ster - Star Spangled Banger James Webster 2022-07-04 | From when I sang the national anthem before the first pitch at Yankee Stadium on Christmas Day of 2020 with my brass quintet, and sadly, we got hacked.LYRICS:---(Dawn)Early light,Don't need to fight,Make peace,Not pride,Get down tonight.---Peril untold,Flags to fold,We're one Earth,All cold at birth,No bombs,Just moms.---Amber grains 🇺🇦,The world around,We're,One town,So let's get down.---Peace.Make peace.---released 2022/04/01
𝙎𝙄𝙀𝙇 - Riding シーサイド James Webster 2021-10-25 | Here, I've narrowly escaped Distrokid's influence by uploading year-old content, but that's so last year. Literally. According to ASCII's 𝙎𝙄𝙀𝙇, the sample is something from Tatsuro Yamashita, and I'm outsourcing finding the exact track to you, viewers.

Solid Mix Vol. 5 [Mixtape] // Mixed by Le Phunk James Webster 2021-04-26 | This might be my least favorite Solid mixtape so far ("might" *winkwink*), and I love it dearly. Still Solid.

hisoo - L-Like remix James Webster 2021-04-23 | Not sure what the sample(s) is (are). Same old sad story of my 1960's - '80's funk ignorance b/c not yet alive at the time. And I'm old enough to know that this song is cheese city, but holy moldwheel, that's funkayy @0:45. Sometimes it's a viable cheese.hisoo - soundcloud.com/hisoohee
snowskim fail James Webster 2021-03-19 | when the friction between the board and the snow is greater than the friction between the board and my boots. first take/try. from the TX blizzard
Daze - This Love (Kazzey Remix) James Webster 2021-03-19 | Great original by Daze, especially the vox, but (imho) Kazzey takes the mix to dreamland. I've always been a huge sucker for muted guitar plucks and sweeping synth arpeggios. Kazzey keeps teasing by limiting the fullest part of the mix to just a few short bars, but hey, we get some bongos, subtle vocoder, and a hella smooth lead synth line sprinkled in. *chef's kiss*Daze - soundcloud.com/daze-1Kazzey - soundcloud.com/kazzeymusic
SUPERSEX420 x TENDENCIES - Untitled 01 James Webster 2021-01-23 | I stole this! I stole it. I'm sorry, artists, it's in the spirit of hype assistance. This isn't even a real release; that could be even better, but this is already masterpiece-ish. Could not not hype. :)soundcloud.com/supersex420, soundcloud.com/TendenciesWill remove if requested
CyanBlue & Salvator - Girl I Love You So (I Will Win) James Webster 2021-01-21 | So much cheese squeezed outta such a short sample. Toe tappin' disco feelgoodness. And yup, I'm "back" :). Cheers!edit: Btw, the "(I Will Win)" used by the artists in the title is probably both a nod to some of the lyric chops and also 'cuz this is an entry into a Louis LaRoche sample flip contest that maybe CyanBlue and Salvatore should win.? But I can't find the contest details or other corroboration, or other submissions. :|CyanBlue - soundcloud.com/itscyanblueSalvator - soundcloud.com/salvator-official
FIBRE - Virtual World James Webster 2021-01-17 | FIBRE steps into the realm of OG/OC vox, and doesn't disappoint. I've had this in my publishing queue for months, but I've been crazy busy. I'm sorry, and you'll see.FIBRE: soundcloud.com/fibremusic
Pomo X Harrison Brome - Intoxicated (antera remix) James Webster 2020-05-18 | The original (youtu.be/lRJ2xsNREpg) is f̶a̶n̶t̶a̶s̶t̶i̶c̶. Edit: no, it's incredible, in and of itself, as a starting point. Then, antera came in and did the dat processing chain thing(s), and it's also fantastic. Added tasteful horns/brass, too. Ain't EZ. Most importantly, I think we all need a feel-good anthem right now. Hoping you're well, literally anyone reading this.Update: I think I just made the first lyrical transcription of this song, see further below. It's for the original lyrics in the link above, so the lyrics on this post are a subset of that. Corrections always welcome :)Pomo - soundcloud.com/pomobeatsantera - soundcloud.com/anteramusicHarrison Brome - soundcloud.com/harrisonbromeI've been workin' with my eyes closed,Dreamin' 'bout bein' with... you.

