Hi funky people,

2funkE proudly presents a new song featuring Vinablue on vocals! The track is called "My Groove".

Please notice that the vocals are still raw with no effects or eq, this is not the final version. But we believe the results thusfar are good enough to put up here for your enjoyment. And your feedback, not to forget!!!

Please be honest, otherwise we'll never learn...

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CRAP?!

oh man. I'm kiddn.

777-9311 never sounded so good!

This shit is just way too funky. Roll the vocals back some - they're too much up front compared to the other parts. (yes, I know, you said it's the rough, but I'm givin you my feedback anyhow. so NYAH!!!).

EDIT:
Turn that rhythm track into some stereo shizzle. As it is, it sounds way to demo-ish. At the very least, put some reverb on it with a lo-end filter (so the bass doesn't hit the reverb as much as the other parts of the spectrum).

I'm working my butt off today, when I'd rather be in my studio. This kind of productivity from other org artists just fuels my drive more.

Nasty V

I think you're the only other woman who posts here regularly, so please, you gotta tell me:

Is the content or

We are going to work on eq and some reverb, but for now I really need to know if I'm talking too much or sound rediculous.



A woman's point of view would be very helpful to me.

Pffft...the content is an innocent nasty...which makes it a good nasty. Now if Lil Kim sang it, it'd prolly be nasty nasty. The refrain and softness compliments the funk. I don't know if you wrote the lyrics, but I like the progression too , paints erotica. U go girl...try it all.

Red said:

Yeah Baby, I wrote all the lyrics and improved a bit too... The heat of the moment took over...

Sorry, just couldn't resist.

I love this and not in that Eddie Hascal way.

2FunkE has got the groove and then some.

Vina, your voice sounds GREAT and I love the layers of vocals.

I need more info

Slave2daGroove said:

Well, you're supposed to like it in the Eddie Hascal way! BUT you, as a musician/friend, are supposed to also love the technical aspect.

I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to answer your questions publicly.

Slave said:

He sent me an MP3 which I converted to audio and loaded into cakewalk. I sang along about 3 times, just ad-libing I think I had the idea for the first verse and I just did the spoken/moaning parts. I played all 3 takes together and got some interesting effects. I had to edit some stuff out and do a little rearranging but not much. A few weeks later I came up with the second verse and the "rap" and then decided how I was going to arrange my vocals over his music.

YES.
Thank you! So yeah, basically I did the mix down and created the mp3 you're hearing now. So what I'm thinking is either he can put effects on my wave files or I will. Then he can combine my voice with his music on his computer. Then it should be pretty cool, huh?

Vina, you're inspiring from a musician/friend/student level.

Great idea to share with everyone.

WORD

otan said:

Thanks Otan for the compliments! You might be right about the rhythm track, I was doubting about it but my partner Ingmar said he liked the rawness of it. Maybe we have to reconsider that!

Slave2daGroove said:

Thanks for the compliments, Slave2daGroove! But who the fuck is Eddie Hascal???

Eddie Hascal was Beaver's brother's best friend. He was the bad ass bro that smoked cigarettes in the highschool washroom and peeped up little girls skirts. Funkyboy is showing his age - oops - just showed mine too.

Eddie Hascal would be like this major weasel but when he was around people's parents he came across as the model kid.

Mmm, I still don't know him, Eddy must be from a TV show that was not aired in Holland...

These are the lyrics:

I got the groove
And I know you feel it too
I got the groove
And I know you feel it too
If you wanna see me shake it
You got to tell me what to do

You got to prove
Your love can last the whole night through
You got to prove
Your love can last the whole night through
If you wanna hear me cry for mercy
You got to work me till I’m BLUE

Hold on tightly to my hair
While you give me a deep kiss
Run your tongue along my lips
Until I can’t resist
Tie my hands with your bandana
Until I make a fist
Can you smell my wetness?
Yeah, You know that it exists


I got the groove
And I know you feel it too
I got the groove
And I know you feel it too
If you wanna see me shake my bootay
You got to tell me what to do


Plus all kinds of ad-libed nasty bits. I'll have to listen and transcribe those.

Whoah Nelly!

Almost made me forget I'm a married man...


:::COMPOSURE:::

ok, got it back...


LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
THE NEW FUNK ORDER PROUDLY PRESENTS

!!!VINALONIA 6!!!

(you know that's GOT to be on the next record)

NFO said:

You sure this ain't Vinaty 6?

Slave2daGroove said:

(Vina doesn't know what to say)

Many a day has been spent like this

Things are now progressing nicely.

NFO said:

Vinalonia 6? Only 2 knockers here... Where are my back up dancers?

Geoffrey is a regular Prince or Morris... He said "What's a matter? Your shoes on too tight? Let's have some action!"

Seriously though, I sent him a mix with just the first verse and all the spoken stuff but not the "rap". He said it was great but prompted me to go further with it. Somehow he knew I could do it. So I thank him and his funky music for putting me in the mood.

Hurt me... No, really
