Grinning In Your Face - DjoeGio

4th May 2014 16:29 - 12 years ago
Description : 'Grinnin' In Your Face' is my second track featuring the voice of Son House (1902-1988). Just as 'John The Revelator' this re-mix was inspired by watching the rockumentary 'It Might Get Loud' with Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White. The pivotal moment comes when Jack White plays his favorite a capella track by Son House (www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTlSka5iqPY). This made a big impression on me. I wondered how House's incredible voice would sound when transposed to a housebeat. Thus unusual combo of two genres (blues/gospel and house) worked out fine, I think, in 'John The Revelator'. For the new track I sought a hard edge approach. Instead of the lyrical sax by STAX, I used electric guitars for solo and rythmic elements, going for the very rough sound Jack White demonstrates in the rockumentary by playing, slightly out of key, one-string slide-guitar. 'Grinnin' In Your Face' is part of a Son House Project I'm working on, paying hommage to the old blues in a new musical environment.

Hey my friend, great track. As you are possibly aware Looperman & Loop Radio are trying to arrange a day of Looperman celebrations on the 31st May. I am hoping to do a 2 hour show featuring Dance music from Looperman artists & would also like to feature Looperman tracks in my regular show. As this is available for download (thanx for sharing)I hope you will be OK with me airing it on the day or on another show?
Thanx.
Peace, Love, Justice & Respect.

hey i really like this song but i think you should use a harder hitting kick and make the bass louder and add a louder sub :)

Thnx. Not sure about the deep basses,usually they irritate me, especially during concerts. But I'll play with the idea!

Hi Djoegio!
This is really over my horizon, but it sounds very elegant and clubby.
The intro is AWESOME! Also the outro, totally loving the fast piano.

A masterful piece. But your tunes always are so I'm not surprised.

Take care!

Hi, Seriously. Thnx for responding.Glad u liked it. Why 'over the horizon'? Because of the genre (house)? Let's work together soon!

It's a shame I don't have that much time time to make music at this point. This track was crushed in just a few hours, so if it sounds unfinished that's why.
Free to use.
