Funk Set Radio

By Kedbreak136 on May 24, 2020 2:23 am

For some random reason I was listening a lot to Cowboy bebop this week and wanted to go for a funk vibe, with some Jet Set Radio, some samurai showdown and saxophone on the top.



Done in FL studio, again with a lot of nice samples from Splice, especially for the sax part. I can't play sax nor do I have a VST that would sound like that.

Adore the bass and the guitar in this track, man. Also so impressed you made the shamisen fit.

Funky! Clean arrangement. there is lots of space. Fun stuff.

No clue what cowboy bepop is, but this is funky as hell! Great mix!

Damn solid funk fusion.

Mmmmmmmmm funky.  Great guitar and bass.  Great job on this funkayyyyyy track.

Definitely nails that Jet Set Radio vibe down. I could totally see this in that type of game.

Shamisen is a bit like pineapple. You can put it anywhere! Though the pizza mafia might differ.

Thank you! First time i felt my arrangement was not full and mushy. High passing aggressively everything seems to have helped. smile

Cowboy bebop was a late nineties anime serie set in space, famous for its jazzy funky and just super cool soundtrack. You should check it out. smile

I miss playing that game!

Oh shit. Jet Set! Only the real ones know this game. Haha. Dreamcast was so underrated! The funk is alive in this one. That bassline goes!

Dude Jet Set Radio was AWESOME!  My cousin has a "modded" Dreamcast that could play pirated games.  We definitely pirated this one.

Nice bit of funk and decent raw guitar tone. Is that koto later?!

I used a shamisen soundfont for the shamisen lines. Cheating all the way, not gonna buy a real shamisen, I would not be able to play it. smile

Perfect executed funk.
