Funky Junky – Rudeboy

Here’s another ragga influenced track ala the Echo Minott one posted recently, though this is more of a proper 92 hardcore one. Just deep bass, a breakbeat, a kick drum, and some all-too-familiar ragga vocals…but all working perfectly together. It’s funny because tracks like this would have held very little appeal for me when I initially got into digging for 91-95 stuff, as I was always looking for the most maximal / crazy / chopped up tracks I can find. Years of listening though have definitely opened plenty of room for for sparser, more vibey tracks like this one…

Funky Junky did quite a few other releases on his label, all pretty solid (if not blow-your-brains-out amazing) stuff. Yardie “No Cocaine” is a favorite of mine, though people might know his Sonz-of-a-loop-da-loop sampling Rushing EP a bit better.
