CTW Members TomD Posted July 15, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted July 15, 2003 don't get me wrong, there's some good tunes which could be considered "funky", but hearing big black blokes singing about FEEELING ALIIIIIIIIVE just makes me want to fill my stomach with rusty razors.

CTW Members LiquidEyes Posted July 16, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted July 16, 2003 I'm not so hung up on this pigeon-holing, e.g. deciding whether something technically is or isn't "funky house". I tend to like deep, dubby, funky music, be it techno, house, tribal, progressive or whatever... I think it is a dodgy preconception that "funky" music must therefore be cheesy and happy. To me, the funk is about the rhythm - rolling percussion and syncopated basslines. Maybe a cheeky/quirky element too. But funky house music can be well dark too! Not sure what you mean by "watered down" Laurence...? I certainly like my funky house to be stripped back and techy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed! It's the same as hearing some blond tart sing nonsense over cheesy Euro-trance, or some idiot rapping about "niggers" and "bitches", or those dodgy sped-up vocal samples in hard house tunes.
