(( Funky Jackin House ))
I managed to procure this project by arranging within Ableton Live then by using it as the master sequencer, I dropped sample accurate cuts through my MPC 2000 XL. Extra synth and bass richness were also injected by using my Roland 909 groove box. This mix is a hybrid experimentation both "in" and "out of the box" and was inspired by watching my brother Stacy Osorio work the MPC in the studio when he stayed with me recently. I have always admired his ability to produce a groove out of thin air, and I wanted to capture something similar on the fly to give the mix a certain special level of performance.
When my brother had visited, we managed to get my studio re-connected after a long hiatus (w/a broken midi patch bay). We replaced my old broken Midiman 8x8 with a newer model, and we got the studio to vibe like it once did in its heyday (circa late 90's early 2k's). With this on hand, I selected cuts then chopped them up by using sample accurate lengths which were arranged in Live. I then layered samples over the mix. The 909 came into play with thickening of existing bass lines, and also taking riffs into a more decorative melody motion within the mix.
The vibe is spot on with what I was trying to capture. A Deep Funky Jacking musical adventure... yet with this said, it's also has injections of digital 80's synth pop, 70's disco and a dash of Tech House as well.
I found new artists to promote like "The House Inspectors" "D-T3ch" "Chris Harris & Dom Martin" "Code Luke", and at the same time melded some choice tracks from my favorites like "Tovar" "B Original" "Jay West" & "Joey Youngman" The project was an interesting twist into uncharted territory for me, and I will continue to move in this direction with my mix projects.
30% of the mix is all original and the remaining 70% are re-edits of other Artist's tracks. This combination has made for a well rounded mix that bangs the beats in the car as well as on the dance floor.
