Darned cockwombles.

yeah it gets played quite a bit by funky-not-funky-but-funky dudes, i guess because it came out in that period last year when there were quite a few vinyl releases floating around. i certainly play it. its the b2 on the gabryelle remix 12.. the press of it's kind of fucked, but it sounds great
thanks to everyone coming with the recommendations too

nothing wrong with constructive snide comments.
this is the internet after all.
and it gets boring tbh if everyones just agreeing or towing the conspiratorial fact/hyperdub-sponsored prog-funkstep party line
deadboys cool but its not funky. i like it when oneman plays it, but when i hear it on its own i dont crave to own it.
i think there should actually be a new, separate rolling thread for this stuff. tracks that are future garage (i hate that term btw, its paying itself a huge compliment, for something thats basically just a newish slant on old garage styles), funky influenced dubstep, etc etc. this stuff really isnt THAT unclassifable, contrary to the hype. i know exactly how to place these tracks. its just convenient for certain people to say it cant be categorised.

I agree with gumdrops and luka. When I click on the funky thread I want to read about peoples funky recommendations and I don't think something like that Deadboy mix really applies, however good it is. Tim, Luka and Andy have been killing it with their recent posts on here and I'd like to see more of that sort of thing.
yeah deadboys not funkynothing wrong with constructive snide comments.

sorry for any snide comments I just wanted to help tim and his pal save funky from the conspiracy that's afoot.
Nah its not that even tho that is a tune
The one I am thinking of I am sure is an untold production/remix
It goes pitched down at the end of the 4 bar and pitched up at then end of the bar if you know what i mean
I need to know this!!!
Dont make me have to record myself singing it
You legend!!!!
I knew i knew it but couldnt for the life of me remember what it was, been thinking about it non stop since saturday.
Cheers mate
Just realised it was Major Lazer vs Afrojack - How I Like It, which is some remix/version anyone know where I can buy this

Pretty sure that's actually the original version of which "Pon De Floor" is a remix/new version.
Kinda LOLing at the fact that I was saying "You know all this Afrojack/Sidney Samson kinda stuff is surprisingly similar to UK funky at times" at the same point in the thread that you were thinking an Afrojack production was an Untold production!
And actually the stuff that Afrojack etc. resembles even more than UK funky is Julio Bashmore - which makes sense given Claude Von Stroke has been such a defining figure in each of the three strands (mersh post-electrohouse, uk funky, housey post-dubstep) - i.e.
Von Stroke ---> "Put Your Hands Up For Detroit ---> "Riverside" ---> "How I Like It"
Von Stroke ---> "Gabryelle (Refix)"
Von Stroke ---> Julio Bashmore
What I find interesting about the above is that you've basically got these two strands (post-dubstep house, commercial post-electrohouse) now running pretty much parallel with one another, and yet excepting a couple of tunes/producers who seem to do well in both scenes ("Pon De Floor" / Vato Gonzalez and "Klambu" via the mediating approval of UK Funky producers) they're entirely oblivious to one another!
The fact that I was full to the brim of JD and Coke and it was actually Untold playing the tune may have attributed to me thinkig it was by him, however the percussion sounds very much like an Untold production
Personally I am loving the mix of sounds about at the minute the fact that a UK Funky tune can be dropped seamlessly into a set with European Dirty House track like Badman Riddim which can then be mixed into US house like Vonstroke is exciting for all DJS
Slightly off topic but where does all this polished, big room house a la Swedish House Mafia, Laidback Luke etc. fall??
I don't expect it to be popular among dissensus users tbh and admittedly it is for lack of a better word, cheesy , but the production values are really high and I find myself listening to alot of it nowadays. Wondered where people on here stood on that sort of stuff

Repetitive
I imagine most people's opinion on it would lie somewhere between 'tasteful' (in the most pejorative sense of the word) and 'tepid'. So if you go by a dictionary that would probably be somewhere around 'tchotchke' which apparently means "an inexpensive showy trinket" in Yiddish. Quite a burn!
TRU_G I was LOLing because it makes sense to me that an Afrojack production and an Untold production might be mistaken for one another.
The truth is that a lot of the housey post-dubstep stuff is picking up on influences from stuff like big room Swedish Mafia, Fedde De Grand, Sidney Samson, Afrojack etc (inadvertently or otherwise) much more than it is UK Funky.
In one sense this is why i'm somewhat skeptical of the robust defence of pick'n'mix eclecticism - it seems rather arbitrarily applied to me. If this is really what folks are into then why isn't everyone raving about Samson, or, like, actual Vato Gonzalez DJ sets (which there are certainly enough of floating around!!)?

Anyway guys you should jump on Hard House Banton's "Peek'n'Duck", massive tune available on this DJ Antman mix "House or Nowhere":

Based on my limited knowledge this is his most headwreckingly percussive, monolithic effort since "Reign".
Mix is pretty good overall.
