So with all the extreme(ly hot) weather of late I thought it would be appropriate to dust off this track. It consists of a huge amount of different elements, mostly samples, so getting a mix that sounds like a coherent whole is quite a struggle. Any tips/suggestions more than welcome!



Vocal sample is from "the weatherman skank" by Ray I... used without permission so give it a listen before it gets ceased & desisted :-)

Me likes.
Arrangement/ build keeps it interesting.
If anything, perhaps a touch too long for my modern attention span.
Nice groove, stereo spread.
Mild summer so far here in the new york…
Who’s using the royal plural now baby? 🧂

No concerns in terms of the mix, everything's sitting together nicely :) I really like it!

stepping it in di farenheit clearly has its advantages :-)
thanks for listening, I'm glad you like it. I do have problems writing shorter tracks but will continue to strive for brevity.

Thanks!

It's actually supposed to be a part of this EP that I'm putting together, but have still been experimenting with different ways to mix/master the tracks. The styles are pretty different but I hope there will still be some kind of coherence.

No I aint doing no 'Lion sleeps tonight' remixes, no one could out sing that dude in relation to that song. I wish he would have cut that irritating opera singer out of the song though.

Charming tune man.
Interesting choice for the drum fill.
I adore the 0:00- 1:42 section.
Ray I owes you the rights to that sample and if you get any trouble, you got a mobster from the states who will take care of business behind the scenes if you know what I mean.

Sorry for the late response, was off the grid for a bit. Agree about the opera singer, but other than that I still think it's a missed opportunity - you've already got the claw man, how can you not take a stab at the Lion? Some kind of creepy stalkerish version with some eerie electro chords certainly has the potential to be awesome.

Thanks for the comments and the gracious offer of cosa nostra backup. I'm sure Ray I's squad of jamaican heavies will be mere pepperoni slices topping your texas-style pizza by the time you're through with them.
