I en uke har jeg følt at Crystal Fighters er de godeste (som i snille, greie og kule) guttene i gata, men så kom jeg i kontakt med Funkystepz og fant ut at de, om mulig, er enda bedre. De leverte en sinnsyk gjestemiks til programmet mitt i går, og jeg har allerede hørt den 15 ganger. Tipper du må høre den minst like mange ganger. Flaks at du kan laste den ned her, da. Men først: Funkystepz-gutta Maxsin, Renay & Stimpy rakk selvsagt ikke å svare på spørsmålene til forhåndsomtalen vår i tide, men (gode som de er) svarte de til slutt, og nedenfor kan du bli bedre kjent med godguttene (har ikke redigert svarene deres på noen som helst måte, for de er så fine. Selv typoene).

What’s typical for your music?

What alot different genres of music that I would say come into our music. So the typical Funkystepz music I would say is very tropical with little melodys, a bassline music & grime music bass with afro african drums. But alot times with mix those elements around. But you will most the time here the person saying “Funkystepz” in our songs.

Describe the perfect night out.

Perfect Night out is a rave down in England normally in London called Rinse vs Fwd done by the radio we are on down here called Rinse.

A perfect night out I would say is great music with many different genres of music being played, good dj that can mix, no violence, somebody doing something that makes everyone remember that night and everyone getting home safely. Hopefully 1 day we can get brought down to norway and we can see how a night out in norway is like.

Your mix is going to be played on national Norwegian radio, what do you think about that?

Its very big thing for us and a honor. We know Norway is a beautiful country with a wide taste in music and we are happy to get our music to be heard down there. And we want to thank you for the chance to do so and hopefully its a start to our relationship with Norway.

Where do you get your inspiration?

Everything is from life, family, friend, other producers, I would say are music style is a mix between Funky, House, Grime, Dancehall, Afro Beat, Bassline, Pop, Dance & R’n’B. 2 big inspirations our the fan we have and each other.

Husk at du kan sjekke ut Funkystepz på Rinse FM mellom 22.00 og 00.00 hver fredag. En siste opplysning fra guttene:

– From this mix you can expect the different sounds of Funkystepz. You can expect to want to get out and dance.
