NuGroove Featuring BaoBou Reimagined - Kingmt77

Hey Modnex! Thanks for stopping by and checking the track. Play Loud? Yep LOL! Im glad you enjoyed what you heard.

Mark

LillzziOG! Thank you ! I'm glad this hit just right for you.

Mark

Greetings Jared! I rock with THE SQUADD/THE LOOSERZ CLUB! Lovin the energy you guys bring! The fact you enjoyed what you heard is no small matter with me. I truly appreciate the stop and feedback. Also the high accolades you gave for my comment to Richard is HEAVYWEIGHT!

Peace,

Mark

Greetings Richard! Thank you for stopping by and sharing your impressions and compliments. I would beg to differ with you on not being able to "pull something off this refined and classy".

I had been on a long musical hiatus, like really long. Basically listening to the music of others but not doing any music of my own. I had foot surgery and recovery. You know "He makes me to lie down in green pastures". That's when the music became ALIVE again. So I would set aside time and started with my laptop and a MPK Mini with some loops and jumped in.

Practice is key. But most important keep ego out, and learn as much as you can from others. Ego will short circuit creativity. Ego will shine brightly but only for a brief moment. The musical gift we've been given when handled correctly and presented properly will shine brighter and longer. Heads up, There's a new sound being released. I sense it. Find your own sound within the new sound. Seek diligently for it, IT'S There. I wish I had time to go further on the subject. Long story short YOU CAN DO THIS AND MORE RICHARD!

Peace,

Mark

Yep Cosmo is def in the building! Stuck at Greyhound? I gotta hear that story LOL. That area is way off the chain! Ive got a niece in Hebron KY! You swinging back through is appreciated big time. Im glad this one is still spinning on the ol mental tape recorder lol!

Peace,

Mark

Cosmo! The Man with the master plan! Its a great thing for your stop and critique. Its good for the doggies too LOL! Youve been busy? Me too. I see you uploaded some saxodelicious! I gotta check it out in a bit. TTYL.

Peace,

Mark

I'm from the Chicago area. North of the Chicago Loop is a neighborhood called Lincoln Park. There was a club like a cave in the basement of an office building called The Jazz Bulls. The acoustics and the "In Yo Face" vibe was sensory overload! That's where I got this feeling from. I have never forgot that feeling. So your comment made me feel some type of way! Gratitude for the interest.

Mark

If The Squadd approves, WHAT MORE CAN I ASK? LOL! I'm beyond happy you enjoyed what you heard. Let's keep the good music flowing!

Peace,

Mark

Greetings juankar. So what's amazing is that we can create the sounds we want when we want to. To have that ability speaks volumes. And to be able to hone our sounds and shape them anyway we want is an extra plus. All it takes is some time and patience. And Never Never Never let anyone tell you "YOU CAN'T DO THIS"! NEVER! Thanks for the time taken and feedback.
P.S. That's my fave section too!.

Peace,

Mark

Aaron! Thanks. This work with BaoBou was the sum total of the power of the collab! Bouncing ideas kinda like THE SQUADD! Its good to know what happened here hit right. I appreciate your musical perspective big time.

Mark

Top of the day fanisatt. Im glad you got the chance to check this one out. Ive done a few tweaks so to bring it back to the fresh zone. And believe it or not Im feeling a surge of nu funk! Stay tuned! You might need some air freshener LOL!

Peace,

Mark

TrippleN97! Thanks for the compliments, time spent, and sharing just how this one translated. I'm repeating myself...............THIS IS TOO MUCH FUN!

Mark

Thanks Dan. It's good to know my effort here proved to be an worthwhile listen. Thanks for sharing your opinion.

Mark

Hey Anthony! Thank you for the stop, listen and huge compliments. Its really big you throughly enjoyed what you heard. Have an awesome and safe weekend.

Mark

Mykael ok youre gonna need some Icy Hot! LOL! You know better! Thank so much for swinging back through and sharing your impressions. Its good this listen was just as good as the first one. Peace.

Mark

YOD ! Your stop made my day. I was about to send the hounds after you LOL! I trust all is well with you. So my sentiments on your JB and Maceo comment is this. IN ORDER TO PLAY THIS KINDA FUNK, WE GOTTA GET OL SKOOLED IN JB OLOGY! Thank for your reaction and fave! We must get caught up my friend! Peace.

Mark

Thanks for stopping though Verdi. Its great this one peaked your interest and the listen was an enjoyable one. You have a good one too! Peace.

Mark

Right Right but before your release you should shoot your video and have the prisoners sing back up then when you hit them and the guards with the warden with all that sultryness. The prisoners will become productive citizens the prison bars will melt and then and only then you are free to go haha LOL! You feel me? Be Blessed my friend.

Mark

Ok Lady Shaft! Go ahead and GET DOWN! I C U! And yes you can use this as your theme soundtrack LOL! Now on to another topic Yep about DRUNK! You need to be arrested and thrown under the jail for all that sultryness on your vocals! You know youre so wrong for that! Top notch talent and performance from you my friend! Keep it up. Be safe.

Mark

Hey Rick! It’s huge having a fellow funkster stop by. You smiled? My mission is complete! The compliments are over the top. Let’s keep it going. Peace.

Mark

Thank you, 2nick8 for stopping through. The compliments and reaction you gave are greatly appreciated. We've got that funk in common buddy! Peace.

