the duo chesus and rodski are not to be mixed with the great tomboy and fredski nor are they a polish comedy act... in fact they are a couple of guys from wales who make music along the lines of juke, garage and house. i should have posted this back in december last year but their track "whyyyyyyyyyy?" is so damn good i can't let it go amiss. they've played alongside annie mac, sinden, toddla t (props to radio 1 for signing this geezer up) and fake blood so they're no stranger to the current UK scene. anyway shout out to ryan from electric zoo for giving everyone a heads up first.

Love him or hate him, Mr. Aoki stole the show with his rockstar performance/ EXTREME stage diving abilities at Coachella this year during The Bloody Beetroots track Warp!

how glad am i that all of my report writing and coursework is over for this academic year? hell yea! i say this every time but i vow not to leave it all at the last minute again. special mentions for the caramel macchiatos and vanilla lattes that have been keeping me going these last few days. so now after all that productivity i feel quite lazy. a certain mr backchat knows how much i love my football so i've just come back from watching the game. wish i didn't to be honest, one of the worst games i've seen. really not liking that the sun's gone either and the typical UK weather just drenched me on the way home. so, i'm now laying half naked next to the radiator to steal it's warmth. it may be nearly midnight but we're not tired here so we're listening to music to suit our needs. step in, rayflash, a producer from japan who's provided us with the perfect remix of stereoheroes. i put my hands up and admit that lately i've not been too fond over these so called "bangers" but this is something worth jumping about in the living room to. my friend wants to show me her crazy dancing and well she's chosen the right song for the occasion. her dance is pretty rubbish and it makes me want to laugh, but really, i just want to join in. show the guy some hearts over on his myspace yea.

I went through the Funkism mail today; admittedly, I must say I do not do this enough at all! I found myself checking out the two new Schuster&Schneider tracks. Once of which I fell in love with.

Before evening getting it however, I am going to paint the scene. Imagine going to a rammed party at a friend’s and you look up to see the DJ bouncing, one foot to the other. We all got the image, yeah? Now turn your eyes to everyone around you and you see them all doing the same. You are getting that image alright? Sweet, because that is what makes it a good night and because you have got this image in your head you now know what Schuster&Schneider are all about!

so it hasn't been all hard work for me over the weekend. i mean last night was pretty awesome for all the wrong reasons and on friday A1 bassline nailed it at no uniform. luckily i managed to have a cheeky natter with christian before he played his set- absolute nice guy by the way! we talked about a few things i can't repeat but i'll just say it involved a certain trevor loveys. haha makes me chuckle thinking about it. anyway one of my favourite releases this year has been the mega collaboration on the n.a.s.a. album and designer drugs have worked their dynamite touch on it. thanks to jeremy hughes of nile-on for sending this in. it's a million miles away from the quiet village track but this is for all you heavy heads out there who want something huuuge on their monday.

quiet village are relatively unknown in these parts of the blogosphere but their ambient style has got me on hold whilst i (slowly) recover from the weekend. i mean the cheeky starbucks and greggs, whilst a magic combination, only has short term effects yet this track enables me to rest peacefully. if your mind cogs can think back to a few months ago, you might be able to remember that i posted a toddla t remix of the exact same track. well don't expect any dancehall riddims here because this lays on the same path as air france and todd terje. bliss.

okay this is me playing catchup so please forgive if things are a little brief. i normally don't post about older tracks because FUNKISM is all about finding what's new but i may be a tad biased towards our disco house friend fabio brocato who sent in his latest remix. i urge you to check out his previous works if you havn't already because i have to say they're brilliant. here broke one, keeps true to the original but you know, he's sprinkled his magic touch to squeeze out even more listens of sebastiAn.

Bloc Party front man Kele Okereke once went to a Franz Ferdinand gig. This gig would change him and their bands life as Kele gave Alex Kapranos ( Franz Ferdinand lead singer) a Bloc Party demo CD. Because of this, we got Silent Alarm, one of the best albums I own and have heard in my (short) lifetime.

Two years ago seen a live version of ‘Cells Shaped like Stars’ being leaked to the internet, sadly it was only a live version. Today we get a demo version finally after all this time. Although a two year old song, it really does take use back to what I believe to be when the band where at their best, the days of Helicopter, Two More Years and Banquet! Enjoy!

