apparently there's this program called ableton that does that all for you now. you don't even have to play anything, just click "make beat" and voila.

there are some songs that i wish sounded more like whiney g-funk and less like complex chromeo beats, but hey i love chromeo all the same so it's no biggie
― meme-first attitude (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 22:53 (fourteen years ago) link
i have not yet gotten to the 9 min song called "searchin' 4 funk's future" just yet - i'm excited about that
dam-funk and chromeo both trying to sound like the gap band or whatever (and going about it in entirely different ways) /= dam-funk sounding like chromeo

Fly is Vol. 2 of the 'digital release' from my new project Toeachizown. The 1st 3 joints on this volume consist of my continued steps into the 'electric-space-funk' style I'm humbled 2 share with U from my mind, yet this time out, with a more 'danceable' vibe 2 it. U know, for the clubs...worldwide! The first 3 tracks “Flying V Ride” (which is a reference 2 the fabled UFO that many have reported seeing in their lifetime), “Candy Dancin’” & “Burn Straight Thru U” co-exist as a 'suite' called “The Move Suite”. Yes, 3 songs that are joined together as 1. This is why the 'drum machine pattern' is the same on these 3 particular songs. “Candy Dancin’” also features a wicked synth solo & vocoder contribution by the 1 and only Mark de Clive-Lowe.
The remaining 3 joints of this volume on this 'digital release': “10 West”, “I Wanna Know” (a vocal) & “Rollin’” represent exactly what the title of this volume is: Fly. They're joints that U can roll 2. Let your hair down 2. Vibe with a lady 2 (or vice-versa), + stay 'fly' 2. I know there's still some fly ladies & gentlemen out there. This Vol. 2 from my Toeachizown project is...4 U.

it's kind of amazing to me how great his long form stuff is. the suite here and "searching 4 funk's future" have a great build and aren't really content with just settling into a groove and riding it out

his music sounds like it couldn't exist before midnight, i'm sure you'll be fine

i'm just worried this will be a repeat of my experience seeing d4rshan jesr4ni of metro area, in which i expected to hear a bunch of metro area-ish tracks and instead was treated to a two hour set of boring (to me) unclassics revivalism. which also led to a really butthurt personal email from d4rshan after i posted about it on ILM.
i would much much rather hear dam funk spin his own music than spin a two hour set of gap band and prince tracks, so i'm hoping that's what happens. i assume he's not playing live or anything.
― moonship journey to baja, Thursday, 6 August 2009 21:12 (fourteen years ago) link
he does great boogie mixes tho ... i mean, hes a party DJ, thats what hes known for, so he might be BETTER at unclassics revivalism ...
― butthurt (deej), Thursday, 6 August 2009 22:06 (fourteen years ago) link
he cleared the floor by playing lots of g-funk and lots of instrumental early 80s tracks with super-loud bass. didn't really sound anything like his mixes. he did sing along to nearly every track though, making up really silly lyrics
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 7 August 2009 20:14 (fourteen years ago) link
at this point i'm pretty used to having my expectations busted by DJ sets from producers i like

i've only heard the benji b mix but it was good, that said I think I'd like if someone played all old gfunk. or made music like it. nobody is doing this really even tho there's a big crossover between 80s boogie and gfunk imo...cocaine crossover.

i think hes an amazing musician but some of his programming is kinda zzzz. its kinda like 90s smooth jazz with someone soloing all over jazz+hip hop beats except hes just doing it with old 80s quiet stormy drum machines.

man, i got into some major beef with a jerk on ISM about Dam-Funk, where i said that his productions are excellent but his DJ sets are spotty. the guy attacked me for no reason, saying i had no right to diss such a great producer, and i was like, "dude, you can't read. if a guy train-wrecks again and again and again during a DJ set, i'm not going to lick his balls."
anyway, yeah, seen him live a few times, totally spotty. can be so damn good you drip just listening to it or so bad that you get 'tard tingles.

he 'trainwrecks' all over the place on that BBC mix & its still my fav mix ive heard this year
i loved it for the first hour i listened to it, then got a little bored second time, not sure I've even listened once since.
― I for one welcome this new Nazi ILX (Local Garda), Saturday, 8 August 2009 00:08 (fourteen years ago) link
not even a criticism necessarily...but that's what happened.
i have to say his mixing was fairly tight last night and his "vocal stylings" were in key and on point ... i just found the selection of music he played to be much, much less compelling than what i've heard from toeachizown
― moonship journey to baja, Saturday, 8 August 2009 00:09 (fourteen years ago) link
everything he played sounded like a version of "atomic dog" minus the mids and treble, which is not the great thing it sounds like on paper
― moonship journey to baja, Saturday, 8 August 2009 00:10 (fourteen years ago) link
i like some of the vocal stuff except the part in the bbc one where he says something about "if a fella asks you to dance and you say no, i'm going to be annoyed." or something.
i mean seriously that's pretty creepy.
― I for one welcome this new Nazi ILX (Local Garda), Saturday, 8 August 2009 00:11 (fourteen years ago) link
blah blah blah 'i don't care about trainwrecks.' maybe true, but i do. if you're not going to do proper mixes, then just play the songs sans mixing. it will be much more pleasant that way, imho.

nah i find your techno purism about a dude spinning funny funk traxx and speaking into a mic over them to be silly
isnt the bbc mix only 30 mins long, ronan? are you talking abt something else?

not sure what the winky face is about, but makes so much sense. i've got a buddy who's a record dealer, and friends w/dam and the stonesthrow crew, and all he deals in anymore is boogie and modern soul. told me he sold a boogie 7" for $4000.
