this was a big tune in Canada
pal joey is the mannn. "hot music" is like a blueprint in a lot of ways. you can see its influence in daz-i-cue/bugz...you can see its influence in hiphop too. this is bilal doing a cover of it.

Sick! Alicia Keys killed that. She was a favourite of mine back in the day. Haven't followed her for shit in like 4 or 5 years though.

Yeah, it's all about 'Drumz Nightmare'. Such a big, clean tune. Loving those harp (?) wipes that are cropping up all over the place at the moment too. Floating Points seems to use them a lot (might not be a harp, just sounds like that).

i'm definitely feeling karizma's stuff in a big big way these days... "twyst this" and 33rd st anthem are absolutely glorious. the US has such a huge canon of house music to draw inspiration from, a little UK-US dialogue would be good, i think.

Martin,

From now on when writing for either online or print publications, please use a spell check and proper grammar. Otherwise I tend to ignore anything being said and focus on the glaring inability to spell or correctly form sentences, which is wholly more important in life.

Nice of you to come all the way down from your ivory tower to visit.

Don't be so emo. Nothing has been ruined because someone critiqued the article. People have been offering analysis of numerous things within this thread, not all of it was positive. The thread is hardly ruined by any one post and if it was, it wasn't that good a thread anyway innit

The truth is that it doesn't matter what I think of Funky, the people who punters turn to for "the new thing" have already shined a spotlight on the funky sound. 3000 imitations popped up and that's the direction it's going in.

Dear Mr Subbing Dullard,

Thanks for the advice. I prefer the woods to the trees and the message to the medium, but if you're so concerned with spelling, why do you say you are from Bristol but spell the word colour "color?"

Except of course if you say you live in Bristol but actually live in Chesterbrook, PA, USA.

Yours in spelling ignorance,

Blackdown (actually lives in LDN).

Chesterbrook, PA, USA is where the host of our domain is... one of the biggest hosts on the planet. Look into it

Ah good to know. Well in that case "color" is spelt colour to us Brits, in case you didn't clock. Sub thy self Lord Grammar of Threadspoiler.

geroyche · Post by **geroyche** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 9:22 pm

alright.
before i am off to sub:stance, i am gonna try to get this thread back on track.
i have already made a comment beneath the original post (feel free to refer to it).
additionally, maybe i should point out that the territoriality issue in the post kinda rubbed me the wrong way.
it does sound a little like "screw y'all, we're london and we're moving fwd".
i know you clarified that in further comments.

i am kind of intrigued that suddenly house is supposed to be to the rescue.
and i do share some of su's thought (we're both German after all): here at least it is perceived as though the funky stuff was sophisticated and upper middle class, whereas the wobble was stupid and proletariate.
also, and i will repeat that, from a German perspective, "we" never fully understood the appeal of grime/garage (the world didn't, just compare hiphop to grime on an international stage). we did however understand the dry, machine-like sounds that dubstep carved out

there is, let's face it, a large percentage of audience that seeks "explosion" rather than "implosion", as bunzero so brilliantly put it.
i am not ready to condemn either. i will condemn any formulaic sound however, and i am glad that the generic term "dubstep" atm is broad enough to house ever-inspiring facettes.
