Drop-D is the dub project of producer/bass player Scott A. Meister living on Mt. Fuji where he also runs a Bed & Breakfast with his wife on Lake Yamanaka (a.k.a. Yamanakako). C-4 is a studio jam.
This solo studio dub jam was created and recorded in about 8 hours of play time one day. As usual, it starts with a simple drum machine track, then fretless bass, then keys, guitar, then a Balinese kecak drum and a tbilat drum and finally melodica…
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.

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.

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!