Paiges not-40th Birdday James Webster 2020-04-11 | It's almost every day that you don't turn 40. The only Katy Perry song I know, swear to god.UPDATE: I'm so so sorry about the advertisement. It's not me. Cake was delish, btw
Vaughn Oliver/U-Tern - Hard Drive Waste 003 James Webster 2020-03-30 | Previously, 001: youtu.be/6HcYLK6J4Nw, and 002: youtu.be/hTslb_m08Z0So this guy, Vaughn nameofhisotherproject, just goes and tinkers with 77 minutes of golden glory over a few years worth of ain't-even-flexin' mixes, and I'm supposed to not tell you to go buy it for a buck?? Nah gumroad.com/vaughnoliverVaughn Oliver/U-Tern - soundcloud.com/u-tern
Bonus Points - Accelerate James Webster 2020-02-14 | This project name and track title are only a few degrees more Google-able than a band named "How To" putting out tracks like "Tie Your Shoe". As per usual (citation: youtu.be/H9FBcqjqQd8), Bonus Points bring the funk. "Accelerate" is track six of six off an EP from five weeks ago. Track #2 is another banger: soundcloud.com/bonuspoints/take-off-full-ep-mixBonus Points: soundcloud.com/bonuspoints
DASH30 - Back and Forth James Webster 2020-02-08 | This track just got a re-release after FIBRE polished up the mixing and mastering. I don't think I've ever heard indie lyrics bop this hard, guys. DASH30 (pictured, probably) is a kid producing from... wait for it... Idaho?! Reminds me of the time I found out that Amtrac lives in Kentucky. But really, this song will probably never be dethroned from my top 5 of 2020. Hats off to my 2CAPSLOCKBOIS(E? DASH30, this joke's for you). Released on Montaime Records, FIBRE's label, I think. Lyrics further below.DASH30 - soundcloud.com/dash30FIBRE - soundcloud.com/fibremusicMontaime - soundcloud.com/montaimeLYRICS:Back and forthStop thereYou're making me nervousI got the chance but I don't got the timeRight whenI came to the surfaceYou knock me down and I'm lost in my mindI went up to the limitDown to forget itI really didn't mean to over complicate itTried to seem hard to getNow I'm feeling scared to deathAnd now I need to catch my breathNow this could be trueTrue somethingWhatever you doI can't admit that it's nothing ohhI gotta let you know nowYou gotta let me know howYou gotta show me howNow this could be trueTrue somethingWhatever you doI can't admit that it's nothing ohhI gotta let you know nowYou gotta let me know howYou gotta show me how you move back and forth
iamalex - In Love With You Girl James Webster 2020-02-05 | This one goes out to muh girl. iamalex delivers another filtered disco sample that he's run through his magical processing chains, and it's enough for us northern hemisphere peeps to begin to let ourselves think about spring break, or maybe *gasp* summer. Honey Butter Records released this track, which makes me crave a certain Whataburger breakfast menu item (anyone else??).iamalex - soundcloud.com/iamalexcphHoney Butter Records - soundcloud.com/honeybutterrecords
LE Chau - Chapitre 1 [2015] James Webster 2020-01-24 | This is some 4.5-year-old-school grassroots synth brilliance. I suspect that the "LE" probably means "limited edition", because not many of these songs were ever released. The tracklist is further below. Billboard (/Matt), founder of Le Chau, seems to effortlessly program his synths, and orchestrates the frequent transitions to feel almost smooth. Mixing and mastering is 99/100. The way Billboard structures his releases (too often, never) makes me believe that he consistently undervalues his own genius."Ca commence"00:00 A.C & Billboard - Samedi la01:30 Wilfredo & Jamz & Billboard -Belle Aventure Professionnelle03:00 Demy & Clipz & Billboard - Beat dans l’parc04:40 Billboard -Fux05:35 Jamz - RADIO/PARIS07:19 Demy & Billboard - Décembre09:09 A.C & Billboard - Ultimate chaudé10:37 Billboard & Clipz & Don Jandro - Kiiet12:27 Realmind - Punk13:41 Billboard - Shapes15:43 Demy & Clipz - Moonlight18:11 Demy & Billboard- Mars20:03 Demy - Oozin20:42 Demy - C’est ça laLe Chau - soundcloud.com/lechaucollectiveBillboard - soundcloud.com/billboardmattJamz's soundcloud is down :(Demy - soundcloud.com/demythecymaticA.C - soundcloud.com/morevnsaRealmind - soundcloud.com/realmind03Don Jandro - soundcloud.com/donjandro-1Wilfredo - soundcloud.com/wilfredo_fernandoClipz - soundcloud.com/clipzbeats
Cero Rio - Violet (Rhodes Rodosu Remix) James Webster 2019-11-28 | For 82 seconds, (imho) it sounds like an almost-song. @1:22, Rhodes ain't teasing no more. If you're mixing this into a set, you can mix those first 82 seconds in with something else, and it might just sound amazing. This is almost some sort of emerging tech-pop(?). Trying to cover Rhodes's MIDI bass programming on actual bass, especially Rhodes Rodosu's track titled "Distance", reminds me of piano exercises from Schmitt's Opus 16 when I was 9, except from hell. Speaking of hell, I've designated this channel as "not G-rated" per Google's COPPA law implementation, so if Google text-trawling bots are reading this, please, stop please bothering me, YouTubb.Cero Rio - soundcloud.com/nothing-riverRhodes Rodosu - soundcloud.com/notrhodes
Unibe@t - sugar James Webster 2019-11-23 | This song is intense. Very dissonant at times, but it's got everything you need to strut your stuff once you make it to the drops. Love the gritty synth rising up through the mix. Unibe@t is making this an addendum to his recent album, "working memories".Unibe@t - soundcloud.com/unibe-t
Korey Wade - breathe James Webster 2019-11-22 | Currently breathing, while still holding on, here. You? Things are crazy out there right now. Stay safe, everyone, and keep splicing samples, pitch bending, and re-mixing with modern processing plug-ins that simply give the ear what it wanted to hear all along. Use vocal harmonies preferably all of the time, and go to the beach when you can. Edit: Sample is provided in the comments, and please provide sample intel operations with norththumbsKorey Wade - soundcloud.com/koreywade
Colouring - About You (Escape Remix) James Webster 2019-11-07 | One of my favorite productions from Escape, and a big departure from the original's style (youtu.be/g2xrPuT-Or8). Pop'd to the core. Escape usually re-processes and splices older funk samples, but this took a lot of (admittedly, prolly MIDI) composition, and I think it came out fantastically. Really been enjoying bit crushers on bass tracks like this one lately.Colouring - soundcloud.com/colouringbandEscape - soundcloud.com/escapethis
NATIONAL ナショナル - Héroïne James Webster 2019-10-30 | Finally, an SFW YouTube upload of this track with the artist's original artwork (c'mon, previous uploaders). The sample is Valérie Mairesse - Bombe Anatomique (youtu.be/cljZkY1jgno), which I think is a French pun on atom bombs and stellar anatomy, but I'm too Texan to tell for certain. Whatever, these future funk and 80's-style vibes are too good to pass up.NATIONAL ナショナル - soundcloud.com/fmnational/followers
Loréan - You Got the Love James Webster 2019-10-26 | Per Loréan's own song description, a Candi Staton sample flip (youtu.be/x7dMGw3uzEU, but so many different versions). Still, a fantastic sample flip, so we'll permit it, with proper referencing. Thomas Tonfeld is part of Loréan! I've worked with him before, and he's a great guy :).Loréan - soundcloud.com/lorean-music
