be more specific.
If I can bob my head to it and it's got rhythm anything from schranz to eg is funky to me.

Not really a techno bof so I can't be too specific but to me its not really "hard" more of a progressive feel to it. Almost housey but not

[death on a stick]

what the hell is funky techno?

[dirty_bass]

I think I know what you mean, the smooth, funky, but solid kinda stuff.

try
BlueBlack
Sessions
In-Tec
Mankind
illgorhythm
Jericho
Edit recordings
southsoul
SLS
Real Sessions
Drumcode

For the funkier, more techy end of things

I tend to find that there a funky mix on most techno EPs unless its noisy industrial stuff.

If you want a latin groove then SP Groove is pretty good as is a few tracks on Prime Evil.

I personally think that pretty much all "acid techo" is funky. 4x4 always has a funky track out of the four on their EPs. have a look on truelove.co.uk for all the key labels.

There also alot of "ghetto tech" that is a kinda new skool chicago warehouse sound with lots of old skool booty running through it. Pro-Jex, Jackstar, Djax Up Beats. particularly good artists artists.

Another label that is an acid and ghetto cross over is Subvert.

If you litterly mean "funk" as in James Brown/Parmimentafunkadelic type stuff then that really is just random tracks.

You just gotta start listening to stuff as it comes out. Have a look at some good websites with samples: Energy UK and Banging Tunes are a good start. If you can pop along to Trackheads in london - there site is good but limited samples. Eukatech and mad records are really helpful and will give you a sample of records to listen to if you really want to discover what you like - then they'll point out other stuff that is similar. Weekly I spend atleast a couple of hours just stifting through what new and what I've missed from back catalogues.

peace and good look :)

thats death on a stick i know! i wanted to write something liek this but was to petrified you will march in and rubble rubble rubble "what s all this then?"

[Addict]

this thread is hilarious.

why?

[death on a stick]

Talking about "funky techno" as if it's some kind of discrete genre.



"Do you like funky techno?"

"No, I like only hard techno and dark techno."

"Some hard techno is funky"

"How can it be funky if it's hard?"

"I like dark funky techno"

"Don't be silly, there's no such thing"

[Addict]

Who was?
I only wanted to be pointed in the right direction, some people have done that coz they sort of know what I was getting at, I don't know what your on about.

[death on a stick]

My point is that you are asking about a genre that doesn't exist. Asking for funky techno is like asking for funky house or bassy dub or drum'n'bass with drums and bass in it. Techno is inherently "funky", whatever that may actually entail, and most of the examples above I would categorise as crowd-friendly mainstream stadium techno fodder. If it's funk and groove you want in your techno, go search out stuff like Red Planet, UR, Robert Hood, Kenny Larkin, Cristian Vogel, Derrick May, Akufen, Carl Craig, Stephen Brown, Dan Curtin, DBX, Model 500, Farben etc.

i think dirty bass has the idea from what you asked for.

also check kiddaz.fm - su.real - frequent - terminal m - some of the old primate primevil or primary if you can find them - d'wachman and hd substance on atlas records - bando - angel molina and some stuff by w j henze. this should give you a foot in the door of funky techno and dont get put off by purists who say there is no such thing. this - as with all things - is open to interpretation.

some people on the forum are actually quite friendly ;)
