urb Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Just wanted to share this recording of my 7-piece funk band Groove Digger - we played the Hideaway in Streatham about three weeks ago and it was a pretty cool gig, I got the sound engineer to record the mix off the desk and it sounds alright - I've given it a little polish in Logic - hope you like: [b] Windjammer by Grant Green[/b] [url="http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=167039"]http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=167039[/url] If you prefer a Soundcloud version then listen here: [url="http://soundcloud.com/munkio/windjammer-live"]http://soundcloud.com/munkio/windjammer-live[/url] We're playing there again on Sat 3 September if any of y'all like the sound of this - it's a great club - should be a good night EDIT - here's a link [url="http://www.hideawaylive.co.uk/groove-digger-0309"]http://www.hideawaylive.co.uk/groove-digger-0309[/url] Cheers for listening Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademan_98 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 That sounds funky Really good considering it's off the mixer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skol303 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Nice recording Mike, I can see where you get your groove from now! Very tight funk outfit you have going on there. The drums & percussion in particular; oh and the bassist ain't too shabby either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be ace to play bass alongside her.[/quote] She's my favourite drummer - amazing strong groove and just a wonderful feel too - the girl is super talented and it's always a pleasure to play a gig with her - I've been fortunate to play with her for about 6 years now - I'm a lucky bass player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 That is a pretty phenominal mix off a desk. Definitely getting the multitrack to really go to town on it, but great sound all the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whynot Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Is that Sophie A ? Have done a few gigs with her over the past 3 years, last one being 2 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
