When I'm in the zone, I dub-out...but sometimes I just gotta blow the cobwebs out by gettin' silly on the drum machine and rippin' on the fret-less. This was one of the latter. It was heavily inspired by the book "Rolling Thunder Speaks"...specifically…

Aside from the drum machine, this is a fully vintage analog take on what the young whipper snappers these days are calling "dub-step." The distorted guitar sound is actually fret-less bass (as is the case with all my tracks because I only own…

This tune was written on the day I bought my vintage Yamaha CP-25 electric piano and returned to hear that Dennis Hopper had passed away. I fired up the gear and cranked this out. The sound of the piano made me feel like Ray Manzarek...thus the…
A little more up-tempo than my usual stuff, this is the first track I recorded with my melodica. Those things are TONS of fun. Had lots of fun making the drum track too. Really simple...drums, fretless bass (two tracks) and melodica...that's it.
Stepping outside of my normal "dub" vibe...this track was an experiment that started out as some support tracks for a live performance at a club for a Japanese band I was producing about 11 or 12 years ago. I had used a bunch of drum tracks and…

This is a blues collaboration between The TwoRegs (vocals / lyrics) and Norm Harris (percussion) and myself (17 note per octave electric guitar and fretless bass).
We hope you enjoy it…

Another remixfight remix: I gave Admiral Bob's reggae tune "Evolution of my Heart" a thorough reshaping. Dark dubby tech house, skittery drums, fog of echos, throbbing shadows.

A single track of improvised chromatically tuned congas in 7/8, accented with clave, guiro, cajon and quinto.
(For those who may be interested in collaborating on this, the triplet phrasing of this groove may be most easily counted like this…
A 7/8 improvisation on a set of 3 Bata drums, accented with afucha, tube shekere and cowbell.
The number 7 is a symbol for perfection or completeness: 7 colors in a rainbow, 7 musical notes in a scale, 7 days = a week, etc.

Sounds great nearly 20 years later!
I dig it. Sometimes you've gotta give those forgotten tracks some love!
Nice, good flow and bounce!
such a great groove man!
Love the beats - synths - attitude!
Cool dub-out :)
This is fantastic.
Saucy! Swingin' attitude!
I like it! it has that 70's/contemporary feeling to it..cool!
Fantastic track!
Smooth and crunchy! Digging the light ska feel. Looking forward to hearing the vocal version.
Fret-less bass sounds nice. I like the build up on all ends.
Back to my Dub routine.

Packed with secrets, no doubt. Very intriguing!
Like this one a lot Scotto
Very cool and laid back. It would make for a great into to a live show.
Good track, Scott!

Wow...goin' OUT! Love it...T-rex meets Tom Waits for a beautifully gnarly blues-brawl.
loose...in the moment...in the zone. It takes me to another place...and I'm there.
Nice build...and good changes.
No...this is NOT a cover of the doors...it is a tribute to both The Doors and Dennis Hopper who died on the day I wrote this.
Deep-haunting-dub. Right up my alley.
LOVE the long, winding vocal line...GREAT production as well.
HOly BASS rumble! Clean, deep and groovy. Take me to the beach.
Love it when it really builds up to the hit at about 2:25! NICE!! Killer jam!
yet another great track! Nice dubby vibe.
groovy.
just like I like my chocolate...dark and smoooooooooooth.
nice brooding groove.
Stunning.
I absolutely adore melodic drums...and while delicate...this is one HEAVY and head-bobbin' groove. Nice one...very nice one.
Hey, it was GREAT jamming with you on this! Looking forward to more collaborations in the future!
