Funky House/UK Funky??? What a load of wank

karmacazee · Post by **karmacazee** » Sun Jun 14, 2009 11:31 pm

I don't claim to be that on the ball when it comes to new music, but it seems to me that there may be a difference between funky house and just plain UK funky?

That's just confusing if there is. The only real funk happened in the 70's/early 80's. George Clinton all the way.... And those people made the funk with real groove and style, with real instruments and everything.... Nooooooooooooooooo!

This song, nay this album FTW for a funky groove....

Bah, couldn't find the tune I was after, but this is sample gold..... Listen to the drum rolls at 1:31 onwards. Perfect.

Bah, damn my inept search options when I'm drunk. Funkadelic, Maggot Brain, the whole album. If you don't own that album then you deserve to die.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.

Found it.

Made in 1970. Nineteen fucking seventy. Listen to that riff. Then listen closerto how good the rhythm and bass sounds. Magic.

For even more true funkniness, check out what I consider to be the birth of groove and soul, i.e. true funk (unbeknownst to the three aficionados that played this concert.):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO9wO_SD-Sc

Three people. A drummer with he best voice I've ever heard, best guitarist EVER, and a bassist that could hold the Empire state together. What more could you ask for???? When that little drum roll kicks in, and then the three nof them are playing together.... Argh, makes me want to cum...

Look, I know, I know. But imagine being around at the time this stuff was released. I know it would have blown my mind to the next level...

it may sound good if the bass is drowning out the riff....

but this isnt good even by the early nineties standards

whatever floats your boat though

Funky is sick imo. Dark Knight, Roksa and Apple are all amazing.

EDIT: If anything it reminded me of some grime tunes hahha....

Properly grinning at being reminded how funky this tune is... She's going for gold on those vocals isn't she??? lol, abit OTT though...

Oh, and thanks from my brother too, he's sitting in the same room as me and broke into a stoned/drunken/embarassing/broke everything glass withing a 2M distance of himself dance...

My poor stolen pub glasses!!!

yeh this uk funky does nothing for me either
Roska has probably got the closest to something i could possibly like, but thats it
its all too grimey
a better name would have been Grime House imho
but hey each to there own init
if you wanna hear proper house listen to Francois K

this thread is abselutely ridiculous, if you have nothing else better to do with your existance than post shitty little threads on an off topic bored, in a forum full of trolls, then please...think, and throw your pc away..

am running out of insults

deamonds · Post by **deamonds** » Mon Jun 15, 2009 1:07 pm

also, i dont know why people are posting fucking reccomendations in this thread, if you fucks spent a little lest time posting in here and actually using the rest of the site, you would see a whole forum on this style of music...

*cough* well that killed the vibes

true say though, give the funky forum a bit of time and it will come up with the goods

I haven't heard much UK Funky that I clicked with but Kode 9 and Grievous Angel are both into it and they have impeccable taste.

Some of the comments on here sound like me and thousands of other jungle heads did when speed garage came out. And we were seriously wrong!

Also, anyone who uses the word "gay" to insult any form of club music should be forced to listen to Frankie Knuckles & Jamie Principal's 'Baby Wants To Ride' over and over until they fucking get it.

oxide · Post by **oxide** » Mon Jun 15, 2009 2:11 pm

great things in funky right now, im enjoying it last months.

and if guys which i like in dubstep and music generally like kode 9, ramadanman, untold, pangaea, martyn etc etc are allright with that,
thats an another good sign.

Funky House/UK Funky??? What a load of wank

Who is online
