Thanks fam...glad you liked it. I try to make hip hop a little more old schoolish, and jazzy! Real instruments as much as possible and not so much of the expected.

Every time I click play on one of your tracks I know a few things in advance:

1 - The track is going to sound like it was recorded in a studio.

2 - The mix will be perfect.

3 - The song will be spot on no matter what the genre.

4 - The song will be entertaining from start to finish.

You did not disappoint on this one. You nailed it. All it needed was James Brown or Maurice White jumping on board.

Well done, Ken. Absolute perfection.

Definitely sounds more funk than hip hop, but a great track by any other genre is still a great track. Makes me want to say groovy :-)

All The Best

Hey my man...SchmeeJible (we really should be on a first name basis by now,lol)..my first thought here is super solid,no gaps and it up,way up....it's interesting listening to music made by a professional DJ..you'd expect a really slick tight intro,total continuity throughout and that's exactly what's delivered..just like stepping off the curb,there's no time wasted or a honeymoon period where the song has to grow on you....the musical cab has pulled up and off you go...there's a vocalist somewhere that's going to excel on this groove,I just hope he or she can hook up with you...excellent joint (as the Hip Hop crowd say!)great production values and above all fun!...cheers Dave :)

yea, real funky, I like the way things are panned in this track. This track is tight but I get a spacious kind of feel from it. Like I would stroll into a bar in this could be groovin.

Nice

"throw away track" ...it never was! I think this track's a whole lot better than you think it is. It's such a great vibe. I love it! and as I've said before, it deserves more than 1.09 minutes, even if it's just splicing a loop in. Just as you're getting into a great groove, it's all over :(
Keep up the good work! ;)

Thanks Man! I added another minute or so, and put a guitar and another (ghostly) rhodes piano part in it. I think its done for the most part, but thanks for the support! Shipping it off to the publisher soon.

Man this has a very Fela Kuti + hip hop vibe to it. I love the horns, love the hand drums... but it does cut out... What gives? I'm faving this one, but in return you best load up a fixed version... My ONLY piece of advice would be the highhats... I think instead of a straight 8th note feel, if you gave it a shuffle feel it would totally open up the groove in totally different ways.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ykpwr8K3M4
Here's some Fela if you're not familiar with him.
Listen to the woodblock/highhat and how it has that really shuffled 8th note pattern... That's what I'm talkin about.

Great track either way!

Dude, how could I not hear that...right? This track was composed as a "throw away" without giving it any thought or merrit. Just a track for a department store sale ad kinda thing because of the upbeat perc.. Guess I was wrong and need to rethink this one. Some guys get offended when you tell them the track should do "this"... But I don't, because you HEAR that in my song and it's not actually there. But it's so obvious that your mind "put" it in there. That's how I compose and that's a real musician's way of thinking! Kudos my friend!

Description : I continue the hybrid procedure of creating music. This is a relatively recent song of mine that after the in DAW processing it was used as a prompt with certain guiding choices to AI machine. What was produced was di novo imported into the DAW to be blended with the original recording. It ended to a long music piece which I believe can be of interest to the listener. I hope you will enjoy this listen. I think Rocking Ambient describes well the genre.
