Don't get me wrong, loads and loads of great funky tunes but the scene to me seems to lack some kind of personality and character that Jungle or Grime or whatever else had. I mean how many actual classic Funky tunes have their been?

I'm glad someone on here admits it. ;)

The whole hipster thing just makes me wonder what the London working class/black youth are doing musically. Have they been this quiet before (I wasn't alive for it if so)? Blaming this and that on hipsters/middle class is all a bit weak though IMO, not to say loads of them aren't annoying and...

Ahh yeah I remember those 2 tracks now, definitely are two of the best on it. Having listened through the clips again, I might buy it. Really like a lot of the tracks on it, if you basically view as just a collection of beats he's made recently rather than a album I think it will probably be...

Haven't got City Limits Vol 2 but flicked through clips and got his first album. Silkie is talented guy who makes loads of great tracks but really seems to fall short in making a overall good album. His style just ends up all a bit to similar both in sound design and song structure. With the...

Can't you just like it if it sounds good to you?

Definitely hear Sleeparchive in these, I read a interview with him a while back when he was saying how much of a impact going to Berghain for the first time had on him. All for the better in my opinion.

http://www.surus.co.uk/hemlock-recordings/order-/-pan-12374.aspx Very different direction lol... I think its brilliant though, not exactly club tracks but oh well

Nah, all meant initially is that he isn't aiming wholly at a "serious" (for want of a better word) dance music audience.

I think the Adele remix is decent too, definitely good pop remix. Just saying as Tom Lea pointed out the aim of his tunes isn't really to please the likes of most people on this forum so I doubt the slating of Far Nearer would really bother him. Kind of the same way Dizzee Rascal would just...

100%. Again its the media that's made all these connections, I very much doubt Jamie XX could care less that hardcore continuum royalists think his tunes are shit. Also with regards to his name I think people are looking all a bit too deeply lol, he's called Jamie and he's from the band The XX...

Sorry not looked if this is a repost but I'll post anyways. Love this. Ignore the ridiculous effects and pull ups on the clip btw lol... :eek:

Really? Lets hope not lol

^Yeah that.

His older sets with less genre hopping were amazing... But I love the guts he has in these mixes, and the fact he can make people go with it is great. That said I would like to hear him do more "traditional" sets; as you said his skills can get lost in the eclecticism.

Its all in the rhythms really isn't it? Does a darker sounding tune really make a difference to someones enjoyment if the beat is spot on and the track works as a coherent piece. There definitely seems to be a divide between the more original Funky heads and the people from other scenes. Maybe...

I would like to see the balance tipped a bit more towards darkness as well with Funky. Night Hunter or After The Night by Martin Kemp show how well that darker (not just raw) funky sound can work. Kind of similar to the garage/dubstep crossover period where you still had the swung funky garage...

AFX dropped Night Hunter at Bloc didn't he?
