Purple Wonky Funk

YES B. Bravo is amazing! And thanks StrangeFlow! It's not real turntablism... hint: reverb tail in a sampler + ring mod.

I'm cranking out some wonkier stuff lately too. http://alibergermusic.com/hardwareweekl ... gnment.mp3 sounds a lot like AD Bourke at 77bpm. I'm making another one this week for Hardware Weekly which you guys probably saw my post on, I'm planning to keep with the wonky funk theme...

marty party's new album is called "purple", so he's branding himself as such.

No offense to marty or anything, but that album is not really purple at all in my mind.
I liked his previous release a lot more than that album.

I agree. The purple sound Marty Party is slanging is nowhere near purple in my head.

yea im really diggin the "purple" sound... i want to know more about it.. I wonder if anyone has written a "guide to purple" the way, say, there might be a "guide to writing good Hair-Metal" or "Guide to writing Hard Bop Jazz" etc... Ohh indeed I do wonder!! I'll go and scour the googleweb for it, though I doubt its on there...

Also, anyone know how long "purple" has been used as a description or a semi-description of a sound? Or does it go back to....fuckin... Prince and his purple rain, or even Parliament? I definitely get a real purple vibe when I listen to songs like Flashlight by Parliament... i know ive ranted about that song to anyone who would be willing to listen, but damn is it a dope track!!! Completely holds up, to this day, and surpasses any other funk tracks ive heard since, in my EXTREMELY HUMBLE and ALWAYS CORRECT opinion.

I feel like it's one of those styles that like... you might have to just pick it up by listening to "purple" - sounding artists... am i wrong?

I love the Pantyraid album but this is all somewhat of a mis-step IMO. Calling his album "Purple" and calling his show the "Purple Opera".

It's Joker's thing.

I wouldn't really say Joker had first say, I think he uses it in reference to the sexy funky by gone era. But then theres the whole Purple drank element as well.

And also:

(1990 electro wonk)

wow, nice find!!

purple beats from 1990 eh? lovely. the scratching kinda reminds of...like.....Herbie Hancock's Rockit

i just finished a funk track. Not sure if it's purple. But it's colorful as hell... My rendition of what it would sound like if Sanford & Son took LSD and played with some synthesizers... Kinda wonky shit, too, like leaving wheaties in milk for an hour too long... mmmm

ok so, ive been having a real go at making funk, and there's definitely a barrel-full of wonky that spilled onto this track... you'll notice it.. i be the funk baron, a real sloppy dog of funk, always on the lookout for them sloppy cats, you know... :love:

As Verb+ already mentioned, if you're looking for modern takes on funk, you should definitely take a look at our artists and TDR in general

yea true... and itd be easier if i could just have two laptops so i could constantly spin and actually listen... ya need more than one person to be able to hear the music... but you need music to get people in there. its a vivcious catch 22. kinda like... i eat because im unhappy but unhappy because im eat...
or that vicious nyquil cycle lol...
or maybe its a vicious catch 23, cuz its wonky... ? :pimp:

anyone know of any other sites similiar to turntable fm? i know there's radio sites.. i know about glitch.fm, thats where the Wonky Underground lived... anyone know of any others?

or is it just youtube-youtube-youtube-youporn-fap-youtube-youtube for me tonight?
