The 'funkpunk '79-'02' mixtape, what should be on it?

Do The Liars count here?

New FADS - as the other thread suggests kept the flame alive at the turn of the 90s - you could fit "Music Is Shit" on easily.

What about Blancmange? Bush Tetras? Fashion? Golden Palominos? King Trigger? Raincoats? Section 25?

a certain ratio - "flight" or "do the du" or both
pop group - "she is beyond good and evil" or "we are all prostitutes"
this heat - "24 track loop"
slits - "i heard it through the grapevine"
gang of four - "i found that essence rare (peel session)"
liquid liquid - "cavern" or "optimo"
23 skidoo - "IY"
cabaret voltaire - "wait and shuffle"
p.i.l. - "death disco"
pigbag - "papa's got a brand new pigbag"
rip, rig & panic - "constant drudgery..."
shriekback - "lined up"
bush tetras - "too many creeps"
the contortions - "i can't stand myself"
josef k - "fun 'n frenzy"
delta 5 - "mind yr own business"

nu-skool

rapture - "house of jealous lovers"
computer cougar - "stunt pilot"
monorchid - "southern fried wonton"
red monkey - "in her own write"
lcd soundsystem - "beat connection"

My friend Richard wrote the bassline for "Cavern"!

campag velocet 'to lose la trek'
lo fidelity all stars - 'kool roc bass', 'kasparov's revenge', 'disco machine gun'
david holmes 'freaknik'
jane's addiction 'been caught stealing'

Also what about some of those Ron Johnson's Records bands from the mid-80s - Twang? Big Flame possibly? (to be honest I only half remember these from John Peel shows, so maybe I'm way off the mark)

there should probably be some fugazi on the nu-skool side but damned if i know. also, chilli peppers? (as much as i hate themthey were, like tom said about spandau ballet, one of the few bands to take it HIGH aboveground.)

I'd even throw VHS Or Beta's "Heaven" in on the modern end. It's Disco more than funk, but, a slice of it.

So how about Grace Jones-"Nipple to the Bottle", "Feel Up", "Pull Up to the Bumper".

yeah, i forgot erase errata. something from their album then.

Stewart is very much OTM with Deta 5 and Au Pairs (were you at THAT Au Pairs gig at RUSU in 1981, Stewart? Best gig ever!)

I'd prolly insist on Shriekback's 'My Spine is The Bassline', Blurt's 'My Mother Was A Friend Of An Enemy of the People' and Scriti's 'Lions After Slumber'

Liars, Rapture, !!!, Radio 4 etc. are all amazing live and really get the crowd moving, but they don't stand a chance put on a mix with the heavyweights of old..

!!! are such rubbish.

ian dury. - something off "New Boots and Panties"
red krayola "micro chips and fish". 12" on rough trade. way better than the funky but smooth "Black Snakes" album. super rhythmic and discordant
don cherry - his crossover album "Home Boy" has some funky stuff
pere ubu "dub housing"
Bohannon "insides out" super wonderful stripped down disco, sounds like talking heads
Tuxedomoon - anything off "half-mute" or "desire"
Jah Wobble "betrayal" - the album he got fired from pil for 'borrowing' basslines from second edition
Hoger Czukay's "on the way to the peak of normal" has some
great dubbed out soundtrack-y stuff
and the first B52's album kicks ass
the Clash has some winners on 'sandinista'
birthday party
some of the On-U Sound label veers more in the post-punk spectrum. Especially bands like Playgroup
and last but definitely not least
Palais Shaumburg. Amazing German proto-electronic funky post punk

Ummm.... I certainly remember seeing them play there around that time, but I don't remember anything outstandingly memorable about it.... am I forgetting something Dr. C?

reasons why i love QPR #4: pigbag is the club song!

Played this tiny bit of Disco punk-funk yesterday at a set. I think they fit in this thread for the most part.

Maximum Joy - Silent Street / Silent Dub
ESG - Moody (Spaced Out)
Lizzy Mercier Descloux - Fire
Grandmaster Flash - White Lines
Stone Roses - Fool's Gold
Tom Tom Club - Genius of Love / You Sexy Thing
Blurt - The Fish Needs a Bike
The Glove - Like an Animal
David Bowie - Sound and Vision
Gang of Four - Natural's Not In It
The Honeymoon Killers - Wait and See

.. did that work? Anyway, Glaxo Babies not mentioned so far.