Roses Ft. Becky Cole - No Time For You (Original Mix) James Webster 2019-10-04 | Maybe I can outsource a debate: What is pop music to you? Does it have to be popular, or is it a set of sounds, mixing, lyrics (/all around style) designed to sound indistinguishable from tracks near the top of "the charts"? I haven't met anyone who will 100% commit to any concrete interpretation. Let me know what you think. Anyway, this one has really grown on me, I just wish it was twice as long so I only had to replay it half as much.Roses - soundcloud.com/rosesxofficial
Egoh - Club 94 (Loréan Remix) James Webster 2019-10-01 | This is a great higher-BPM adoption of an established masterpiece: youtu.be/rf2BPABhjmY. I'm glad to have an excuse to draw attention to it. The fatness of that main chorus synth... muah. If anybody knows some synth plugins that sound like that... another muah. It actually seems Egoh has vanished, and I can't link to non-existent SoundClouds :/.Loréan - soundcloud.com/lorean-music
UniBe@t - doze James Webster 2019-10-01 | "doze" is the track I was most looking forward to from the demo reel (youtu.be/998b4e6WZ-8). This song's title itself lets on that you're gonna need to chill, and maybe hit snooze for a few minutes, at least until the chipmunks begin to gently sing you awake @3:07. That bit crusher introduced at the same time is just perfect, imho. The filtering in the mix is always changing, and another layer is always being subtly added or removed. If you leave a dislike, it's cool, just also leave a comment that says "because of the chipmunks". I gotcha. This is the second track of I've posted from UniBe@t's relatively new album, "working memories", which is free here: unibeat.bandcamp.com/album/working-memoriesUniBe@t - soundcloud.com/unibe-t
UniBe@t - fantasy James Webster 2019-09-27 | He punk'd us, guys. The sample in the album's demo reel was taken sometime in the first 90 seconds, and then it's a totally different Unibe@t classic: de-tuned, chopped and reverb'd all the way into the future. Really goes nuts around @3:55. The album dropped yesterday, it's free: http://unibeat.bandcamp.com/album/working-memoriesUniBe@t: soundcloud.com/unibe-t
Party Pupils - Sax on the Beach (POLLUX Remix) James Webster 2019-09-12 | Another one of those special finds that's been on the internet for a year, but is somehow a unique YouTube upload. POLLUX (soundcloud.com/me_pollux) seems like (s?)he's outta nowhere, but dat upload history is no joke. The recent demo of "STARDUST" is easily one of my favorites (youtu.be/y-_75YM2l3Q), but if you've made it this far, I should also mention that Party Pupils don't just get remixed, they remix others too (youtu.be/BwG1vQAjthQ). Great, now you have unwanted homework after casually reading a YouTube video description.POLLUX - soundcloud.com/me_polluxParty Pupils - soundcloud.com/partypupilsP.S. Maybe I'll never stop loving CAPSLOCK producers :((( ouf
E. Live - Boogie For Life James Webster 2019-08-22 | Randomly stumbled upon E. Live's soundcloud the other day (soundcloud.com/elivebeats), and wasn't disappointed. It reminds me of the music that came out of the fake rocks in the flowerbeds of SeaWorld during the late 1990's, but somehow better. E. Live's style isn't so drum-centric, and the mix is crisp, but simple. There are at least six synths in the artwork, maybe even more than six synths in the song, and boiii, the vaporfeelz are thickkkkk on this one.
