What a funky munkey track. I hear djungel elements mixed with other electronic sub genres, to many to count them all. You mixed them really nice into an urban expression of raw energy. The intro is a smack in your face. I like how you confront your audience and showed them what this track gonna do with our. hearts. Break at 1:15 is a well balanced and freaky as hell, you let us rest in a restless mind. I want to hear more from you, this one is for rave under the bridgde.

That's what I like about it too, kinda in your face.

This is quite a piece of work man, every time I thought I had it pegged it shifted on me in terms of genre. This could go all sorts of ways. Very cool indeed.

Nice indeed; Definitely a funk fusion, it's nicely setup for a hip hop vocal as you mention. Acappelas section may have a good one :)

Wanted to add some clean rhythm guitar here and there but it's busy enough musically. Haven't looked thru the pellas yet.

Yes Wayne this is a banging track very funky but it's got an electronic edge, yes bro I was getting down to it, the industrial style can so easily be adapted I can pop lock and mime to this as well as funk itup to the chirpy parts
theHumps
theHumps replied 2nd Oct 2021 - 4 years ago
Thanks! Yeah, there's a lot of different sounds going on, many instances where it reminds you of some genre or style at that very moment. Just playing with some different sounds other than my acoustic.

Hola amigo Wayne, me gusta tu pista, es especial puede que tengas razón y sea una mezcla de funk pero con toques actuales, hasta con algún elemento ácido, al menos esa es mi sensación. El ritmo es muy poderoso igual que toda la percusión. Buena mezcla compañero. Paz y salud en el mundo.
theHumps
theHumps replied 1st Oct 2021 - 4 years ago
Thanks! The backbone is funk with a more modern, urban feel to it. Some latin styled percussion helps too.

Wassup, Wayne! What a Fun Tune! I have no idea what the chorus is singing, but it must be pretty happy!! This song's visual is a group of folk drinking and dancing bare foot outside in some dirt road town, just as dusk sweeps over. AWESOME!

LovePeace&Light,

I have no idea if they are singing actual words or just phonetically spoken sounds or chants. Hopefully it's all good, ha!

Thanks!

Really nice warm and up cheering beat. i like the mimalistic use of guitar and counter guitar. This Tone is raw and fits perfect with the african chant. I feel a lot better after i hear this tune. thank you for your work. An artist from our community wrote me today for a collab he is from africa, no name dropping. i think he should put some vocals on it. If you read this it´s maybe your beat?

theHumps replied 1st Oct 2021 - 4 years ago
Thanks! Tried purposely to make a couple simple guitar bits(loops) that would repeat thru the song and not fill up all the space in the track.

wayne! man, does this come together! it dances past like a dream, and all you know is you got possessed for 2 mins. really, all the elements are so well placed the whole is nearly subliminal— example, the low voice in the last few bars. fabulous stuff!

theHumps replied 29th Sep 2021 - 5 years ago

I'm surprised how those low vox came thru the mix, thought they would get lost.

Happy times Wayne, this definitely made me smile. It lilts and lurches along nicely. Some nice bass in there and the horns and those lovely rich voice all mesh in together amazing well.

What a groove this track has, it's awesomely done. The horns really stand out nicely & the vocals are sitting pretty on the track & add an interesting twist. Very creative indeed. This whole production stands out! beautifully. AMAZING! work on this one, fast becoming a fan of your work glad I stopped by. Bravo!

Tried to keep everything basic, simple. I really like the horns too.

Bonito tema amigo Wayne, me encanta como suenan esas voces africanas, le dan un aire alegre, simpático incluso divertido. Gran bajo, muy agradable igual que las guitarras, muy profesionales. Una pista de mucha calidad y una gran mezcla. Que tengas una buena noche compañero, y paz y salud para todos.

Thanks! I had about 30 or more vocal snippets to choose from, wanted to keep the phrasing simple and the guitar even more simple.

Shockingly kool Wayne. You definitely got the vocals for this one. Your song is like something from a movie or tv show tune. You did not hold back in the least bit. This is not weird, because it has a purpose. It is a fun-ny song. Well done.

Tried to make the music sound like it wasn't in any particular key, monotone/bland bass sounds and abstract industrial noises. My mom said it sounded like it should be on tv as well so cinematic in some way.

Nice one, Wayne! It's been a while since I heard a song from you. The intro was very fascinating. I loved the experimentation with loops in this track. I don't know why but I got super Halloween vibes from this one, almost a nightmare before Christmas sort of thing. That works perfectly since Halloween is right around the corner. Your voice never disappoints and I was happy to hear it once again. As usual, great track. Adding to my favs.
theHumps
theHumps replied 21st Sep 2021 - 5 years ago
A Nightmare Before Xmas, I liked that movie a lot, cool reference!

I usually don't use loops, as a practice, as the main foundation of my tracks so when I do it's a lot of fun experimenting with sounds and effects I normally don't use.

Thanks!

But where they gonna run to?! One out of the box from you Wayne, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Drums were great and the little breakdowns were cool to spice things up. That telephone sound reminded me of one I used a while back in my reggae tune. It sets the ambience really well. All over noone home. Felt like this could almost have had some down and dirty electric guitar hitting those down beats maybe.
theHumps
theHumps replied 18th Sep 2021 - 5 years ago
I'm gonna use poetic license to answer your question. They just ran away. ;)

Jeff Lynne used a ringing telephone loop in Telephone Line and I remember hearing it in another song(Beatle's song maybe).

Just playing with loops and effects. I thought of elec git but was still sore in the back, just started sitting up in front of a computer actually when I did this.

Thanks!

Pretty atmospheric track. A real spectrum behind the vocals opening the mind to all the sounds happening in the background and the reasoning for them. Great track full of innovation and risk. Score !
theHumps
theHumps replied 18th Sep 2021 - 5 years ago
Thanks Bill!

Just playing with some sounds and effects that don't get much attention from me. Some great stuff in these daws if you spend some time listening and trying to process/manipulate them to get a desired effect. Sure different than plugging in a git and ripping out a track in a minute or two.

Hi TheHumps, this is nice, really smooth; really great use of the drum loops, really good selection and variety. It actually didn't feel at all weird (genre). It's smooth, I thought of triphop as I was listening. The only element that didn't really fit (to me) was the vocals; I felt like the drums were driving the vocals rather than helping it, and vice versa. It doesn't feel it has a theme. Thanks for sharing. Hope your back isn't something too serious and you're better.
theHumps
theHumps replied 18th Sep 2021 - 5 years ago
Thanks! Life long back prob that flairs up occasionally, I'll live. :)

I guess without the vocals there isn't much of a story. The effects on them were there to help set the atmosphere and overall feel of the track. Appreciate the feedback!

That wasnt what I was expecting from what Ive heard from you before but it's wonderful and I do recognise some of what I have already loved in your work. This is a little more alt. but still very rich, creative, engaging, and rich in rhythm and melody. Great stuff : )