i wouldn't be like this if it wasn't for my old neighbour's vinyl collection. intrigued by anything aged 7 i got my cousin to play me neal howard's "indulge" and since then i've been addicted to house music. i was only enticed by the year 1989 written on the sleeve but oh my am i glad with my choice. it's fascinating to see the change in the music over the past two decades- even moreso now and than ever with the producers coming out of the UK. at the forefront we have the moda crew who keep going from strength to strength and now they've been confirmed for an ibiza residency at eden. high fives to all those who are going to the send-off party may 1st with pete tong, kissy sell out and chew lips! even more exciting is their record label, moda music, after having topped the juno charts with their first two releases and they are about to unleash their signature track "moda owns you" in june with remixes from torso.x and sidechains. in particular, andy george, has been busy. this remix, which the guys have kindly let me share, is another example as to why the boy's been getting so much hype. in fact, over his last few productions he's rekindled some of the magic i first found with neal howard. did i mention he's a radio 1 dj? catch him playing with soulwax at their one big weekend in swindon!

you know what I love, wearing new shoes. now not just any old pair of shoes, sneakers. The whole process is great with any great pair of shoes, you go into the shop try on a bunch of shoes that are pretty meh but then you see them and you know its meant to be in this case. I do believe in love at first sight although after my little shop today. I don’t really have any money left I bought a karma sutra book..too personal? And tickets to the getaway plan which I should have gotten ages ago, hi tops and cigarettes it was a good day but it got even better because when I jumped on the computer. I expected annoyingly slow internet but its fast. good old mum upgraded, its times like these you just got to love mums.

I think this may be my longest post, I dunno what it is about this day but listening to ice cube (yes I know lame) and wearing my new shoes I’m just pulling so much shit out of my ass, now did I ever tell you about the time that I met ice cube? Haha damn right I did, so last year he was touring and he was playing a show in Brisbane and I was working at McDonalds in the city at the time and it was packed so busy. I was super shitty and not in the mood for work and these two super gangsta lookin dudes walk up and ordered two fish burgers medium fries and two garden salads (its weird that I remember that haha) and I’m just thinking wow there so gangsta and I was kind of like who is that guy he looks fimilar. anyway so he pulls out this huge thing of cash and I’m like wow and hes hell rich too and pays me and I walk away and my manager comes up to me all excited and is like BRIANA do you know who your serving?! And I’m like uhm no and hes like THAT’S ICE CUBE!! And I’m like scared I’m like are u serious I didn’t know if I should just give him his food or get an autograph or something but I was too chicken I just gave him his food with a smile.

But anyway I’m not sure which track I should put up hmm I’ve got the perfect thing keep the mood gangsta with my talk of ice cube and kicks, this is a Franco B Vocal Edit.

ahhchoooooooo! i always get hayfever in april. it can be a tad annoying when all you want to do is take advantage of the nice weather outside. you would happen to think that with the technology around in the 21st century (i'm looking to do a placement at IBM next year and they're developing 3D digital imaging for hospitals right now) yet there's nothing tactile enough out there to stop us poor souls from sneezing. i'm not going to complain though when it's this sunny- it just puts me in a good mood. i tell you who does bring a smile to my face though...JOCKS. i know jared from melasuperpoco, formerly known as FYOF, has been supporting this new producer from london as he posted up his delphic remix. if you remember we talked about JOCKS a couple of months ago when we showed you his passion pit and frankmusik mixes so for a bit of variation, i'll put up his excellent good books remix. they're a great band, and JOCKS adds a nice mellow touch. ooffff i love them drums.

there's no tracklist for the mixtape but i do recommend you give it a listen, most definitely. you've got forty minutes of uplifting choo choo chooonage crammed with positive vibes. check out the track after the old skool duke dumont remix... +500 awesome points.

I was running on the treadmill when I got into some kind of trance. I was daydreaming, high on endorphines, about the great party I would like to throw this summer. I tried to go thru all music I had on my phone while running but I couldn't really see how I would throw a party on those tracks...

BUT, when I came home my friend called me and told me he had the new Rico Tubbs EP and sent it to me. So now I'm back in my dreams, dreaming about how nice it would be to have a party with my babes shakin' their booties to tracks like the one I'm sharing today!!!

(...and for you who wonder: no we don't got summer in Sweden yet.)

oh my, the sun is out today. but, i'm going to have to ask you to put down your favourite tipple, store that barbecue away and refrain from putting on that sun cream because i need a couple of minutes of your time to check out this piece of awesome. and it's not jessica alba in her favourite bikini top. in fact, it's from another institubes gem. i love the faint and there's plenty of room about for das glow. check it out, it's insane. no download obviously and it's just a preview- but it's there to whet your appetite at the remix package and as a general tease.

Stream:

and for an extra special bonus let's have some summer music from player player. here's his new mix featuring that mighty fine touché (fake blood) track "vampires". expect plenty of wobbles and some heavy burners to keep your evening alight till you continue your fun to the clubs! definitely a recommendation.

I haven’t posted in so long! I’ve been busy and it also doesn’t help that my internet is annoyingly slow, but now I’m sitting at home hung over and not wanting to go anywhere. Though do you know who is awesome? M.I.A, songwriter, record producer, singer, fashion designer and artist. Her music has political lyricism and so does her artwork which I think is great and if you haven’t heard of her you will have heard her song paper planes. This song M.I.A teams up with new artist, producer, songwriter and remixer KOVAS.

