Description : Final update and mix through a pair of Yamaha HS50M powered studio monitors. This is the latest song to be finished for our forthcoming album "Festival" which we will be promoting at this years Edinburgh fringe festival. Alexander blows the first sax solo on alto with me providing a tenor and harmonica solo later. I wanted to produce a track which will hopefully stick in peoples heads hence the lyric. This is the second mix so I have bumped the vocal up a touch and dropped my tenor sax solo down as it was just a little forward. I am again looking for constructive comments for improvement in this area. Recorded in Logic 9 using line 6 tone port and a digiteh RP 50 for the guitar effects.
Cheers, Slap...

Cool effects on the entrance vocals. Sounds like house jazz.

You can definitely blow some sax. Was that some rotary breathing or did you just hold that note that long? Great track.

I am not a follower "Funk " but I can tell you here that I was really pleasantly caught in this whirlwind pace. Maybe in your view, there is certainly room for improvement, but for me, this work already resulted ....

Nice tune. I like the harmonica very much and the sax. I just have one suggestion, maybe the beats could sound a bit stronger...

Hi RitsLong, I will look into making the beats more beefy... It all depends on your system. I mixed this through wharfedales..

Very Pro stuff going on Slap....My listening days started back when every band wanted a sax player (I`m admitting my age) so my ears are still tuned to the good sounds...This one is really well done so was pleasurable listening over her in Canada tonight (I am originally from just across the pond a few miles from you...N Ireland)...Might be some wear on my ears, but I`d bring the vocal up just a touch....well done...Ed

Hi Mack, thanks for the positive vibe towards the track. I would be over listening to your stuff right now if the school I work at would allow me to listen to streamed music, but alas they don't!

This is a really catchy tune! The part with the lyrics reminds me of Ween, which is a good thing! Awesome beats! Really good solos too! That harmonica sound very cool! I don't have any suggestions for you because this song sounds finished to me. Faved for sure!

Hi Spiv,
I wanted something catchy, so if you approve then that's cool. Getting the mix right is always personnel preference but I feel I need to invest in some flat response speakers soon. I will put them on the list if we sell enough cds...

Cheers, Slap...

Description : A reimagining of my original track Drive which was uploaded some time ago. This time a female vocal has been added with the help of AceStudio and the track updated somewhat to a hopefully better standard.

Enjoy!

Description : I wanted to create a Euro dance anthem with a hip hop beat and a lower bpm than the traditional 128 to 136 bpm range. This is the beat I created. No AI has been used in this track. I created everything myself. It is a purely instrumental beat. I used Rapid Synth for the euro lead sound and the melody has been composed by me. The drums are a loop from this site.
