Tales From The Bog
Swamp Thing
Funky may be the new disco, but that's not
stopping anybody from jumping on the bandwagon. Seems like all it
takes is for Kode9 to publicly announce his
approval and every blogger is a convert.
Skream, on the other hand, was recently overheard giving the thumbs
down to Rinse's new Funky club night, Beyond. But before we could
jump to conclusions about the crown prince of Dubstep disapproving
the new old dance permutation, he quickly corrected us. Seems his
disdain is just for Beyond and not for Funky. In fact, he tells us
that he's got a new project in the works called Funky Junkie, a
collaboration with noted Funky-man Geeneus. But Skream, darling,
haven't you heard Geeneus's remix of "Night"? It's crap.
Now, before you all start wondering about a possible rift in the
Ammunition camp, let's talk about real catfights.
Apparently, the minimal techno scene in Berlin isn't quite as cosy
as we thought it was. A little bird tells us that Perlon and M-nus
may have been having a little tiff for
yoinks. It may or may not have had something to do
with M-Nus 'licensing' tracks from Perlon without permission.
Naughty naughty. Still, Perlon may be having the last laugh as it
turns out we weren't the only ones who enjoyed M-Nus's
hairball-inducing photoshoot for Contakt. Richie may make some
good music, but that doesn't mean he has any taste.
Finally, in a real WTF moment, we've been informed (belatedly, why
are we the last to find out about everything?) that Russell
Haswell's partner is Amanda Donohoe. She of
television fame circa LA Law, etc. Apparently, she also used to go
out with Adam Ant, so maybe she just likes moody musicians?
p.s. We love disco.
