funky techno???

[disco diva]

No this probably the wrong forum, but what do you guys think to funky techno, I cant say much on it as ive only really heard the freebie fergie cd of mixmag, but a few tunes, I really like ;)

[dirty_bass]

uh oh. Erm , funky techno is a VERY subjective term, as everyone has their own idea of funk.
I wouldn`t really class fergie as funky at all, I think generally he plays the more hard-house, hard-dance, agressive and energetic side of techno.
But as for what I would call funky techno, I love it. Funky to me is stuff that makes you shake your ass rather than jump up and down. Big B-Lines, loose chunky percussion, maybe a bit of a hip hop vocal.

[disco diva]

yeh, id class Fergie as a HH dj too, but this cd from mixmag is called funky techno mix & TBH im really liking it, track 2 is awesome called *ruckus Juice* by Justin Robertson. Need to obtain some more stuff like this, being not very clued up on the techno side of things, any help appreciated ;)

[Lisa Lavish]

haha you've just started a world war 3 thread :lol:

[disco diva]

eh? how where?? :eh: :?:

[dirty_bass]

post some links to examples of audio, and peeps may be able to help you.

[disco diva]

hahah funny guy, I can just about work out how to post on here, let alone anything else :oops: ;)

[dirty_bass]

ok, well I just had a listen to some justin robertson stuff.
And well, I don`t think many people on this board would consider it to be funky techno really, but hey, thats fergie for you (I`m not dissing the music)

The style would appear to be very much in line with the French electro-house, disco/electro techno sound.

I couldn`t recommend many mixes of this kinda stuff, although chris leibing has been known to go this way sometimes.

Raygun is a record label very much into this vibe, as was some of the Force inc stuff.

erm, some of it I like, it can be light hearted and quite silly sometimes, which can be refreshing what with the current po-faced trend in techno.

Anybody wanna help the girl?

I like going into a shop and asking if they have any "unfunky techno"
Jesus, what is this world coming 2?

:lol: :lol: Just trying to educate myself guys ;) what about Tomaz & Filterheadz & Marco Bailey??

[dirty_bass]

Marco bailey can be good, but I think it depends a lot on who he works with. Tomaz and Filterheadz, I`ve heard loads about but never heard any of the stuff.
I really should cos in the reviews of my progressive stuff, some quotes say "filterheadz style basslines", so I really should check these out.

[Sunil]

I think I know the sort of techno you are after, well kind of (!). I guess a lot of the funky techno you are after can also be labelled as 'clubby' techno these days. Here's a few suggestions then...

Check producers like Phil Kieran, Oxia, Leandro Gamez, Deetron, Samuel L.Session, Joey Beltram, G Flame, Umek, Trevor Rockliffe, Valentino Kanzyani, Ignition Technician, Ben Sims, Renato Cohen, Mr.G, Dave Angel, Jamie Anderson, Devilfish, Stanny Franssen, Thomas Schumacher, Gaetano Parisio, Marco Bailey, Technasia, Bryan Zentz, Danilo Vigorito, Ade Fenton.

Check labels like Intec, Bugged Out, Shine, Tortured, Superbra, Primate, Phont Music, Recycled Loops, Earresistible, Ingoma, STX, Genetic, Noise Music, Rotation, Bush, Terminal M, MB Elektronics etc.

[disco diva]

Thanx Sunil ;) Really liking the sound of this cd, not bad for a freebie & now I can go looking for others, cheers x

did he??oohhhh!! well if Marks wants to bollock me, fair enough, was a simple question & I am learning after all ;) :eh:

[schlongfingers]

I can't believe this. Theres's no such thing as funky techno - by nature techno is blah blaah blahhhh de blah de ballh house music blah de blah debalah. :dontevengothere:

Yep the labels mentioned above are what ya looking for. It sounds just like funky house but with less vocals and breakdowns. thats it.

[massplanck]

did he??oohhhh!! well if Marks wants to bollock me, fair enough,

its ok. we have reached zen here lately. Sunil is right on the bollock with those suggestions.

