New Genre: Speed Funky ???

[James]

Ok, I'm not being funny (ok, you may think I am) BUT have any of you lot tried to mix speeded up funky (45, -6) along with hardhouse ? I SWEAR some of the funky tunes sounds sooooooooo much like hardhouse and are WICKED (i will try and make a list of my faivs). Luckily my house mate is into buying shed load of funky vinyl and i accidentally put some of his tracks on 45 and they were SPOT ON. Also, because all that sound is even more compressed it sounds crystal.

 

I then met a bloke last night - friend of sarahs who just happended to be into the same thing - mixing speeded up funky house with hardhouse - he even had a minidisc on him with some tunes on he showed me - was fooking wicked - some really cool hardhouse 'knocking' baselines you can create out of speed-funky - i swear - i aint mucking you around.

 

I am DEFFO creating a CD asap of what i'm talking about (when i've got to a slightly better mixing level) and I will send out.

 

"Speed Funky"

Can't say i've heard this before but i mix old D&B with hard house and that sounds fooking wicked.

If it was meant to be that fast, it'd be 140bpm at pitch 0

1stly - its not a new genre as 4 it to be a new genre it would have to be a new style, sound and so forth. this is just an old genre played faster.

 

2ndly - its whats played @ convergance as the opening sets

is this not like speed garage, ie. US garage tunes played at a higher speed to make them sound different

i have to admit - as much as i'm against funky house being played this way, there is 1 funky house tune i've been playing 4 a while like this - being doing it even b4 i relised it was a style
