Skol303 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Yeah, I know this really belongs in the Share Your Music forum, but I’m going to hoist myself by my own petard and post it here instead… what the heck, it’s Good Friday, I’m pumped on chocolate eggs and very excited So yeah, I have a single out today on blocSonic (a US-based net label). And I even got paid to put this one together. Amazing. It’s an old school hip hop jam with two guys from Brooklyn, New York: Donnie Ozone and POT-C. Arrangement, production and bass guitar by yours truly (an old Fender P for anyone interested). Free download here: http://blocsonic.com/releases/bsuni0002 Hope you dig it and happy Easter!

discreet Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) I'm interested, can I have my old Fender P now, please? Congratulations Paul, great playing and production work as always - like the humour in it, too. Good luck.

Congratulations Paul, great playing and production work as always - like the humour in it, too. Good luck. [/quote] Thanks Mark, much appreciated! I kept the baseline simple, but I think it suits the track (the brief was to create something that sounded "old school", so I aimed for a [i]"90s-hip-hop-sampling-70s-funk" [/i]sort of thing). Donnie and POT-C's lyrics always have a touch of humour... and no swearing. PG rated, mother******! PS: you still can't have my P-bass. [quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1458925629' post='3012198']Thanks for sharing. Liked it. How did you get involved in that ?[/quote] I've known Donnie (one of the rappers) for a couple of years after collaborating with him via SoundCloud. We've kept in touch since. I'm not sure how he got involved in the blocSonic label. He's big into the Creative Commons thing - making music that can be shared, downloaded, broadcast with no strings attached, which is what this particular label is all about. Short story: I just like pimping myself around SoundCloud and elsewhere, collaborating with whoever is interested in doing so. It gets me working with all kinds of different people and on rare occasions I get a release like this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You nailed that '70s funk vs. 90s hip-hop' thing..[/quote] Thanks! I barely had to add any after-FX to the bass track. Just an old P-bass with flats and some compression. Job done [quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1458938092' post='3012337']Thanks for the info. Interesting approach.[/quote] No probs. I don't play in a band, so all of my collaborative work is carried out remotely, making contacts and swapping files online. Works for me - I'm otherwise too busy/lazy to commit to weekly band practices and that sort of thing. So it lets me work with other people whilst sat in my grundies at home. Skype optional [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1458949653' post='3012445']Well done Paul, I'll have a proper listen in the morning, via my headphones [/quote] Cheers Gary! I recommend downloading the FLAC version of the track - it's by far the best quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