Mark

JohnSmokey. It's good you stopped by. So I'll tell you The Oceans reference is a big compliment. I just listened to "NYC Larceny" from Oceans 8. I get what you mean. Thanks for sharing your perspective. Peace.

Mark

BaoBou!!!!! Really? HAHA, gimme a truckload of those "NOODLES" anytime my friend! Your contribution here set this one just right. You caught that beat shift move, huh? Yep, on the beat or off the beat I don't care, just as long as it's funkier! I did the same with the bass too, BTW. Peace.

Mark

eigenaar, I appreciate the stop and feedback. It's good you fully enjoyed what you heard. Peace.

Mark

Bill. It’s always big when you stop through. You, just like me……….. share the same thoughts on the element of surprise. And that is the life and excitement of what we do. Thanks for the time you’ve taken to share your thoughts. Your compliments are received humbly. Peace

Mark

bringer, thanks for stopping by and sharing your observations and fave. BaoBou's solo was the missing link, and it's good you enjoyed his work. Now, what you call "sparse" I call "texture". Every textured moment was intentional and the setup for the next soloist. We have to remember that "less is more" is a strategy, especially in funk. My belief is that we are never really finished at this phase of what we are doing musically. Our ability to hear and express what we do musically should increase daily and only over time we get closer to perfection. Why? We all have our own definition of what true perfection is really all about. TTYL

Mark

Kirkoid, what's up with you? I'm glad for the stop through. Thanks for sharing your appreciation for this one. Take it easy, and I'll catch you on the next go around.

Mark

Cam, thanks for stopping through. It is good to know that all is well with you. Seriously, the funk is impossible to shake. Also, sharing your perspective is just the type of feedback I need to continually hone my skills. The compliments are appreciated big time.

Mark

2nickB. What's up? I'm happy you got the chance to hear my latest creation and give your opinion. I uploaded every phase of the process, 8 in total trying out different ideas, editing, etc. Furthermore, I'm pleased with how this turned out, as I was able to take everything I've learned over time and apply it here. Be safe.

Mark

DANG! xstokes it's like that? Sun Ra? Ok, that's way, way up there! But really, there's absolutely no limit to what we can do musically. If we're willing to learn and apply those lessons, we can achieve what we could only dream about a short while ago. THX, much for the thumbs up and fave. Go ahead and have that awesome weekend, and I'll catch you on the next go round.

Mark

Mykael, first off it’s been a minute and it’s good you stopped through. Your critique hit pretty much everything I was attempting to say. James Brown’s music has permanently effected me. PERMANENTLY! From his arranging chops to mastering that “On The 1” groove and everything in between. I’m with you on horn arrangements. There’s nothing like that sound . I’m happy this hit right. Thanks for sharing everything you enjoyed here. Be safe and stay cool.

Mark

Hey RitaJustBouncyRita! So if I’m hearing you correctly, this was a “Top of the morning caffeine hit FUNK”. I’m glad you got your day kicked off just right with this one. I concentrated on creativity by jacking that nostalgic JB swag. That section you mentioned with the Rhodes and sax I swapped with The Jimi Hendrix flavored solo, so we could chill after that outrageous synth solo. The feedback and compliments are extremely valuable. The fave is received graciously. As always, be safe and have an peaceful and enjoyable weekend my friend.

Mark

Paul Thx. Every track is a learning experience for me. Some of the changes were subtle but this was a big achievement in every aspect. I appreciate you taking out the time for another listen. Your feedback is extremely helpful for sure. Be safe.

Mark

Ruslan. Thanks for the stop and encouraging compliments. I just updated, and you might want to check the changes.

Mark

What’s up Ian? Thanks for stopping through. So the high point for me here was achieving that proper low mid range and upper low range sweet spot. Example, my kick beater makes a slight click when it comes in contact with the drum head. That nuance put me in my happy place. Anyway I appreciate your encouraging comments and fave. Have a great rest of your week and stay safe.

Mark

Thanks Kirkoid. I appreciate you stopping through and sharing your thoughts. Yep, be sure to stay tuned for the next update.

Mark

secondnature1. Correct! As a matter of fact, It's James fault that I do this type of stuff, LOL! So now someone has to fill in for him here. I greatly appreciate the feedback. Have a peaceful week and stay safe.

Mark

Hello tunmi13. Your stop and feedback is so encouraging! I'm happy to bring a groove you can enjoy. Have a great week and stay safe.

Mark

Rob! Yup! If our brother dimestop can do pop, you better believe I'm doing lo-fi! At least a few bars worth, LOL:). Nasty drums? Absolutely! Remember, I started playing Mama's pots and pans on the kitchen floor. Thanks for your continued support. It means a lot. TTYL

Cru, music is one of life's simple pleasures that causes us
to fall in love with it over and over again. I'm thankful every time you stop by and share your thoughts. Everything you heard is what I intended to convey. I'm glad you enjoyed the listen. Be safe.

Mark

Yo BaoBou, I've been working on this one for a couple of days and just yesterday I finally locked the groove in. I'm gonna work on the syncopation a little more. And yep, if you want to drop your fire guitar on this, I'll fire Jimi and give the spot to you. Thank you for your time and comments, We're having way too much fun :)! Be safe.

Mark

Paul, I appreciate the stop and listen. It is good this groove resonated with you to the degree you gave it a fave. It's far from done. I got more funk to inject into it. A little adding here and trimming there, then we'll be finished. P.S. I'm serious...... Dem contract boys coming straight for you. Your tracks keep a smile on my face. Have a great evening and stay safe.
