Works# {VIDEO} ROLAMDS JAM/FUNKIN EVEN
Recently London whether has got really weird like winter.
I rolled of the hem of my trouser again...
By the way, I filmed music clip of London's finest weird beat maker 'FUNKINEVEN''s new acid track named 'ROLANDs JAM'.
He's actually influenced from 80's Acid house, Electro, Chicago, New wave, but he also adopted with modern London feelings as well. Then he released that factor with his own warm character and vibes too.
I always surprised by FunkinEven's music like is previous tune She's Acid .
This 'ROLANDs Jam' is also made me shock as nightmare again.
I had really smashed when I listened this one first time at his studio.
Then we have started to talk about how video will suit for this wicked track....
Anyway, this is gift from one of best track maker in LDN who has strong opinion for all bass music lover . He actually has originally from Grenadian soul too.
Anyway, Alex nut who own label 'Eglo record' said on twitter about this video
'Put the kids to bed and load it up'.
Please enjoy 2011's Machine funk from his 1st release in this year.....
６月に入ってからのロンドンは、暖かくなったり、まるで冬みたいに息が白くなる様な寒さだったり、変な天気が続いています。
冬の間は気を張って、寒さに備えているからいいものの、熱いから短パンで出かけて、夜は息が白いなんて時もあり、すこし戸惑いつつも皆夏を楽しもうと雨の下でBBQをしたりしてます。
さて最近は東ロンドンきってのオールドクーラーFUNKINEVENのPVを作っていました。
彼は８０年代Electro、New wave、Acid Houseから強く影響を受けつつも、
今のロンドンの空気を取り込んで本人の暖かいGood vibesで調合,放出しています。
彼の作る音楽には毎回びっくりさせられているのですが、今回もまた秀逸。
初めて彼のスタジオに出向いて聞かせてもらった時は衝撃的でした。
（そのスタジオも下手なクラブより全然音が良いし、でかかった...）
Acid Houseを彷彿させる曲ですが、UK BASS マナーと彼のグレネイダ（カリブ海にあるジャマイカの隣国）にルーツを持つ、Bass／ダンスカルチャーへの愛とアイデアとユーモアが詰められていて、好きな人にとってたまらない５分間の長編だと思います。
ビデオの内容は、と言って説明するのも野暮と思うので、是非見てみてください。
でもパソコンを開く前に子供を寝かしつけてからな！って誰かが言ってました。

BADNESS
インタビュー撮ってきました。
GRIME-現在のロンドンのURBAN MUSIC（BLACKMUSIC）カルチャーの
中の一つで,ルーツは2STEPやGARAGEと呼ばれるHOUSE MUSICから派生していて、
昨今のDUBSTEPとも似た音色をもっているが、
その一番の違いはラップミュージックである事という事。
GRIMEのラッパーはGRIMEの７０前後の遅いビートの上で倍速の早口ラップをする。
彼はその活動基点を幼少期にレゲエによって始め、
現在でもGRIMEの早口ラップと共に、レゲエの様なToastingと
さらには歌うような表現（しかもめちゃくちゃ旨い）をミックスさせている。
そして、彼は他の社会への問題提起やギャング的目線の生活をイギリスなまりの
アクセントでひたすらに畳み掛ける様にラップする多くのラッパー達とは違う視点で
歌い上げます。
そんな感じでしょうか。
ざっくりですが、ここでジャンルの事や、思想哲学を書くつもりはないので、
とりあえず彼の歌っている動画を何点かあげます。
二曲ともサビを歌ってます。一曲目は最後のバースもやってます。
こういった感じでロンドンのアーティストのインタビュー
ちょこちょこあげていきたい思います。
最近は晴れが多いです。ロンドン。
