Funky/London/UK House
Did you catch the Dennis Ferrer essential mix a couple of weeks ago? It was ruddy brilliant.

No, I'm implying people are giving funky's garage roots due creditI take it you are implying that people are not giving funky's garage influence due credit?
. I mean really funky's just another Garage Ting, like grime and dubstep. The link from UK Garage back to US Garage has always been there (remember the pirate ads for "three rooms of house and garaaaaaage" back in 98/99?). I really enjoy the resurgence of the link in the soulful side of funky, from Circle to Crazy Cousinz to MA1 and many more. Same as I really enjoy the new grimey stuff, the banging soca stuff, kode's broken wonky stuff... calling it UK House is quite right though, the recontextualisation of the US gear can really change it IMO.QueenofSheba
Keep It Funky!!
Most funky producers tend to refer to the likes of Karizma, Kerri Chander, MAW etc as their influences. I think the diversity of the spund is an outcome of the different interpretations :slanted:

Wait til you hear the remix of Cecile and Lady Saw's Loser... it's ruuuuuufffff! Only to be heard in kode 9 and blackdown sets for a while.
Glad someone else brought up Karizma - was thinking that to be the sort of ruffer end of broken beat (not that difficult admittedly)
hey man, any audio of the move down low remix floating around? really want to hear this.

It's on the last Blackdown show.
Otherwise, you'll have to see Kode, blackdown, nomos, heatwave live. It's not going on myspace for a while. Same for Loser remix.
Now, does anyone have an email address for Marcus Nasty?!?!

I am as they say "'pon the d/l" as we speak.
Didn't marcus and mak10 say their email addresses on that rinse show? or was that just their myspaces? I seem to remember a hotmail being mentioned, but that might just be my swiss-cheese memory.

I think there is a snippet of Kode9's first funky release on the hyperdub myspace player .

It comes in after that percussive, housey dubstep track. Not what I expected at all. Thought he would have gone down the ruffneck route, but its pretty girly.

i think that's LD v Kode9 "2Bad", the flip to "Bad"...

Beyond is 23 october - bring it on! Well excited.
The drums are so overtly housey, even disco-ey, in a way I've never heard in dubstep before. Even Mala's frantic drum workouts ("Shake Out Your Demons"..) haven't come close.

I wonder if Kode's funky will be played by DJs like Marcus (someone's about to tell me that he already HAS played it)?
I can imagine producers like Kode would make quite self-consciously experimental funky rather than the extremely functional dancefloor stuff which is experimental almost accidentally...
