funky house sceptics, let me draw your attention to this

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Maybe my song of the year. Or at least top 5.

And there's only competition because there's so many great songs this year.

Ramzee ft Mighty Moe – Go Loco

found these listed on an old pioneer show from a month back, anyone heard them perchance? according to mighty moe on wednesday's marcus show 'go loco' is a funkystepz production

this has cropped up and i think it's only exclusive to this (awesome) ministry comp?

Why oh why did I only get around to listening to Fuzzy Logic's mix on the Kiss Presents show now? Top notch, having serious faith-restoring effects on me after going through an up-and-down phase with things. Loving the synth-funk vibes on some of these tunes. Rest of the show looks to be fun too.

twiss is always going to be classic but fuzzy's mix is just o-k imo. he weighty j and coldsteps one is the one though. some amazing tracks on there. made me a convert again.

nobody has an mp3 of the fuzzy show do they? i go back to that page every few days and the radio streamer gadget never works for me. the samples of 'all my love' sound gr8!

this new ep from 86 baby (murdz from devine i think?) is great on first listen, i love the line he toes between galloping synth drama and (er, cringe) live-sounding timbres. much less glossy and even songy than say ill blu, but there's a cool under-the-surface hypnotic effect that he gets from hardly ever throwing any major new hooks in but continuously changing around the elements that are there. like there always seems to be something new simmering in between the cracks of everything else. (dunno how far this really holds - i mean the new percussion halfway through 'rhythm & funk' is just madness)

You can buy "All My Love" off junodownload.com now.

DJ Larizzle's Radio Raving set is tremendous fun - highly recommended!

^^ didn't get to hear it (now it's unavailable). did anyone record it?

At this stage I frequently get confused as to which tunes I've posted about on dissensus and which I've covered here. Anyway, this one caught my attention recently:
http://www.junodownload.com/products/air/1823941-02/
Reckon it's the sort of thing that should appeal to the regulars on this thread - i.e. groovy vocal tune that's ear-catching and slightly freakish in a not overly self-conscious way. In other words I rate.
Def hyped this one over on the other side, but don't think I've mentioned it for a why even though it's been out for a while:
http://www.junodownload.com/products/into-you/1763628-02/
Remixes are decent but it's the og mix that's the one for me, one of my tunes of the year at this stage. IIRC Greenmoney have had quite a mixed reception on here but this one's a bit different from a lot of their tunes, less boshy but still rude/sharp.
Also Razzlerman is growing on me as a producer, after finding his work a little underwhelming to start with:
http://soundcloud.com/razzlerman/tracks
Think he's finally due to have a first public release out next month.

not that funkystepz need more highlighting here, but their mix shifts the big hulking tank of the og 'into you' into this exquisite ballerina trailing ribbon and streamers - i've put that mix on nearly every cd i've burned this summer, so so good

lol that they did a weeknd remix

― Tim F,

thx alot, tim. any recent shows i should particularly look out for? haven't been listening to any new ukf sets (or even tracks for that matter) for a long time now : x

SR Mix #96: LR. Groove & DJ Eastwood [Déjà Vu]

I like this a lot so far.

rusty_allen u shld def get the andy j & s-tee bbc set that rtc links just before the fold upthread, it's seriously mental

Joining the dots, LR Groove and Eastwood's shows on DejaVu have def been among my favorite radio sets so far this year. Can post up some links in a bit. Overall I'd have to say UKF radio hasn't been as good this year as last, which is a real shame.

xpost i just found out i have that one. must have forgot it after downloading. thx for the reminder.

andy, i tend to agree with you, but honestly i haven't been paying enough attention to state that fact.

