This is amazing.

Incredible, aren't they? The new Missy Elliot and Kanye West remixes are great, too, as is this one, just put up yesterday: http://soundcloud.com/funkystepzuk/those-that-know-arise.

This guest mix of theirs on Da Movelt Nasty show is worth repeated listens, it starts an hour and twelve minutes in: http://soundcloud.com/moveltraxx/da-movelt-nasty-show-nasty-9. There's loads of new Funkystepz instrumentals and hip hop remixes, including two neck-breaking Fresh Prince/DJ Jazzy Jeff remixes. It ends with a brand new vocal track, 'Bring me Back'.

The transition into the "We Found Love" remix is just O_O
― Tim F, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 20:32 (thirteen years ago)
xp hah by the end of last night i had p much concluded that funkystepz had solved the whole music question and the world's populace should retire en masse to appreciate fine porcelains or something instead
come the morning i awoke with the usual morbid zombie appetite unfortunately
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 21:10 (thirteen years ago)
transition out of 'we found love' is just as bonkers in truth
like what manner of robotech laser clown car music even is that riddim seriously

O_OThis mix is too much.

― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 4 December 2012 20:48 (thirteen years ago)
a funkystepz track called "fizzy" doesn't even seem fair
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 4 December 2012 20:49 (thirteen years ago)
'jumanji' is the least fair one imo
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 4 December 2012 21:35 (thirteen years ago)
ah 'xtc', how could i have forgotten your utter magnificence
Even just in memory I can immediately summon the utter magnificence of "XTC" to mind.
OTOH how dare they release a "Backlog" EP and leave off "Lovers".
― Tim F, Tuesday, 4 December 2012 22:11 (thirteen years ago)
Despite bingeing heavily in Funkystepz instrumental bangers a while back they always feel like they're missing something on their own. Because you hear them piled on top of one another so regularly I've come to view the individual EP tracks as components of some ridiculous mecha-banger that can be slotted together in a load of different ways. Their EPs are more consistently great then pretty much anyone else's at the moment and still they suffer in comparison to their mixes.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 4 December 2012 22:26 (thirteen years ago)
yes that is true, and I think it prevents a lot of people from recognising their greatest material, which was always designed to be listened to in the mix

best rmx of '12 in truth imo
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 4 December 2012 23:26 (thirteen years ago)
be sure to save that soundcloud btw as a bowdlerised version was only ever eventually officially released :(
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 4 December 2012 23:27 (thirteen years ago)
as ever with garage remixes you fight back the temptation to post the original load of shit just to fully make clear the magnitude of alchemy wrought
but seriously - what. a. ting.
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 4 December 2012 23:33 (thirteen years ago)
It just made my day to see "XTC" is getting a release. I doubt "Lovers" will ever see the light of day, though, Tim, unless they include it in their annual Christmas giveaway, it just sounds so much different than what they put out over the last year and a half. On the bright side, that new vocal track "Bring Me Back" of theirs sounds sick!
― Astrochimp32, Wednesday, 5 December 2012 23:42 (thirteen years ago)
yeah, difficult to make a big deal of it at the time at the end of that breathtaking mix but 'bring me back' sounded fucking fantastic
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 5 December 2012 23:51 (thirteen years ago)
Oh I'm sure yr right Astrochimp, in some ways if it actually came to light now it would tarnish the holy grail status it has earned in my head.
― Tim F, Thursday, 6 December 2012 00:04 (thirteen years ago)
Tim, you can download 'Lovers' here: http://www.louisewmusic.com/#!music/c22j5. Enjoy!

just getting round to listening to the Backlog EP now and, my god 'Section 5' is completely insane. I mean, I already knew about XTC's amazingness but that track had passed me by before somehow. The whole EP is incredible though. If Zomby or someone had released this as an album everyone would be going completely nuts for it. Have they ever talked about doing an album? I reckon they could do an amazing one.
Then again, casually tossing out a 9 track EP of backlog material that still pisses over 99% of everyone else is pretty admirable.

New Funkystepz from their soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/funkystepzuk/jeremih-all-the-time. That Shea Soul remix has been running through my head since I first heard it on Target's show. They're IMO the best producers in the UK (along with Lorenzo atm) and have been for over two years. The could easily put out another 2-3 Backlog EP's worth of killer tunes, their sheer volume of quality tracks is breathtaking. I'm genuinely perplexed at how Funkystepz have not blown up then. Is it their name? Their connection to UK Funky? Not conservative or serious enough for the Factmag/ Post-dubstep crowd? Maybe if they just changed their name to something like Blawan/Beneath/Girl Unit people would be falling over themselves to proclaim them as modern-day musical Gods?. Help me out here..
