JUNK FUNK

Currently annoying the wife and kids with the JUNK spoils courtesy of Uncarved.Org's recent competition... some real tasty ruff and ready stuff here which often sounds like tape reels gone to speed, or rather racing towards an unknown, unthought of destination halfway between the Mokum studios and the Glitch Unkown...

No, not like I Wanna Be A Hippy though.

Some of this is almost telegraphed and soft but this is in the context of 140bpm being the kind of tempo that these guys start looking around the dancefloor for a Careless Whisper moment...

If you had some of Chris Morris's CAKE, you might find that this is practically Portishead but otherwise you'll have to accept it's DeepDub Drillcore or Mongolian TechStep or Adenoise Darkhop or Urban Godzilla Eppy Bass (UGEB - straight oughta North Somerset) or maybe just an uglier, bouncier, more retarded yet more programmed offspring of Gabba, with beats and vocal samples spazzing all over the shop, twisting in and out of one another and generally making a lovely racket.

So, not exactly sex music but me and the Loki kids are having the most dancing fun since the time littlest Loki got her hair trapped in the blender...


Actually, I'm playing Owley Girl by Sickboy at the moment on 33 rpm and its almost starting to make sense which has made me think that perhaps I've had the speed wrong all the time...

Those voices are meant to be slurred aren't they?

Thanks again John and Junk
