Hot Knives

Hot Knives:
  • Four friends who have come together as the credit will not stop crunching!
  • Recorded first demos last week!
  • Band name decided on Tuesday!
  • Yet to play a gig!
  • And already turning heads!
Hot Knives - Solstice (Demo) [alt]
Hot Knives - Cold Morning (Demo) [alt]

Despite the short existence the band have already landed themselves a slot of BBC Manchester tomorrow night, not bad for only being around for 48 hours.

If you would like to listen then please tune in at 11pm on Sunday. In fact, tune in at 10.55pm just to be sure. We don't want to miss out, and we don't want you to either. As our mothers have said, it is always better to be safe than sorry.

10.55pm
10.55pm
10.55pm
10.55pm


They have a flurry of venue promoters showing their interest, with gig offers before the Hot Knives get too expensive for their venue ;) . Neo Tokyo and John McClure (Reverend And The Makers lead singer) are showing his own early interest in the band.

Always believe the hype!

ps. they are interested in anyone looking to take on a wee remix for them. Get in contact and they shall send you through some clearer sounding bits and pieces.

Ryan Riback

Alarm went off at 8 am, in for my Understand Popular Culture seminar (which I don't really understand...) by 8.55 am! The topic we focused on was music and by looking at the people in my class I could easily tell what music they were into from the way the dressed. The chap to my left loved is rap and the girl to my right loved her hardcore house but she does not like Cascada, which I would have thought was this hardcore house genre? No? As a group wer went through our own top 5 artists of the moment. We heard a lot of MGMT 's and Vampire Weekend's but when I mentioned my love for Ryan Riback I got blanked and didn't get asked why. Therefore, I am going to tell you lot!

I am in love with wobbles, bassline and synths that have been chopped right through a track! Ryan Riback is filling all this hunger! From edits that have got him noticed and now working on his own original pieces making it all very exciting!

Ryan Riback grew up in Johannesburg, he put his success down to the move he made to Australia and currently resides in Melbourne. With his biggest influences coming from Switch ‘for his Twisted mind’ and Sebastien Leger for his ‘melodic blips and bleeps’ you can expect these two to merge and create dirty beats running alone side a house genre feel.

When arriving in Australia he quickly got involved in the music scene range from local artists or record labels. Ryan Riback is an idol for those people who believe hard work pays off and the 'chasing of the dream'. Mr Riback is currently packing his socks, tighty-whities as he prepares himself for a North America tour.

jack beats interview

FUNKISM: Hello Jack Beats (everybody say hello to Jack Beats)- so to start off, in the best analogy as you can, could you describe your sound to our readers? Bonus points for using the words "flamingo" :)

JACK BEATS: Jack Beats sound is red hot like flamingo's...

FUNKISM: Flamingos are pink! Anyway what's the story behind Jack Beats? How did you both come to meet?

JACK BEATS: The story is really simple- we met through music we used to be involved with. We both always liked making music, and from that, one way or another we discovered it was more fun when we did it together...

FUNKISM: I was being nosy and had a cheeky look at your list of influences and I must say I'm mega impressed! But what has been the main driving force behind your sound?

JACK BEATS: Our main driving force behind our sound is the desire to make hybrid music that combines all our influences, and sounds (hopefully) unique. We both spent many years in clubs, and kinda both got bored with what we heard and wanted something new. We have been and still are into a wide variety of music, and so I guess we try to compress these influences into one thing to make our sound.

FUNKISM: Cool! So you've violated White Williams, jacked AC Slater and wobbled Steed Lord to Iceland and back- what works do we have the fortune to look forward to in the future?

JACK BEATS: The main shit for now is finishing our first proper EP for Cheap Thrills.. There are also more remixes coming soon which we've recently finished for Kidda, Kissy Sell Out, Herve and Lady Sovereign... plus we've been working with Herve on some material for the 'Machines Don't Care 2' album.

FUNKISM: Your remix for AC Slater was one of the most sought after tracks last year gaining a vast amount of popularity- how do you cope with all that love? Store it in jars? You guys seem very humble about it all and it's really refreshing to see.

