this was quite a funky disco session, i only just heard it today - anybody have any idea what his sources were for this or maybe even have a tracklisting knocking about?
i was expecting something different...Ohio Players, Parliament/Funkadelic, you know 70's funk...but Skream delivered stuff i'd never really heard before.
come to think of it a dubstep DJ is unlikely to play out psychedelic funk-rock..:slanted:

Has this music been a long-standing influence or is it stuff he's gotten into relatively recently?

i listened to like the first third of this while i was cleaning my room the other day... only recognized "situation" by Yaz... some really nice boogie/disco stuff, but it's kinda corny to even use the word "funk", i mean, it's disco, dude!

It's all grist
I was really confused by this set, although i found it fascinating and enjoyable nonetheless. Like, I can get my head round young DJs having a surprising understanding of rare groove/funk/soul or whatever, but I really don't get why Skream is into this stuff. I'm not knocking his taste, because although a lot of what he played was a bit cheesy for me, his genuine enthusiasm and understanding of the music came across very strongly. In fact he made me think about what i was listening to in a new light several times when he drew attention to a bassline or a vocal. But surely Skream was born round about the time when acid etc was killing all of this stuff off? Is it something to do with his parents' tastes?

tracklisting

anyone care to name some of the choons on the funk set...a lot of it is v familiar but its certainly not something i'm particularly knowledgable in and there doesn't seem to be a tracklisting online
