Wax On Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 word up, here's a link for my mix "Sleazy Listening", nothing fancy, just a straight up mix of jazz funk, library breaks and easy listening: Wax On - Sleazy Listening someone described it as somewhere between being stuck in an elevator and watching 70's porn, so if either of these sound like somethng you enjoy, ch-ch-check it out!

Wax On Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 wicked, glad you like it its the only pure jazz funk mix i've done ,i'm not too good at sticking to one genre. i wouldn't mind trying to put it out, or maybe re-doing it and making it longer, or i might try and do something similar but with a bit of juggling and cutting on it. i don't know how much mass appeal it holds though... yeah its all vinyl, but i must admit a good chunk of it's from compilations...don't tell anyone though! got the ahmad jamal off ebay, probably cost about £20 but its a dope album!

mattnice Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 lookin foward to listening to this. hows the cd selling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wax On Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 shite, i've sold about 4 copies. just been into town and dropped a few in clothes shops etc, don't know how much it'll help...i've not really pushed it yet cos i've been waiting/ hoping fo a few more magazine reviews, but we'll see what happens. next time i do one i'm gonna pay for promotion and get it distributed properly, its just been a cowboy effort with a steep learning curve really. also i've got an absolutely dire sales pitch, consisting of "do you want to buy a cd?"

Blak Randy Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 i've got a thing about flutes... This one time, at band camp. Gonna grab this when back at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savwar Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 i've got a thing about flutes... in a non gay way .... me too.. been goin mad for yusef lateef and herbie mann and others lately... herbies Battle Hymn of the Republic is one of the greatest things i've ever heard... i'm actually thinkin of buying one and getting lessons...that or goin back to guitar..

Wax On Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 yeah i've only heard a bit of herbie mann, but what i've heard's good, i'll try and check it out. Hubert Laws is a good 'un too... i tried to learn flute back in the day, but the fingering is so much different to any instrument i've previously played, and i just wasn't devoted enough to try and get good. been playing guitar again recently though, probably played twice in the last 2 years until recently, and realised how much less co-ordinated with it i am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBearOne8III Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 nice one. good change of pace from my usual boom bap playlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djxander Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 This was absolutely amazing. I don't even know how to describe the music that this mix consists of, but its probably my overall favorite genre. Can you please post a tracklist, I need to be schooled badly. Also, this may be sort of a dumb question, i know the answer when mixing hip hop n shit, but when you're mixing very organic music like this, how do you get the mixes not to sound abrupt, not clashing, and more less on beat? Simple fader slamming will not accomplish that because you'll usually either get a clash or an abrupt disruption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wax On Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 cheers man, glad you like it heres the track listing: INTRO (I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE SLEAZY BEAT IS, I'LL CHECK IT LATER THIS WEEK)CONCERTO FOR JAZZ / ROCK ORCHESTRA PART II - STANLEY CLARKERED CLAY - JACK WILKINSTHE PETERMAN - BULLETTI HAD A DREAM - HUBERT LAWSDRAMA BLACKCLOTH - ALAN TEWSALLY - FRANK PLEYERDAYDREAM IN BLUE - GUNTHER KALLMANN CHOIRJE T'AIME - JANE BIRKIN & SERGE GAINSBOURGLIGHT MY FIRE - JOHNNY HARRISI GOT THE BLUES - LABI SIFFREMASH THEME - AHMAD JAMALJACOB'S LADDER - CEDAR WALTONFAMILY AFFAIR - ???(OCTOPUS BREAKS CRACKER EDIT)FEEL LIKE MAKIN' LOVE - ROY AYERSJULIA - RAMSAY LEWISEVA - JEAN JACQUES PERREYSOUNDS OF THE 70'S - SATIN BRASSBULLITT (END TITLE) - LALO SCHIFFRINMESSIE BESIE - SHIRLEY SCOTT & THE SOUL SAXES i multitracked it all, so that i could draw in all the fades exactly how i wanted, and sometimes with the way tunes speed up and slow down you have to do a lot to get them to mix, sometimes even learning real time pitch fader movement, cos if you speed up or slow stuff like this by touching the platter/record it can sound real nasty. also the thing with multitracking it is that you can really find the perfect place and way to mix each song. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
