"warrior" is such a banger but i always prefer their remixes to their instrumental tunes (same goes for ill blu too)
― lex pretend, Monday, 2 April 2012 21:00 (twelve years ago) link
apart from "we found love" which not even funkystepz could salvage
I think this is their strongest EP yet.
Even though "Jigga" is a bit "I see what you did there" it's hard not to love their sheer gumption - who else would even attempt it?

oh man "jigga" is fantastic
― J0rdan S., Monday, 2 April 2012 22:22 (twelve years ago) link

With MCs on top it's like O_O

This entire 20 April 2011 Marcus Nasty / Shanti / Rankin set is epochal, lifechanging etc, but the bit you want is from 65:55:

the handclaps as snare rush make me so ridiculously happy
as does the way every moment of climax is punctuated, inexorably, with ".......FUNKYSTEPZ!"
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 13:17 (twelve years ago) link
Funkiest possible things to say during the moment of climax

Available for download, Funkystepz's trap remix of D'Banj's Oliver Twist:http://soundcloud.com/funkystepzuk/dbanj-oliver-twist-funkystepzFunkystepz have mentioned in interviews that they want to expand beyond UK Funky in 2012 and do Miami Bass, R&B, hip-hop, etc.Found this also, coming out at the end of the month, Funkystepz remix of Rebecca Ferguson, straight R&B:http://www.djcity.co.uk/digital/rebecca-ferguson-glitter-gold-funkystepz-remix---23794.htmAnybody by chance record this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01g9g9v? I really want to hear 'Preeya Kalidas — Love Between Us (Funkystepz Miami Bass Mix). I like the original and FS's Miami Bass remixes have been great, hope this is no exception.

unless it gets wild further down the line somewhere, it's no big deal alas.

No I've got that show tho

interesting. you work for auntie i presume?
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 20:12 (twelve years ago) link
Thanks, trace and rtc! I do hope as FS evolve and expand into other areas that they don't completely abandon their signature bubbly, hyper-colorful, intricately convoluted Funky/Garage sound, because there's no one I'm aware of to fill that void.

incredible!

I wish they'd done a little more with "Oliver Twist" but I feel ridiculous even saying anything negative about such a horn o' plenty
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 21 May 2012 11:18 (twelve years ago) link
agree but then it's probably about a year before everyone's up to the time with afro

three weeknd remixes? :/
― The Reverend, Monday, 21 May 2012 12:25 (twelve years ago) link
three weeknd remixes? :)
I'm on my fourth download attempt, fingers crossed.
― Josiah Alan, Monday, 21 May 2012 12:50 (twelve years ago) link
OK, Vybz Kartel remix much better than any of the Weeknd remixes. The pitched up Buju, ehh.
― Josiah Alan, Monday, 21 May 2012 13:39 (twelve years ago) link
Now I'm trying to figure out which one of their Rihanna remixes are superior.
― Josiah Alan, Monday, 21 May 2012 14:01 (twelve years ago) link
cake
― The Reverend, Monday, 21 May 2012 14:25 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, that Cake remix. This whole collection is super generous and awesome!
Does anyone know the significance of the titles (Miami Bass vs. Loveshy) btw?
― MikoMcha, Monday, 21 May 2012 14:40 (twelve years ago) link
Yes! Love that Buju Banton remix, brilliant that one, as are they all, including the Rudekid remix they just put out. I wouldn't think the Weeknd (or Bruno Mars for that matter) would be the best material for them to remix, but I think they all work, love the dark garage vibe of those. Ridiculous how many good tunes Funkystepz have amassed.
― Astrochimp32, Monday, 21 May 2012 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
"the motto" sounds amazing

No I don't, and I haven't listened to it yet (dl it at work). But a huge part of me wishes that Loveshy takes its inspiration from Kristine Blond's "Love Shy", the Club Asylum remix of which is one of my all time favourite pieces of music ever.

I actually assumed this and feel likewise.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 08:16 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i assume that too
massive lol @ how they pitch drake's voice to sound like some sort of gremlin on "the motto" remix
― kanye kardashian (lex pretend), Thursday, 24 May 2012 06:44 (twelve years ago) link
the "oliver twist" one is a bit pointless though
CAKECAKECAKECAKECAKE probably takes the cake
it's funny cuz there's a tennis player whose nickname is CAKE and worlds are colliding here
― kanye kardashian (lex pretend), Thursday, 24 May 2012 06:45 (twelve years ago) link
It's the Esthero remix that I keep coming back to. I dunno, it just suits me right now
