that looks like it's part of a mixed album rather than a standalone unmixed single though...otherwise surely it'd be on 7digital and itunes. odd, but the proper release is definitely coming (and 'do you mind' will follow in jan)
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 15:06 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah it's the whole single I'm after, with the Naughty remix. Probably just get the vinyl I guess but after all the hype I'm wondering where the digital is.
― paul nomos, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 15:09 (fifteen years ago) link
the official release date is 13 nov i think - i assume a digital release will accompany it at some point
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 15:16 (fifteen years ago) link
didnt it say on their myspace that it was comign out 20th Oct? do you they have it on ukfunky.com?
― t_g, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 15:29 (fifteen years ago) link
It did (does?) say that on their MySpace, yes. But iTunes returns the same as play.com: they just have that mixed MoS comp track, which has been available for a few months now.

(In which case, thank goodness for file2hd.com. I'd be sunk without it, frankly.)
― mike t-diva, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 15:45 (fifteen years ago) link
alright, there we go. just listening to the crazy cousinz show and it's supposed to be at itunes. must be uk only though because i don't see it.
― paul nomos, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 16:03 (fifteen years ago) link
i heard an LD remix of do you mind that was lovely.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 17:20 (fifteen years ago) link
oh ok yeah i can see it on itunes
― t_g, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 17:29 (fifteen years ago) link
that LD remix is amazing

Mak 10 on Pyro Radio 17.10.08
sounds like a less grimey vibe than his rinse sets, also will be of some relief for those who take issue with the Rinse bitrates! i actually think the whole vibe benefits from that compression and poor quality, but either way this one is much crisper
― Benjamin, Sunday, 26 October 2008 17:47 (fifteen years ago) link
that ld remix needs to be available to buy.
cant get that mac 10 show to DL for some reason.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Sunday, 26 October 2008 19:11 (fifteen years ago) link
hmm does it not work just as a right click save as affair?
yeh much as i'd love it to be otherwise i don't have any big hopes for seeing that LD mix anytime soon! dubplate scene and all that. its interesting hearing his take on the vocal. think it illustrates quite well what i was talking about upthread about the different takes on house in dubstep as against funky
― Benjamin, Sunday, 26 October 2008 19:33 (fifteen years ago) link
there is a very housey kode9 and ld collab 'bad' coming on hyperdub next month. one track sounds 'dubstep' housey and the other 'funky' housey
you can hear them on the player herehttp://www.myspace.com/hyperdub
― bass, Sunday, 26 October 2008 20:43 (fifteen years ago) link
hyperdub seems to have some amazing stuff coming out.

Anyone notice the Fuzzy Logick-ish funky house remix of New Horizons' 'Find The Path' on the October Marcus Nasty Rinse FM set?
― Tim F, Monday, 17 November 2008 12:44 (fifteen years ago) link
nah i haven't heard that set yet but that tune sounds awesome!
this thread has died a sad death of late :/ hope it wasn't me rabbitting on about (hushed tones) dubstep too much!
what have ppl been feeling of late? doom put me onto a sick new producer, cooly g... http://www.myspace.com/coolyg i cannot wait for that EP, Dis Boy is shockingly deep. Weak is amazing too, properly disorientated
i have also been enjoying the discovery of my joy on the b side of the malice ep a very great deal!
anyone got any big new sets worth sharing? courtesy of David M... Hard House Banton b2b Dubplate Wonder on Deja Vu 4 Nov 08 - http://www.sendspace.com/file/xs5ux3

I haven't been keeping up as much in the last few months, less because I've lost interest than because I'm still constantly replaying the stuff I have from earlier in the year and have yet to get bored of it.
I'm gonna try to catch-up over the next month so that I can do a year-end wrap up.
The "My Joy" refix is amazing, yeah.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 19 November 2008 23:06 (fifteen years ago) link
Ben, did you notice this...http://www.bm-soho.com/store/AutoKey/101156/cooly/gdub/ornagizer/vol/1/(Cd)
"I'm gonna try to catch-up over the next month so that I can do a year-end wrap up."
Looking forward to that, Tim. I'd been wondering where you were.
― paul nomos, Saturday, 22 November 2008 23:58 (fifteen years ago) link
so the forthcoming geeneus album (!), volumes 1, really hits the spot - i wasn't especially looking for a funky artist album but this is a good mix of anthems ('yellowtail', 'emotions' and the 'night' rmx are all here), anthems-to-be ('saturday', also w/katy b) and deeper (!), housier cuts ('out of the future' is immense).
'bongo jam' did bugger all chartwise :(
― lex pretend, Monday, 24 November 2008 12:19 (fifteen years ago) link
I never saw it in the shops! Was it licensed to anyone big?

