Insomnia Funk

I guess this is some sort of Ambient-Electro-Funk-House. Neat!

I started the week with this really solid 8-bar loop. The kind that makes you go "Oh shit, how am I gonna keep this energy up for the entire track that I still have to make?"
So I went into jam mode, perhaps inspired by having seen Reggie Watts last week. Sat down at my keyboard and started taking stuff off the grid, so to speak. I ended up recording the Pad for the midsection into the M8 (also a first!) et voilá - the track sort of had a storyline! Finished up by adding some layers with M8 synthesis and tweaking the whole track to support the structure. I'm quite happy with how it turned out, as I always am when I take things into a direction I wouldn't have predicted.

That's a cool midsong shift! A little nasty in just the right way.

If it ain't a little nasty, it ain't right.
