Also The Fall. Totally Wired / Hit the North fit this sound.

In the modern vein the ones that I remember off the top of my head (and I'm sure ILM hates at least half of these):

Datarock - Fa Fa Fa
Le Tigre - Deceptacon (DFA rmx)
Peaches - Lovertits
CSS - Alala
Fujiya & Miyagi - Collarbone
The Gossip - Heavy Cross / Standing in the Way of Control
Delorean - As Time Breaks Off
Zongamin - Bongo Song

Oh and Tom Vek's first album. ILM liked him no?

You Set the Fire, I ain't saying my goodbyes, nothing but green lights.

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 mix
joe 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

Not "Marquis cha-cha" ?

Mark G, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 07:55 (nine years ago) link

(it's a bit stop/starty though)

Mark G, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 07:55 (nine years ago) link

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?

"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 maybe "prole art threat", come to think of it?

massaman gai, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 10:56 (nine years ago) link

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.

Moka, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 20:51 (nine years ago) link

nochmal zeitgenössische, a few tracks off the first few ahleuchatistas albums (particularly "what you will") would definitely make the grade, & we could take a couple of tracks off the blackhouse album for scrappy electro breakdance funtimes

massaman gai, Friday, 22 August 2014 12:46 (nine years ago) link

been boggling my mind thinking there was a bogshed tune ripe for this and this es war in meines Gehirrn gespunketh : "RAISE THE GIRL" gwaan there.
raise the girl to another world.
oh, BTW my suggested blackhouse hits were the georgia anne muldrow romeo jimenez blackhouse, not the mormon noise thing. check 'em out for planet rock / al naayfish goodness m'lady

trouble funk - pump me up,

great song and loved at the time and later, but imho just straight-up go-go funk and not funk-punk (but loved by funk-punkers and Beastie Boys and others )
