funky house sceptics, let me draw your attention to this

It's kinda generic in the best possible way.

I just downloaded a Scotty D and Smoothie T set from January, hopefully containing lots of Scotty D dubs. I'm excited.

Will report back with a link if any good.

I want to hear more stuff like Fuzzy Logik's "Work the love" where the traditional house elements come through really strongly but underpinned by funky's more sinuous rhythms and lurching grime bass. In general more like MA1's april 18th set on Rinse, but more UK (that mix is full of US stuff). The overall vibe is much more laidback than a typical Nasty set but with much richer sonics.

Any recommendations?

hot new Mak 10/Shantie mix

some of the tracks on this mix are sick but sonically it's unbearably clipping and overdriven for ages arrrgh!

I like the first tune about champagne receptions.

arf.

Check Dark Night's "Who Said" and "Brpken Beats"

http://www.bm-soho.com/store/AutoKey/104944/dark/knightreasons/broken/beats

Massive tunes, but more pertinently, this is basically 2-step isn't it? "Broken Beats" actually is more like breakbeat garage at its absolutely best, halfway between Zed Bias and Toasty maybe.

Heatwave got Capleton, Vybz, and a couple others to jump on "Party Hard"

http://www.theheatwave.co.uk/music/item/donaeoandfriends-partyharder/

apparently Donaeo has an album coming on June 8th

jacob, I love this Dubplate Wonder set from January, and it may be close to what you're looking for:

But my favourite thing right now is Big Kidd Productions' "Boom Ting":

http://www.uk-funky.com/ukfunky_previews_124.htm

The beats on this are massive.

Heatwave set on rinse fm blog - first thirty minutes are UK funky.

So good it makes me want to ;_;

OMG: Puppet Master- Inflation Master Remix

Mix straight into it from "Inflation" (as per Footloose's 17 May show) and it's like the funky equivalent of, i dunno, the first three tracks on Underworld's second album.

anyone ever find a non-radio rip of seany b 'lift me up'

i know i sound like a broken record but

think it only exists in ur mind by now dude. myspace him maybe?

ayo talking of sounding like a broken record did we ever identify WAkeUPEaRLYInTHeM0rNiNGWAkeUPEaRLYInTHeM0rNiNGWAkeUPEaRLYInTHeM0rNiNG?? u know the one i mean

Do you mean the Bongo Jam remix? It's by L-Vis 1990 & Bok Bok.

The Fantastic 4 (Ill Blu, Roska, Scratcha DVA and D-Malice) set on Rinse FM blog is HEAVY. Lots of ravey and electroic overtones. Fans of Jalla's "Turbulence" should check it.

seriously people.

Back once again (with big selections and dodgy mixing haha).... quick rushed one seeing as i was bored today....

That looks great faze!

Also, stop press - Ill Blu remix of Shystie's "Pull It Wheel It" and also his "Time To Get Nasty" go on sale at ukfunky.com on Monday. These are TUNES, okay.

http://www.uk-funky.com/ukfunky_previews_114.htm

cant stand that black coffee track. heard some older marcus nasty show on rinse this afternoon as a repeat. i think it was with mak 10. they were doing a crazy cousins competition during it. anyone know what date thats from? was seriously good.

listening to your mix now faze - this sophia romain track is BIG!

I can't quite work out whether I love that Madslinky track or I'm faintly appalled by the consequences of funky drifting closer to actual funk.

Matt I haven't listened to the mix yet but Maddslinky is a broken beat-ish outfit by Zed Bias, so it probably doesn't reflect anything about funky per se.

cosine on the ill blu shystie remix!!! HANDS IN THE AIR SHO SHO WILE OUT

FLASH YA LIGHTERS HIGH IF YA FEEL IT
FLASH YA LIGHTERS HIGH IF YA FEEL IT
D-D-J-J PULL IT! WHEEL IT!

BIG DUTTY STINKIN BAD GYAL BAD GYAL
BIG DUTTY STINKIN BASS

Yeah it's pretty fantastic. Between this and "Time To Get Nasty" Ill Blu is a top candidate for producer of the year. He's certainly the one who seems most in love with R&G - these tunes remind me quite a bit of prime era Davinche, Terra Danjah, Target/Danny Weed...

Lex did you download that Heatwave set i was talking about upthread?? The first thirty minutes is all amazing in this vein - actually includes this track. But I also adore Sami Sanchez's "Dutty Trumpet" with an awesome Stush-esque MC over the top, Grievous Angel & Riko Dan's "Ice Rink" sampling track and Lady Chann and Sticky's track built around "Booo".

:O

Just got back from a night out at some random lounge in Montreal. In the middle of the set at 1:30 in the morning, the DJ busted out Wearing My Rolex and Head, Shoulderz, etc. and also some bassline that I didn't recognize offhand. Unexpected, but awesome.

OMG the last fifteen minutes or so of the june 10 Marcus Nasty/Mak 10 set is just O_O - amazing militaristic snare-heavy Scotty D track (ID'd by the "whoidit?" signature sample) into this astonishing bass-lurching monster which is like a funky version of old Metope tunes, then a long long blend into the perfect choice of Jalla's "Turbulence".

With stuff like this the whole "funky as feminine reaction to x" explanation just doesn't make sense any more, this stuff is totally ruff and tuff. I'm liking that funky seems to be moving to a kind of dancehall equivalent position where questions of masculinity and femininity are basically suspended.

this dj one drop is one of the best sets ive heard ... part of that might be my bias towards 192kbps mixes tho

Busy Signal - Tic Toc (GreenMoney Remix)

^^^ This!

yeah that dj onedrop set is incredible. tim, check out the greenmoney showcase mixtape floating around the internet!

also, i like the fact that the jumeirah riddim is so called...because sticky made it in a jumeirah hotel room.

LOVE this onedrop mix too: "Don’t Jealous Me!"

everyone otm abt how awesome the one drop mix is, went so well w/ the hot weather on sunday

onedrop mix is good imo - big and bashy funky!

Nothing called 'African Air Horn Dance' can possibly be bad.

tracklisting looks good... surprised rinse hasnt put out volume 2 of their funky series yet.

i just got that ministry mix, can't wait to put it on - i like that there's a fair number of tracks i haven't heard, so it won't just be the usual bangers (great as they are) in a difft order

I cannot believe Ministry put out a funky mix without Heads, Shoulder, Knees & Toes on it. I'd assumed that would be the first name on their teamsheet.

Still it looks a very good mix of well-known anthems and tracks I don't know, while being very dilettante-friendly.

"16 Funkystepz Trinity Hill "

I love this track so much. And I'm intrigued to hear their "Sounds In Moruga".

Hmm a trip to their myspace page reveals "Sounds In Moruga" to be kinda boring actually :-(

finally found the Crazy Cousinz release and it is hella nice

The OneDrop mix bumps obviously - love the unexpected experience of the Ripgroove sample durin Bringing It Down.

Maybe it's just the overload of MC's on this one but it feels like virtually every record here references two or three others, like they're trying to reach some kind of critical mass of whoops of recognition. Route one funky!