JACK BEATS: It's really nice that you think we come across as humble... We'd hope we are. I think we both know we've been lucky in having long careers in music, and also being able to move between genre's and gain acceptance from new peers, and new audiences. Also - it really does feel amazing to see the project go in the space of one year from a bit of fun in the studio, to something people really are behind and feeling. The speed everything has happened for us still kinda baffles us both... it's blog's like funkism that have built the hype that's fueled the Jack Beats fire, and we're both really grateful for the support. In this day and age with the power of the Internet being stronger than ever, people ultimately make there own minds up whether what you're doing is genuinely decent or just a pile of over hyped shite. Therefore the fact the people have helped us out by writing about us etc and getting behind us is amazing.... they've been our PR team... you should be humbled by a situation like that... if not, you're simply a bit of a c*nt!

FUNKISM: It's true, the very fact you're taking time out to do this interview just reinforces this. What's it like to be one of the big names for 2009?

JACK BEATS: Haha.. weird and dope all at once.

FUNKISM: Last Friday you played in my hometown for one of my favourite parties, Moda. I mean with Foamo and Futurecop live as well- wow indeed! What can us lucky so and so's expect to hear in one of your sets?

JACK BEATS: Bass heavy party music... lots of dubplates and stuff you know

FUNKISM: Our readers from the U.S. are going to be particularly excited by this- I hear you're going to be touring there in March. I bet you're both incredibly hyped about this? What can we expect to find in your suitcases?

JACK BEATS: Yeah looking forward to it alot... we're taking an empty suitcase to bring back lots of Texan BBQ sauce home with us!

FUNKISM: I'm a pretty random person so I like asking random questions- what children's cartoons were your favourites when you were young and why? (Please say Brave Little Toaster) ;)

JACK BEATS: Ulysses 31, Dungeons & Dragons, Battle of the Planets, Mysterious Cities of Gold, Godzilla, He-Man, Mask....

FUNKISM: Mask, good shout! What do you think of Twitter? Do you like to tweet every now and then?

JACK BEATS: We set one up but we've only tweeted once... we've not really figured out how to use it... I guess that says it all haha...

FUNKISM: So finally, if you were writing for FUNKISM for one day, who would you be recommending to our readers?

JACK BEATS: Mysterious Al, Boy 8-Bit, Popof, A1 Bassline, The Cheap Thrills crew...

FUNKISM: Awesome. Thanks again for taking the time out to do the interview with us Jack Beats- it's been a pleasure. And remember to save us a cheeky bottle of Texan BBQ sauce when you come back! :)

Such nice guys ey! And I can't wait to hear the sophomore Machines Don't Care album. Show JB some love on their myspace and to keep in touch with their dates and releases :)

in for the kill
one of my favourite acts of last year was a brazilian duo called the twelves and they're continuing their fine form into 2009. i'm a sucker for their groovy style, which is marked by blithe unconcern, and to me they're certainly ones to keep an eye on- lets all hope for an album in the near future ey? incidently i'm also a sucker for biiiiig vocals and here la roux turns provider. i guess, complimenting each other to create a journey through time and space. imagine laser beams flickering in your face whilst a three boobed girl from total recall serves you a drink. maybe not.

whatchadoin?
one of my favourite albums to be released this year already was by the immense collaborative effort of "the spirit of apollo" by n.a.s.a. with my standout track being "whatchadoin?". i mean it features funkism favourites m.i.a. and spank rock that it just had to be huuuuge. l.a. partygoers villains give the track some violent treatment. not in the give me your money or i'll shank you way but more like oh my days the club is going to explode. brutal!

idiot house presents dj spin laden
what does funkism love more than the most colourful socks in the world? sitting in the park with friends having a barbecue? even more than being kissed on the neck or chest? i guess i'd have to say it's somewhere between seeing adriana lima scantily clad or turning life's challenges into a barrel of fun. dj spin laden comes somewhere in the middle. i guess he may not pull off the victoria secret look with stockings and angel wings but he certainly knows how to provide party music. signed to the australian idiot house label, dj spin laden sent us in this track that epitomises the word fun. listen to it and you'll be raving somewhere naked im sure. his next e.p. is out soon and will feature remixes from the mighty acid jacks, wongo and douster. watch this space!

i spy... something beginning with D


discodeine is the synergy of pilooski and benjamin morando and i can't get enough of them. their remix of whomadewho's the plot is a masterpiece, definitely one to check out :)
if not now, when?
so on sunday i was dressed as a superhero. i'm not quite sure who i was supposed to be, just that i looked funny. incidently marky went as cat woman??? anyway i had bright blue womens tights on, a makeshift cape out of my flatmate's blanket and lightning bolts painted all over my body. although i must say i did like them tights too much- it was like being naked without being naked. strange. again, no idea who i was supposed to be but apparently my special power was x-ray vision, which i had no problem agreeing with. i have to admit i may have been a little merry- so much so i can't really remember any of the music played. hmmmmmm. but what i do remember was just before going out, checking my emails and seeing a promo sent in by plimsouls. his work showcasing a sultry tech-house affair along with a reminder of how impressive his mystery jets remix was. big ups!

