Do you like funky house?

BaZmO* · 02-12-2008 10:29pm

Jeez, what's with all the anger in here?

Listen lads the simple fact of the matter (yeah I said FACT) is that some Funky House is sh1t and some Minimal House is sh1t, it's only labels anyway. But I'd never be so narrow minded as to dimiss a whole genre of music just because of who listens to it or how "intelligent" it was. You can intellectualise music til the cows come how, and if that's your bag fair dues, but I'd rather just enjoy music for what it is and how it makes me feel regardless of whatever tags or labels that come with it, and if I don't like it I just won't bother with it but I certainly wouldn't slate someone for liking it.

So there! And anybody that doesn't like that gets a smack of an oldskool stick or an intelligent hammer!!

Just on the subject of being off topic.....Jeff what was the name of a track you made a few years back...you had it as a download on your Myspace page. Brilliant track, kinda like Francois K, quite blippy and dare I say Funky (ha!)

I had a copy of it and can't find it now.

Scubadevils · 02-12-2008 11:12pm

Ok, having had a quick cup of tea :pac: I have now calmed down and have logged back in... I want a 'music intelligence test' conducted, all jokes aside - are you up for it jsuited? How about you post a youtube track that you consider intelligent with an analysis as to why and the same then for a track on the other end of the spectrum, again with reasons why. I genuinely would like to hear an evaluation, and without too many technical words that will zip over my head!

And Jonny please, lay off IDM - it's only a name!!! Many years of spectacular music, don't let a term get in the way of that...

That one rings a bell alright but I'm not a 100% sure. It was a few years back definitely. Probably around the time you signed up to Boards

jtsuited · 02-12-2008 11:17pm

jaysus wasn't then.
i signed up to boards march 2005. i had a rock album on the go back then, hadn't become a techno degenerate.

there is no conspiracy is almost definitely the track your looking for. it has that francois k vibe about it. i think. zascar has it on a mix of his.

um, this would be interesting. it'd be a lot easier actually with a piano though. as opposed to finding a youtube track but i'll think of something to show what i'm on about.

BaZmO* · 02-12-2008 11:22pm

I'd like to sign up to this experiment too.

I think we need a new thread though.

Any chance of getting a copy of that track?

I'm thinking more on the lines of a track say that you currently love, minimal, techno, whatever... then compare that to something from the 'funky house' genre maybe, or any other electronic track that you would consider lacking in creativity or intellect. Give your analysis from a production point of view for both and explain why - in somewhat layman terms if possible, i.e. the drum programming is excellent/cr*p because... the synths are excellent/cr*p, etc.

on it.

BaZmO* · 02-12-2008 11:36pm

Here's a track that I'd consider Funky House, although I know a lot of people wouldn't, and as I've said before, the type of music that is labelled Funky House nowadays probably skews the impressions or at least causes the confusion.

Now how anybody could say this track last intelligence is beyond me.

thats a house track

theres no need for the word funky in the prefix

its house, simple as that

But that's why I said that's what I consider to be "Funky House"
The track that Conor74 posted is what's considered "Funky House" nowadays I supposed. Personally I don't really like that type of stuff as the vast majority is extremely generic, soulless, unimaginative and boring. But hey, that's just my opinion.

13 odd pages of abuse I'm sure...

Zascar · 31-01-2009 12:55pm

Good work.

Guys take a listen to Fabric 40 by Mark Farina, I'd class this as funky/underground/chicago house and its a brilliant cd..

http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=94712

Oh and I don't care what anyone says I just think this is a deadly tune lol

I know I know it is seriosuly cheesey but I heard it on the radio the other day and it still brought a smile to my face

stomprockin · 15-10-2011 11:07pm

***Bump*** :pac:

I'm intersted in what people consider "Funky House" is these days? it was interesting reading people views on what thay considered "Funky House" is.

2 years on... has it changed?

DubDJ · 18-10-2011 12:46pm

Damn! I just read through 13 odd pages and on the last page I seen the *bump* posts and realized it was old

BTW I love Funky/Commercial House. Also Love Deep House. Small bit of Tech House. Guess i'm only intelligent on one side of my brain

g5fd6ow0hseima · 18-10-2011 8:11pm

I thought this was either a thread started by Johnny68, or the new name for the random thread. It's neither.

But this new tune of Gaiser's just shows how M_nus has actually stooped lower than what is humanely possible. One of the worst records filed under 'techno' I have ever heard.

Unlike some people who change musical genres in line with "whatever is hip this season" ive always championed and liked funky house although id probably prefer more Soulful type House, some funky house i agree is cheesy nonsense but every genre has bad tunes.

here's a new Funky/Soulful type tune on MN2S...

Not always a fan of the stuff you post Jonnny, but I love that, especially the bongos! Although, he slightly over does it on the samples.

es-cee · 23-10-2011 2:42am

wouldn't be a big fan of funky house, altho the odd bit can be alright i suppose. one of my mates loves it, but he's really just into anything disco bar oriented :rolleyes:

Do you like funky house?
