glad if you have liked it . i like your tonality Spivkurl .god bless you.

Yes, it doesn't belong in hip hop but as it's got hip hop in it I thought I'd give people a little surprise and post something in hip hop that they're probably only likely to hear once in the hip hop section. I've never before heard banjo in hip hop, though I guess there must be some somewhere.

Yes, I really like some of the guitar playing on this, particularly the finger brushed chords in the last guitar section in the last minute or so. I can't remember very well but I think they're chords played with the glass slide (but without any actual sliding around).

As regards performance, I always do multiple varied takes of actual playing and then spend ages and ages piecing together the best bits and moving things around and so on. So there are some guitar parts that are full, unedited performances but they are often just 20 seconds or so, often much less, before I do an edit or layer something else on top(I don't care where I do it, I just do what I think works for the track).

I always record on a loop (8 bar, 16 bar, whatever) so never worry about getting things "wrong" and that allows me to really relax and let go and do whatever comes into my head or through my fingers.

Thanks for listening and I'll be posting another track very soon, probably today.

Many thanks for listening and your comment

Haha thanx man, i was suprised myself too, thanx for your kind comment!

Thanks!
Yeah, I forgot to cut it before I uploaded it and I forgot to set the marks properly when I bounced it :D

Thanks Spiv! I've been focusing more on rock lately so it's cool to go back and relisten to some tracks I did a while back. Might have to put down a new dubstep track in the near future. They are always so much fun to make! Thanks for the Fav man!

I had some real problems making this. Started in about 2001 and then I left it for many years and then extended and improved it this year. It's still not as good as I think it should be so not sure if I'll maybe go back and try yet again to improve it. Most of my stuff has loads of guitar in it but this is one of my less common pure electro compositions.

Yes, the groove is excellent. It's based around the very first drum loop that plays in Reason 1.0, which I've used in quite a few tracks. Then the djembes really help push that groove along. This is all made in Reason (not that that really matters).

Thanx for listening Spiv!

Thanks a lot!

Hi Spivkurl :)
As I said, I have no merit as I just borrowed gorgeous loops and quickly laid some little vocals on them .
But I'm glad you enjoyed it _ despite a low quality global mix_ and came over to say it . Thank you very much for your gentle words, Sir .
