Firstly if you havent heard a ministry of sound (mos) compilation then look no further than funky house sessions. If you have you will know you cant go wrong with a mos compilation!
Funky house is definately becomming more and more the "flavour" of 2005 and i have been a big fan of the style ever since becomming a student in Manchester where the club scene is great. The main radio station here plays all of these tracks and I love them all.
My favourites:
cabin crew - start to fall [uniting nations remix] (classic reminds me a bit of my youth)
basment jaxx - oh my gosh (i love basment jaxx and this definately represents them)
les rythmes digitales - jacques your body (make me sweat 2005) (when i first heard this i burst into laughter coz i recognised it. after 2 minutes i realised it was from the citreon c4 advert with the dancing car)
steve mac vs mosquito - that big track (just makes me think of summer)
Ask yourself these questions:
Do i like disco?
Do i like a little dance?
Do i like funk?
Do i love good music?
If the answer is YES then look no further. Definately something to turn up loud in the summer and have on whilst having a bbq :)
