(( Funky Deep House ))
Funky Beat Astronaut is a funky mixture of "street" House with a hint of disco and a peppering of breaks. I toiled with remixing/editing the track arrangement for about a week before I dropped them in Ableton to mix and mash up. If you are familiar with the tracks selected in the play-list, you'll noticed I edited them, and in some cases completely re-arrange tracks to preserve flow-energy within the set.
Concept-wise, I wanted to create a polished structured energy for this studio mix, and I think this set achieves that goal by concentrating the majority of the tunes within one theme, or key. For a good part of the project I selected tracks in A minor and C major, but I also managed to insert tracks with signatures a few keys up and down the scale to give the set a more organic variation. Vocals are also a critical component to the mix as it adds the human element to the set, and you'll hear samples galore with heavy effects added throughout.
The mastering was achieved by using Wave's L1, PSP's Vintage Warmer and a bit of standard EQ work to give the mix space eliminating offensive frequencies thus allowing for a clean listening environment.
If you like this mix, please let me know by providing feedback, or you can just be a voyeur and not say anything... ha ha!
Enjoy the "Gift" of Music...
