BUMBA - Planetjazzbass

Description : So much of the music I like has it's roots emanating from Africa, this track may be so far removed from their traditional style of music to be foreign but I'd like to think I'm connecting to those roots in some way.

Having african heritage(Mozambique and South Africa)to be more specific,this somehow connects with me in a deeper level.
Great,great musicianship and programming.
Having been a follower of the Rebel Soundclash radio show(2 folks out of Belgium)that broadcast some of the really hard to get "underground"african music,this song really reminds of it.
And to think this is all work of one man.
Great work Planet.
May i ask,where you got the amazing acapella please?

Hi Nelson...thanks for your great review mate very much appreciated! I'm heartened to hear that I made some connection to the underground modern music of Africa, it is after all the font where all music sprung from and especially for the roots of Jazz and most contemporary styles. Those vocals are part of a Kontakt instrument "Ethno World 5 Voices and Choirs" by Native Instruments and are listed as coming from Cameroon, it contains some amazing samples and I'll be using more in upcoming tracks for sure, your review really made my day man! thank you again..cheers Dave :)

Added to my favorites very easily. You always manage such clarity with your productions. When the track started I found myself walking through an African market place or village lol.
A great track that really resonated with me.

Belated Birthday Greetings!

Hey Elaine..Wow I'd nearly given up on you resurfacing on the Loop, you made my day! not for my birthday though I don't bother with those anymore seeing I'm getting way too old! haha but thank you for the sentiment anyway, I know you just had one so right back atcha, one of these days I might convince you of doing some spoken word for me, I have a poem better than Two Worlds which I've been sitting on for some time......one can but hope.... all the best Dave :)

I love this!
Love the way the rather alien guitar appears and fits so well.
I could have handled a couple of more minutes of this easily.
Totally pro sound.

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it, I would have extended the track with more vocal samples but I only had a certain amount in that key so I didn't want to be too repetitive, though I should have extended the flute solo!...ah well, short and sweet I guess..next time i'll stick to a longer format...cheers mate

Great track here, Planet! I love all of the sound choices used here. This track definitely gives off that African origin sound. The mix is done very well and the vocals sit perfectly in the mix. The flute sound that came in around 2:38 was great. Did you use a real flute? Overall, this was done very well!

Keep up the great work, fav.

Hey thanks Mod, glad you enjoyed the tune! The flute was a midi played Vst (pinkillu bamboo flute) which I thought fitted in quite well, I was originally envisioning some more traditional African instruments like the Kora (21 stringed harp) but unfortunately I have no access to one of those, and I couldn't play it anyway! lol...cheers mate Dave :)

Description : For some odd reason, the titular acapella I used for this remix had vanished from Looperman. Luckily, I saved it before it disappeared.

Anyway, props to Stephanie Kay for this acapella! I've always wanted to remix Stars Collide, but I never got around to finally making a good instrumental for it. The acapella was akin to that of Genki Rockets' work (ESPECIALLY the lyrics), so I tried to retain the same vibe. Enjoy!

Description : This is a worship song celebrating God's beautiful creation, unfailing grace, and boundless love. It reflects on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the gift of salvation, and the light of God that shines even in the deepest darkness. It is a reminder to rise each day with gratitude and give praise to the One who saves, guides, and sustains us.