Believe The Hype, Always.


Like the normal persona of girl bands we expect songs about broken hearts, new found loves and the clothes they bought that week. Jo Kira is this girl in the funkism world, throwing her Bras and Stilettos onto the same CD and tying them down with a string of her driven baselines.

Jo Kira, long time funker and funkism friend allowed us a few months ago to get the exclusives on her new two new tracks. I would have said that week her career hit a high with new productions and being named Kissy Sell Outs Young Blood for the week. Not only did he drop her track BRA's on world famous Radio 1 but went out the next night and dropped the track in the middle of his DJ set.

From this the created juices are still flowing and now she is getting ready for two released in the next two months. The first release shall be ‘Jo Kira - Stilettos EP’, which is out next week, 23rd February on digital download via the record label Venga Digital and shall be distributed to 50 stores including Amazon, play.com, itunes and the usuals such as Beatport and Juno etc

Tracklistings:
A1 - Stilettos (Original)
A2 - Stilettos (Wongo Remix)
B1 - Bras(Original)
B2 - Bras (Edu K Remix)

Although not out until next week, we have be kindly been given a teaser. Although a girl with killer wobbles and drop ins, she is a lovely person at heart. Give you guys a funkism a sneak listen.

The following month we see Jo Kira’s second release with the track De Nada (rough translation, no problem). But we will concern ourselves more on that release after the ‘Stilettos EP’ stuns the rest of the blogshere.

With Jo Kira, always believe the hype. BUY HERE

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Zero

With no class until 4:00 pm this evening, I find myself in front of my laptop with some Robinson’s cordial and an extra large Milkybar to help me dig up more news on the much-anticipated new album by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Due to be released on April 14th, It's Blitz will be 10 tracks long each having a disco feel as guitarist Nick Zinner brought along a vintage keyboard he bought on eBay to help the band during their writing sessions (little did he know at the time this would be the included throughout the album).

Tracklistings:
01 "Zero" (4:25 / Eric Biondo - trumpet, Stuart Bogie - saxophone)
02 "Heads Will Roll" (3:41)
03 "Soft Shock" (3:53)
04 "Skeletons" (5:02)
05 "Dull Life" (4:08)
06 "Shame and Fortune" (3:31)
07 "Runaway" (5:13 / Jane Scarpantoni - cello, Greg Kurstin - piano)
08 "Dragon Queen" (4:02 / Tunde Adebimpe - vocals, Stuart Bogie - saxophone, Kyp Malone - tambourine)
09 "Hysteric" (3:50 / Eric Biondo - trumpet, Stuart Bogie - saxophone)
10 "Little Shadow" (3:57 / Imaad Wasif - guitar)

Although this band has been around for many moons it is the first time they have had the chance to use synthesizers through their entire productions, which we can all only think to add to the excitement of what is a Yeah Yeah Yeahs party is. Having put down the guitars and picked up the keys you can ensure the running about of Karen O will in some form still occur.

The band have let out their first single off the album onto the Internet, allowing it to be judged and ridiculed by long time fans and new listens. They were not lying when they told us this album was inspired by the Joy Division swaying synth work and Giorgio Moroder rhythmical drums influences!




Already getting mixed emotions with the new synth 80s pop (which seems to be what people like at the moment), is this what a full Yeah Yeah Yeahs album is going to sound like? Or is it the band playing games again and always keeping use guessing what sounds they are going to create next.


marky!

jungle steppers


if you were one of the lucky so and so's to have the privilege of being in my bedroom, you'd probably notice the garbage that comes from my flatmate's bedroom. if i don't have my speakers on then i might have the misfortune of hearing a glimpse of basshunter or tiesto arrrgh (sorrry girl but it's true) so sometimes i have to teach her a lesson and show her what songs you truly need for a party. perhaps in such situations i'd crank up the volume and drown her noises with some extra special bass intensive meltdowns. quite franky usually it's the ever reliable hervé that is the best call. again the other day the lovely anna from your-army (thank you again) sent me this new production that josh did with the count for his inaugural mix compilation- ghetto bass. it's a bad boiiiii- truly. it features all of his other monikers as well as some tracks from the cheap thrills family which brought you jack beats (watch this space), fake blood and that awesome zomby album! roll on the rest of 2009- especially with another machines don't care album. yikes!