[disco diva]

Dont worry I'm only muckin about - call it wot you like!! It's techno at the end of the day. Wouldn't mind seein a tracklist for this Fergie CD, heard a few mins of him on the radio the other week and he played a pretty good track, certainly better than I've heard from him before.

I'm just lamenting the loss of Seb Fontaine from Radio1 but I wont delve deeper into funky house here :D

[disco diva]

1/ Jon Carter *humanism*
2/ Justin Robertson *Rukus Juice*(phil Kieran mix)

[jonnyspeed]

sush... you can ask what you want ;)

well if somebody asked me to play a party and 'keep the techno funky' I would play
- Hydraulix
- MaxMin
- Subvert
- Jackstar
- Bass Heavy Music (DJ Bam Bam)
- Kiddaz FM
- Ingnition Technition (Wilko)
- Wedefeqawi
- Pimp
- DJAXUP

And probably drop in a few Cannibal Cooking Club and Si Begg to add a bit of fun.

...and well worth a check:
- Victim
- Crime
- Stay Up Forever

[disco diva]

ooh cool, cheers, lots of help & ideas, im still finding all the types of techno, confusing, but can honestly say, not heard any ive disliked :love: :clap:

[schlongfingers]

[DJMAYA]

[dirty_bass]

Just listened to that filterhedz thing.
aaaaaaaaagh :eh:
Yeah, I see the bassline thing
but the dicey carnival vocals, eeeeeeek :shock:
MAn, I do some commercial stuff, but no way do I get that close to the Camembert
how dare they!!!
that does it, I`m only gonna make evil, nasty dark unlistenable, distorted, twisted, broken up, wrist slashing, satanic, techno from now on.
I`m gonna start a new genre, and call it Broadwater Farm Beats

Could you send me some when, your done hon? :lol:

[The Divide]

I saw filterheadz live at I love techno a few years ago. It was ****in insane !!!! They had this crazzzy drummer right at the front and playing live. It was the tightest drumming I have ever heard live and they were bringing him in and out where they felt, it was amazing performance. I just had to add that :lol:

[The Divide]

...and thats coming from someone who's not into the Filterheadz style, yea its not my cuppa tea. That Pa was something tho :clap:

DB I think you was listening to the rmx's m8. The original is better

As for Fergie, tuned in last friday for the first time. It was ok, he should play more differant styles tho imo, it was all funky club techno all the way, I never knew some styles of techno sound so cheesy. Mind you, they do that for a purpose, its friday night and people are on there way out so :neutral:. Perhaps he should play some more experimental shit in the show and then do a clubby mix? I dunno, seems to get people curious tho so I dont think its bad at all

[disco diva]

yep, it's the radio & he is not John peel ;)

[gunjack]

pornographic 13 is almost out and it has a gunjack track i would call a bit more on the funky edge of things. i like to make funky stuff sometimes, i think diversity is important.


i like that first ben sims hardgroove limited double pack. all samples and looped up but i dont give a f4ck you know? that shit is fun to mix and he was onto something cool when he was just freakin the loops like that. :rambo:

[Fake DJ]

Ive heard fergie a few times and he plays funkier side of techno

i think the funkier / tougher side of techno is mint, stuff by marco bailey and ben sims, quality

but i hate the term funky tho

[Stella Boy]

Genres ? Don't you love 'em :lol:

[jonnyspeed]

To be honest, when you stop learning it really stops being fun any more. good on you!

my fav places for checking new tunes are www.music-head.de which has got a huge european catalogue and back catalogue ordering facility. www.bangintunes.com is also good, especially for London labels

[davethedrummer]

i love techno except when its got funk in it.
can i have some unfunky techno please?

or at least some techno that was funky once but had the funk removed somehow.
:doh:
can we talk about what they're playing on radio one now,
and get into a massive argument???
:cool:

[disco diva]

no, I like it with the funk in it, so that is not an option ;)

[dan the acid man]
