i still dont know what wanting 'ultra dark funky' really means. i mean, can it get darker and more 'end of the world' in vibe than house girls? have you HEARD the bass on that?! or shay and sinistas merge riddim? are you sure you guys like funky?
theres lots of dark tracks around. its just not taken over the scene. which isnt necessarily a bad thing really. and its not like there isnt enough of it. for all the talk a while back about wanting 'rude energy' (much as i hate that term), its really bizarre to not like the quite obvious rude energy that is there in funky. i mean, yeah i dont like the crappy vocals either - i dont hate vocals on sight however - but i like that you can get a tune like fuzzy logiks leader (basically like wiley doing funky) or roskas i need love or perempays buss it as well as a tune like house girls (that rip on youtube isnt house girls btw, its something else) or shay and sinistas merge riddim (which is fucking brutal btw). even a tune like crazy cousins' extortion is pretty bloody dark. but its still dancey which is good. maybe if it all went dark it would be amazing too and lead to all sorts of abstracted funky tracks which im not against but the sort of push and pull between all the diff elements right now is what makes instrumental funky so good imo. im not too into the wishy washy house muzak type stuff but i dont need it all dark-DARK - tracks like buss it and leader are amazing too. i hate that devine collecctive track where they go on about playing their bongos tho.
