Mr Funk - FreeRadical

17th Jan 2015 09:11 - 11 years ago
Description : This is my effort for Static Nomads thread "make a track in the style of another looper"
I chose Mr Funktastic because he's got so many cool loops. I just pinched one of his funky basslines and built around it. It's not as good as Joe does it but hey! It was fun to do something a little different from usual.

Mr funk you are indeed!
I listened to the first min and thought "this is very good FreeRad stuff" but the old funkster in me thought how cool it would be if the kick and the snare dropped hard...then it did at 1:20,wow!!
I shoulda known you would know what to do with this track.
I'm dealing with some health problems at the moment but I propose that in the near future some funky guitar riffs wouldn't hurt the track at all,which I would love to provide...with your permission of course.

Great track my friend.
Allen.

Hi MrRadical,
Good track! I know that we must credit a lot to the bass loop from MrF... this is soooooo funky.
But we cannot ignore the wonderful job you have done here: everything works very well and the resulting track is really a mixture of the genius of two good musicians.
Very well done!
Ciao, Domenico

PS: I really like the "moving synth" phrases you build (e.g. 4:02)

Any time I hear that MrFunktastic style I`m totally in the groove...The man is a big talent and a most generous friend with sharing the sound....I have to think Joe would like this one FR...its good ...some of those transitions are more like your own style (as it should be) but you def got the funk going on here...you just can`t sit still when this is going on...great job...and a fine tribute to one of our finest friends....Ed

That is cool you gave this a go and tried Joe's funk style mixed with an element of your influences. Some cool changes and breaks. Sound like some retro/disco funk-alicious dance music from the 80's. I would have to say your mission was accomplished, sounds like Free Funktastic music to me!

Thanks, I figured that sample was too good for me to be the only one using it. I'd be interested to hear your take on it.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your thoughts.

Wow, man. This IS funky! It's definitely not your style, and it's a good tribute to MrFunktastic. The whole time I listened I wondered if you were going to toss in some full on FreeRadical style. But you didn't. Just elements of your own style. I really liked this one, and the way you did it.

It's good to see that at least someone's already got a track in the game. Hopefully more will, too. This is exactly what that "game" is supposed to be.

Take care.

Thanks V.
I just took one of MR F's loops and built around it. I would have liked to have put some sort of funky solo over the top of it but alas i don't have any of those funky VST's that joe uses so it is what it is. I might try another one as it's fun to try and make stuff a little different. I just hope a few more people hop on "the game" (and i don't mean turn to prostitution)
Thanks for dropping by, listening and sharing your thoughts.

hi FR. bass groove is really cool here - it's something like a combination of a bass guitar and a clavinet. It makes my body moving which is great. Tasteful usage of loops as always!
Best, Alex

Nice work, I like the change of pace for you that this one brings. I like how you added in some of your dance floor circa 1990's vibe to this as well. great work

Yo funky funky.

Cool one for sure.
I realy start loving it when the funky spaceship starts (2:31)and all gets a trippy feeling of a flight to mars or elsewhere in universe. Maybe Shaft himself is on the way, with some of the cool brown sugar girls.

I like it :)

stay tuned

Thanks. Mr F made the bass loop and all i did was work round it so he set the scene for the track. All credit to Joe for uploading such a great loop.

Hey FreeRadical,
I think that you and Joe should collab! You are quite the funky musician! If you both made a funk track and worked harmoniously, it would be great!

Just a thought,
Rico L.

I guess it already is sort of a collab as the bassline was written by Mr F. I just had the job of "painting" round it and it was fun to do.
Cheers for dropping by Rico.

Description : Sorry to bombard with the same track. Here's the final version of the track I made using an Acapella from Looperman by JakeBuzzard. Now remasterd and with sub added plus scratches and more independent equalisation on drums / doubling up on a few instruments. I've also increased the volume on the samples used and the main vocals - as mentioned before, I'm deaf in 1 ear so struggle to get a good stereo mix, honest feedback is welcomed please

Description : A dark, melodic trap instrumental with a hypnotic bounce and a smooth, atmospheric feel. The production blends haunting melodies, deep 808s, crisp drums, and subtle textures that give the beat a cinematic edge. At **148 BPM**, it moves with a fast but controlled energy, leaving plenty of room for confident flows, catchy hooks, and melodic vocals.

Perfect for artists looking for a **dark trap, melodic rap, street rap, or moody R&B-inspired sound** with a modern feel.

Description : Hi everyone, I'm presenting you my new beat, where I tried to capture the raw emotions of recent events in my personal life. It's a unique fusion of a dark trap vibe, dirty analog textures, and solid boom-bap drum patterns, topped with a few distinct samples. One of them is a vintage movie quote from 'Psycho' (1960), and the other is a haunting female vocal loop from Looperman, which serves as the main chorus. Hope you feel the vibe.
TONE: F#M
TEMPO: 100 BPM
