Funky/London/UK House
sending in funky... isn't that missing the point of funky!? or, isn't that funky deviating from it's raison d'etre?
This just in my inbox,
the mp3 store on ukfunky.com is up, with 10 tunes by Mini Kingz, DJ Tremendous, N.B Funky, Kush & DJ Mystery up now, more coming over the next week I'm told
http://ukfunky.com/
Nice work! Finally got my grubby digital-djing fingers on Gabryelle refix
that would be Geeneus' raison d'etre yh? I'm sure there are as many reasons for the shift to funky as there are 'ex-grime' crew in funky.
Fierce competition is nothing new in House either, Lil' Louis used to pressure Marshell Jefferson into not passing his tunes out to any other DJs cos they were both from the same 'side' of Chicago.
I assumed this is just standard pirate banter, all in good fun & in part tongue in cheek. There is abit in a Crazi Cousinz show where dramas surrounding a certain DJ & access to a DJ Naughty remix are aired 'indirectally' Those 'Say No...' flyers? All the same thing isn't it?

Check out the DJ Mystery tunes as well & 'Green Light' by Footsteps, big tune!
'Quicktime' by DJ Naughty went up yesterday as well for anyone that didn't get it on 12"
The guys running ukfunky.com are tip-top as well! Can't recommend the store enough!!
Considering his old shows on Rinse, I'd be checking for a pulse! If Mak10 can stir him up abit & re-light that fire. Get him selecting & mixing house the way he did grime... oh my. His shows were nuts! Competition lines, chatting with listeners over the air, even with no MCs in the studio he used to bring SO much energy.
Best bit I can remember from a show, playing that Ripperman tune, comes on the mic,
'There's no light in the studio... I feel like I'm DJing in a rave!'
I swear Spyro nicked that 'I'm mixing from here' 'Start tapeing from now!' off Bossman didn't he?
Edit;
Also,
Where is the 'funky' version of 'Bongo Eyez'!?!

yeah i've been really impressed with the ukfunky shop. selection's ramping up quickly and the service is really good. hopefully invasion will hop in with them since their site has flaked out. and if the naughty tune is a sign that spoilt rotten is board then that bodes well.
the mystery, x5 and minikingz tunes are floating my boat right now.

Bought 5 tunes
One of them was Green Light, which downloaded as a 2kb file
Emailed them so hopefully getting the full version soon.

perempay's tunes are a zillion times better than his djing.

someone called or texted in to say it was boring and they made a joke out of it is how it sounds to me, nothing more sinister than that.
Must say I was a bit dubious about this stuff coming through at the beginning, but after checking a few mixes, it's really starting to grow on me. I'd be interested to hear how this goes when they really start pushing the riddims out into more challenging african polyrhythm vibes.
The sound aesthetic's really appealing to me too, cause it sounds to me to be more about using presets and concentrating on the music more rather than putting the emphasis on sound design and perfect mixdowns which I've always found to be the endgame of most dead genres.
