since i left you
pic: happywind

so lately ive been listening to the avalanches since i left you because it was perfect for the sunny weather we've been getting. after being drained by heat, it was all i could muster. but that was yesterday. as for today, ive woken up to thunder and rain which means it's time to put away the soothing vocals and rake out the chaos. behold.

since writing about them in our tour of italy post, congorock has come back with a riot making remix of singer-songwriter bugo. you may recognise the name from when cécile and the bloody beetroots teamed up with success to transform la mano mia but the fools gold producer has gone one better with something more club friendly yet still scary <333

bugo - primitivo (congorock remix) [zshare]

and i wont let the fun stop there. le castle vania was kind enough to send us his new and best remix to date of the experimental US band walter meego. a preview of herve's forthcoming release is here too!

pic: tomababo

so july 29th is not remembered for anything or has no holiday. as far as i know anyway. well it is the national anthem day in romania hmmmm. but anyway from today, it is the day when crookers istola e.p. was finally released on mad decent. for once i dont really know what else to say. after all it is crookers! you know what you're going to expect. instead i think i'll word play on the title.

il buono (the good): il cattivo is heavy and sure to cause chaos on dancefloors all over the world
il cattivo (the bad): we've heard most of these tracks already :(
il brutto (the ugly): this fat ginger woman who came onto the jeremy kyle show

duke dumont dominion dubs
pic: memelsteak

this morning duke dumont's dominion dubs ep finally arrived and well i havnt been this excited since my ex promised me a special birthday present hah! i mean the duke always delivers without fail. in fact when i first put it into my player i had to listen to it uninterrupted. the tv went off, laptop on sleep, door shut and the speakers on maximum volume! wow! it is so so good. the prelude whisks you in with a false sense of security before the riotous second track. hoy is a killer. it will kill you first then kill you again in hell. feltham (the borstal beat) is a different affair. it realises youve been savaged beautifully by hoy so it becomes a playful number. something down to earth, closer to home, before the soothing postlude.

its epic. duke dumont is always trying something different with every production. trying to break boundaries and cause a stir. he certainly has with this. i hear some people just cant quite grasp the algerian house-esque hoy. but please adjust your ears! pedro winter, busy p, did when he first heard the organs of the great waters of nazareth. how glad are we that he kept back his reservations...very! and he has huge support from the likes of erol alkan, 2manydjs, switch, tiga and laurent garnier. i'll certainly be looking forward to his debut album and the ghost writing he is doing for more mainstream acts, which further highlights the versatility of his talents.

the dominion dubs ep will be out on wax august 23rd so until then i'll let you have a listen to 2 of the tracks. of course i'd love to share it all but i just cant. make sure you buy it when it's out and show the duke some support at his upcoming shows. both mp3s are 128kbs.

1. prelude
2. hoy

confessions of a love motel
pic: andriazmo

im intrigued as to what love motel is? immediate thoughts include bratislava, slovakia. in particular the kind of brothels you would expect to see in american movies where all the women there fulfill every bloke's sexual desires. at very little cost. hmm but it seems my dirrrty mind has got the better of me because alas, love motel are jp kazemi and stéphane mercier. producers from geneva, switzerland! XD

everybody remembers the grum remix of love motel's cosmic love right? well cryptonites here have come back to give you more electro goodness. not the dancefloor killer you would come to expect, but more a controlled affair between the flirtatious crunchy basslines against the soft clean synths. a perfect track for any sunday afternoon.

Where the Truth will Never be Known...
pic : Charles Levai

I don't want to introduce myself. First cause it's boring, and it won't for sure interest you. You'll enjoy way more me to show you some funny weirdy things from my homeland, Paris, and elsewhere.

I'm listening to
Blue Bird, by One Self, at the moment.
It creates sort of a
cosy ambiance that I love. You know, when the night is just begining, when the time where you think you're alone comes. It's so good.

If you can speak French, you will surely enjoy way more my posts. Cause it takes me much more time writing in your funny language.

ça y est. J'ai déjà la flemme. Si l'on poursuit comme ça tout devient plus facile. Et je détèste me compliquer la vie, sauf quand c'est vraiment indispensable.

