Has anyone done stuff like this with good non-sampled vocals? I've heard stuff from the Skylar Spence and I like the more song oriented approach, but I find his singing to sound too much like a bad Ben Folds impersonator.

cuz I like Hit Vibes a lot, though it just kinda....almost gets there. it's weird and funky but not enough of either

So far this stuff is a biiit retrominded for me but w/ the teenage fanbase i became hopeful that someone might come along & idk turn it up a bit & do something original w/ it.

ehh it depends this stuff has a contemporary aspect & all it takes is one kid raised on it who thinks to take it a new way & it's suddenly no longer so retro
i mean....french touch / daft punk were already ripping off chicago house that sampled disco etc.

yeah i was halfway like, either i'm just super late to it bc i opted out of the idea of vaporwave and this is just another tributary of mining the past, or im early on it becoming something new & having renewed steam. It does seem like its still generating attention online & the view counts are trending upward on a lot of the videos
either way, its more enjoyable to me than vaporwave & seems built for short attention span internet listening

obv i this is a minority viewpoint but 10-15 years on i find french touch / daft punk an increasingly embarrassing proposition and the existence of "future funk" just cements that feeling

[thinker emoji] how not
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Monday, 22 May 2017 21:52 (six years ago) link
ripoff is much too strong of a word, i think. early french touch music has a warmth and pronounced downtempo / lounge influence that chicago house doesn't. early 90s chicago filter house has a jacking trackiness to the drums that french touch doesn't. they just sound different, and listening to something like daft punk's 95 essential mix you wouldn't confuse one for the other (even though the sounds are sympathetic and compatible and mix well). i will grant that toward the late 90s as the styles evolved they began to converge more and more, and chicago house was obvously a big influence on french touch. but a ripoff, no. not even what i would call an imitation.
this future funk stuff on the other hand ... i'm not sure if i'd even call it french touch influenced so much as daft punk influenced, and specifically "discovery" influenced ... i think lots of stuff on this thread would fit seamlessly on "discovery" and maybe that's the point?
― the late great, Monday, 22 May 2017 22:01 (six years ago) link
they are both big genres though so you can find exceptions to the rule ... thinking of the very ruffest french tracks, stuff like bangalter's "what to do". that track in particular i guess i could see a case for it being a ripoff of the chicago track style. but i don't think "what to do" is what people have in mind when they're talking about french touch. i also have a much harder time thinking of chicago tracks that sound like french tracks.
― the late great, Monday, 22 May 2017 22:09 (six years ago) link
i meant daft punk 97 essential mix, not 95
― the late great, Monday, 22 May 2017 22:12 (six years ago) link
maybe though the extent to which you perceive french touch to be a ripoff of chicago or future funk to be a ripoff of french touch is one of those things that has as mucb to do with the listener as the text
― the late great, Monday, 22 May 2017 22:19 (six years ago) link
idk ask any chicago house producer & they dont seem to see that much of a gulf between the styles lol
i also think its a bit reductive to say all this stuff would fit in on discovery ... theres way more use of japanese music & lyrics in this stuff
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Monday, 22 May 2017 22:20 (six years ago) link
(much of which was of course rip-offs of american music itself but )
"any" chicago house producer? you've asked them all, i take it?
― the late great, Monday, 22 May 2017 22:22 (six years ago) link
sorry, just being snarky
― the late great, Monday, 22 May 2017 22:25 (six years ago) link
well, i find it hard to believe anybody could fail to distinguish between a french house track and a chicago house track, but like i said, maybe that has to do more with me than the music itself
and i admit i don't really know future funk well enough to make pronouncements on it ... my knowledge of it is strictly from skimming the tracks on this thread
on a somewhat unrelated note you should check out this comp

― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Monday, 22 May 2017 22:37 (six years ago) link
Ugggh I hate this music. It's mostly just the choice of name since years back we started a little music forum on a site that shall go unnamed (starts with R, full of haters) that we called Future Funk Airlines. It was mostly meant as a cheeky allusion to Beats In Space etc. So now we have these kids popping in dropping their vaporwave future funk turds on us, idk I'm honestly having a hard time not taking it personally that this otherwise easily forgettable subgenre took our name.
My internet REALLY sucks so it would be a massive effort to dig thru all the rec's here to find anything passable, anyone who generally has good taste in music feel up to highlighting anything in particular for me? Cheers. (By good taste I basically mean whatever Fact/Resident Advisor rates. Yeah that's how I roll.)

Is EDM even making the charts anymore? Last time I checked they were dominated by dancehall pop and tropical house and moomba and trap and reggaeton. No EDM.
The only notable exception I can think of was Calvin Harris's This Is What You Came For from last year.
There's also The Chainsmokers, but they're not really EDM at this point, I think. I actually don't know, because I've avoided listening to anything by them all this time.

I don't think Future Funk is going to get EDM level success but it's not because it's a rehash - EDM was pretty blatantly a rehash too.
