Baile Funk Records

it is also interesting to note that on this slab of vinyl does not credit any artists. FlaminHotz also is not paying the artists at all, nor has licensing.

yup.

so yeah it's spam, but dude should also be outed for ripping artists off.

-- killkillkillah60000 (poopaloo...), May 30th, 2006.

Your right. But I feel that I am not ripping the artists off since I am not making any profit per say. I am guessing that you know a good deal about the argument and if you would like to talk some more please hit me up. You can use either email.

So it's not illegal if I start selling records without the permission of the owner unless I don't make any money "per se". That's my ideas of legality all thrown up into the air now.

-- jimnaseum (takeyourmedicinelikeacham...), May 30th, 2006.

I look at it more like expanding the awareness of the music genre per se. I also have taken a lot of heat already for this record and have set about correcting the mistakes I have made. When I first set out to do the record I had different goals and did not think everything through clearly. I have received a lot of feedback, mostly negative, and am going to correct the mistakes I have made with future releases of these Baile Funk artists where I pay them and credit them correctly. At this point in time it is the only way to offer up penance for what I have done. If you like the music and want these people to get money buy my first release so I can have enough to make a second record with them. That is the ultimate goal of the label, not to make money put to continue to put out records that are progressive and danceable.

So yes this is post is spam to buy my record but I thought that some people might want this release.

Please feel free to email me any other questions.

I want it and am probably going to download it from some website and everybody wins!

The world's a mess

Actually, Diplo gave him shit for putting out this record.
But diplo can do his hollertronix mash ups and put them out on records and charge money for them?

It seems like a double standard to me.

Is Diplo turning into the the whining artist that DJ Shadow turned into?

-- hehoho (poopypant...), May 30th, 2006.

I just don't like how "DJ Icey Mike" seems to be obscuring his contribution to the record in the first post.

Should I go into your store and say "hey, someone is posting that you're an idiot on ILM"?

-- i'm from hollywood (someon...), May 30th, 2006.

I have read this message board before and have seen that blatant advertisements are frowned upon. I created an account on this board with my DJ pseudonym and posted about it in a third party fashion to avoid this argument. It just so happens that the person above knew my DJ name and called me out about it. I have a more official post about the record that involves an explanation that I have put up on several other messages boards but since I know the community here is different I decided against that. My involvement in the label is 100%.

-- Dj Icey Mike (djiceymik...), May 30th, 2006.

Ok, but can I get this record in the UK? 'Cos despite all the above I'd like to hear it...

-- Ned T.Rifle (nedtrifl...), May 30th, 2006.

"Actually, Diplo gave him shit for putting out this record."

Oh the ironing.

its delicious

-- Shakey Mo Collier (audiobo...), May 30th, 2006.

So I've got to admit I'm pretty clueless about baile funk. I've heard the chatter, but that's all. Can anyone recommend anything besides wiki/google/youtube-ing it?

-- Hoosteen (merlindude0...), May 30th, 2006.

All right, all right, I learned how to use the damned search function. Nobody shoot me.

-- Hoosteen (merlindude0...), May 30th, 2006.

Please feel free to hit me up with any questions. Also my ep is good place to start with some good tracks.

-- Dj Icey Mike (djiceymik...), May 31st, 2006.

baile Funk is shit anyway.
Diplo sucks and this record is a total scam.
- fuckers like you should be run out of business.

-- Savin All My Love 4 u (savinallmylove4...), June 1st, 2006.

if you're putting out a record of the music, it'd be good to know what it's called... in brazil, "funk carioca" is favored over "baile funk."

-- philip sherburne (psherburn...), June 1st, 2006.

The thread is now complete.

i do what i can to kill all these threads with that exact riposte....

A message from Carlos Machado aka DJ Nazz in my Miami Bass History group. This was in response to my attempt to convince the bass History guys who are just now discovereing Funk Carioca that a.) it's not called Baile Funk, and b.) it's not new as my earliest recordings of it date back to 1989:

http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/Miami_Bass_History/message/13533