Pause. For myself, for yourself, for ourselves, for One Self.




Le 'Cosy' n'est pas un mythe. Comme du bonheur dilué dans de grandes bouffées d'air frais.
Et l'on allume une cigarette. On pense à l'amour et à rien d'autre. ça t'obsède. Tu te sens ridicule, mais tu persévères dans ton inertie ridiculement comique.

'What is Love ? Baby don't hurt me.
Don't hurt me, no more.'


C'est ça le vrai message que nous balance notre ami Florent en pleine figure.

De la fraîcheur moite ?

'Don't Hurt me... Don't Hurt me...'


We love the youngs, les Jeunes. Most of the time, young individuals are juged as little electro kidz. They love Justice and MSTRKRFT, and wear funky funky tee shirts. Most of the time they sound stupid. Most of the time we don't like them.

Mais si l'on associe la jeunesse à une dimension supplémentaire ou du moins originale de projeter un contenu artistique, au lieu de l'associer à l'immaturité et à l'imperfectionnisme, on découvre des choses formidables.
Remplacez un kid par une graine. Bien plantée, le résultat bien arrosé, soit supporté, sera sans aucun doute fameux.

Dans cet optique, rien n'est mieux que l'exemple de Célèste. Son auto- dérision est à l'image de son pseudonyme rhétorique :
"Je suis Célèste".
For sure she is, ou du moins sa première collection pour la moins intéressante : Naivety.
"I Look Cool when i Smoke, but it Hurts my Lungs".
Making fun out of the intergenerational and internationalists problems of the youngs, her collection will soon be Mythic, coming from the other side of the world.



M
ink, one of the best Aussie magazine about urban fashion underscores her talent and even offers her a page in their last release, followed by an interview.
Imagine how this little girl from Melbourne, who's only 16 was excited during the shooting. No that wasn't a dream Célèste.

Naive. You think she is ? Just read between the lines.

nothing but a heartache
pic: hakanphotography

in a perfect world nobody would get their hearts broken! and i guess in such ideal circumstances, kris menace would make more songs. everything he has done has been epic. just look at his remixes for air, the presets, midnight juggernauts and his productions with the magnificent trio of fred falke, alan braxe and lifelike. for me a lot of these songs are perfect for getting ready to before going on a night out. you can do your hair, brush your teeth, perhaps put a shirt on whilst doing a cheeky dance in your bedroom. just make sure you have your door and curtains shut so nobody can see your embarassing dance moves hehe kris menace's latest release is out now on beatport and 12" while metronomy's heartbreaker is out now! buy, buy, buy! the mp3s are all 128kbs.

moda owns you
pic: moda

ive been meaning to post about the moda boys (andy george, jaymo, ingo staar, benni cassette) for a long time now. not just because their club night, which i believe to be the second biggest party in england only to prostitutes & policemen, has put lincoln on the map or that kissy sell out chose them to feature on radio 1. not even because it has seen the likes of herve, boy 8-bit, annie mac, hot chip, kissy, audioporno and shitdisco join in on the fun. and that would be more than good enough reasons for anyone! but it's because their music is being championed by fidget house associates such as hijack and the mighty crookers. in fact after its first week of release, jak-z's far out topped juno's best selling singles chart and you can get his debut ep here. check out two of his most recent remixes on funkism and please show your love for moda! and for andy george's hair hah!

so just a quick one from me today just in case i don't get time to do this tomorrow. since i put our muxtape up, there has been overwhelming demand to send send send this track. there is much love for santogold and boy 8-bit at the moment and it's no suprise to us that there's plenty of interest in this. especially since the suspense is killing me ep turned out to be one of the most important releases this summer. he's a nice chap too. a shame about the hair though hehe!

