Kingdom ft. Shyvonne - Mind Reader

Finaly got round to hearing this new mix, its damn good. Miles better than the last mix I heard from him, which wasn't bad or anything this one is just vibes.

I've been listening to that Jhene Aiko mixtape this week too she's pretty cool, no idea who she is or how I found it but shes got a track on this mix too and I'm feeling it, owt else I should check out?

ok, hearing more of these

LOVE - natalie may (pushes all my buttons), myshy (do i hear my beloved freestyle influence in this? yes i do!), ob/channy angelina (can only find the original but it's terrific), sugababes (this is their comeback single right? is the original actually good too or is this some uk funky remix magic going on?)

DO NOT LOVE - zarif (there is no song here? i'm always aware that most uk funky vocal tunes take several listens to settle down in my head, they're rarely immediate, but this is such a massively aimless songcraft fail), dj spillman (forgot it was on while it was playing, wandered out of room)

DO NOT BELIEVE - there are two google results for that dj eastwood track and one of them is this thread. C'MON THIS DOESN'T EXIST.

also why are none of these released? i hate having to go to youtube or soundcloud to listen to shit.

the martial beat on "clothes off" is so immense

The Myshy is here:

hurrah

the ob/channy angelina is on itunes. both original and remix are fab.

Yeah there's definitely a freestyle vibe to "Playground", sorry I assumed you'd heard it already else I would have gone to greater effort to draw your attention to it.

at the same time it feels a bit... #cassiefanclub getting really excited about these songs, compared to the halcyon days of "do you mind", "in the air" etc

That's a good and telling comparison.

The reason #cassiefanclub gets lolz is because whatever Cassie does now seems to have no impact on real world R&B. But it's not like R&B is much the better for ignoring Cassie.

indeed, it's not really a pejorative - it's just more telling because #cassiefanclub stuff works really well as, y'know, solitary bedroom music, whereas with a lot of uk funky - esp when the songcraft isn't quite up to scratch - it's like, this is nice but what do i do with it?

though that in itself is a good way to sort the wheat from the chaff - i'm having no such issues with "playground" or "ain't wastin' no more time".

Well that's context isn't it: you're consuming this stuff as solitary tracks whereas I'm not for the most part. In fact it's probable that our experiences of funky were fundamentally different even in 2008 for that reason.

well yeah i heard them in clubs in 2008. but i haven't been out raving properly in months and really don't feel like i want to any time soon, i think i've accidentally retired myself from clubbing :/

i just want to go to dinner parties and the theatre now

wanted to love that, but it doesn't quite click for me

Yeah, me too. Love Kingdom, love Electrik Red, but the beat seems kind of awkward and it hasn't got much of a tune tbh.

yep

Did anyone ever figure out what the remixes of "Rock the Boat" or "Knock Knock" from that live set are?

the Knock Knock remix is "Stalker Ha" by Kingdom

Ok, I was thinking that sounded like his own work. It's not available afaict?

Not yet. It's coming out on Night Slugs according to this: http://www.xlr8r.com/podcast/2011/03/kingdom

Rock the Boat remix is by Nadus.

thanking u

hey homos,

i actually personally think this tune is JUST ALRITE but i thought it would be right up some of you lads' nefarious alleys and i didnt particularly want it clogging up any of my little thread fiefdomz so here u go

enjoy with my blessing if you feel so inclined xx

btw i heard it on dj cameo's 1xtra show so i guess it's coming out of the ukg/soulful house kinda side of things

playing in LA next week w/ nguzunguzu, girl unit, bok bok, total freedom and prince william (whose stuff i don't really know), stokeddd

prince william is on point along the liens of the rest of them, kingdom's brought him to a few nyc parties

confession: some of his remixes are on point but generally i can't get into total freedom, especially live. whatev.

i love that edit of "one night stand" on the nguzu dublab mix, not sure i've heard his own stuff tho

Excited about seeing Kingdom, Girl Unit, Bok Bok, & some other dude (Monolithium???) next week.

:D

Cute, but kind of awkward?

Yeah, I am kinda surprised by how simple that beat is. Seems like was trying to stay out of the way.

there was legal beef re: rights over mind reader, i'm surprised they got back together again at all but he's a nice guy - probably a factor.

hey wait, fauxmarc- didn't i dance with you last night? dj rashad?

lol no i wish i'd gone but i did the pothead pass out and wake up at 1:30 thing.

oops ok lol

love me like it's the end of the world
and i'm the very. last. girl.
your good love's got me floatin around
we can (???) to the kingdom sound
sail away on the breeze together
in the trees forever we can do whatever
i'm a boss chick, babygirl, bad mutha
talkin slick, mouth quick, baby you could own this

"deep in love we drown to the kingdom sound"

loves it

the prince william fade to mind mix is bangin', cannot wait for tomorrow

sooo jealous

Anyone else going tonight in Seattle?

That party was sick. And I even left before NGUZUNGUZU came on!

T Williams ft Terri Walker - Heartbeat (Paul Woolford Rewurq)

This is an absolute jam, I love the way she makes my heart go BOOM BOOM BOOM.

Yeah that's a great track. Paul Woolford, at his best, is unfuckable-with as a producer. Weird that he's coming up in sets of this sort of stuff and even in straight funky sets, almost seems the wrong kind of ravey but his stretchy MDMA noises always sound great.

that remix has never really overtaken the original (or the mosca remix) enough for me

xp

co-sign on that, I've always thought The Truth was a really under-rated album. His sounds are so brutal and earthy but in the best ways.
