who is that obvious to?
This thread needs venn diagrams I reckon, just so everyone knows what's what.
P.S. Craner i'm in love with Cooly G too, which is why I find the whole discourse so vexing. I guess it'd be the equivalent of reading Photek circa 1995 dismissing other jungle.
^this is on point. my favorite music in any genre almost always falls into a similar category: stuff that pushes the envelope, but still works on the dancefloor.
Tunes like Wad/Black Sun/Natty Dub, don't really do either IMO. Most of that stuff just sounds really dull and aimless to me. Even as experimental music I don't find the ideas very interesting at all. A lot of my friends who have good taste in music really love this stuff, but it still just leaves me cold.
when my mates have heard hessley stuff in a mix they thought it was minimal rather than dubstep or dubstep/funky crossover, not sure what that signifies really though.

fuck me she said she doesn't like the 100s of skank tracks, photek ? who u tryna kid ? over dramatic and way too fussy really.
the vocals are the best!The chirpy chap on wonderful day makes me want to hate it but whenever that b-line comes in I want to buy it again. It would be boring without the vocal too...
we eat ice creams, get brainfreeze, and act like chimpanzees
Allow slagging off Black Sun and Wad tho.. stupidness.
Not that I think there's much value in continually repairing misreadings of what I'm saying, but: I was talking about the way in which she's contextualised, not her own copy. Dismissing 90% of funky as crap doesn't bother me assuming she's talking about subpar skank tracks; it's the way in which this position is then contextualised in an article that praises her as part of "the fourth generation" of funky with a sound that's "too musically ambitious" for the scene. This doesn't strike you as reminiscent of how Photek was framed at all?
Also in most ways comparing Cooly G to Photek is a big compliment in my book - this is the guy who made "Consciousness" and "The Rain" and "Relics" after all.
Also "Wad" is IMO a bona fide funky anthem.
There's nothing to stop "Natty Dub" doing likewise, though it's possible that many DJs will just reach for "Klambu" instead.
The Kode9 single doesn't even sound like funky to me; I assume that's deliberate on Kode9's part. And yeah I feel like his (amazing) "Reminiscin" remix fits the vibe much more closely.
uh.. I don't think I was really "slagging off" those tunes there. I'm not saying that they are bad, just that they don't really do it for me. Is that allowed?
