This is absolutely fantastic!!! One of the best remixes Ive heard of our stuff. Thank You so much. Let me know if you are going to release it (Our terms are simple: Go ahead and release it..if you sell a bunch, great - good for you! If it becomes a big giant hit, then we will want compensation, but we aren't going to chase you around for selling handfulls of copies on iTunes, etc - We want you to be successful and your success means ours. If you release on CD or vinyl, make sure we get a copy) One minor thing: Urban Shokker is two words lol
Congrats on your first trip into funk. I like the track but heres some advice from an oldschool old man funkateer who goes back several decades and is a professional musician (as in - playing bass and singing has been my career/job :D )
1) Funk isnt four on the floor - four-on-the-floor is disco
2) You are using a bass loop. This is fine but the drums and bass parts really have to lock up - If you have a solid phat bass/drum lock, you can do almost anything else you want with it - but those parts have to lock, too...Your guitar loop is a bit off from hitting the accents
3) Funk is a very heavy downnbeat (The ONE)....Always hit the ONE hard
4) This is the most important: What makes any song funky isnt the notes but the space (the 'rests')between the notes....Funk has to breathe
Hope any of this comes in handy.......With all that said, your track really isnt funky, but it is a cool track....liked it lots....best of luck
Many thanks for stopping by and reviewing this one for me, also thank for a great in-depth review, maybe not everyones idea of funk for sure, but happy enough with it being my first ever attempt, knew it would get some mixed reviews as with the other version with the 4 on floor would, guess I do things a little diff then most lol, but when attempting this genre again will try to follow some of the steps you posted here, again thank you for a great review...Peace n Respect...Mos...