it's wednesday 16:43 and i've just got back from a whole day at uni. i'm putting my feet up on the coffee table about to chug down some chocolate milkshake and catch up on todays news. well i can't be bothered to read right now so instead i think yea i'll listen to some music. i flick through my itunes and ponder what would be perfect for the mood i'm in? something simple yet enticing? something free yet involves are journey to get to? something magical? hatchmatik's disco bootleg of animal collective is just that. i can drift off into another world where trees are made out of marshmellow and i'm being served my favourite tipple by this pretty girl with flowers in her hair. all before i get abruptly interrupted by my flatmate who tells me about her friends nipples. nice.

About time I say! And the prices aren't to shabby.

i love cyanide and happiness. "i have the cape, i make the whoosh noises" is what heavyfeet say is a typical day in their studio. i can imagine there to be plenty of whoosh noises. some wamp wamps and plenty of wobbles. picture your annoying neighbour who's outside digging up weeds displaying a general face of disgust. then think of playing this so loud she can hear it out of your bedroom window.. whoosh whoosh wamp wamp wobble and she's dropped her trowel to give you evils from inside her conservatory. that'll teach her to be rude. the remix is bad!

any day is the future
whilst playing hide and seek with my flatmates in our house, i kind of realised i'm not so good at this game. for one, do not hide in the utility room under dirty clothes or linen. it's disgusting. two, food cupboards are far too small to fit into. and three, i kept getting bored of hiding and wanted to listen to this remix by tanlines of the tough alliance instead. nevertheless to say, i hardly ever won.

pull up (crank it up)
okay so don't you think diplo is quite possibly one of the best people to follow on twitter (apart from tiga)? if his grammy updates weren't enough- he shares the same love for random stuff as me i.e. 6.57AM yesterday from twitterberry "Ok.. -Im bak. Santi died of peanut overdose. We r goin to find questlove and hit him like an r4 train. Then do the stank leg with thom york". perhaps yea his spelling isn't too good but sure, we can forgive him for that- especially since his remix for groove armada reminds us all how much we respect this guy. once again the bacardi b-live crew have come up trumps and teamed with mad decent for another crazy remix. how we love them for that :)

ohh anna, it's not what it looks like
in flagranti literally means to be caught in the act of.. in most cases being caught have sex with another person by your other half. isn't that enough to love in flagranti already? they're much more than sexual innuendos though- see "i chatted up the nympho sectary (part 1)" and "she bend each leg alternately"- but rather they're this new york duo called sasha crnobrnja and alex gloor who share the love of the italian cosmic scene from nearly three decades ago. the end result? this kind of experimental blend of electronic disco music. i guess in continuation of "the ones to watch for 2009"- the next in flagranti album "brash and vulgar", which is set to drop on march 20th on codek, is probably one of this years LPs that im most looking forward too. luckily junodownload let you preview their album! isn't it special! anyway i just can't give you any tracks off that because well you just have to buy it- but what i can do is hand out a peace offering until its final release :)

okay so i had to post about this baby. the lovely chaps over at boys noize records gave away this nifty little number away for free on their blog and it's awesome. doesn't it remind you a lot of d.i.m's and alex ridha's collaboration together- puzique? it's well, more kind to our ears and scattered with little embers of charm. there's definitely signs of don't go, cissor and suite9- well maybe just me but what matters more are these damn fine hot chip remixes that keep getting turned out. i mean wow indeed. we've had soulwax, erol alkan, jesse rose and fake blood all join in the fun and now it's d.i.m's time. one of my favourites!

here are some facts about weazals. they can vary in length from six up to fourteen inches and are often found with a light brown upper coat, black fur on the tip of their tail with a white belly. intriguingly the statistical fairies say the average weazal weighs in at about 200 grams and can be seen roaming the pastures of various countries all over the world. in fact- did you know the collective nouns for a group of weazals include boogle, gang, pack and confusion? im no animal expert but a confusion of weazals sounds like a euphemism for an embarrassing illness. tamed critters can be kept as house pets in front of the fire watching episodes of the hills. they like scarves, stella and really naff toys that can be bought from poundland but have a distinct hate for itchy blankets. will ferrell once used to be a weazal but some magic beans he ate transformed him into a human. true story. but do you know what weazals realllllllly love? like really really reallly love? they love bob marley!
