By martin clarke!Monday, December 17, 2007Wot Do U Call It: Funky?A few weeks ago, I headed down to Rinse HQ to interview funky/funky house DJ, Supa D, for the sleevenotes to his new compilation, the third in the series of Rinse mix CDs. What began as a simple fact finding mission decended into an unplanned, remarkable, state-of-the-'nuum discussion.While the conversation began between myself at Supa D, key influential players began to contribute. First in came Rinse's Geeneus, then Ammunition's Soulja. Finally, with delicious timing, Bingo's Zinc wandered through to make a cup of tea.Between them is a massive wealth of history and influence on London urban music in the last decade or more. Having DJed jungle, UK garage and bit of grime, Supa D is currently one of the, if not the, biggest DJ in the rising funky/funky house/Wot do u call it 2? scene.Soulja began raving to UK garage, before embarking on a career in the music industry. She's signed the publishing of acts such as Ms Dynamite, So Solid, Dizzee Rascal and Wiley, spotting their talent at street level long before her peers. In 2001 she co-founded Ammunition promotions, Tempa and started Forward>>, the first club designed to showcase the then emerging underground sounds of dark garage/proto dubstep, breakbeat garage and proto-grime.Geneeus was there at Rinse's inception, the day in the 1990s it first went on air, DJing jungle, and later UK garage. Having grown up with friends like Slimzee, Wiley and Target, he played a pivotal role in the birth of grime, as part of one of the genres' three founding crews, Pay As U Go. He's continued his involvement with grime and Rinse but has recently discovered a passion for funky.Zinc made his name as a jungle and drum & bass pioneer and continues to producer and DJ d&b worldwide but has also collaborated with Geeneus on funky tunes as Moonshine. Around 2000 he inadvertently altered the course of UK garage with "138 Trek," taking d&b sensibilities and energy levels to a garage audience.It was a halcyon era, where a tempo plateau around 138bpm saw multiple genres and scenes mixing and interacting, with the old school UK garage guard meeting the upstarts of raw proto-grime, dark 4x4 beats like DJ Narrows being mixed with Zinc-inspired breakbeat garage rollers, housey Todd Edwards-style 4beat mixed into proto-dubstep like El-B, Horsepower and Zed Bias.Since then the various factions have either diverged or fragmented, occasionally interacting but seldom truly engaging in sustained dialog. Until summer 2007. Seven years on, suddenly it felt like there was another tempo plateau appearing again, not in London, but in Ayia Napa, the holiday destination of multicultural urban Britain, both north and south. Forced to entertain all types of ravers in the same rave, entertainers like Luck & Neat, Heartless Cru and most of all, Boy Betta Know, began mixing London grime with bassline house, London funky house with dubstep. Suddenly Coki and Benga's "Night" was the biggest tune in funky, and T2 found himself at number 2 with "Heartbroken."It's with this backdrop that I met Supa D. While much has been written about grime, bassline house and dubstep, there is a real sense of energy and enthusiasm around the funky/funky house scene. While house is in itself nothing new, with it's roots in the late 1970s Chicago and a massive global dance industry long since established through the superclubbing era of the mid to late 90s, the confluence of house beats with an urban audience seems like a change. While this first seem to begin summer 06, the momentum and enthusiasm around the scene is both refreshing, infectious and familiar. The key players dont even know what to call it - and history tells us Wot Do U Call It moments mean something's afoot.While many of the players have seen all the recent nuum phases, funky feels uncannily like UK garage again. Watching it begin to unfold gives you deja vu, and not just because Supa D started on... Deja Vu.This sense of familiarity, of a series of linear events leading full circle, is unmistakeable. Interviewing Supa D is like having both telepathy and visions of the future. You feel the echoes of the past and are able to predict developments.There's a new urban scene in London: it's warm and housey, you can dance to it, it's vocal, girls love it, the clubs are all "no hats, no hoods, no sportwear," it's massive in urban london, there a big raves with 50 DJs on the lineup. The old guard love the US stuff but the new breed wanna make UK beats. So what's next? is the average age of involvement going to drop when the "youngers" get involved? Will the beats then get rawer? Will the MCs begin to dominate the vocal tracks before taking centre stage? Will the majors snoop around to sign vocal chart hits? Will the music mutate and become rawer? Will the chart hype kill eventually kill the scene?Am I talking about UK garage circa 2000 or funky circa 2007?It could be either.A few people might have read my dismay when funky first reared it's head, summer 2006, not least because the chance for UK urban music to have a groundbreaking and popular genre of its own was being challenged. Furthermore the 4x4 kick is often a musical dead end, that once conditioned ravers will accept no alternative. Listening to Supa's CD, musically it's not that groundbreaking. But the excitement around the scene from it's players is infectious and the odds that it will evolve into something interesting, via its own "Pulse X" or "Capsule," are high - early bets are on Apple with his percussive, soca-ish sound.Its also refreshing in contrast to the status quo. Frankly I've been sick of attending clubs this year to hear, formulaic, noisy, comically aggressive, soulless "dubstep" records made by faux angry boys, or not being able to attend grime clubs (with performances by men who's anger I dont doubt) because the Metropolitan Police have the powers to pre-emptively strike the chances of someone possibly committing a crime. If funky comes along and shakes all this up, I'm all ears.There's been a lot of wingeing from the dubstep community over the adoption of funky into the Forward>> line up this summer. That winging is woefully shortsighted: I think it's a very smart move by Soulja and Geeneus. Whatever you think about the sound - as I've said, right now, sonically it doesn't seem that innovative - history has shown that the momentum generated by London's nuum is unstoppable, that when the community moves as one like this or like it did in the late 90s to switch from jungle to garage, it can't be prevented. You just have to go with it.Now perhaps this might seem a little strange to people who haven't witnessed the pendulum swing like this before, but I've lost count of the people who've discovered dubstep in the last two years and now regret writing off UK garage. I've lost count of the number of times there were 15 of us on the Forward>> dancefloor - just as there is now when DJs play funky at FWD>> - raving to dubstep DJs who now fill stadiums. I've lost count of people who dismissed dressy UKG clubs as fake, too-girly or shallow, without truly understanding the communities that filled these clubs or the music that they made, who now play silly money on eBay for MDubs 12"s just because Kode9 dusted them off. What I'd say now is, don't make the same mistakes twice.London has fertile musical soil and from it many exciting sounds and scenes have grown in the last twenty years or more. Their fate, however, has not always been the same. Jungle grew in this soil, but in the late 90s it cut its own roots and withered, so that now it's formulaic, noisy, comically aggressive and soulless made by faux angry boys (dont just take my word for it, ask Burial).London has an uncanny ability for mutation and growth. By playing funky at Forward>>, the roots are being preserved and new seeds are being sown. "Moving forwards>>, never backwards," is the club's motto, not "dubstep til I die."CD TRACKLIST BREAKDOWN:At this point it's interesting to break down the producers on the tracklist:Perempay was once Bossman from Essentials, Dee is Davinche from Essentials, Moonshine is Geeneus (sometimes Geeneus and Zinc), Donae'o used to do UKG and grime.DelaCruz is UKG's Deliquent, Jay's Kitchen is garage's MC Viper and Simone sang an old garage tune.The rest of the CD are new to me. They include Rinse DJ NG, Tadow and Fingerprint from south London's Invasion records, 1Xtra's Footloose, Matic a South London producer, Apple, MA1, Fuzzy Logic, Funky Junkies from east London and Naughty, a new DJ, part of HLC Entertainment.