Where da funk at?
pic: pix gremlin

i'll introduce myself, i'm don. now to the music -

most of the music us funkers listen to today has been, in one way or another, influenced by music older than the boxers i'm currently wearing. here's a few tracks from long long ago that will undoubtedly get you moving on the dancefloor.

we'll start off with possibily the greatest funk track of all time? when funkism dies, this will be played at our funeral. released in 1978 (2 years before the first person who wore my boxers purcahsed these tight, off-white beauties) the song has been on countless funk compilations as well as greatest songs of all time countdowns.

parliament - flashlight[zShare]

next up a track by the fabolous chaka khan, sometimes refered to as "the queen of funk soul" and with good reason. her music has been sampled by acts such as kanye west (through the wire) and more close to home stardust (music sounds better with you) the track here however is lesser known but just as good, it has indeed also been sampled, by onephatdeeva on the track "bad habit"

chaka khan - i know you, i live you [zShare]

this next track is an infusion of funk and disco, you'd need to be either frozen completely or very dead to avoid movement when this song busts out of your stairy-airy-o. i dare you not to sing along as well.

commodores - brick house [zShare]

now onto a track that would still be rather unkown if it wasn't for 2 french guys sampling it to make possibilty the funkiest tune from their debut album. 3 guesses. the brothers johnson have been making music to wiggle to since 1975.

the brothers johnson - you make me wanna wiggle

this song isn't very old at all, i'm not exactly sure when it was made or released all i know is that it's been crafted by a fantastic producer and dj - the late j dilla. i also know that although a great track within its own right, with some magic this track could definately form an integral part of a dancefloor killer.

j dilla - signs

____________________

also pabs has recently finished funkism's very own muxtape! we wanted something that you could come back and listen to in a few months and still enjoy it as much as you did first listen! so we've excluded alot of great tracks that we feel will soon be overplayed. I think pabs described it perfectly when he said this

"it's a plethora of paradoxes. a mix of old and new. slow burners laced with killers. emotive and a sprinkle of funk."

jesse rose & herve take it to the club

sorry for my absence yesterday but oh my days! ive not slept in my own bed for the last three nights! in fact last night i had to share a bed with four of my friends and needless to say i woke up with one of those neck strains that always take forever to shake off. but i never think twice about the actions i undertake that lead me to suffer like this. so long as the ever name changing herve (using his alter ego action man this time) and one of my fave producers at the moment jesse rose keep on making songs like these, i'll continue to go out and wake up the next day all groggy and tired. sometimes we even get a one and a half hour train into london and catch the first one back in the morning just to hear such tracks! and it's always worth it.

tour of italy megapost
pic: alelatriller

i just love italy. it's always so beautiful. ive been lucky enough to have gone there twice before, a familly holiday in palermo and a skiing trip to turin, but in august im going again! this time to rome with my awesome friend rachel. she models out in LA! (jealous hehe XD!?) but yea we shall be having lots of fun. please do recommend us the best places to go! in the mean time though we're taking a mini tour of italy's music scene...

milan: home of crookers. these guys were quality when i saw them at prostitutes & policemen in manchester back in may. we really were bouncing all night. they have a new ep coming out soon so be prepared when its finally released on southern fried. this track im posting isnt on it but sounds different. what do think of it?

DL:
crookers - midnight square [zshare]


bassano del grappa: do i really need to introduce the bloody beetroots? i certainly hope not. these guys are crazy. no need for bob rifo to go see a doctor just yet though. it seems the crazier, the better it is. you may recognise this track from their nllr mix under the name of wacky children.

DL:
the bloody beetroots - yeyo [zshare]


lecce via milan and nyc: congorock collaborated with the bloody beetroots for a track you may already know called bluto fucks popeye showing that they can be just as mental. the track i have for you all here, runark, is going to kill dancefloors whenever it is played. so watch out!

aquila: all the blogs are showing love for nt89 lately. even turbo's thomas von party has expressed his platonic (that's what he says hehe) feelings for him. and it's easy to see why when you listen to the YAMVSO ep out on philtre. remix by oddity.