Rhodes Rodosu - Distance James Webster 2019-08-05 | Yes, the intro is brutal, but I dare you to tough it out for 17 seconds. Or even start @0:50. This track is 10 days stale but no YouTubb upload yet? Formerly "ロードスRhodes" (see: youtu.be/k6PNSOyvbps), this guy is way up near the top on the list of my favorite sample flippers. There are times in this track where things start chugging along like the rumblings of some inevitable future funk engine (@2:10), but you're gonna need some bass response in your speakers (cars, aux speakers, good headphones). It's not so great from most phone or laptop speakers.Rhodes Rodosu - soundcloud.com/notrhodes
Unibe@t - ☺ James Webster 2019-07-23 | Probably fast forward to @1:04. Then get hyped, because this is a preview of Unibe@t's new album, which was supposedly released 4 days ago, but not really. I guess the album will drop when Unibe@t is ready to drop it, which is A-OK on my end.Unibe@t - soundcloud.com/unibe-t
Lucky Talisman - Down at the Parkway James Webster 2019-07-23 | This is too loud, and it's awesome. Lucky Talisman wastes almost no time before dropping you into a yuge disco stew, where you marinade as a giant disco ball buckled into the driver's seat of a fully-automated Tesla travels towards you at 250 km/h . At ~@1:48, the Tesla arrives, and John Travolta wins yet another dance contest. All 10,002 people at the scene celebrate with an incredibly fulfilling glass of M I L L E R L I T E (see artwork). Because it's M I L L E R L I T E, everyone actually loses weight due to how many toasts they give each other, all naturally alternating arms to conserve aesthetic muscular symmetry, building muscle mass, because it's M I L L E R L I T E. And that's my technical commentary on production elements, thank youLucky Talisman - soundcloud.com/luckytalisman
iamalex - Same Feeling James Webster 2019-07-22 | Yet another iamalex case of sample splicing with filter sweeps and processing chains that sound like candy tastes. He kinda took a break from house music and did some hip-hop/lo-fi stuff, so I'm just glad to hear he's still producing in my fave genre. The roving synth arpeggio we're introduced to @1:57 is so simple, but I love it. Same Feeling for the electric guitar (prolly MIDI) about 30 seconds later.iamalex - soundcloud.com/iamalexcph
LeBRON - Lips James Webster 2019-07-03 | I can't find this track by searching YouTube for "LeBRON" with *any* other combination of words, because American basketball. But hey... "you got the kinda lips that [unintelligible synthesizer sounds]", so that's a plus :D. Edit: in hindsight, I think my headphones favor good mid-range response, which is what you probably want for listening to this track.LeBRON (NOT LeBron James) - soundcloud.com/thisislebron
Last Island, Alex Martyn - Miles Away James Webster 2019-07-02 | I love how crunchy it gets @1:05, even before mixing in the rest of the mids and bass. You get a little taste of the full mix, and soon you're in a bridge hoping for another chorus, until FINALLY @2:43. Then the lo-fi outro. I think it's one of those unique collabs that you'll never figure out whether it's chill or it's a club banger. Released on the Island Life collective: soundcloud.com/islandlifecollectiveLast Island - soundcloud.com/lastislandAlex Martyn - soundcloud.com/alexmartyn
Korey Wade - Not Too Tight James Webster 2019-06-16 | Is that picture Korey Wade as a kid? No idea. Is that Korey subtly rapping in the chorus? Still, no idea. But I do know that this sample has been used in some classics (for me, personally: youtu.be/5ZYW1d5K6n8 & youtu.be/zA9z4vGzUDk), and Korey's processing chains are now my favorite, even though I might regret admitting it. Come by and list your plug-ins, how much they would've cost, and how much USD someone could prosecute you for if your music project ever accidentally turned a profit and you were reprimanded by Sony.Korey Wade - soundcloud.com/koreywade
Steve Hartz - Let Me Show You James Webster 2019-05-29 | Steve just came out of nowhere. I suspect that this is a Lenno project, 'cuz who has this production quality with only 117 followers on SoundCloud and some overlap in record label activity with Lenno? Whatever, I'm going to the beach this weekend (update: Nope. Nope, I'm not. I'll be working), and I'll be jamming this with 100% probability (update: still true).Steve Hartz - soundcloud.com/steve-hartz-music
