Funky/London/UK House

[4linehaiku]

The prospect of a tune called "show me your bum" does not bode well for my attempts to convince people that Funky is a serious prospect.
Edit: Though this is their loss obviously.

 

[boomnoise]

ok i found it.

better or worse than the cameo funky thing? i cant conclude.

[Sick Boy]

This tune is like a parody of funky.

 

[Ory]

lol

decent beat

but still

lol

 

[faustus]

beat is actually sick

that tune 'analogue war' on the player is pretty cool too.

and as for this: "Mc Vipers Lyrical skills have taken him around the globe. Viper also has a rock album" ----> some1 track it down, please please please

 

[4linehaiku]

I'm more intrigued by his 5 awards. An unmatched feat apparently.

 

[viktorvaughn]

what rave is this?

 

[Tentative Andy]

He was doing those bum bars on that Westwood thing a few days back. Pretty lame I reckon.

Sounds like a cheap infomercial for a unlikely new workout aid.

what rave is this?

it's called Nookie

 

[slackk]

Are You Gonna Bang is much better.

 

[faustus]

so, funky's being mixed with - US and euro house, garage, new dubstep, grime, bashment, techno and so on

but not early dubstep, mystikz, early skream and benga

just noticed this when listening to ruffage sessions mixed who r those guys into siegaliser, and also now listening to hatcha's 2004 set.

is there a reason why not?

 

[alex]

ez, just wanted to say that Slackk's tunes are heavy!!

played them yesterday bro, keep up the good work, will post link & t/L when i have it!!!

Dubstep = 140, funky = 124-130
Dubstep = snare on 3rd beat, funky = snare on 8ths

CD decks make the tempo easier to deal with but this line hasn't been explored yet.

I am working on some funky remixes of some dubstep tunes though...

 

[alex]

sounds nice bro^

 

[Blackdown]

Dubstep = 140, funky = 124-130
Dubstep = snare on 3rd beat, funky = snare on 8ths

while it now usually tends to be, it doesnt always have to be like this for dubstep...

 

[Grievous Angel]

Yeah, but it's better when it's generic and unoriginal, innit.

yeah but hardly any of the early mystikz, skream, benga etc (from 2003-4ish) is straight-up 140bpm with a big snare on the third.

Take it everyone's heard Mj Cole on a funky beat with "gotta have it dubb", almost a Switch fidget feel to it, love it. The original is an absolute beaut too!

 

[Colz]

Its an instant grabber that one. MJ Cole did a mix for a dublin promoter recently, here it is