DL:
nt89 - electriparty (oddity remix) [zshare]


forli: these guys were recommended to us by the lovely cri! if you like death from above, possibly late of the pier, then you'll love these guys called brilliants. theyre currently on the lookout for a label to take them under their wing *hint hint*

DL:
brilliants - complain 128kbs [zshare]


bologna: we end our tour with a parting gift from the delightful ninfa who you may know from the work she has done with supabeatz. but looks are deceiving as she carves out a real bomb that is sure to be exploding club nights all over the country!

supabeats - all i want (ninfa remix) [zshare]


ps: i know this isnt very italian related, well more for all our australian readers out there who live in perth, but i think i should bring it to your attention that there's an excellent club night about to launch in your city! oh yes! it's called bitch! please! and this party will take place on the 26th of this month. expect bubble machines, piles of car tyres painted pink, acetated bar tops so you can doodle all over it in paint pens and i hear hickey's gonna rap. crazy! so make sure you show them some love. see the flyer on the right hand side xxx

grandmaster flash remixes midnight juggernauts!
pic: ugo

when this first arrived in my inbox i was intrigued. thinking midnight juggernauts had remixed the legendary grandmaster flash and the furious five. thinking what does old skool hip-hop and funk sound like alongside the juggers psychedelic sound. so imagine my suprise when i find out that the pioneer of hip-hop djing, cutting and mixing worked his groovy magic on into the galaxy. mr grandmaster flash had masses amounts of success with his group the furious five (the first ever rap group to be inducted to the rock & roll hall of fame). remember that song from 1982? yea sure you do. everybody does! so it comes as no shock that this is the first remix on the ep. it's going to be huge! it also features remixes by yuksek, metronomy, chateau marmont, shy child and the limited edition 12" is scheduled for release on institubes august 12th. i hear new dystopia tour tees (as worn by kele okereke of bloc party) will be made available again soon. so make sure if you want one that you keep yourself updated since they sold out so quickly last time!

just a quickie. some things in life are best left alone. pjanoo should have been left alone. alan braxe's addicted should have been left alone. hell adriana lima should have been left alone (marko jaric pffft!

south central's owl of minerva
pic: south central

today (despite the wind, the cloud and the rain trying to spoil another summer) is a very happy happy day. ive finally got my hands on the debut south central album 'owl of minerva' to be exact. and it's very impressive. ever since klaxons were adamant that there was an atlantis, that colour was not to be spared and that bands can rave too, there have been been many artists providing a crossover (a transition maybe) from indie to the current electro scene. i hate to pigeonhole genres but for descriptive purposes it's easier. one wave of this indie/electro onslaught came from the british band does it offend you, yeah! and well it didnt offend me, but more disappointed. after hearing the kissy remix of we are rockstars i was expecting good things but it seems the more you anticipate, the more likely you are to be let down.

so perhaps the fact that south central creeped beneath the radar at the beginning has helped them because the album is brilliant. the opening track golden dawn creates a flurry of madness which hypnotises you into turning up the volume and with the rucking chorus of machines you stop what you're doing to appreciate the damage this may do to your ears. then we get to castle of heroes. 7:44min epic! despite the timelength there is always the anguish for more. and the brighton duo show their talent on the last track higher state of consciousness by taking the modern classic and doing just enough, not over doing it, to create a fitting crescendo.

it really is that good. so much so ive had it on repeat since the first listen. speakers on full volume too. it's probably lucky i live in a detached house at the moment otherwise there may have been a few complaints to the noise police! i may have upset a few dogs as they get walked past my window but its the owners fault for being out in the rain XD

however there are some bad news. the album is only getting released in japan! fear not though 'owl of minerva' should grace us sometime in the future i.e. like yeti, the wombats and co. until then though make sure you show south central some support. the nothing can go wrong 12" is out now on art goes pop and try and catch one of their shows as they will be travelling to belgium, japan, france, germany as well as the uk.

boys noize records
pic: serenad

first things first. alex shave off that monobrow! maintenant! although as he is the guy behind boys noize records and its releases, i can seemingly forgive him. in fact because of this i could forgive him for pretty much anything and everything. even if he strapped me down, bound my eyes back with tape and forced me to watch hour after hour of doctor who i could still forgive him. and that could possibly be my worst nightmare! perhaps. but havn't we got a treat in store for us in the near future? oh yes.

