Description : Fusion using Bhangra (Punjabi) instruments with the Reggaeton pellas of ThaSuspect1 and MrDoll with loops from different sources. This kind of works but true Bhangra aficionados would not call it Bhangra. Recut 3-4. Comments welcome.

If you have time take a listen and give clindsay some feedback.
Well, I've checked it out again and noticed a few more things.
0:56 I quite like how we lose the heavy bass there for a minute or so.
1:43 percussion break is cool. You're dropping things in and out nicely.
Please check out MJ's The Way You Make Me Feel as that ending still reminds me of its main riff. I think that might be a harmonium playing but I'm not sure.
Good stuff though I'm not sure I noticed any changes - just more than I did last time.
2:14 it moves into something more like dubstep so that's another genre thrown into the cool but unusual mix. It just kind of passes through the song there rather than taking over and becoming that whole genre.
Thanks - listened to MJ - I hear what you are referring to. Sure wish I had his producer. The instrument in my piece is an accordion modified somewhat to sound Bhangralike.
This wasn't a radical recut - just removed the dhol drums at the intro and tightened some of the background percussion.
Thanks for all you kind comments.

It's really refreshing to hear something completely different here on Looperman. I would never think of combining Indian and rasta music, so this sounds really interesting and enjoyable...more than good job!:)
Hi again. I'm not very familiar with bhangra and don't hear a lot of it about. I do love the rythms though. It certainly does incorporate hip-hop, dance and pop.
I'd like to try making some of it and it would probably fit nicely with some of my eastern, psychedelic blues. Perhaps I just have to figure out some of the rythms and drum programming. Or just use drum loops. I have some decent dancehall MIDI drum files so maybe I'll get round to fusing those dancehall grooves with some eastern guitar parts and then maybe start adding tablas and udu. That would be a good start to mixing things up as you've done here.
" Presumably it would be played by a Hindi Rasta band, no?"
Actually, that was a little bit of a joke and, now I think about it, I don't think rastas do play much reggaeton though I may well be wrong. I guess they're more into dub and reggae. I do some dub and reggae though not so much. My latest upload is partly dub (Opposable Thumbs) and there's a 2 min reggae intro to my track Things That Should Always Be.
Anyway, good work again, and I'll look out for your next one.
Hi yourself again - I've recut this- if you get a chance please give it a listen - I think it is a little tighter.
Also, if you are interested in Bhangra - the link below has a spotify url with a few selections. Of course it will expose me as a fraud but you'll get an idea of the breadth of the genre. http://open.spotify.com/user/climetree/playlist/18cxFWngxZCCaNhexveNLY
I`m not well informed on Bangra clindsay but gotta say that this kind of mix really is effective in developing that driving rhythm/beat mix that gets the body parts moving...very creative stuff....I have used a lot of ethnic instruments in my mixes over the years but have yet to come across samples on the Indian instruments that I`ve been able to include...great job on this one...and its great to be able to listen here on the Loop to this kind of music...I for one, would like to hear a lot mor ethnic influenced tracks....keep on...Ed
Interesting stuff. I don't now why I've never heard bhangra and reggae(ton) merged together before. Sort of sounds an obvious fit when listening to this.
Presumably it would be played by a Hindi Rasta band, no?
1:10 trippy, hypnotic lead is cool, as well as the funky subtle lead after that.
1:28 bass break is cool. Nice to have that space there after all the busyness.
Good vocals you have here.
Are you playing anything at all on this or is just a mix of different loops?
Good work and I like that final, delayed ending. Some of that final part reminds me of the coolest and catchiest synth on Michael Jackson's all-time unbelievable classic The Way You Make Me Feel. I think it's playing something very similar.
Thanks - I agree that reggae is a natural for this genre especially at lower bpms. Bhangra as a genre is all over the map and incorporates hip-hop, dance and pop. It's one of those that went to UK and then back and then back again.It would be played by a Bhangra/Punjabi band.
This is just different loops - mix of dance/house and Bhangra. At some point I'll start doing my own loops but for now I'm content arranging others.
Again, thanks for taking time to listen and provide analysis - I really appreciate it.

It certainly does it for me, love the gentle start, then into the thumping drums and chants. bridges and transitions were spot on too. Great work Clindsay.
Clindsay I don'T know if U may have any Indian root or noT , buT if noT , U're amazinglY tallented about Indian musiX .
and I vote this one as your best traX between 4-5 traX I've heared from U and all have been this type of indian fusion .
altration @2'10'' + variational theme @ 3'07'' both were nice considered & adorable bridges.all the best.___B

==============
Inspired by a track of Pseudoble. I was noodling along to his track "I wish I didn't know" (which is awesome) and had the words "Snow in Athens" in my head. This with the smooth jazz/fusion atmosphere led me to this track with a sort of Steely Dan feel.
Description : This track is built around the repetitive lead guitar line which I have previously incorporated as an intro for the rocker track "Sweetheart Runner" by LM user TinyFinger whom I have helped in arranging, mixing and producing his song. This extended session was a good oportunity to test some new equipment....Thanks to Tiny for not being mad about it...:)^^
Description : Psychedelic blues hip hop with lead banjo and acoustic resonator slide guitar. Acoustic drum kits, fat basslines, soaring filtered strings, some strong Eastern elements (from guitar and strings), some dub and funk from the bass and drums and a bit of rocking electric guitar. Very unusual piece of music and a trip like no other I've heard. Some of it is like a dark, deep Southern delta blues track over a hip hop and dub backing. All played and programmed by me, no loops used.
After a quite turbulent long travel we’ve reached a totally unknown planet which is mostly covered with clouds. As we pass over it we can see parts of rivers through the clouds that come out of the dark rocky surface in some places. So the whole scene is alternating textures of white, dark gray and silver flashes. Unfortunately there’s no chance to land anywhere so we just pass, wonder and travel on …
Description : I had to go in on this track. This is a future bass, electrofusion song. I posted the full version here full the Looperfam because you guys give me sooooo much support. I can never thank you all enough.
Description : A spoopy song, early for Halloween. This was a collaboration with Micky, who did most of the work.
A musical realization of a poem by Thomas Hardy
Idea: Spearcarrier
Voices: Spearcarrier & Micky
Music: Micky
Genre: We don't know yet. Suggestions welcome. LOL
Description : Messing around with my midi keyboard (I am no pianist as you will hear). Just a bunch ideas put together with guitar and keys. Don't miss the end :-) it shows the obvious lack of inspiration to find a decent ending of the so called musician! This track is work in progress all ideas are welcome!

3:05 big vocal cry out is powerful.

Thanks for all you kind comments.
