Guest Snoz Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 what do people mean by funky? I just cant understand when people say "a real funky bass line" and then I listen to the track and either goes: ratattata ratatata in 16th or in 8th umpa umpa. When the hell did that get funky? it is stiff. Fine if you want a mad night time headbanger with a 16th but if you haven´t heard any other music except that then don´t say everything is funky.. Quote
shpongled Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 I like funky/groovy basslines in psytrance tracks. Listen to the beginning of Process - Blue Moonies... now that's funky b-line! But unfortunately after few minutes it changes back to your typical psy du-du-du-du-...... Another nice funky b-line is in Double Dragon - Worm Most used b-line is this where you got two 16th notes before kickdrum.. that b-line is in like 80% of all the psytrance tracks produced these days... I really wonder why? Quote
Guest stephen klump Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Etnica: "Troubles" off the South Africa 2000 comp. This track and a couple of others makes the comp worth getting. The 3, 3, 3, 3, 3; 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3; 2 breakup of 32 beats is fuckin' hypnotic. "You've got no guts, that's your trouble!" SK Quote
Guest stephen klump Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 whoops - one too many 3's. Freudian slip in any case -- this 'lost-my-place-for-a-sec' until the short hop of 2 resets position is exactly what the track does to the brain. SK Quote
Guest Mugge Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Check out anything by Nick Taylor... and you'll hear some really funky stuff. Quote
Hels Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 The new Eraser vs Yojalka has some pretty funky basslines I think. A lil bizarre though Quote