So tonight is my last night at home before I fly back to England and finish up my last semester. Sadly I haven't been in the house much since being back and very rarely seeing the family or slept in my own bed. So tonight I’m going to stay in with my mum, treat her to a nice Chinese and rent us a DVD before I fly back.

So before this night in beings I thought I should do a post for the others staying in on a Saturday night. To be honest this post should have been down back in February after seeing Kissy Sellout, I was a right mess that night... Although Kissy knows his stuff and made for a great night, I found of gem of an act who were supporting Kissy before and played on after him long into the wee hours. Skullduggery really did blow me away with tune after tune and I often found myself with the phone out asking what the last song played was.

Sadly however I haven’t got much about these guys and have only caught them once since that Kissy show. Recently they have their own night going called Fresh Till Deaf which shall be where you will find me every Friday for the next two months I bet. In fact we should spend our Fridays at their club night not just for the fact we will see Skullduggery each time. But they have Foamo, Stupid Fresh and Mumdance playing the next three Fridays. ZOMG! :D

waking up in the morning and attempting to do an essay about organisational change is not a good look people. i quite possibly may be able to get away with being mistaken for a zombie. in fact, i might just go scare my little cousin and give her nightmares for the laughs. jokes. so for productivity purposes i have to refrain from listening to anything that's going to distract me... damn i have to turn that toddla t and siriusmo off. instead i find myself having to listen to the likes of dee d. jackson's "galaxy of love". perhaps not a good look either but i'm a sucker for her space disco. in fact if i was ever going to have sex on the moon with someone, it would be with dee dee. heyy if she wants her dirty little robot to join in, i might just have to consider it. jokes again. that's just channel 5 creepy. anyway perfect for times of easy listening is another one of hervé's side projects, the young lovers. i remember grabbing this back in 2007 on loungin' recordings but ohh no, this is not subject for a re-release... it's going to be on the album featuring primary one and trevor loveys! out on may 11th!

so where the party at? in the north of france it seems with thousands of you already going to the lucky dip party at vogue. nothing is half-hearted with these guys- expect it loud, dangerous and full of vigour and this reflects onto their debut EP "knacken". we already know our friends dragan and keyes, not just from their crazy electro parties, but also from their ever popular podcasts that has seen the likes of fellow reims boy brodinski join in on the mix. not to mention funkism favourite foamo and the heavy duty parisian that is don rimini as well. so following on from their success with that and coupled with their wild ambition to take over the world with their lucky dip parties, where else do they go on from here? make a dancefloor destructing record of course! it's very much in the crookers/bloody beetroots vain, which for those of you who go to these parties, is going to be right up your street. beware you don't lose control of youself. enjoy!

perhaps you may have been wondering where i've been over the last few days? i guess i have to put it down to an accumulation of easter holidays, girl problems and seeing friends for having a mini rest from blogging. well what spare time i have been getting (should be going on doing 10,000 words worth of essays about HR and stuff) is being spent working on this mix i'm putting together. yes there's lots of disco in this but it's all about explaining the sound of 2009 via the past. you'll soon see. anyway i got sent this track the other day by the milan based djs reset! and it seems only fitting to post their bootleg. i know it's risky business messing with the mighty james brown but this is brilliant. having getting airplay support from andy george & jaymo on their monthly radio show and now a cheeky shout out by me, you're sure to be onto something by downloading this. stay on the scene, like a sex machine. enjoy!

Phew, she is a bit stunning after getting into some nice clothes and a new haircut. Her music as well has changed, very catchy. Funkism friend Jack Beats got involved creating that Jacking Beats sound with the signature drops tied in with "wah-wah".

Currently diving into my Lindt Golden Bunny not because it is Easter, oh no! Because a small band hailing from Newbury, Fox Cubs, have decided to pack it in :(

Last Friday seen them play their last show in Reading. This small band had the most potential of any band in the UK but we all know ourselves how hit and miss the industry is. With songs like You Never Learn and their massive song Beast of England, I hate to think the songs I will be missing now they have called it a day.

After only forming in 2007, the Fox Cubs last year recorded live sessions for both Radio 1 and XFM, headlined Steve Lamacq’s stage at the 2008 Camden Crawl, performed on the BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds festivals, played as part of the BBC Electric Proms. They rounded it off by filming one of the now legendary JD set presents shows for Channel 4.

At parklife last year there was a part of his set where he was playing a loop from SOMETHING, and dropping FAKE BLOODS over it, it was all goin "FAKE BLOOD, IS IN THE HOUSE" "FAKE BLOOD, IS IN THE HOUSE". I know thats really vague..but apparently its a really big dance tune..

