Hey Cru, definitely diggin this this track, its an awesome club mix for sure. I will download and try to get it in the hands of some friends who DJ at some of the most happing clubs here in "Big D". Cant wait to hear it crankin at the Lizard Lounge!
I would be diggin this one no matter what genre you said it was my friend...I`m a fan of a bit of panning (I more often use m-s processing) on some of the percussion parts...like those funky guitar bits back there and the horns...Having played the ol bass for a few years my ear always catches effective bass lines like this...thoughtful composing and arranging going on with the breaks, changeups...Oh I just his that piano bit...freeking awesome...lots going on but doesn`t really feel that way as the whole trip just weaves its way through your hear from beginning to end...Great track...and I`m use to that being the case when I stop by your place....Fav...Ed
Thanks Ed, Iḿ glad this one caught your ear in a good way. I think bass is such an anchor to a tune and can create the mood for the listener. This one is a moody one and I love making tunes like this .
Thanks
Steve
Very trippy stuff with great rhytmical elements and more than enough diversity and variations making it extremely exciting and enjoyable ! Another winner in your remarkable catalogue Steve !:)
thank you for your kind words, I like to make music that I like to listen too, and when I share it and it touches others it's a nice feeling sometimes.
thank you
your response to AcidRn mentions a desire to surround us with the sound - I get this a lot here and dig it. And don't need to listen through the headphones for it. I would be curious to know why AcidRn thinks the mix might translate to the club system. For that matter, i would be interested to know what makes a mix work on the internet radio broadcasts. mine generally sound shallow.
my guess is that he thinks it sounds good in mono which club systems tend to sound like in reality. for me the mix must work on my stdio bose 2.5 speakers from 1985 first. then in my generic hyundai car speakers. then on my jbl-harmon karden surround sound system, then on my android-huwaei phone with cheap headphones, then on my wireless mono headphones. if it sounds good on all of those systems. the mix works IMHOP.
set up a varied system for yourself.
Intro drums are something different for you. Nice, steady tom groove then a weird vocally exclamation and some occasional, good bits of brass.
Bassline enters and stuff is building nicely now, with the drums still sitting steady. Reverse cymbal is acceptable.
1:06 quite a cool little melody.
1:35 fat beat and those big drums introduced a little earlier make more sense now. Lots of percussion in this, something we both like to do.
Rather funky wah guitar works well, as does the return of that 1:06 melody that I'm having trouble describing.
Some second wah funk g a little later. All the different elements fit well together and shit is pretty funky. Really well produced as everything is rather clear and easy to hear.
4:09 ending is fairly weird but powerful and something different as well as being very unfunky. So that's a good contrast. I would say it cuts off too abruptly right at the end but I've said it so many times before about other tracks of yours that there's probably no point mentioning it.
I didn't really hear anything spooky or related to Halloween in this. I just heard good times grooves and cheerful funk.
The drums are used very nicely here and this track certainly has a lot going on. I think this track would work great for a 1980's based Halloween party. Definitely would see lots of people trying to get their groove on. I'd be the one attempt to and fail horribly. Ending up on social media thanks to my awful dancing lol.
Hey thanks for listening. lol on the dancing. Eighties theme party it is! I´m going as as a Miami Vice Character (Sniff). It was a fun track to make. And now itś spurred aa creative streak with 4 songs in one week so far.
thanks for stopping bye.

Very cool Cru, loving All Hallows Funk this year! Does have that dark melancholic feel I love so much. Those psychoactive drugs are really kicking in now! Who spiked the punch? The grateful dead once played a warehouse and spiked the punch with lsd, when the cops came to shut them down they fed them some punch :p
Were getting together a massive collection of Halloween music this year coming from all directions. With my music you don even need the punch spiked to go off on a trip.
thanks for the props.

Infectious! I love the flow of all the sounds you created. That percussive sequence that plays throughout the song sounds so trippy. The end surprised me not once but twice. First when the (trumpet?)came into the mix and again with the guitar that followed it. Everything sounds properly leveled and good in my ears. Faved!
Hey Crypt, glad u liked it. I built this song up from that percussion sequence as I loved how it sounded moody, mysterious and groovy at the same time. So I decided early on that I would bring sounds in and out and warp them until the end when I could bring in the piano and the guitars and have the full musical sequence. And yes that´s a trumpet and a trombone. Thanks for the nice words.
