Hi HU,well this track floats my boat! I love funk big time. Great feel and playing ( or is it loops). Anyway, mix and balance are spot on as is the production, very clean and polished.
sad to say there is three guitar loops i used (i don't know how to play) but they were just too good to pass up. thanx for the review slap if you approve of this funk track then i did my job.
Hi FK, What I truly dig is the totally live sound you produce. Music like this needs edges to give it that gritty quality, and this is first class grit (if you get my drift).
Hi Dembow,WoWzA! What a great track! Crystal clear production,mix and balance. I really dig your arrangement on this track,it's Mighty Fine.. It ticks all of the dance structure boxes from 1-10.. I wish you well with your musical journey..
Hi Marj,You have a very pure and beautiful tone to your voice (a true gift). Your voice is a great addition to the song and I can't wait to hear more of your material.
hey SlapJohnson, thanks for droppin' by... thanks for the compliment... all compliments go back to the Big Guy above...thank you also for saying yes to FrenchKid's request... your sax too was great, it added my goosebumps... hehehe...great to hear from you...
Hi Dave, it's always a pleasure to play on one of your tracks. This song has such a chilled vibe, it's the kind of track you hear being played in one of those funky shops you seem to stumble across while on holiday. The ones that sell loads of cool clothes and strange furniture that's always owned by a wacked out hippy dude.. I love your production, it always has real depth and richness. Please feel free to bounce stuff my way at any point, I just dig these vibes..
Ahhh....I knew there was a demographic out there for me somewhere! lol..Man you have no idea how close that description parallels this dude I met in Amsterdam in the 70's...except underneath his shop in the basement he was running a virtual boutique drug business!...and when someone touched his front door knob ..lights flashed in the basement..Ooh that's as good as an admission I was down there! lol..thanks for the woodwind mate..your an inspiration.... cheers Dave
Hi John, wow great fusion!!! You have done an excellent job of knitting all of the various loops together to create this track...
Good production and I love the drum and bass work....
Hi bete, I like the sounds man! Nice! The production is nice and clear, with all the instruments and vocal levels balanced well.Is it me or does it end a bit sudden? It's still a great track even though it is short. The song I've just posted is only 2 mins! It's called Get a grip...
Really great production... It sounds super through my hifi. Everything sits well in the mix, and the main synth sound is a groovy line to knit the whole thing together. I like big time...
High five man!!!! I love rock it's great. This track makes me want to stick a marrow down my pants, run into the Doctors and make some of the elderly patients faint with the size of my part...lol... Great track Voltage! I love your guitar playing. I wish I could rock out like you can. I would play naked, with only the guitar covering my bits. The only problem with that scene is it would have to be a big guitar. I can't afford a Gretsch country gentleman just yet lol....
Slap.
Dude your comments have me laughing and I am so very inspired. To receive such words from a cat I admire so much means the world to me. One day I will provide you with a track to embellish. Thank you for the compliments and the entertaining imagery...ha!!
You are the BEST Slap.

Super intro and swamp rhythm. It's like a ethnic mix of cultures from around the world all having a jam, I can dig that vibe..
Totally original creation, I have never heard anything like this before, I think you have created your very own genre, but what can it be called....???? How about Frog rock instead of Prog rock! Yeah I will call it that Frog rock.. Great stuff.. Do you need webbed feet to join in?
Thanks Slap - "Frog Rock" works, though I'm thinking "n0madick Jungulation" might be more appropriate to the genre I'm exploring currently. You know - I love this site specifically because of the encouragement there is from real artists in trying out new things. It's a bit daunting always dancing to the beat of your own drummer, but it's reviews like this that give me license to keep going. Webbed feet are helpful for dancing to this jam, however I've found that hip-wader rubber boots will suffice in a pinch. Cheers, and thanks for adding this one to your faves - that is the ultimate nod of encouragement in my book.
Hi FK, I love songwriters who write good songs with catchy melodies that stick in your head. You have both in this offering. Great track! I found myself singing along in the second chorus, which means I'm hooked. Good clear production means all can be heard, and the mix sits pretty. I like the harmonies, again something which is very effective in getting my attention.
10/10 from me on this one...
Hi Dave, In a word, EPIC. This song is so chromatic. There is so many colours,textures and layers to it, it's like a big groovy jazz funk cake filled with lots of great rhythm and melody.
The production is mind blowing!!! It's an amazing track and sound...
Hey Steve..I occasionally take a stroll from the diatonic path..lol..this had a lot of separate elements in it which I know you've had experience with..I think I might keep things a little less cluttered in the future..I've since remastered this and tried to get a little more separation and clarity in the mix..cheers mate..oh,by the way I've got a tune in my head with your name on it!..Dave :)
Hi Califken, I agree! The intro is wonderful, I like the rest of the track also. Your production is very impressive, and you are doing some nice splicing work (I don't use this myself).
