    Juke

    this is exactly what i was thinking last night, its so heavy... people associate functionality with rhythmic compromise or whatever, but because of the specifics here its pushing the complete opposite direction yeh definitely. also i reckon the fact that its focused on the dancing, so as well...

    Juke

    there can't be any odder music being made anywhere in the world than this. its so fucking weird. some of the stuff on imeem makes older juke sound tame, how is that? interesting seeing some of those videos for the first time, the tunes make a lot more sense in the context of the dancing...

    Innovative rhythm programming - wtf? moments

    i am working on rusty memories so please someone correct me if necessary but as far as i remember... its definitely possible to mix 4/4 with 5/4, its just probably in most cases pretty difficult cos the phrases are out of sync and so its hard to judge a mix 4/4 means that one beat is a quarter...

    Innovative rhythm programming - wtf? moments

    biggest rhythmic wtfs for me this year - that Donae'o tune (haven't heard a name for it) with the really weird faint vocal - literally made me burst out laughing at how fucked the rhythm is - Gloop / Aquafresh - Zomby (likewise!) for me the biggest impacts are in the dancefloor context...

    The meaning of "funky house"

    im going to find myself arguing something i really don't believe in here but for the purposes of fair debate i feel the point needs to be raised... a commonly raised complaint of injustice or frustration in relation to underground / independent artists or scenes is that all they do (or can do)...

    The meaning of "funky house"

    maybe you're right about Defected i dunno, it is speculation... just the consistency of their discography suggests to me that they're not just in it for cash, although they've obviously done well for themselves. but yeh maybe i was getting carried away! maybe they just understand branding and...

    The meaning of "funky house"

    i don't think sonically hardcore is fair, it seems to me to be more about vibe i.e. an audience that doesn't want something so aggressive and tensely focused. thats not to me about sonics its surely more about social dynamics. the most common complaints of grime / fears for funky im seeing are...

    The meaning of "funky house"

    to complicate the discussion a bit, i don't think its that simple though. i think there is a degree to which people previously underestimated what was going on within commercial house... for example, the fact that Kode 9 is playing a DJ Gregory tune off Defected from 2006 speaks volumes in my...

    Funky/London/UK House

    pretty sure thats two tunes in quite an astounding mix! i was the one with suspicions that the second one is JME, pure guesswork though, may well be wrong in retrospect i hope Blanka comes out, i love that one a lot!
