Whole Sick - Voodoo (Murlo remix), the 2nd tune on this:
http://www.junodownload.com/products/a-little-louder-remixes-ep/1776836-02/

Also Tim, on the subject of Deja sets do you still have any of those old Hard House Banton/Dubplate Wonder shows you talked about on skykicking ages back? Never managed to catch any of them but have always been intriqued.

Mr Andy M, Monday, 9 April 2012 22:27 (twelve years ago) link

Hi Andy, I have a couple, will upload from home.

Do you have Dubplate Wonder's Wonderland 2009 set?

Tim F, Monday, 9 April 2012 22:42 (twelve years ago) link

Nice one :D . Yeah I'm pretty sure I have Wonderland 2009 on the harddrive somewhere, remember listening to it a lot at the time anyway.

Mr Andy M, Monday, 9 April 2012 22:48 (twelve years ago) link

would love to hear a DW set too, missed out on them.

What did he actually release before he disappeared? Obviously there was My Love/Pain 12" and I bought the (excellent) Dubplate Wonderful EP off ukfunky.com before it went down. But I've got a feeling there was more material on that website that I didn't get. Would be up for trades if anyone bagged anything tasty.

A mate sent me some tracks that he bought directly from him a couple of years ago. Turned out to be 160kbps and sound quite shitty but the tunes are good though. They are called '1 drop' 'Waisting time' 'Jump up' and 'mash house'.

Chinatown off the Dubplate Wonderful EP happens to be a lost sino-funky classic btw

TURN IT AROUND

rusty_allen, Thursday, 12 April 2012 05:50 (twelve years ago) link

^^ nevermind...these last few posts made me go back and listen to wonderland 2009 again - utter brilliance, obv - and think about the DW relations with Hard House Banton. in the end, it all goes back at how insanely great 'turn it around' is.

rusty_allen, Thursday, 12 April 2012 05:59 (twelve years ago) link

i know it is the way of the scenius but for someone of wonder's talent (and so fully-formed!) just to apparently vanish actually is upsetting. it would suffice just to know he's alright at this point!

for some reason i always remember that thing you said about wonder's 'riddim box' refix sounding like being chased by a massive moth

("always remember" meaning "have misremembered" most probably)

r|t|c, Thursday, 12 April 2012 13:29 (twelve years ago) link

'sirens' refix, sorry

r|t|c, Thursday, 12 April 2012 13:30 (twelve years ago) link

"a fluttering handclap drum pattern like a moth beating its wings at your ears" actually.

I had to check because describing a track as sounding like being chased by a massive moth would have been surprising even for me.

Tim F, Thursday, 12 April 2012 20:49 (twelve years ago) link

Had a listen to the first of these earlier and yeah, this is a vibe. Feels like a totally different era of the music even though it's less than 4 years ago. Prob the only disappointment for me was that there was less material that was totally new to me than I was expecting/hoping for. Loving all the remixes and VIP-sounding versions of big tunes from that period they play though. Now grabbing the 25th November one.

Mr Andy M, Thursday, 12 April 2012 21:01 (twelve years ago) link

had a listen to that lphonix & yllavation mix i posted for the 67th time and it is still really really really really great fuiud

this is why ilm can't have anything nice

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 15 April 2012 20:40 (twelve years ago) link

tsk and now i have to listen to it again damn it

another noble digging sesh aborted for a half hour

r|t|c, Sunday, 15 April 2012 21:07 (twelve years ago) link

it's not really uk funky though is it? (not that i'm even sure what that means any more)

but whatever it is it is epochal, life-changing (etc)

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 11:07 (twelve years ago) link

yeah, like you say uk funky is an antiquarian pursuit at this point and has been for a while. a great majority of the tracks in the mix would have gotten play in funky sets - but i can see how the mix as a whole might not scan immediately as such (and they themselves wouldn't call themselves that either). think of the fives, fuzzy logik, pioneer, andy jay & s-tee in their less ruffer moments etc

looooove the overflowing florid cut-up orchestral sounds of the very todd edwards remix of keith & superbeatz the most beautiful thing. i think there's some oboe in there! out in a week or so but this gives a whiff:

so whilst in the process of frowning at the fact that the ever-great, ever-mysterious DUMPLIN has started making anodyne tech house my eye wandered over to a new profile description...

Dumplin Also Known As 'Pyper/Pypz' has been producing

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Mad One/Preshus vid. They haven't moved their sound forward very far tbh but not bad. I kind of want Maddison to jump on the afrobeats bandwagon, he'd be perfect for it.

Has anyone listened to the new Cooly G album? I haven't gotten a chance to yet, I'm interested in what everyone thinks of it.

Astrochimp32, Thursday, 28 June 2012 20:16 (eleven years ago) link

On my first scan through I didn't really care for it much. There are a lot of repeats from singles (including the GREAT "It's Serious"), but I felt a lot of the rest featured too many vocals (not necessarily a bad thing but..) and some really uninteresting rhythms.
