Flying Monkeys

By BOULDER D4SH on January 30, 2022 1:26 pm

So this week i got Covid infection and have been in quarantine. And the result is probably the best track so far. Style is dusty disco with some Monkeys.

It started with a bass patch in new Surge XT synth. What a great sounding free VSTi!

I hope you feel better. I had Covid also this week, just getting slightly out of it on Monday morning.

Alright, that track's funky - the wah guitar! But yeah, of course the most important is THE MONKEYS. Where did you get that sample? This is just insane. LOVE IT. The bass that starts from 0:51 pushes the funk. It pulses, as the guitar intensifies. And wow that sax like solo from 2:09 - jazzy, super tasty. GREAT!

Do you ever dream of your tracks if you work too much on them? Or you know, when you have fever and the brain kinda loops on 3s of an idea? I was thinking this "100 MONKEYS" sample would exactly be the kind of stuff that'd loop in my brain with fever!

This track was a blast!
