    I take it you meant "Connoisseurs"?

    Skilled in language?

    Would a wine connoisseur not be skilled in taste etc? why would he be skilled in language?

    Odd.

    oops. leaving out an s is a simple small error.
    saying his 'longetevity' statement or whatever it was was what i was referring to.

    what i meant was, a connoisseur who declares himself as one on an internet forum, would surely be able to communicate his fine taste in a coherent and understandable manner.
    especially when he is apparently a connoiseur in a communicative art.

    but i see your point.

    not a fan of funky house myself, seems to cheesy-ish, makes me think of people sitting around a swimming pool in miami wearing speedos and six packs all over the shop, sipping cocktails and generally being camp as fook.

    read back through the other pages just now and i agree with a lot of the comments that were made about funky house being hair dresser music.

    the stuff you listen to johnny might be more underground non commercial stuff (if that exists) but funky house as a whole sucks ass.

    and it deffo aint music for grown ups. i agree about trance aswell, music for skobie kunts or the dutch.

    imo the likes of progressive, tech house would be music for grown ups, if that makes any sense.

    yep its dead easy to spot irish people sown there,handy to avoid them too.
    they pretty much cover all types of house down there but the scantily clad woman always seem to go to the funky house events.

    yep,the likes of tech house is less obvious than funky house,doesnt rely on catchy vocals(i know not all funky house tracks rely on catchy vocals) more just a good groove,which most people new to dance music or younger folk,might not get excited about.i get what your saying about it being more grown up

    haha your probably right, i am lucky enough to have my portable hard drive in work with couple of hundred live sets on it.

    currently listening to James_Holden___4_Years_of_Full_Spectrum_19-9-08_pt_2.mp3

    yes, his mixing may be a little dodgy sometimes but the tracks he plays must be near impossible to mix.

    sorry getting off topic, go back to posting funky darylea hehe

    i can't decide whether i hate the genre more than the name or vice versa tbh...

    criminally unambitious lowest common denominator music, that sounds non threatening blasting out of the speakers at toni and guy on a sturday afternoon and doesnt' demand too much attention to be danced to later that evening in the club

    :D The onslaught just gets better!

    So is this what Hed Kandi is all about then? - The covers alone made my stomach churn when I've seen them about.

    aw i love his sound and the border community sound. think theyre at the forefront of dance music for the last 3 or 4 years, playing a fairly unique brand of music.

    anyways to get back on topic, isnt hed kandi just a brand name now, that any old gob****es can have a hed kandi night as long as they pay for the name, as in anybody can dj under the hed kandi guise.

    i still deny that funky house is a genre

    its house, because house is funky as a rule, the offshoots of house tend to lose the funk alrite, but funky house is like saying electronic techno imo
    I'd tend to agree with that.

    I'd be a big fan of house music that has a funky sound to it, always have, but not what would be considered Funky House nowadays.

    I think nowadays Funky House is just a label to describe the cheesier end of the dance market. Just look at any "Funky House" chart and it just tends full of more Stilton than you find in an English food market. And I also think that people that don't like dance music with vocals would tend to call it Funky House which is generally wrong imo.

    I absolutely hate it.

    Brash, commercial, unsophisticated, cheesy, lowest common denominator music designed for plastic nightclubs and the great unwashed.

    Lacking depth, intellectually devoid, and aestethically repulsive.Musically infantile, sonically cliched, and disgustingly superficial.

    Well you asked for opinions!

    thats the best discription of minimal i have heard.
