Honestly, do you really think I follow Funky?! I'm not arsed however much you want to try say uk funky is doing it in 2011, I don't follow it, I don't listen to it, I don't make UK Funky tracks, why would I pay attention to something where the most popular tracks were 'skanks'. Wasn't exactly promising was it. What do you mean 'precious DEA producers' you clearly have me mistaken for some UK Garage fan boy that bums every producer under the sun - Todd Edwards etc. No. I'll have Grant Nelson, London Connection, Jeremy Sylvester, Kerri Chandler instead, any day. I wasn't bothered about Grime, didn't try to stop it coming through, it actually had an edge and the majority of it was actually dark and had some balls, it wasnt singing nursery rhymes.Died a death months ago?? It was people like you that tried to stop grime coming through. Bitter and jaded cause they're flailing scene was losing out to a more popular offshoot born through the roots of the stale genre.
Also, you must have your head in the sand
Hyperdub has signed ossie
Lil silva has been MERKING 2011
Petchy has been kaning radio NO END
Marcus Nasty has been kaning rinse fm, touring up and down the country
one of your precious garage producers DEA have got a funky release out
Terror Danjah's hardrive recordings has just release Champions banger
I could go on, seriously, let me know if you want me to, cause I will..
I wasn't hating, I was just pointing out why I didn't like it, all the skanks and people going 'bubbly bubbly' put me off, because, not sure if you noticed, but that's what the majority of it was back in 2009. I didn't care to follow, its not my genre of music so why would I choose to follow it.how can you hate so much on the genre when it's so common to garage? i mean really????
What's your point? Yes I did, I was simply saying all the people who bum the 'UK' part of Garage needed to realise people like him aren't gonna 'bring it back'. Who the fuck wants it to come back anyway? That's half the reason it died back in the millenium, it got all trendy and 'street'. Garage needs a healthy underground scene.did you actually mention Mike Skinner in your post aswell..
That's the point, they weren't names, they were just people who thought yeah lets make this and try and be all popular. Know how I know that? Because I haven't seen them post things lately, they're busy doing something else and obviously have neither stuck with Grime or UK Funky.Name name's?? These points can't stand unless you name names! Because you are obviously friends on wassbook with some talentless people.
Like I said, I was never really interested in UK Funky. Of course in any genre there's the shit stuff on top, but if I'm not following that scene why would I bother to when I do it for Garage and House anyway. Did I say the House scene was perfect? At any point did I say every sub genre of House was amazing? No. That's because there's still shit like Hard House, Scouse House, Progressive House that is still fuelled by absolute shite.Fair enough the MC'ing thing went a bit too far, but are you so blind that you cannot seperate the weak from the chaff? You get that in every genre, look at the progressive scene in your precious house genre, its 100% wank piano drivel...
Again, you obviously don't know me. I'm not someone who's into 'cheesy vocal garage', I like darker, deeper, rawer Garage. Check my London Underground EP out, its not something any birds are gonna jump up and fucking dance to. Do I care? No, thats not what or who I make it for. Oh, did you just lightly say 'Dubstep stemmed from Garage'? Well men on the moon, thanks sherlock I would never have guessed that. Of course that's why, also people were no doubt influenced by the darker rave influenced vibes from heads like Groove Chronicles.People like you are the ones who just end up making everything stale. Music needs progression and bastardization, if it didn't it wouldn't of got to where it is today? Where THE FUCK did you think dubstep came from, from people getting annoyed with cheesy vocal garage, so they started taking the darker B-Side influence and creating their own.. I guarantee there were pricks like you at the time slating it off, where are they now?? still playing the same stuff as they were over 10 years ago.
And good for you, you found a song by a producer who's actual weaker tracks are better and more hyped than mine. That's amazing, you found someone who is a better producer than me, wow. I feel really humbled now. Lol. Obviously I had no idea that there are lots of people who are better than me. If you really want to know I'm from London, but live in Leeds at the moment. I really don't follow the scene in London anymore, due to, you know, living in a complete different city and all. Maybe you do know people in berlin and nz who are more on the state of things than me. Imo, i've got a pretty good idea of things. I dont follow things like Uk Funky so am not gonna know what everyone is doing in it. However, ask me about soulful or deep house or tech house, which is what I do, and you're on the money.
I'm guessing you're referring to Garage. I think it needs to lose all the prefixes, ESPECIALLY 'UK'. That is just limiting it. Anyone not noticed how Future Garage is actually popular with people outside of the UK, russia, america, france. It certainly wasn't popular when it was just 'UK Garage'. But as always the 'UK G' heads are so single minded and just couldn't possibly let their oh so special born-and-bred-in-the UK version of Garage be available to people outside of the United Kingdom. Luckily, those heads are of the minority, but thats what's holding it back still.I think Future and Nu need to be ditched for any genre prefix. I don't mind Post so much, but happens after that?
