Does this include Corpsey's hand me down Vans? They might be a bit, erm, squelchy :eek:

Hmm, it's a strange one.. Jet Star - despite the well received Reggae Hits series - were perennially going bust, but (UK Funky) Apple's 'Mr Bean' was released on Street Tuff, which is a subsidiary. Any further information would be gratefully received... Droid, your Lloydie Crucial comment...

My comments recall the early/mid 90s, pre-VP buy-out and prior to the Junjo and Scientist reissues. I won't claim to be an authority on the Junjo / Linval Thompson / Volcano story but it's well known that Lawes instructed money to be paid directly to the singer/DJ/players rather than going...

Nosestep (listed as Well Well Well on Geeneus' Volumes mix) by Aardvark. An Aardvark (maybe the same, maybe different) makes some (only moderately interesting) gloomy dubstep at present, but this track is to me very much Zinc/Bingo-era breakbeat garage rather than Funky. Nothing wrong with that...

Cashing in no doubt, but, in Greensleeves case at least, there was also a feeling of (lets call it) The Clyde Stubblefield Effect. That is, trying to get overdue payments made to DJs and producers whose work was being sampled in early 90s hardcore & jungle. Like much sampled music, this...

I was working at Greensleeves when they commissioned their jungle remixes and for the most part Ja didn't care or have any idea. Greensleeves paid out due publishing royalties in full and on time - not exactly common practice on the island - so the artists/producers may have been fairly...

After pondering the above, if we add in Black Sun and Lighter/Skanker (I can never work out which is the artist and which is the track) we have four different submissions. This, according to Colin's Konsice Almanac Of Nuum Runnin's, constitutes a sub-genre. We would of course have to call it...

Although I'm mostly ignorant of AGCG's oeuvre post-Juice Box, his music - esp the seminal proto/jungle highlights of '91-'96 - remains quintessentially original and has aged considerably better than most. To this end I was pleased to read the following on a site dedicated to releasing Gerald's...

I guess the seeds have already been sown - hindsight may see Lil Silva as the day-dotter, so to speak and some (not all) of Cooly G's stuff is a bit claustrophibic and vaguely paranoid-sounding to me.. It may be interesting to hear what those grime youngers who have only recently started to...

That new Karizma "Kaytonik" EP is in Uptown by the way. Came out a couple of years back as it happens ;) Anyone got a tracklisting for Uptown's Mak10 CD?

Funky has massive potential. Problem is the get-rich-quick crew are pumping out some real dross at the moment. And I don't care how good the dancers are, that RingaRingaRosey thing is fackin orrible!

Hang about, if we can just add Ms. G to the list of guest vocalists then surely it's game over?!

Finally, something else to get excited about in addition to the already-ubiquitous Cooly G...

A (direct) quote from an Aussie street-press paper states that Wiley flew home following "the biggest backstage fight ever seen in Australia". I just can't shake the image of Paul Hogan cornering an already-drawn Skepta drawling "That's not a shank.."

Nail on head re. evolution. Unfortunately we seem to have reached redundancy far too quickly.. Wobble Funky? Who knows. Although it's a dirty word now, wobble really isn't the enemy - look at the Goat Stare for one of many examples. Over-reliance and laziness are the ultimate killers.

Expand, please. Specifically the 'deliberately' bit..
