It's in that Dem 2 / New Horizons lineage of gorgeously textured but also restlessly funky plinky plonky sounds.

Slick R&B + banging beats = my perennial favourite. And I was destined to love this tune given it sounds like my beloved "Deja Vu (Major Notes Remix)".
― Tim F, Monday, 1 August 2011 09:56 (twelve years ago) link
haha yes you can already kinda tell it's one of those little classics no one else will really go nuts over despite many minor, increasingly strangulated, and then strangely resigned references to it over the forthcoming years
― r|t|c, Monday, 1 August 2011 10:37 (twelve years ago) link
That's enough to make me tear up actually.
At least it has a name. It's very hard even for a legacy as frail as the above to attach to my other forgotten favourite, the tune that samples Jagged Edge's "Walked Outta Heaven".
― Tim F, Monday, 1 August 2011 10:47 (twelve years ago) link
actually if you have the time (or the memory) can you remind me where exactly that jagged edge cropped up, i should like to have another stab at it
― r|t|c, Monday, 1 August 2011 11:10 (twelve years ago) link
Marcus had a set on Deja with Shantie and Rankin' in May 2008, that he offered for download as 13 tracks. The Jagged Edge tune comes in at 7 min on track 1 and crosses over into track 2.
It's got this repeating piano figure and whirring beats, and "Rolling down the lonely highway, asking god to please forgive me." It's always been my pet theory that it's a Target tune as Marcus says at the beginning of the set he's got a Target track to play and it's vaguely like something he might have done.

just to reiterate that fuzzy logik's mix on this is tremendous fun also. (i dunno about everyone else but i'd passed it over a bit after dbs first brought attention, wrongly thinking cos i knew most the tracks it'd be standard.)
'twiss' is still SO GOOD!!!

LR.Groove & Miss Fire – Yours
^ been obsessing over this one a bit lately too, in tandem with the rebecca france remix. the brilliance of this vocal stuff has really taken me aback, there's been no hint of it to date even when he was good. (new "tribal" stuff isnt a patch on his earlier material from the key ep imo). if anything's the new dem 2/new horizons skippy dubby descendant it's this i reckon.
quick clip here
― r|t|c, Friday, 12 August 2011 11:09 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah "Yours" is amazing, reminds me of "Between Us" a bit.
― Tim F, Friday, 12 August 2011 11:13 (twelve years ago) link
why does that hannah liston song not exist outside this mix, i need it in my life
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 16 August 2011 08:08 (twelve years ago) link
It's actually a vocal version of their remix of Hard House Banton's "Reign". AFAIK it's the first time the vocal version has ever been played.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 16 August 2011 08:19 (twelve years ago) link
i hate searching for funky tracks and ILX THREADS being the only places they've been mentioned.

Big co-sign on this. And yeah the mix generally is obv full of goodness.Tim I'm glad you're feeling the Matt IQ release, wasn't sure if it would be your kind of thing. Shake & Brick Lane are big personal faves right now.Q for rtc/Tim - do you know if Eastwood's remake of Dirty Cash ever came out in any form? Would love to get my hands on that.
― Mr Andy M, Wednesday, 17 August 2011 13:40 (twelve years ago) link
not to my knowledge. matter of fact has eastwood ever released anything by himself besides that freebie ep this year? (ie not counting remixes, the 5 star collabo ep, or that time he hadnt got the hang of the soundcloud "no download" option heh heh.)

hey andy i don't suppose you can tell me anything about mista bee? loving 'even though' and 'feel it' off recent smoove kriminal shows, i know marcus has played the latter too (murky riddim with sulty "want it, come take it, desire" vox). idk if he's new or been around on the frignes for ages or if i've been confusing him with mellow bee or what.
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 17 August 2011 14:27 (twelve years ago) link
IIRC Mista Bee is a club promoter in London who also makes tunes. I've been hearing productions from him for at least a couple of years now, but they tend to get played by the Deja guys (SK, Weeksey, LR Groove etc) more than anywhere else and I don't think many have been released. Amazon's Night from a while back is prob his best known (or at least the one I always recognise), it came out on MOS's Sound of UK Funky comp:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UxKuWWFU0sQuite a lot of his tunes have a similar slightly dark sound to them I guess, not sure I know the two you mention though, will track em down.
That's a bummer about the Eastwood track, yeah he's not much one for releases either. Toilet Blocker is supposed to be coming on the We R Bass ep which is another collaborative thing, don't know when it's due for though. I suppose Dirty Cash could only end up being a free download anyway what with licensing considerations and all that.