"Ben, did you notice this...http://www.bm-soho.com/store/AutoKey/101156/cooly/gdub/ornagizer/vol/1/(Cd)"
yeh i saw that thanks, it sounds sick! definitely looking to cop. although i was hoping for vinyl...
looking forward to Geeneus' thing also, liking the sound of what i've heard a lot

Screw them for keeping on adding more and more extraneous vocals it didn't need. I still bump the first version.
― Mikaael Jackson (The Reverend), Monday, 24 November 2008 22:56 (fifteen years ago) link
it didnt do anything chart wise cos its fucking shit. like that other 'funky anthem' song which is just the d malice gabrielle refix looped up and shouted over by some idiot.
the real funky dissapointments of 2008 are that neither do you mind or tell me charted. shameful.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Tuesday, 25 November 2008 19:00 (fifteen years ago) link
hope no-one minds the promo, but if anyone is in Bristol on Saturday please consider getting down to Take Five Cafe on Cheltenham Rd, got Mak 10 down there, £3 entry, big sound in a tiny basement, it'll be sick...
Bruk
also house, garage, soca, dancehall, all sorts besides

Marcus's most recent show (available in fairly decent quality here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/kqmjna) is INSANE - probably the most sustained attempt to make the funky = nu-grime equation. There are no vocal tracks, it's all hard as fuck quasi-dancehall/quasi-grime bangers, lots of MCs doing their business. Not my favourite Marcus funky house set ever (i'm sentimentally attached to all the old ones with Shantie on them) but this is essential for anyone curious about where this music is going. It's got that weird minimal-ish track we were talking about way upthread (it's the third track in the set) and it makes perfect sense here. There seems to be several distinct sub-trends emerging within the hard end of the scene, including:
1) weird minimal tracks a la the one I mention above2) Little Silver style grime bangers3) "Rising Sun" style dancehall-ish tracks4) cavernous tracks played on what sound like monster drum kits which in my head I'm dubbing "hard tribal" (see the track at 1 hour 17 minutes). These make me think of the scary end of pre-techstep jungle, stuff like the the Trace Remix of Babylon's "Splash".
That last strand is given a lot of airtime on the 1 October Rinse set, which resultingly doesn't sound terribly "grime" at all, although still hard as fucking nails for the most part.
― Tim F, Monday, 1 December 2008 07:10 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm sort of relieved Bongo Jam didn't chart in the end, it would doubtless have been written off as an embarrassing novelty record otherwise.
― Matt DC, Monday, 1 December 2008 12:25 (fifteen years ago) link
Kode9 played a hyper intense hour of funky at FWD>> last night, large parts of it sounding like it was his own productions. dark, broken, clipped, percussive, edgy, analogue, housey beats. crazy stuff...
― Martinclark, Monday, 1 December 2008 13:32 (fifteen years ago) link
i was gonna go to that!! fucking deadlines.
― lex pretend, Monday, 1 December 2008 13:36 (fifteen years ago) link
Don't ever recall seeing "Bongo Jam" on physical release in any shop apart from 12" white label so no wonder it didn't chart.
Geeneus album due out next week though so I'll probably pick that up.
― Brother Belcher (Marcello Carlin), Monday, 1 December 2008 13:40 (fifteen years ago) link
i did think there was gonna be a physical release but i haven't been in any record shops recently so who knows...there's definitely a digital one. R1 didn't playlist it though (unlike 'heartbroken' last yr)...maybe 'do you mind' will fare better in jan. so far the funky scene has been really astoundingly terrible at making tracks available.
― lex pretend, Monday, 1 December 2008 13:46 (fifteen years ago) link
oh, it transpires that dj ng's 'tell me' is on itunes/7digital (as is the crazy cousinz remix of the alesha dixon single), and perempay & dee's awesome 'time to let go' is on traxsource.com (but not 'in the air'?? no one i know has a full-length quality mp3 of 'in the air' yet)
― lex pretend, Monday, 1 December 2008 14:35 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, I was looking for "In The Air" (awesome track!) over the weekend to no avail. Get a bloody move on!
― Brother Belcher (Marcello Carlin), Monday, 1 December 2008 14:47 (fifteen years ago) link
the best i have is either http://www.sendspace.com/file/xtx0yu (320kbps but from a mix cd) or http://rapidshare.com/files/136970703/DJ_Perempay_-_In_the_Air.mp3 (full version but sounds like a shitty myspazz rip)
― lex pretend, Monday, 1 December 2008 14:52 (fifteen years ago) link
Cheers Lex - most of what I found seemed to have been burned straight off 1Xtra with lots of banal DJ banter and jingles obscuring the actual track.
― Brother Belcher (Marcello Carlin), Monday, 1 December 2008 14:53 (fifteen years ago) link
that LD remix of do you mind is coming out next year after all.
not sure about that MC set with marcus nasty - some of the emceeing on there wasnt as good as i had hoped. jme sounded great but some of sharky majors emceeing was like he had been listening to nothing but 'i see girls' since hes been out of the scene.
wish kode 9 had a radio show.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Monday, 1 December 2008 17:41 (fifteen years ago) link
That new marcus nasty set is insane! Kode 9 last night at plastic people was brilliant...love that club so much. I wish I remember a bit more though :/
I bought 'bongo jam' on emusic BTW

it's sharky EEEEYEAH p of 'do you really like it' fame you pillock.
i was about to say that shark major reading out a funky poem would be excellent lolz, but now i reflect pon it further he could do a nice line in that kinda quasi-mystical spoken word pulpit house one often comes across. (how good was the marcus bit in that set when he goes "yes, just give yourself to us, thats all we want. is you, for the night. your ears your mind. your body, your soul." btw <3<3<3)
