F-F-F-F-F-Funkystepz

did anyone download the remix of 'climax' that was on their soundcloud for a while? i came home looking forward to it after a weekend of only phone internet access, and then it was GONE.

I recorded the Climax remix before it got taken down. I've never uploaded anything but here goes nothing, hopefully Funkystepz don't have a problem with me uploading this here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yd4yn3aztbv8vvy . As Benny mentioned over on dissensus, they've hit this sweet spot between UK Funky and UK Garage, their recent remixes (and everything else they've done) has been so good. Everybody be sure to pick up the Royal Rumble EP on Monday, you won't be disappointed!

thanks!

they've hit this sweet spot between UK Funky and UK Garage,

This is a pretty spot on description of their current sound.

Royal Rumble EP is finally out!

Dunno how to do the drudge siren but if I did it would be in full effect right now.

"warrior" is such a banger but i always prefer their remixes to their instrumental tunes (same goes for ill blu too)

apart from "we found love" which not even funkystepz could salvage

I think this is their strongest EP yet.

Even though "Jigga" is a bit "I see what you did there" it's hard not to love their sheer gumption - who else would even attempt it?

oh man "jigga" is fantastic

or at least the clip

<3 "Jigga"

no vinyl :(

Seriously this is like all four tracks buy on sight material.

downloading now obv

jfc

these guys

"warrior" is a bonafide dancefloor brain melter

With MCs on top it's like O_O

i can't even imagine! have you heard anybody mcing over it?

This entire 20 April 2011 Marcus Nasty / Shanti / Rankin set is epochal, lifechanging etc, but the bit you want is from 65:55:

the handclaps as snare rush make me so ridiculously happy

as does the way every moment of climax is punctuated, inexorably, with ".......FUNKYSTEPZ!"

Funkiest possible things to say during the moment of climax

i dont remember where i heard this, but goes like this "music is my life.. all i need's a mic & a rhyme"

"some are cool, some are corrupt, some are polite some don't give a fuck"

Available for download, Funkystepz's trap remix of D'Banj's Oliver Twist:

Funkystepz have mentioned in interviews that they want to expand beyond UK Funky in 2012 and do Miami Bass, R&B, hip-hop, etc.
Found this also, coming out at the end of the month, Funkystepz remix of Rebecca Ferguson, straight R&B:

Anybody by chance record this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01g9g9v? I really want to hear 'Preeya Kalidas — Love Between Us (Funkystepz Miami Bass Mix). I like the original and FS's Miami Bass remixes have been great, hope this is no exception.

hit me up, astrochimp

unless it gets wild further down the line somewhere, it's no big deal alas.

i.e. click my name, do the "send email" thingie and include your email address

got some promos trace?

No I've got that show tho

interesting. you work for auntie i presume?

Thanks, trace and rtc! I do hope as FS evolve and expand into other areas that they don't completely abandon their signature bubbly, hyper-colorful, intricately convoluted Funky/Garage sound, because there's no one I'm aware of to fill that void.

Loveshy vs Miami Bass EP

http://www.sendspace.com/file/12q64g

incredible!

I wish they'd done a little more with "Oliver Twist" but I feel ridiculous even saying anything negative about such a horn o' plenty

agree but then it's probably about a year before everyone's up to the time with afro

three weeknd remixes? :/

three weeknd remixes? :)

I'm on my fourth download attempt, fingers crossed.

OK, Vybz Kartel remix much better than any of the Weeknd remixes. The pitched up Buju, ehh.

Now I'm trying to figure out which one of their Rihanna remixes are superior.

cake

Yeah, that Cake remix. This whole collection is super generous and awesome!

Does anyone know the significance of the titles (Miami Bass vs. Loveshy) btw?

Yes! Love that Buju Banton remix, brilliant that one, as are they all, including the Rudekid remix they just put out. I wouldn't think the Weeknd (or Bruno Mars for that matter) would be the best material for them to remix, but I think they all work, love the dark garage vibe of those. Ridiculous how many good tunes Funkystepz have amassed.

"the motto" sounds amazing

ESTHERO OG BITCH ->> STILL THE PRETTIEST

Does anyone know the significance of the titles (Miami Bass vs. Loveshy) btw?

No I don't, and I haven't listened to it yet (dl it at work). But a huge part of me wishes that Loveshy takes its inspiration from Kristine Blond's "Love Shy", the Club Asylum remix of which is one of my all time favourite pieces of music ever.

Also,

so much better than the original version and esp the fucking chris brown remix

I actually assumed this and feel likewise.

yeah i assume that too

massive lol @ how they pitch drake's voice to sound like some sort of gremlin on "the motto" remix

the "oliver twist" one is a bit pointless though
