I like this track a lot! Being a sax player I don't hear enough new tracks with nice clean instruments. Especially saxophones without sounding cheesy or cliche. The mix sounds good to me. I'm a sucker for funk so I love it! Keep Doin' It!

I really like the saxophone's sound a lot. This is a real jam track. It sounds like from Superfly's time zone. Incidentally you make awesome loops and I have used a few. Thanks for sharig your talent with those of us not fortunate to have any. Vic

on The Mother of New Funk by SLAPJOHNSON
it was at a faster tempo than I'd expected.. very joyus feeling funk. So, is that Alexander playing after that scratch and drop at 1:12? it's Impressively funky. I really was grinning the whole time. On the tech end I couldn't hear a single thing out of place, out of phase, too loud or too quiet.

still grinning,

The horn stabs are super tight and some great tones you both have going on in the solo's. My only comment like others have already said might be about nudging the bass up a touch.

Hi Jamie, I've now pushed up the bass and it sounds a lot better for it. Thanks for dropping by and lending your support.

Hey Slap

on The Mother of New Funk by SLAPJOHNSON
Hey mate...if the horns were any crisper you'd have to put them in a plastic bag and market them!(SaxoCrisps/salt&vinegar flavour lol)...man I love this groove,the chord structure is so thick..the way you stack the stabs is unreal and you swing it with that baritone on the bars...every time I hear that beast it just hits your mid section.......There's one thing that surprises me,how did you ever get out of America?..if the pundits in Detroit,Chicago or wherever the hell the heart of Funk resides over there had of heard this,they would have chained you to a recording studio's door or made you George Clinton's right hand man!......Fuuuuuuunky stuff Men!..cheers Dave

SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Hi Dave, Horn crisps! I'm liking that idea... Maybe next year we could sell those to the people watching us at the Fringe lol...
I'm glad you're feeling the funkyness... The baritone is a great honk to add to a track, that rich bottom end always helps to beef up the sectionals. I think the bass needs to be up in the mix and a few have said which confirms it. I think a little more mix tweaks here and there are on the cards, but nothing heavy. George Clinton is one of the most groovy dudes on the planet, working for him would be an awesome dream come true..

Cheers, Slap...

on The Mother of New Funk by SLAPJOHNSON
Honestly, I'd like to hear that bass brought forward a bit, but that's my aesthetic (hey, you asked!).

A father and son collaboration...how cool is that? I dream of the day my daughters sit down to do some recording with me. Meanwhile, I do the elementary school drum club with my 12 year old weekly. Live jam, yeah it is the best!

This is happening Slap. It "feels" like a totally dialed in live set. And honestly, what can really be better than that?

Added to my list of favorites. Thanks for that!
SLAPJOHNSON
SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Hi N0mad, I have to agree about the bass now it's been mentioned twice. Sitting on top of the song can be a hard place to hear those slight changes which make the thing really groove right. Drum club sounds like a great fun activity for all involved. I thank you for reviewing first and helping this track reach it's full sonic value.

Cheers, Slap...

This reminds me of seventies TV detective music (Lalo Schiffrin etc). Tastefully done and with nice production chops!

Hi Spiv, great point you brought to the table. I sometimes get too wrapped up in the instruments and forget how important the vocal production should be... I still have a bit of work on this one yet me thinks...

Great intro! The guitar stands out as being really special on this track! Those horns are groovy too! The vocals sound excellent, and I think some female backup vocals would be awesome! I can't find anything to criticize about this song. It rules!
SLAPJOHNSON
SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Hi Spiv, the sax on the intro will be changed to Alexander at some point soon. I'm glad you like the guitar! I have a real passion for this instrument and love playing it. I can get pretty frustrated when I can hear what I want to play in my head but my technical abilities on guitar fail me! This female backing vocal issue has been mentioned twice now. I think I need to look into adding these but the operation is quite lengthy lol... Thank you for your honest supportive review.
Cheers, Slap...

I am always eager to hear the opening bars of music, when I find one of your downloads. As usual, I'm not disappointed with your performance. The set is very consistent for me, although I remain a layman in this style of music ....
