kinda lol how they present "You Got It" as filling the yawning gap between the first and second (forthcoming) Hyperdub releases.

amazing

lol @ outkast
Yeah "Fast Love" is the bomb.

i should really listen to older again one day, my mum used to absolutely cane it and i secretly didn't mind
also the back to reality mix of freedom 90 is proto funky i just decided
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 10:54 (twelve years ago) link
Ha, I just figured out that "You Got It" samples Juan Maclean's "One Day". The origin of that riff had been bugging me.

ok everything in that smoove criminal mix is amazing
fffffunkystepz are making me abeliever

Kind of hate saying this, but this mix along with a couple of other select bits and pieces is basically keeping the flame of UKF alive for me right now.
― Mr Andy M, Wednesday, 19 October 2011 21:15 (twelve years ago) link
is there a greater thrill this year than listening to 'xtc' slowly but terrifyingly surely construct itself into a ultrabanger?
― r|t|c, Thursday, 20 October 2011 00:18 (twelve years ago) link
They can't mix for shit on this one but it hardly matters when the tracks are this good.

That Petchy mix and this are keeping me going with the funky at the mo.
I'd almost thought Petchy had died or something.

*Funkystepz can't mix for shit on the fader mix I mean
― jimitheexploder, Thursday, 20 October 2011 18:50 (twelve years ago) link
they've never acted like mixing was the slightest part of their game tbf.
idk if i can really claim that petchy set is worth putting up with that tosser at the start for, really basic and dare i say halfhearted selection. petch doesnt care about funky at all.
― r|t|c, Thursday, 20 October 2011 19:08 (twelve years ago) link
although whats that track at the end ? v decent.
― r|t|c, Thursday, 20 October 2011 19:11 (twelve years ago) link
The best thing about the Petchy set is Shantie's new rhymes.
Downloading the Funkystepz now.
― Tim F, Thursday, 20 October 2011 20:02 (twelve years ago) link
I was disapointed Petchy kinda fell off and went all regular house, when he spins the funky bits he still has a good vibe going though. Plus his MCs are the best when it comes to riding funky for me. No idea why he just kinda dropped off like that.
The Funkystepz mix from Boiler Room yp thread prob... he sounded a lot tighter in the mix.
I'm feeling that last track too, can't place it right now though.
― jimitheexploder, Thursday, 20 October 2011 20:03 (twelve years ago) link
Hehe there's a few shaky moments in the Funkystepz mix for sure.I kind of agree that the MCs are the main strength of the Petchy set and that tune-wise it only really comes alive for the last few.
― Mr Andy M, Thursday, 20 October 2011 20:11 (twelve years ago) link
OMG "XTC" is amazing.

Hello, thought I'd share this here too. Part 1 of the Funkystepz January takeover on 1xtra - the remixes mix. Even if you know most of the tracks here its still worth listening cos this is how they're meant to be heard. Even the Bruno Mars mix is fantastic!

this is fantastic. almost overwhelmingly so! perhaps not something best listened to lying in bed wearing headphones.
how much funkystepz stuff is officially out there, as opposed to being on mixes here and there?

Heaps! They've really addressed this issue over the past 18 months or so with a series of EP releases. Plus most of their remixes are officially released.
Royal Rumble EP out next month! Finally I will have "Warrior" (and the title track) in full.

One of them intimated on another thread here that they're unlikely to release it now :-(
I think they're kinda over that 2009-ish rolling snares sound, they think it's dated or something.
A shame, as it's their finest vocal tune!!
― Tim F, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 00:34 (twelve years ago) link
i like the fact that they're releasing things but their mixes are astonishing.. the guest mix @ fireworks is my favorite by them, so high energy
― moullet, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 01:53 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah I think increasingly their sound is boiling down to <ridiculously colourful and convoluted hopskotch patterns around a 4X4 groove> such that itheir tunes sound best piled together in two minute stretches one after the other, rather than in discrete 5 minute settings.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 02:04 (twelve years ago) link
I really enjoy Funkystepz, I think they're some of the best producers aroiund today, not just in UK Funky, but in any genre. It's almost ridiculous how many good tunes they have,and they continue to put out a steady stream of great mixes, EPs, remixes, and refixes. Just check out the tracklisting for the Royal Rumble EP: http://soundcloud.com/funkystepzuk/funkystepz-royal-rumble-ep. That's four certified bangers right there!
― Astrochimp32, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 07:25 (twelve years ago) link
their transitions (in mixes) still works flawlessly

Some Funkystepz bits and peices. First, Royal Rumble EP's out April 2nd. Second, found this on soundcloud, it's short and sweet vocal track, unfinished, but still good: http://soundcloud.com/tizzy-k/tizzy-go-high-ft-funkystepz. I also wanted to mention Scufizzer. Scrufizzer was one of the original members of Funkystepz, they've done a couple of collabrations with him, and plan and doing more. Some of you have probably heard Fizzy Flow, produced by Renay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bgYwvLthyM . I heard this on DJ Target's show, I could only find this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLgIvobZlKA. These tracks are heavy and grimey, but still have that bubbly. effervescent Funkystepz sound, and Scrufizzer is talented enough to not be overwhelmed by their beats.
― Astrochimp32, Saturday, 3 March 2012 06:45 (twelve years ago) link
Almost forgot. Their remix of Drake's "Motto" is up for download on their soundcloud, it's quite good! Does anyone know where I can hear "Lovers". I've heard it hyped up a lot on this thread, but I got into Funky after Funkystepz had their Rinse.FM show, so I've never gotten to hear this fabled track. If anyone has any of their old radio sets with "Lovers" that they could post, I'd be very grateful!
