dubbage is jsut deep house really, dubby basslines, minimal vocals, ect ect, its not a new style

[Dubby]

it's a bit funny how people are chatting about "why are you making a skank about a disease" when everyone's doing the migrane skank like it's not along the same lines

he has a point thoughthese man will co sign a song which is about doing a pre school nursery rhyme or having a headache but dismiss this. Its all in the same box.

[Dubby]

what do you mean by "being extra"? if you mean I'm creating an argument for the sake of having an argument then yes, you are correct - but it just popped up in my head so I thought I'd post it -I pretty much agree with the fact that swine flu skank is stupid + I do the migrane skankthis room's a bit dead still, need to do something to liven it up

[Da Luv Doc]

Not more f*ck*ng names!!! SMH

i think the quality of the djin is weak when it come to the uk funky. apart from the top four which i think is marcus, pioneer, supa d and footloose aint no1 else looking to be creative enough wen mixin uk funky.. hence y all the sets sound the same... n therefore the music dnt sound fresh and exciting as it should do.the skank tunes are a mess, i only really like migraine skank i think u can do some mad mixes wiv dat track n make it even more exciting to the ravers.i also think that some parts of the music are being killed off by those who hav jumped in it to make pee or to re-brand demselves as a djs. the westwood crib sessions was an interesting idea because no1 else can do that sort of thing but as long as westwood dnt bring it to his shows as a segment im cool. im not 2 much of big fan of how cameo has jumped on the ting, not 2 sure if he is doing it 4 da love or he doin it for the money, or doin it because his show myt be dead out so needs extra empphh! things like funky jam sessions shouldnt be happening right now.. i think maida vale studios with its rich history of musical talent recording there like Bob Marley, Elton John and The Beetles to name just a few. I think you need to be established and highly regarded to be doing your thing there. If K.I.G. or Gracious had been doing there ting like Crazy Cousinz or Doneao (to some extent) over a long period of time then I would slyly support it but I dont think its quite that time.... maybe some people upstairs feel like the music doesnt have longevity right now, so are saying, get these guys in there quick before the style dies out. The clips where 2 or 3 mins long.. sorry that speaks volumes compared to the 20 mins CC segment.The right management and control of the music and it can go far, the Ministry of Sound compilation is a positive as is the CC album. Volumes 1 was excellent also. I'm not an expert on all of this but i can feel what is positive n negativethese are just my opinions, no disrespect to any1

[imhim]

sorry? funky? wots dat?

the only person that i think had the energy and stage performance was donaeo the rest were diabolical oh yeah kyla done alright an all

im not 2 much of big fan of how cameo has jumped on the ting, not 2 sure if he is doing it 4 da love or he doin it for the money, or doin it because his show myt be dead out so needs extra empphh!

agree with basically everythign you said especially this....cameo the self proclaimed 'mvp of bassline'guy will jump on ANY bandwagon to keep his show on 1xtra, guys a c*nt.

[Sleepz]

Cameo is straight d*ckhead.

[djbmc]

c/s the above 2 posts, who remembers when he tried that whole "dirty pop" bandwagon and it flopped? don't hear him bigging that up anymore, he's a complete c*nt. Thing is it would be ok but he drops everything else for the sake of whatever's big at the moment, and then has the f*ck*ng cheek to go on 1xtra and say stuff like "i'm a trailblazer, wot i'm playing now everyone else will be playing in 6 months time" I almost punched my f*ck*ng radio.

[DJ Sef]

im glad some people agree with wot im sayin, u man are goin ard on cameo doe! looool! i do think his quality control with the uk funky could be better, i aint a fan of 079 me yet he brought dem onto 1xtra for a live pa n interview! i wasnt very impressed with that, when i touched 1xtra for a guest mix, i was maaad proud of myself for gettin that far, i felt it as a massive achievement i worked hard for because the doors are normally shut on those things there. from what I know only the big four had done a mix on there so you see what I'm getting at. i had a story about my work before touching 1x, i was interviewed at length about it also on da Asian Network Obviously being a DJ its slyly different but none the less i think the same rules apply to artists.Now it feel like any tom, d*ck or harry can get on it n hav non-appealin music being played on the station with no story behind dem. u gotta earn it and no so long ago that was the case. for me that is not quality control and that what is needed for the scene that people are tryna build to get into the mainstream or even better into the international house scene mainly US for their Music Conferences. In saying that personally hitting Southport would be a better and more realistic target if thats what the main players are looking to do.

[Dubby]

They should release the Migraine Skank acapella like they did with Tribal Skank, whenever it ends up being released.

[djbmc]

this is why funky won't last, back in the day new movements in music, like jungle, and garage spread slowly, and gathered a strong underground following, meaning there was a steady flow of tunes that broke into the mainstream in some way from the undeground/specialist nights and pirate radio. These days with the internet, you can be the next big thing and not even realise it urself, and before you've had a chance to capitalise on ur success, all of a sudden, ur not relevant anymore and u get forgotten about, because ppl always want the freshest new thing.

[J Beatz]

Another reason why funky is a bit mad atm is there isn't enough tunes anymore theres a couples new ill blu ones some more sh*t skanks like hardcore skank and etc in 08 there was bare tunes and now 09 funky has got bigger but yet there isn't much new tunes as before it dont make sense

[DJ Sef]

there is a lot of tunes, i just believe its not in the hands of enough djs

[Roy Batty]

People worry too much about what other people think and do.Circle got big cos they pushed forward with a sound and did their own thing. And then that whole side of UK House started worrying about what the yutes were doing and began getting more attention for saying negative things about other people than the positive work they had done for a good couple of years pushing their own thing.DJs playing music cos they think that's what other people want to hear. Then you end up with every DJ playing the same 15 tunes in a set.Need more people going out there and having a musical identity. It worked for Marcus cos he was playing that harder darker stuff. It worked for Circle cos they were playing the more 'mature' sound that wasn't for the back of the bus.All this bandwagoning that u get from 'urban' DJs is dead. The kids are meant to jump on the latest thing, not grown men who are supposedly professionals.

[J Beatz]

Amen

[Lenny]

C/S Logan.

[Da Luv Doc]

Logan smashed it and I agree with sef.A dj is sh*t if they just play for what they think people will like, instead of playing stuff they, themselves have a feeling for.These former garage djs are swag, can't mix and just jump on life boats.I respect Logan because man could have jumped on the funky (I'm guess 57374764685 people ask you why don't you play funky, no?) and your own taste in music determines if you get respected by guys who would look in depth into thinks (like everyone on here clocking cameos life boat movements).

[Roy Batty]

I don't mind people playing what the people like. Heartless did it. They were nang.But there's a good 5 or 6 DJs out now who just bounce from scene to scene playing whatever is trendy and then have the cheek to go on like they are actually pushing musical boundaries or trend setting. That's whack to me.I just play what I enjoy to listen to and if people like it that's a bonus, and if I earn a living from it that's a blessing.
