i can't get on youtube at work but i'd guess the tune is township funk which has just been released and is in at boomkat and juno; if it's not that then that's all that's been released as far as i know

It's an arts blog I write for, with a general audience, not a specialist dance crowd, so I kept the initial post quite vague and not really topical beyond talking about the 1xtra show... it gets into a bit more detail in the discussion below, including a shout to the Bribkin Feel free to weigh in!
Thanks Joe!!
Well I weight 8.5 - 9 stone, it seems to fluctuate greatly often in relation to how much I drank the night before (drink more = weigh less = dehydration).
I do have some more thoughts, hopefully they'll come out later.
I have been enjoyin this set recently, after firtsly being very hessitant to get on board with Funky, as I have been listen to dirty hosue tunes and techno for a long long time and most of it has decended into cheese. But this set is wicked and the really grimey street end of this music is so raw and energetic that I'm finding the odd tune an absolute delight.

U must be from Sunderland.

They know how to rave to machina, tuck there trackie b's into their socks and beg for tac.
Mackem bastards. (not bein racist, people from south of the Tyne are not classed as a race.)
I heard an interview he hasd with DJ Rupture and enjoyed what he had to say about "Funky House". Very cool. And even more interesting the comments he made about the whole dubstep scene in general. Great listening pleasure!

I enjoyed the Kode9 mix - but I wouldn't make a habit of listening to this.
I went through a period of listening to funky house, broken beat, deep house and nu-jazz stuff - which this sounds like. I still re-visit it, but I'm baffled as to this 'new genre' thing that 'Funky' is trying to be.
After getting so hooked on the dubstep thing for the past couple of years I'd hate to see a big crossover to this sort of stuff from lots of producers. I'm all for innovation & progression, but this seems relatively far from dubstep as a genre.
Feel free to weigh in!
