Music News – New EP; A Lil Funky

A bit of a change a UK Funky EP with four UK Funky-inspired club tracks. I got the drums online but I made the bass and some of the drum and percussion loops. I’ve made a few UK Funky EPs and one album but this is my favourite EP of the lot and I went for more bass, percussion and drums instead of using synths which I used to like using a lot in my rave stuff but I now like the stripped back versions which makes the bass and drums stand out more with the vocals on top. All the tracks have vocals which I got from my online subscription with Splice.com you find some good ones from that site even though they say not to send off the tracks with the samples used in Splice.com to any record company. The first track Feeling The Time is not my favourite on the EP probably my least favourite but I like it. I like the vocals which I got from a vocal sample pack which I brought from Loopmasters.com when I was buying more loops than one shot (one-hit sounds). The next song Just Called To Say is one of my favourites on the EP and I was quite pleased with it, to be honest. Again I found the samples on Splice and the second track already had the telephone fx on which I liked and knew I would make a good track with it. It gave me a few variations to chuck up in the air and I thought it was a good club track to dance to or a song to play loud in the car. I like the vocals but I like the bass too and is over a standard UK Funky drum pattern nothing too wild and nice and simple to make. The third song How It Feels (Bet They Don’t Tell Ya) is my overall favourite from the EP I like the bass and the vocals which gives it that club feel with the bass and the UK Funky drum pattern. I love vocals like this and also gives it that deep feel or warehouse room feel which I love, I was lucky to find the vocals and were exactly in my downloads of unused samples I think. I liked it for a later date so I was pleased when I rediscovered it. I think it goes with the beat and I would say one of my favourites for the moment of all-time stuff I made I would say. The last track We Make is another favourite of mine on the EP but not the most favourite I think it’s a good song for drinking and partying and I like the bass and vocals the pitched vocals make a change to the ones I usually use but I like to use a wide range of vocals, what I like the most and that is suitable to the track. The vocals say we make music and that’s what I love to do so this is also going out to all the music makers worldwide doing your thing.
