Hello Ken!
I've been listening to the portion between 3:55 and 4:50.
Interesting. I like the funk influence there. From the mean
basslines to the cool clav and everything. The drums are
interesting, but especially the bassdrum is very flat part of the
time. It sounds like like a sneaker kicking a rotten salad. But the
loops/rhythms and variations were good.
What exactly was the context of this session?
Clav-infectedly yours

Glad you're enjoying it.
This was part of a weekly live streaming radio broadcast which usually features DJ's,
MC's, producers, and occasionally some live musicians.
Spukkin goes light on the bass drum, I noticed, that's part of his sound, lots of
complex percussion and drums and not a heavy kick. That makes it easy to do the kind of
"winsheild wipers" polyrhythms I like to do (i.e. playing basslines and/or
melodies in 5/4 or 6/4 over a 4/4 loops), though I'm pretty sure I kept it straight
4/4for most of this show.
