(( Funky House ))
Funk Melange is a mixture of Funk, Disco, House and Breaks that gets your booty moving and shaking to the syncopation of beats and basslines from the very start of Chuck Robert's My House acappella to Nathan Stewart's Sweet Spot. It is truly a bright and shiny Funk compilation that takes the listener deep into the mix of my personal interpretation of this warm and organic style.
Within my many years of production study, I have found Ableton to be an incredible tool for creating "mix productions." I call them productions because of the total and absolute control the producer/DJ has at his fingertips allowing him to take the mix in whatever direction he feels necessary to literally control the vibe. Don't like a part of a track? That's okay... snip snip tuck tuck, add some beats/percussion, write a synth line/bassline over it, and viola, you have a transition that gels with your next track (or a short track that is all your own.) My experimentation doesn't end there though, with the recent addition of the Akai APC-40 midi controller to my studio, the mixes will continue to get incredibly deeper and deeper. Soon, I will have enough in my repertoire to take this style of mixing on the road to perform "live." I will certainly enjoy that day when it finally arrives!
In the meantime take the time to listen, and if you like what you hear, always remember to do your part & recommend, favourite, comment then follow. Spread the Funk and unleash it because it's good for you!
