New FADS - as the other thread suggests kept the flame alive at the turn of the 90s - you could fit "Music Is Shit" on easily.

Also what about some of those Ron Johnson's Records bands from the mid-80s - Twang? Big Flame possibly? (to be honest I only half remember these from John Peel shows, so maybe I'm way off the mark)

there should probably be some fugazi on the nu-skool side but damned if i know. also, chilli peppers? (as much as i hate themthey were, like tom said about spandau ballet, one of the few bands to take it HIGH aboveground.)

I'd even throw VHS Or Beta's "Heaven" in on the modern end. It's Disco more than funk, but, a slice of it.

ian dury. - something off "New Boots and Panties"red krayola "micro chips and fish". 12" on rough trade. way better than the funky but smooth "Black Snakes" album. super rhythmic and discordantdon cherry - his crossover album "Home Boy" has some funky stuffpere ubu "dub housing"Bohannon "insides out" super wonderful stripped down disco, sounds like talking headsTuxedomoon - anything off "half-mute" or "desire"Jah Wobble "betrayal" - the album he got fired from pil for 'borrowing' basslines from second editionHoger Czukay's "on the way to the peak of normal" has some great dubbed out soundtrack-y stuffand the first B52's album kicks assthe Clash has some winners on 'sandinista'birthday partysome of the On-U Sound label veers more in the post-punk spectrum. Especially bands like Playgroup and last but definitely not leastPalais Shaumburg. Amazing German proto-electronic funky post punk

I'd figure you could mix something from in Ministry/Rev Co/Waxtrax also into such a playlist too.

i thought about the fall, but the only song i could think of which is "funky" enough to qualify is "everybody but myself", and that's probably too languid, despite the monster groove. similarly a.witness on a revisit are largely way too "shambling" too qualify (scratchy glam skiffle stomp w/ bullish bottom end), however:a.witness - razors lifestyle mixjoe morris - "well put"b52's - d byrne mix of "cake" (the non byrne mix rocks harder, but this has more horns & byrne's shoehorned in chicken scratch guitar extemporisations)neneh cherry - buffalo stance
― massaman gai, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 07:53 (nine years ago) link
Not "Marquis cha-cha" ?
― Mark G, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 07:55 (nine years ago) link
(it's a bit stop/starty though)
even "telephone thing" sounds more like the butthole surfers in blackpool, despite wahwah guitar and latin percussion
― massaman gai, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 08:00 (nine years ago) link
I guess "No Bulbs" is too 'rock' to funk
― Mark G, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 08:41 (nine years ago) link
the fall are pretty funkless, IMO, despite some sorta scratchy guitar / rhythmic crux overlap w/ a lot of this stuff. as much as i want to shoehorn in a loada beefheart / swell maps cos of similar overlap - there's nowt that suits.*moka - half your last suggestions are way past 2002.~does minutemen's "felt like a gringo" go without saying?
― massaman gai, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 09:35 (nine years ago) link
"Fantastic Life" (b-side of "Lie Dream") is definitely an attempt at being funky by the Fall.
― FYI Macedonia (Tom D.), Tuesday, 19 August 2014 09:59 (nine years ago) link
... and " Psykick Dancehall' has a sort of disco bassline.

oh sorry Moka ! - you did say those were "in the modern vein" - my mistake! i guess tussle's "kling klang" (2005?) would also fit here, if we take a time machine approach - a better retro take on this stuff than most
― massaman gai, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 13:00 (nine years ago) link
Yeah the thread says 2002 but it was created back then and I don't think it's worth it to create a new 1979-2014 thread. I guess if there's anything worthy in the 'genre' released after 2002 we can cheat right?
― Moka, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 20:50 (nine years ago) link
The genre died somewhere around 2005 though so I don't think anyone's going to revive it anytime soon.
