Feel The Sound - Diskonnect

Hey. very groovy track you've made here! Love the jammin sampling! Cool sounding instruments you chose. I'd have to agree with StaticNomad about the vocals, I guess they just sound a bit too wet in the reverb zone, and maybe to heavy on the high frequencies. The rest of the mix sounds really nice to me though! You've done a nice combination of styles in here, and it stays interesting. Well done!

the e piano lines grabbed my attention right away...sets up that nice soulful/funky groove to follow...enough variation to keep the ears attentive...its a smooth flowing mix Extraball...makes me want to get back at the recording with some of those vibes you have going in this one....enjoyed this one....proof that you can still do it even with limited time & sound options....well done...hope the world is treating you well over your side of the pond...(I mis-spent a couple of year of my youth in Glasgow (Brigton).....Ed

Cool track, very funky, I agree with putting it in the funk genre but there is a bit of an acid jazz feel to it as well. Loved the keys you used they all seemed to mesh well with each other and they changed as the track evolved. Well done, enjoyed the track!

a very funky number 'that moves along quite nicely'. Indeed. That's absolutely true: chill, groovy and relaxing... ! I must say again: I like the simplicity of your compositions and the work you did with all the loops here. The drums you using sound very nice and they are oldschool-styled with this reverbed snare. The keys are just great: from 1:48 you introduce some a little taste of improv. with background rhodes witch sounds cool... The vox loop sounds like on 80's funk/disco recordings. 2:36 - also nice change with 2 rhodes and bass guitar. The orchestral sounds (from 3:00) are maybe a bit too pompous and 'cinematic' in here and goes also too far from 80's funk groove sound image (for me) but still it is very smooth and nice merged together. I am enjoying it a lot!

I love this sound.

The opening really grabbed me, sounds great.

Lovely funk.

Nicely done....loving the Rhodes in this. You have this wonderful piece marked in the electronic genre but I agree with crucethus...it's more like funk. Still a great job though! ^___^

Greetings, Mr Extraball.

Some classic funky Rhodes (reminds me a lot of a Fun Lovin' Criminals track. Maybe Smoke Em?) and then a solid beat that is built upon at 0:36.

Everything sitting very tightly.

1:00 those vocals are awesome. Where are they from/who are they? Probably too much reverb on them but that's your choice.

1:48 clavichord change was needed then as the previous riffs had become a little monotonous.

Lots of funk in this.

2:37 beat gets subtler(it was just starting to get a bit boring) and there's some extra percussion in bongo/djembe form as well as some very cool bass guitar pops. Love that sound when it's done right.

Then a cool, big string sound, which continues in the background as those fine vocals return on 4:12.

Shame you didn't play any of this as I'd give you much higher marks if you had.

Overall, it's a well produced, tight and neat funky, cool groover and I don't have any additional production criticisms. Well chosen and arranged loops...

Me thinks this belongs in the funk category.. nice grooves though..
