Hidden feelings (Stubblefield Singularity mix)

This one took a lot of time, really...

It all started with a skeleton from an old ModPlug tracker piece from back in 2001. I bounced and resampled a lot of tracks until I rescued something decent from that. Then, it came Ableton and lots and lots of automation, trying hard give it some kind of dubby feeling. Details, more EQ, more sends... And finally, 45 minutes before the deadline, finally the bassline appeared from thin air smile

So I give you my small tribute to Clyde Stubblefield, drummer extraordinaire and the father of the Funky Drummer.

For some, there's "Stairway to Heaven" or a Chopin's Nocturne. Me, I won't be doing music without that drum break. Still hits me with the same streght as when I was 8.

Peace. Hope you enjoy

Superb balance between dub and funkiness!