Phonat - Light Years [2008] James Webster 2019-05-29 | Apparently, this isn't on YouTube yet(?). According to metadata on my hard drive, this single from Phonat (aka Michele Balduzzi) was released in 2008, and I humbly submit it into the Skynet digital cloud for the purpose of eternal preservation. Because it bops. I do wonder what Michele is up to these days. It's been a couple of years since the last production (youtu.be/3WNXlMhqyA8), and I just hope he moved onto better things.Phonat - soundcloud.com/phonat
SAINT PEPSI - Private Caller (Macross 82-99 Edit) James Webster 2019-05-16 | No, wait, why am I uploading this? Why has no one else uploaded this? It could be because there is no money in vaporwave and sampling in general, and Pepsi Co. killed SAINT PEPSI (tho he was reincarnated as SKYLAR SPENCE / Ryan DeRobertis). But no, you need to hear this, and it needs to be posted, and I'm good on copyright strikes for now, so here we are! If I don't link to the original, I'm doing Ryan DeRobertis and @ElFamosoDemon a disservice, so here it is: youtube.com/watch?v=Ki-fATpXa00SKYLAR SPENCE - soundcloud.com/skylarspence✿ MACROSS 82-99 ✿ - soundcloud.com/macross-82-99
iamalex x Hazy Year - Discobois (Limited Vinyl) James Webster 2019-03-21 | Yeah, I worked up a sweat dancing to this after ~3 replays. Go buy the vinyl, if you're into that sorta thing. Maybe I should be.iamalex - soundcloud.com/iamalexcphHazy Year - soundcloud.com/hazy-yearHeadroom Collective - soundcloud.com/headroomcollective
Robotaki - Pixelby James Webster 2019-01-27 | This track is at least 4 years old, but it's somehow not uploaded to YouTube, so here we are. Pikachu is really controversial these days (u kno), so let's not go there. The artist picks the artwork, and I just report it.Robotaki - soundcloud.com/robotaki
ED. - Interstellar James Webster 2019-01-23 | I've been in a cheesy disco kind of mood lately, and there's some pretty thick cheese during the intro and outro. But I promise, the meat of this song is beautiful, pure chipmunk-future funk. The vibe also reminds me that summer days are only a few months away :). Thanks, E(lektric)D(reams).ED. - soundcloud.com/elektricdreams
Bull In China - Feeel (Mr. Moustache Remix) James Webster 2019-01-04 | I lose it when he says "Mr. Moustache remix" (@0:55), but it's still a real dope little track, and the original is great too: youtu.be/ex9ITwYQLY4. So anyone that's like "Yeah Frenchhouse is died" or "Futurefunk is no" and even "Electrohhh, no" just ain't right.Mr. Moustache - soundcloud.com/mr_moustacheBull In China - soundcloud.com/bullinchina
Snowshoo - Rewind James Webster 2018-12-15 | WARNING: chipmunk'd funk. Snowshoo bassline, drums, and mixing strapped into a pitched-up sample with all kinds of splicing, filter sweeps, and that one piano chord is gonna cut into your jugular, but somehow it's OK. Might have voted for Snowshoo in the contest (reddit.com/r/futurefunk/comments/a43ehy/future_funk_contest_submission_thread/). Mere's sample flip (youtu.be/-X-CHkCVI-M) is pretty great too. Edit: the late entry wins for me, I think: soundcloud.com/loser_99/starting-over. Edit2: a completely different and equally awesome take: soundcloud.com/notrhodes/somniumSnowshoo - soundcloud.com/snowshoo
Unibe@t - trash v7 James Webster 2018-11-29 | Most Unibe@t songs start abrasively, but then quickly give the ear things it didn't know it wanted to hear. There will be chops, ping pong delay, fake record player noise, all kinds of filter sweeps, and hopefully dancing. Unibe@t's relationship with trash (youtu.be/4VIDDtQcFvg) is long and involved (youtu.be/evoy0cxuGeY). Meanwhile, everyone's waiting to see whether or not Tendencies accepts Unibe@t's request to be his dad. Best of luck, champ.Unibe@t - soundcloud.com/unibe-t
iamalex - Move On James Webster 2018-11-27 | Another work of sample-splicing funk brilliance, probably my favorite iamalex track so far. The processing chains remind me of Cherokee. This is the first song released from iamalex's "Seaside EP", which will be out on December 7th.iamalex - soundcloud.com/iamalexcph
FIBRE x ev.exi - Cascara James Webster 2018-11-26 | These two are both a couple of my favorite producers, so it doesn't surprise me to see a great collab. track coming from them. It's not a club banger, but it wasn't supposed to be. It sounds almost like an upbeat nerdy shoegaze bit, but then nerdy's pretty cool usually, so, no problem.
