Is this guy a DJ Champion alias? http://soundcloud.com/formulamusiq

Champion has a label called Formula too, theres a remix of Boot Install on his soundcloud, and there's a few tunes with twisted 'Loose Control' style basslines. :slanted:

Anyway, a load of great free tracks on that soundcloud, including this banger.



hmmm...looking at his twitter its probably not Champion himself. Still excellent though.

Sweet Jesus

Hehe, the Formula remix of Gallium is crazy. Really like that tune Bubbly Flow as well.

Sensitivity is just huge, isn't it? Still growing on me each time I listen to it. Big up Champion.

 

[rrrivero]

I know right, I've developed such a long theory of why I like it so much, but suffice to say it just works.

And this girl really needs to feature on more tunes, I kind of want to keep her with the funky scene, but I feel like she should aim higher.

(not that there's anything wrong with funky vocalists)

 

[wise]

Those Formula tracks are great! so much free Funky

so much free Funky

Carnao's just given this track 'Funk the sound' away too: http://www.sendspace.com/file/gi166o

More Formula (AKA Full Control apparently)...







Now you see why I thought it might be Champion? There's another good one called Congo Drop (which I can't currently locate) and thats also got very Motherboard-esque drums. There must be some connection somewhere...is he the other guy in troublesome, or is that someone else?

 

[Tentative Andy]

^ The other guy in Troublesum is called Serious, he's got a cool solo tune called Ghost which Champion uses quite often in his mixes. This guy Formula does sound very Champion-esque though. He's very good anyway, though I feel some of his tunes would need an MC to work to full potential.

 

[Benny Bunter]

hmmm...further investigation reveals that Formula/Full Control appears to be leaking his own tunes on p***g***forum, or at least someone using his name. Odd...can anyone clear up this mystery please?
'Congo drop' also has the exact same vinyl-rewind sample in it as Loose Control...so wtf is going on here?

 

[Tentative Andy]

The plot thickens...

people sharing sample packs and presets?

i like the bb pin on the youtube videos, like the new mobile numbers on press releases

s

yes, probably the most likely explanation. I suppose they must know each other in some respect, theres too many coincidences.

Shay and Sinista on Marcus Nasty's show in 2 weeks time (15.08.2011)

edit: jheeeeeeeeze that Mwadd Funky track! Getting rinsed big time over here



definitely not champion (which we could be pretty certain of already) seeing as this is a white dude

+1

Solid stuff though, good find Benny

Some huge tracks on that mix. Relentless

 

[Tentative Andy]

Nice one Benny (and the ILX cru ). Favorites from the ones I hadn't heard before would be Vortex and You Got It. Also liking that remix right at the end. I was slightly underwhelmed by Trouble when I first heard it on that Kode 9 mix a while back, but it's steadily growing on me.

A lot of funky producers have been posting their bb pins on twitter lately as well, I always thought e-mail was the preferred medium

 

[denoir]

whos the "Siren" remix by? comes in around 4min mark in this video:

 

[Sick Boy]

That's the Sami Sanchez remix. Kode 9 played it in his most recent Essential Mix.