I'd figure these tunes would fit in.

Rapeman- Just Got Paid
The Big Boys- Baby Let's Play God
The Effigies- Security
Butthole Surfers- Who Was In My Room Last Night?

I'd figure you could mix something from in Ministry/Rev Co/Waxtrax also into such a playlist too.

pigbag, not pigfuck !

material -upriver,
ronald shannon jackson - spanking,
jamaaladeen tacuma - sunk in the funk,
jackdaw with crowbar - amerillo,
davy dmx - one for the treble,
dawson - booger hall,

james blood ulmer - rush hour,
orchestre super jheeves des paillottes - ye nan lon an,
cabaret voltaire - breathe deep,

jesse johnson ffs!
gotta get henry threadgill's "try some ammonia" in there as well.

Wow at that list. I approve. Can I add Farrago by the Noseflutes?

love the noseflutes!
gotta choose a bIG fLAME song.
i'm going with "sink".
need to go through my a.witness & pick something too.

oh no changing my mind:
bIG fLAME: New Way (Quick Wash and Brush Up With Liberation Theology)
also,
dawson - biceps,
god is my co-pilot - best friends

Also The Fall. Totally Wired / Hit the North fit this sound.

In the modern vein the ones that I remember off the top of my head (and I'm sure ILM hates at least half of these):

Datarock - Fa Fa Fa
Le Tigre - Deceptacon (DFA rmx)
Peaches - Lovertits
CSS - Alala
Fujiya & Miyagi - Collarbone
The Gossip - Heavy Cross / Standing in the Way of Control
Delorean - As Time Breaks Off
Zongamin - Bongo Song

Oh and Tom Vek's first album. ILM liked him no?

You Set the Fire, I ain't saying my goodbyes, nothing but green lights.

i thought about the fall, but the only song i could think of which is "funky" enough to qualify is "everybody but myself", and that's probably too languid, despite the monster groove.
similarly a.witness on a revisit are largely way too "shambling" too qualify (scratchy glam skiffle stomp w/ bullish bottom end), however:
a.witness - razors lifestyle mix
joe morris - "well put"
b52's - d byrne mix of "cake" (the non byrne mix rocks harder, but this has more horns & byrne's shoehorned in chicken scratch guitar extemporisations)
neneh cherry - buffalo stance

Not "Marquis cha-cha" ?

(it's a bit stop/starty though)

even "telephone thing" sounds more like the butthole surfers in blackpool, despite wahwah guitar and latin percussion

I guess "No Bulbs" is too 'rock' to funk

the fall are pretty funkless, IMO, despite some sorta scratchy guitar / rhythmic crux overlap w/ a lot of this stuff.
as much as i want to shoehorn in a loada beefheart / swell maps cos of similar overlap - there's nowt that suits.
*
moka - half your last suggestions are way past 2002.
~
does minutemen's "felt like a gringo" go without saying?

"Fantastic Life" (b-side of "Lie Dream") is definitely an attempt at being funky by the Fall.

... and " Psykick Dancehall' has a sort of disco bassline.

oh maybe "prole art threat", come to think of it?

oh sorry Moka ! - you did say those were "in the modern vein" - my mistake!
i guess tussle's "kling klang" (2005?) would also fit here, if we take a time machine approach - a better retro take on this stuff than most

Yeah the thread says 2002 but it was created back then and I don't think it's worth it to create a new 1979-2014 thread. I guess if there's anything worthy in the 'genre' released after 2002 we can cheat right?

The genre died somewhere around 2005 though so I don't think anyone's going to revive it anytime soon.

nochmal zeitgenössische, a few tracks off the first few ahleuchatistas albums (particularly "what you will") would definitely make the grade, & we could take a couple of tracks off the blackhouse album for scrappy electro breakdance funtimes

been boggling my mind thinking there was a bogshed tune ripe for this and this es war in meines Gehirrn gespunketh : "RAISE THE GIRL" gwaan there.
raise the girl to another world.
oh, BTW my suggested blackhouse hits were the georgia anne muldrow romeo jimenez blackhouse, not the mormon noise thing. check 'em out for planet rock / al naayfish goodness m'lady

trouble funk - pump me up,

great song and loved at the time and later, but imho just straight-up go-go funk and not funk-punk (but loved by funk-punkers and Beastie Boys and others )