THANK U SLAP! // UPDATED - NOW this starts with just Mike's and my vocal part - then it plays all the vocals together, then it plays just the synthetic vocals with the instrumental - dance part is off the track until I tidy it up a bit -- :D
Man, a fave from Slap is about as great a compliment as a person can get here! I was hoping you'd hear this one at some point, as it features my homemade finger piano as the bass. There's something about playing music on an instrument you've built that's rather special. So glad you dig this one. Cheers!
Super dooper track my man! Brilliant beat and groove construction. Your arrangements are always first class,as is you mix and production. This is a great track.
Hi Bud, one word Epic! This is quality work of the highest standard, I just hope more of this community listen and learn from this song on all the levels it has to offer. The songwriting is superb, as are the vocals. The instruments are all played to a professional standard, and the production again is truly inspirational...
This has to be the best song I have heard on this site for a long time.. Well done to all involved. Those with an ego can jump off a bridge when this stuff is played that's for sure... Please upload more...
Hey Slap....Epic!...over the years of you putting up with me..that is probaly one of the highest compliments an artist can recieve especially from my musical mentor like you...Thx so much ...I am glad you enjoyed it...Thx, Bud
Thank you Slap - that 10 minute challenge got me over 2 full weeks of total blockage. I'm really pleased how this one turned out, especially since all triggering and slider manipulation was done with a mouse. I'm currently checking out some of your loops for prospective tweakage and I'm blown away at what a sample resource you are! Cheers - Sean.
SUPER FUNK!!!! Wow Vic this stuff is HOT! Really great arrangement and mix. Some wonderful guitar work buddy, sounds mighty fine. You mentioned Dave Sanborn in a review you gave me, well I will say Candy Dulfer/Grover Washington/Sanborn about this funktastic creation... Send me a track to blow over (Please)! I feel the funk and I want to blow baby....
Thanks Slap1 I'm glad you heard what I've put together so far and the very kind words, I'm gonna come up with something blazing for you to play on for sure!! Your loops and playing are a real inspiration!I used rei4real's guitar loops and a few others from the site also, but I play in a similar style but can't record guitar live at the moment.. Thanks again man!!
Hi Dubz, send me the track without the synth sax and i will add a real horn to it.. I have sent you a message with my mail addy... I like the upbeat feel to this track considering the subject matter. I gather Gigzy was a bit of a cheecky chappy, only the good die young so they say! I'm sorry to hear about your loss, but it's great you have made such a positive track...
Hi Sob, thanks for the mail about this track. I like the song! I have always been a fan of songwriters/musicians (Real instruments) if you get my drift. So this ticks all of the boxes. Sweet playing/arrangement and clear production helps the vocals sit just right... 10/10...
Thanks for the kind review. Your sax loop fits this sound perfectly. I can't wait to use more of your loops. I am doing a track now that has your harmonica loops with a Stones feel. I will let you know when it is done.
This is the real deal! Real instruments being played by a real musician.Real vocals with original lyrics and a true gritty quality... Your production is just right for this song (flawless). So 10/10 from me....
Thank you, That means allot coming from you. I am new to looperman and your loops stand out as the top of the top. I have been listening to your loops now for a few days and I am very excited about using them on upcoming tracks. Can I contact you about an Alto solo I need? Im looking for a short Bowie type solo between an F and G chord rotation at about 70 bpm...any ideas?
Elevated! Great lift music as you say. Nice progression and melody, this is indeed a happy song. I have to congratulate you on this creation in 10 minutes, it really is a catchy tune...
Thanks for getting involved in this daft idea,but some great music has come from it, so I feel we all are winners...
I really enjoyed throwing something together so quickly. Since I had to do everything live, it threw a huge wrench in my normal process. Instead of trying to force my work into 4 and 8 bar loops, I just... had fun. I think it worked out better, musically speaking, than my normal method.
In short, I think I might write the initial versions of my new songs like this. Your "daft idea" opened a new door for me; thanks for putting such an interesting breakout idea.
Well smart intro! I also like those tight vocal harmonies, I hope I'm not insulting you when I say the vocals remind me of Status Quo (great british band in my mind). Awesome lead work!!!
Hi Mr. johnson,
Thanks for the kind words.To say I sound like Status Quo is quite a compliment in my eyes, just like me they are from the old school.I joined this site to try to pick up some new ideas to make my sound come out younger. If at all possible.
I just love making music and writing songs.....Will reciprocate review asap..........kindest regards.......Dylan Thermos (Wales)
