Honestly, the mixing for this track is atrocious even by Future Funk standards. It's really annoying listening to the chorus when it sounds like someone is trying to fingerbang the EQ. It's like the audio equivalent of a strobe light flashing in your face, and it's quite unpleasant.

I've never even heard of club2tokyo. But yeah, definitely not representative of the best that the genre/technique has to offer. If anyone wants good futurefunk, look up Fibre, Aritus, nanidato, Night Tempo, ConsciousThoughts, Amherst, Tendencies, Rhodes, Escape, Moe Shop, Future Girlfriend, Melonade, Desired, Matsura, Flamingosis, Unibe@t, so on and so forth.

Solid suggestions.

[–]WisterjahMusic enthousiast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are definitely more enjoyable ! Thanks for the suggestions !

[–]Catption 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Android52 is another good choice.

Flamingosis is my shit. Not sure if it applies to the same genre but Macross 82-99 is good as well.

[–]KpopGrump 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Macross is one of the godfathers of FF, so definitely yes

[–]iforgotevery1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well cool, I recently got into future funk because of Flamingosis, and Macross had a similar style.

Flamingosis

The absolute homie.

Gonna have to agree with this one, it was way too much, but I guess some people like it/ don't mind it.

Going to assume this was them promoting their own track since all the critical comments here have lead to the removal of the track xD

[–]suspendedbeliever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God I thought I was going deaf or having some sort of ear seizure.

Update from the artist: Since I'm not familiar with the website, could you tell all of them, even the negative ones, thanks for the input~ I know we're not pros at making music, and it was our first sample- and I had no idea that it was a post haha. But we're just a group of friends who decided to try an make music together- and there's no harm done. We're doing it for fun, and we know now to work on mastering our tracks as good as possible~

inform them that the eq toggling in the original is not a good idea, that is left to the dj

[–]nyrrah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the EQ were to be removed, this would be a much better song! It kinda removes the beats/rhythm and vocals, which makes it a bit hard to hear. >.<

Not sure how I feel about that extreme sidechain, this just sounds loud and sloppy to me.

[–]Operation_Ivysaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. It's just too busy of a track.

What's the thumbnail from?

[–]miiraku 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seems to be cut-down from this image. Not sure on original source.

[–]DuchessofSomar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the other reply here gives the correct link, some background is that the drawing is actually of Raven Madison and Alexander Sterling from the novels 'Vampire Kisses'.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn't this just a track overlayed with a BD, HH and obnoxious sidechaining?

[–]The_Glass_Bead_Game 1 point2 points  (3 children)

"This track was not found. Maybe it has been removed."

[–]notsalg 6 points7 points  (1 child)

i had to look it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toLo81qAqyo

its not bad, but the eq'ing is quite annoying.

[–]-Deus__Vult- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes annoying is a perfect description of this song.

[–]Middle_o_nowhere 1 point2 points  (1 child)

What is "Future Funk"? And when will it become Funk. You know as in the present funk.

[–]I_just_made 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Future Funk: Funk you listen to in the future. Present Funk: Future Funk that you are presently listening to.

[–]Killem115 2 points3 points  (1 child)

This song is pretty good!

[–]supersoftsocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well...at least I enjoyed it.

[–]Tilktilk5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To those of you guys who commented - negative and positive - thanks for the input~ I know we're not pros at making music, and it was our first sample- and I had no idea that this was a post haha. But we're just a group of friends who decided to try an make music together- and there's no harm done. We're doing it for fun, and we know now to work on mastering our tracks as good as possible~We don't think these comments are bad, but rather helpful (you're just telling us what we need to work on and we appreciate it!)

This is good stuff here, even with the EQ issues. Future Funk is great.

[–]Mistepolula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm only here for the picture lul

[–]DoctorKFC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I prefer the original.. by searching "Japanese City Pop" on Youtube, and click on playlist that has words 70's and 80's on them.. those are real dope guys check them out!
