20 Step Steady

A little light fun for the summer time. Maybe not the usual vibe or a place I go to often, but I got a soft spot for some happy, light, reggae-tinged tunes in the hot summer time. And hey WB is the place for a little goofy fun. This was a 2016 track, spiffed up a little (still not the perfect mix but whatever), added some vox and things, and kinda feeling it this hot Sunday. Hope all are good our there!

It feels a little more lo-fi than usual, but the happy fun vibe summertime vibe shines through for sure.

fun factor 100%. Well done.

The happy sauce is thick on this one. Nice pacing and I like how that flute texture is gently detuned for a little spacey thickness. Man you are killing it on the vocals lately. Good message too.

A fun track indeed.  Enjoyed all the percussion and that playful melody.  It kind of reminded me of Len's Steal My Sunshine a bit with it's feel good vibes.

Perfect summer vibes, fun lyrics, need to crack a beer and sit in the sun listening to this one

Yeah, lo-fi by accident actually, but hey, whatevers, maybe that's a good kind of lo-fi! Glad the summertime vibe shined through. Thanks!

Mmm, happy sauce! Thanks so much, glad you liking the vox, always a little challenge, but am trying. "gently detuned for spacey thickness" needs to be a motto for sure. I kind of thought this one would be throway, too cheesy, who knows maybe will keep it around. Cheers!

Haha, yes, that's the feeling was going for! Hope you had chance to crack a beer in the sunshine this summer!

I like this - especially the horn thingy.  I might want a low cut on the vocals, but cool bouncy vibe and the reverse thingy was the JAM.  Mad early Beck vibes on this jam

Thank you, glad you liked! I found it cheesey in some ways, but hey I like cheesey sometimes and gotta go for it. Love some Beck too, that's a great compliment. Good call on the low cut on vox ... I think I need to do that more often, always lots of low end on my voice mucking things up. Vox are hard to mix, lots to learn!  I don't remember the reversie thingy, gonna go back and check that!
