    well to me funk is not inherent to techno as somebody mentionned ... most of the dark stuff isnt funky, and thats obviously the dark techno addicts like miro laugh at people requesting funky techno.

    to me, drumcode isnt funky label too... the label has produced some interesting dj tools imo, but i dont wualify them of funky

    i dont think the funk can be described.. most of the time it really depends on the dj who mixes it, the way you play records really brings the funk .. just look the difference between surgeon and derrick may ways of mixing, each has its own particular genre, and not saying theres one better than the other, i would say each one has its different way of thinking techno

    to me, some kewl funky labels are : sls, ingoma, purpose maker, teknotika... the thing is that the purists will diss these labels saying they are "cheesy" but well this is becasue htese guys are funk haters

    I disagree, some people just can't hear/feel it unless it's made really obvious/contrived. Unless people are either incompetent or going out of their way to produce something cold, bland and lifeless then it's usually there...whatever "it" may be.

    Well I agree that funk is not inherent to all techno (Alex Empire for example) but most techno you would listen to in a club has a funky groove.

    You mean Alec Empire? I thought his stuff was classed as Digital Hardcore? See "bland, lifeless" as above. Contrived, also.

    Good for you. Will you be checking out the examples I gave you? Not sure you'll find all of them in HMV (you'll find most of the other examples down there though).

    Do you use soulseek? That's an excellent way to discover new music, lots of obscure stuff on there.

    Look mate, the only reason I called it that is because that was what I was told it was, I didn't make the name up. I came on here to get some help finding a certain sound I happen to like and all you've done is take the piss. What's the point? Sorry if I offended you by calling your precious genre something it isn't but like I said I'm pretty new to techno. Get a fukin life will ya!

    If only it was the case... :lol:

    I thought the first rule of techno was there were no rules??? I can see where death on a stick is coming from, don't take him the wrong way, his heart's in the right place ;)
    At the end of the day, there's so much stuff that could be considered "funky techno" thats all different it's hard to know what you're looking for, check out the online shops, like Juno, and just randomly listen to stuff in the techno section, best way to hear new stuff you've never heard of I recon..
    Whether stuff has got the funk is totally subjective, I personally don't find stuff like drumcode funky, but some people might.. I can't be arsed with arguing the toss with someone on a msg board who is convinced it is..

    S'funny, the people who bang on about the 'purists' strangely seem to be the same people who won't open their ears up to anything other than what they're currently into...

    That's not "all" he's done. He has also made some very good recommendations : Red Planet, UR, Robert Hood, Kenny Larkin, Cristian Vogel, Derrick May, Akufen, Carl Craig, Stephen Brown, Dan Curtin, DBX, Model 500, Farben etc.
    Check 'em. ;)

    What the f.u.ck are you on about? You're an idiot. Learn to read. What precious genre? I've given you better information than any of the people who've cited the stale generic twoddle that spotty teens do drugs to.

    yeah, I know what he's asking for, I just thought I'd help him to avoid wasting his time on that crap and get straight to the good stuff. And he thinks I ain't helping?

    Listen addict, I`m affraid there are some techno snobs on this forum lurkin about. "Funky" techno does tend to be more dancefloor friendly and sometimes crosses over to tech-house. Some people consider music that people actually like and DANCE to, to be below them, but what is important is to listen to what you like, there have been some good examples given on this thread, ignor the sarcasm and go explore.
    You can get some very ass shakin` hard and dark techno as well, but I think the stuff your referring to is the more "Techy, Proggy" kinda thing.
    Solitary by nature.
    Isolation is the gift.
    Does anyone have courage to stand apart any more?