Any ideas what it could be ?

So far I have just kicked back and listened to CDs I have a home. I recently got looking through acts that played at SXSW this year and found that Arveene & Misk had been involved in some Austin antics. I have managed to also score myself the CMW Music From Ireland SXSW 09 CD, featuring most of the new acts that have come over from Ireland and play at SXSW. A surprise to me I found myself listening to the new Arveene & Misk track, disc 1, track 1 :D.

For you peeps who are wondering where you heard this name from already, Arveene & Misk did a Mr Oizo remix of his song Erreur Jean. Their remix made it onto the Mr Oizo – Pourriture release and is what essential brought them fame so quickly, not to mention an Erol Alkan thumbs up!

ever since we posted about decibel's remix of "hacksaw" they've been getting love from all over the world which is fitting really since, by being based in newcastle, it's pretty hard to get that kind of recognition over in the north east. saying that if you're in those whereabouts make sure you're down for rub a dub dub on april 12th to see heavyfeet, ac slater, blame and one half of decibel. that one half happens to be a certain mr backchat. despite being arsenal fan (it has to be west ham for london teams all the way) we alway catch him on twitter for a little natter...and you know what? he only went and sent us in a new track! this time an original called "fully paid" which is definitely going to persuade any square feet within radius of the speakers to burst out onto the dancefloor. yes it's huuge and your nanny wouldn't like it so therefore that results in only one action- pump up the volume.

I just got home from my job interview I think it went well so that’s good, but now I’m really excited about this post because I absolutely love the getaway plan; they are from Melbourne Australia so I love great home grown talent, very unfortunate they Recently announced their break up on their MySpace blog saying, “"There comes a point in everyone's lives where they must sit back and assess if everything is working the way it should be. We have come to a decision that The Getaway Plan will no longer continue to make music together.” it’s really sad I know. But luckily they are doing a final tour with amity affliction and elora danan, I’m getting my tickets tomorrow!.

Last week of university before a nice two week Easter break! I have not been in at all week either as I have done all my assignments meaning I could have went home on Monday arrrgggh! However, there was a lecture on Hip-Hop culture that I thought would be interesting. Sadly, I forgot about it making it a waste of a week.

So instead of spending all the money I don’t have I went through the imaginary bag of new music and reading through the funny April fools pranks people have been doing this week, taking notes for next year of course. (Pabs April fools, see below)

Now to the point of this post! Darling Records, currently being raved on by Jaymo and DJ Sneak. Darling Records are an act helping in the process of bringing music back in that one full circle. It's the same with everything no matter if it's music, fashion or hair. And i turn a to Mr Louis Louis quote after I mentioned his hair today; "So old fashion, it's back in fashion". Hair or whatever you can see already that disco is coming back with acts such as Aeroplane and if you are a reader of funkism you would know Pabs is loving life due to this. I myself ‘bum’ my house at the moment which is what Darling Records is giving me, taking me back to the flittered house music like it was in the 90s.

Do we remember Hot Knives? Indie band? Manchester? And we at funkism got the exclusive on their first ever track! Oh how well did they take off! Their first month as a band is up, the first gig has been done, made the top 5 on Hype Machine, got a remix coming on the way [watch this space for that kids], more gigs in the pipeline and the music industry is in their hands.

Well done to the lads, let’s hope they keep funkism in the loop. The Hot Knives have hooked us up again with a new song:

It's 4am and I'm yet to pack for my flight tomorrow morning. Don't worry though this flight will not be missed and I will see you funkers in Belfast tomorrow for some Mylo at the Stiff Kitten.
Shit I can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!

marky!

perhaps i could have had a bit of fun yesterday and played an april fools on you all like posting about a new justice (fake) song. in fact props to waves at night for getting people to actually fall for that! instead i was all april fooled out from setting up this strange looking contraption on my flatmate. it involved being awake at two in the morning, barricading her in her room using our furniture and a whole load of water. i have to say seeing her get splashed after she opened the door was well worth the effort but perhaps we should have let her out in the morning to go to uni. she did endeavour to get out by using a hammer but alas, that failed! so instead we sat their and threw water bombs, then went to bed. i have to say i may be the mischievous one in the house but you know, it's always more fun to be so. you know who else likes to cause havoc? yea you've guessed it, bass weazal. i'm sure you've seen me write before about their frivolous carnage through the city setting clubs alight...and they're back again. this time around taking their huuge beats to a track that needed that extra vigour. check it out!

and don't forget, if you're still wanting some extra ruthlessness from the weazals...check out their seventh mixtape which is out now. still no tracklisting, but really with this much bass, who needs one! plus, from now on i'll be keeping one eye in the back of my head. i think i'm next on the prank list. whoops!
