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.

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 ;)

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

[disco diva]

eh? how where?? :?:

[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 ;)

[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.

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.

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 ;)

[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.

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
