i dunno, but with funky for example, the whole 'mcs are ruining it' thing came up really early - it was like the scene was already waiting for a rift and thought they would get it out the way early. i mean i know raves were happening for quite a while but when the music started becoming its own thing, it went weird early on.

back to shuffling though.

So is this all coming out of the 'deep tech house' scene which has been siphoning vybez off of the funky scene for a couple of years now?

Stuff like this rave which was posted in the funky thread a while back?

This isn’t the same thing. The stuff circle play doesn’t attract the shufflers, they try and go for the more mature crowd.

The ‘shuffler’s’ (yuk) tend to go more towards the new disco type of sound, ketted, sleazy, just nu disco but the dark bassline stuff. Also, it’s not like this is some localised thing, there were bear shufflers over eastern electrics @ the O2 peninsular. Round about that time that ‘anti foot shuffling’ group was made.

And yea, it probably was tipper, and I forgot he’s allowed to talk shit and be one of the worst hosts ever at his raves, but the kids aren’t allowed to do some new dance that he can’t do because he hasn’t been able to bend his leg in that direction for at least 5 years? He’s not a very nice character generally Blackdown, I’m surprised to see you covering someone like that on your blog. Take one look at his & you’ll know what I’m saying.

Anything that pisses off people over 25 gets a thumbs up from me.

My thoughts exactly. I'm not a dance expert but to me it looks like the silliest and dumbest looking in a long time, but hey if people enjoy it. Nothing new here though, this weird chicken-like dance has been around here for years, applied to various musical genres:

I find it sad that this thing is also manifesting itself in the UK, guess they're not so much an island any more.

When Swarvo's on a shuffling thing you know it's a bad state of affairs.

Check the forearm skank
