great article and an interesting read for someone looking into the london scene from outside and not fully understand the constant shifts
really liked this bit

but yeah, funkstep is a pretty fucking awful name.... seems to be the way these days thoughGiven all this fragmentation and distancing and differing of opinions, you have to wonder: Is funky already dead? Probably not, although like the name itself, funky’s identity has always teetered on an ambiguous point. Which is kind of perfect, really: funky as an “anti-name,” the kind of thing born out of 20-plus years of genre-waving until everyone just got sick of it. Like, if you had to title every new fashion season something new, and eventually you were just like, “fuck it… let’s just call this season 'clothes.'”

He's not talking about how it came to be called funky though, he's talking about why he thinks it's an apt tag.groucho_marxx wrote:Why are people trying to be deep or philosophical about this?!badger wrote:great article and an interesting read for someone looking into the london scene from outside and not fully understand the constant shifts

I could be massively wrong because I'm just going on what's been quoted here, my work computer wont let me on to the site to read the article haha.

the way they talk about genres and scenes and the death of stuff makes me feel strangely anxious, until i remember its all just music. seems a bit of an overly-serious article

Funkstep = SIGH
Londoners going nuts as always.
the whole reason Cooly and Roska are so sick is they crossover seamlessly, without rebranding or hype