Hannah Liston - The Middle (Dumplin Remix)
Champion - Sweet As You Like (Feat. Tasha)
Rebbeka France - Can't Wait (LR Groove Remix)

WHY DO THESE SONGS NOT EXIST YET

i was just about to shout at hannah liston on twitter about this state of affairs but she hasn't even bothered tweeting for a year

why is it always the shit artists who are good at self-promo

:x

in my recent funky torpor i was inexplicably drawn to listen to that rebekka france mix again (and again) this morning actually

something important and new about it, so alive and wild not just in vocal but totally matched in production

really feels like a road not taken :/

i guess what i'm meaning is there's something almost... junglist about it? as opposed to the simple leanness and meanness of when funky guys usually take their baby steps towards "tribal"

meanness of when funky guys usually take their baby steps towards "tribal"

Totally feeling you on this, 'meanness' is a great description (unfortunately) for most of these kind of tunes. It's weird and frustrating 'cause as a fan of jungle and of drum/percussion led stuff in general, it feels like tribal-funky is something I ought in theory to be totally into, but so many examples just leave me thinking 'eh that's ok' and no more. Bushman from LR Groove's last EP I thought was really cool, but that was as much to do with the synths as the drums. As I said above, I'm starting to enjoy some of Razzlerman's experiments in this direction, but overall it feels a bit like 'missed opportunity' at this stage.
/rambling moaning

WHY DO THESE SONGS NOT EXIST YET

This happens across dance music really - how many hardcore or jungle records never saw commercial release even in a much better age for record sales? European techno or house records can still take a year between appearing in DJ sets and online mixes and becoming commercially available. I suppose it's more noticeable here because the thread catches things so early, and because funky's commercial infrastructure is (still) so patchy and underdeveloped. It's hardly the artists' fault their records aren't seeing the light of day.

At least nowawadays everything ends up on good quality mixes.

There are amazing grime tunes i still only have on homemade tapes.

razzlerman and lr groove actually both nailed a great little sort of tribalism with the stuff they first came out imo with and then (seemingly) once they started to think about it and put name to vibe lost it completely

(talking about 'bushwacker' wrt razzler)

ye olde rhythmic danger discussion once again

as releases go it's more infuriating when artists don't release stuff which has already built up pressure rather than them not taking punts into the vague unknown. like idk maybe i'm jumping the gun in judging when pressure actually exists but am i really supposed to get gassed when champion gets round to releasing motherboard two years late?

think the fives just released or are about to release 'it's what you do' btw

to be fair "motherboard" got a (fairly poor quality) pressing in 2009.

the we r bass ep is out and the great pioneer/egypt tune is also on itunes.

juno also lists a hardhouse banton ep out on monday but i can't listen to the clips right now.

Blast from the past...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/audio/2011/oct/04/get-low-geeneus-ms-dynamite

They're giving away Get Low, it's been ages since I last heard this and it was everywhere.

hadnt that ever come out properly? iirc it was one of the easier ones to get ahold of, even had radio and extended edits...

'crackish' (the instrumental) i've never seen around higher than 256k though if anyone should happen to have that

we should have a nice big mp3 swap shop at some point now all of this is over

talking of such things, this isn't the right thread but rtc was it you who once mentioned the existence of trina's "here you go" with the original teedra vox?

it was, and i remembered you asking for it when it recently rescued most of my dormant hard drives. appears i've only got this radio rip though alas:

http://hulkshare.com/v5fsgzvqyvj9

when i recently rescued, obv..

for this i am even grateful for radio rips!!!

might tweet teedra next time she's online

What a difference 6 months makes - funny how after I spent the first few months worrying that Marcus Nasty was going all boring housey now I wonder if his sets lean too hard on the post-Redlight bassdriven drug noise business. When the basslines don't overwhelm the beats though this stuff can sound really good, kind of Caribbean-rave.

you wonder if...? hmm, i was sure enough to stop listening to marcus altogether a few months ago.

ok i have put on 5th october. nice 2009 selection so far, can't wait til LOL SPECIAL GUESTS sunday roast & jook 10 spit in its wrinkled face.

well yeah you could put it rather more strongly - I meant to say "I wonder if ...x... kinda ruins his sound."

natalie may's put a free ep up, inc "clothes off" (def one of my tunes of the year)

http://soundcloud.com/natalie-may-xx/sets/natalie-may-mayday-ep

can this biche say ZIP FILE? jesus.

don't say you didn't find something endearingly teedra-like about that

at least she can say 320kpbs

What apart from "Clothes Off" and "Sexy Sexy" is really good? I have zero hard drive space at the moment.