Hey I'm djnazz and i'll clarify some points here:
I've been making the funky Parties since 1974
the rhythm was soul music on that time I'll give you some ex:
Lyn Collins -Thing,The Jb's,Average whithe band Pick up the Pieces,The meters people say,Clarence raid funk party,kc & the sunshine band etc...
After that Came rap's delight from sugar hill gang that song change the parties to rap and disco funk like kool and the gang Barkays One way,Shalamar,Debbie jacobs hot hot,Whisper, Earth wind and fire,sponie G spooning rap's,Whodini
Mr magic,Love bug starski you gotta believe,Spyder D , Kurts Blow just to tell some.
So after1982 come the planet rock,Deb Deb,Tyrone brunson,jive & the rhythm trax 122 bpm,Warp9,nunk,Little tony marsh- video burn out ,dr.jeckyl &mr hide the challenge etcrthis kind of music came over over here those songs change the parties but the name stay the same funky party,so we start to call This kind of music eletro funk or Funk eletronico in portuguese.
Now the parties are for 3000 to 5000 people in large places.
in 1984 we star to have some bass sound in our parties besides in 80 we have Raptivity that was very bass for me so the baile change again.
Now start to play more bass oriented music like Neucleus fresh mc's,Mcb,Conie ,Running information society,mc shyd Rap will never die,Mc Ade Bass mechanic,Mandingos,Gigolo tony smurphies rock,The megatrons,Trinere,Pretty tony etc..
In between 84 to 85 was born our taste for bass music.
So as you can see the things started before 1989.
On that time there wasn’t internet so to have the records we need to have people that work on the Air companies like Panan to bring us records or buy throuth the mail that was my case as a dj I ever import my records and ask friends to bring me some in theirs travels.
In 1986 I went to New York for the first Time and start to dig,discover and bring almost 90% of the records that came to Brazil between 86 to 98
Records Stores like Downtown records (Mr frank Ramos,Albert Marrero)Downstars Mr Nick,Rock and soul ,Music factory,vinylmania,just to tell some started to receive my visit every month.
After one year travelling to New york i started to went to Miami,los Angeles,San francisco ,Mr.eddie Fonseca from JDC records can testify these facts, And so the eletronic music scene in Brazil start to become stronger we saw a documentary called wild style and start to make scraths on the Parties,we have radios playing our music and in the midle of 89 a guy called Cidinho Cambalhota that was the A&R of polygram in Brasil and used to make performaces in the Parties(Baile funk) have a idea of to make That songs that we used to play on the parties with lirycs in portuguese but he was killed and the people of polygram put marlboro as the head of the project give him notoriety.
But he do not discover nothing or invent anything, he was in a right place on the right time.
This here is a brief resume if I’ll tell you all the history probaly we have to spend several pages or write a book.
But if someone have any question I can answer it
Just to finish:
The funk carioca is the miami bass song samplers edited by the dj’sçause they do not have acess to tecnology on that time .so we use samplerrs loops grom songs like Ring my phone by shantell & dwayne,Ice t hassam,Dj battery brain and so one.
I can tell you the real history of each records tha came over here I was there.
Besides I’m not on the midia this is the true history .
Funk carioca as we Know was Born in the grandmaster studio when I Djnazz,Dj Amazing Clay,Map style,and Grandmaster raphael start to producer people from the favelas rhyming ovrer the beats and talking about their realities this other guy do not play our music and now he say i’m the guy I invented it that’s ridiculus.
That;s why the name funk carioca because when people from São Paulo other big city in Brasil listened that kind of rap used to say :it’s the cariocas funk.
The first rap with lirycs in portuguese was in 1979 and was ca vesion of rapper’s delight from sugarhill gang.

Rap brasileiro
Muito se diz sobre qual foi o primeiro rap feito no Brasil. Gerson King Combo, já em 1977, fazia um soul com falas que lembrava muito o rap, mas não podemos considerá-lo um rap na essência do termo. O showman Miele gravou em 1979, uma versão de "Rapper`s Delight" do Sugarhilll Gang chamada "Melô do Tagarela". A rádio Cidade FM (Atual Sucesso FM) de São Paulo gravou em 1981, um compacto também com uma versão da mesma música chamada "Tema de Natal da Cidade" que era um belíssimo rap, com a voz de seus locutores (naquele tempo locutor de rádio tinha que ter boa voz
That’s it for a while

Everytime I hear a Funk Carioca track that samples Let's get Started by Thumbs and Hoestiles (Frank Cornelious), I often wonder if Brazilians, especially of this generation, even know what the Munsters are, much less have context of 1985 American Hip-Hop/Bass replaying TV melodies ala Doug Fresh's The Show (Inspector Gadget).