first off we're all still waiting to get our hands on that ever so teasing terror edit of focker by late of the pier. if you've got a compass it's possible to track down the recent boys noize sonar set that the edit was played in. its simple but goes down well with the crowd. next up are remixes that alex ridha has done for a-trak (say whoo) and housemeister (in order to dance) which im eagerly anticipating. especially since the housemeister track was a bomb on the bugged out sucked my deck compilation. look out for shadow dancer's soap too which erol alkan has been playing a lot recently and has featured in his top ten chart. last but not least we have the pleasure of getting the shine shine ep and remixes featuring......a SOULWAX remix!! oh my days! heaven.

but for you i have a teaser of the new darmstadt ep released by boys noize records. theyre not the usual type of artist you would expect on such a label. theyre not heavy, crushing, dirty or even crunching. they like to describes themselves as rock drawing influences from the great joy division. darmstadt creates at the same time tended and melodic, energetic and sensitive universes, with a real obsession of the notes - notes which punctuate perfectly this reality. a touch of colour is brought by the rhythm of voices: a sensual and life-loving partition, the modernity of a music suggesting us in a whisper how they digested and echoed the 80s divisionesque generation. it should be available soon on arcade mode so keep an eye out for it!

darmstadt - u better be inside ep

1. six six five

les machines ne soignent pas
pic: machines dont care

how do you solve a problem like having too much to post? not so much as a graham norton and andrew lloyd webber sandwich but rather the simple option of an eenie meenie minee mo. this time fidget super group machines don't care came out on top; which is fitting as they are all top chaps who work their little cotton socks off. when the news first sprung out at the start of the year i was more than just excited, i was scared! scared that its monster collaborations would be resistant to taming. that my lungs would be crushed by bass and my ears rendered useless after listening. though worringly i looked forward to such a sacrifice. with members including hervé, sinden, fake blood, detboi, trevor loveys, drop the lime, toddla t and affie yusuf its no wonder this project has attracted everyone's attention. it's as if they were all made for each other. a fidget brangelina. an enigmatic fake blood complimented well by the sounds of in demand duo the count & sinden on drop it to the floor which is just another prime example.

for me though its the work of trevor loveys that really gets me excited. quite frankly ive loved everything and anything this chap has worked on. perhaps he has a certain je ne sais quoi that propel his productions to another level. his latest remix of city reverb is perfect proof of such talent. make sure you use your monies to get it when it's available in august on 12" and download. it's huge. speaking of availability, im single hehe sorry sorry cheap joke. wont happen again i promise! but yea hervé says the machines dont care album is out now and can be found on hmv or beatport.

keep an eye out for hervé's remix of under the sun by kidda (the original appears on the new bacardi advert) and the new single for the count & sinden which will feature baltimore's lovely rye rye. until then you can listen to trouble on the floor. only 128kbs though sorry, i dont want the guys to hate me XD oh and also a preview of the city of lights remix. enjoy!

funkism [fun-kiz-uhm]
noun pathology
  • an abnormally excessive and uncontrollable desire to unearth the finest forms of music. it is often fueled by the state of euphoria experienced when hearing a track for the very first time.
antonyms see my chemical romance - usually causes severe anaphalaxis.

it seems as if ive had quite a productive day for a monday. the bits and bobs on my to do list are sorted, the birthday present ive been hunting down for my flatmate has finally been bought, i phoned my friend who's currently travelling (an impressive 66 minute talkathon) and now im making the first post on funkism. pretty special i must say. so where do i start? perhaps an introduction? of myself? well i like fitty mcvities. dislike biscuits at the bottom of a tin. i most probably love my wingwomen too much (lots of kisses amy and lianne hehe!). I found them on a buy one get one free offer in waitrose. true. funkism will soon be the best blog ever in existance. very true. scarlett johansson has a sexy mole on her left boob; she showed me herself. unquestionable XD

joining me is don. he's a club photographer and you may often see him about around belfast with his ever so nice camera. you should all check out his flickr. it's good stuff. he does have his priorities sorted out too and spends all his money getting pramfaced. yay!

and then last but not least there's our lovely briannnnnnnnanananana! hailing from brisbane, australia. i hear she dreams of a big bag raiders gang bang. who can blame her! but apparently by the time that they reach you the bag raiders would have stolen your wallet and changed all your money to euros and gone shoppnig in paris. watch out girl!

much love
