Matt - One More Bourbon

  • Artist: Matt
  • Title: One More Bourbon
  • Album: Old School Hiphop Contest
  • Genre: Hip-Hop
  • Year: 2008
  • Length: 2:03 minutes (3.77 MB)
  • Format: Stereo 44kHz 256Kbps (CBR)

This is my entry for the old school hiphop contest. Had a lot of fun making this one tonight. Its still kinda raw, but I wanted to leave it like that, rather than risk losing the vibe of the track that began to emerge after I had been working on it for a while.

To set the scene... this track to me is all about a dim hazy smoke filled bar (think blues club), with plenty of bourbon and reflection on the past/future... and a mix of good vibes, and soul...

THat was definitely different MAtt. Very bluesy indeed. The track had a nice 'record' feel to it. and yet there WAS a modern day vibe as well. Props!

Thanks heaps guys. Yeah Frank I had some fun adding some real character to the track with those little sounds and whatnot. I wanted to add to the whole dim blues club feel, and I think it worked out ok

Criminal - sweet, stoked to trigger flashbacks with my tunes lol :)

Precise - thanks dude, thats exactly what I was going for.

Ed - yeah I like a bit of piano with my hip to the hop. :) I used the excellent NI Electrik Piano over the top of the chopped up samples to play the melodies I wanted to use. Seemed to fit quite nicely alongside the sampled stuff

Giechi - cool, I'll check that out. This contest is instrumental only, but as I had nothing to do with deciding to put lyrics over it, presumably I'm still ok for the contest with my original version here.

Brother Jon - no problem at all, you're welcome - just keep doing your thing, and spreading the word about maketunes! :P

The Reverant One - thanks a lot, and welcome to maketunes too! I'll be checking out your tunes shortly.

Wolf - high praise indeed! Thanks a lot dude

Really loved this one
The Intro was cool, just like the rest! I love this one and its nice to hear something new from you matt!:D

matt's picture

Cheers Pitbull :) Yeah new tracks from me are always a surprise lol. I must get a few more of the ones I've started into a semi finished state ;)

Amittai's picture

Mad respect Matt! Had me snappin my fingers with a flip o' the wrist!

Hey, I might like to lay some vocals on this one with a couple friends... I'm thinking of a light-hearted fun-time-at-the-blues-club vocal theme. Is that cool with you?

matt's picture

Haha sweet - yeah would be cool to hear what you guys did with it. As long as thats cool with Pitbulls instrumental rules for this comp.

I feel like I need to stop shaving for a few days and get all grizzled lookin, so as to fit the blues club scene. Maybe change my name to Old Smokey and start gargling gravel to fit in with my new buddies ;)

Amittai's picture

LOL, that's great!

About the vocals, it probably won't be done until after the contest ends.. But if I finish before the contest is over I'll wait to upload it.

Amittai's picture

I believe that would coincide with the competition regulations. I've been waiting for another hip hop contest, so I'll probably be working on a beat for that before I do these vocs.

Pitbull's picture

Hell yeah! Let's hear it, as long as you upload the vocalized track after the contest ends thats cool and id love to hear it!

EUGOD's picture

EUGOD's picture

matt what is the tempo for this track ?

matt's picture

Hmm in Sony Acid its set at 124.646bpm

EUGOD's picture

hay matt this is crazy right ? if i use that same tempo in my akai mpc1000 that wood be fast as hell bro . super fast!!!!

matt's picture

Yeah maybe try halving that number

The Sole's picture

Yeah Eugod. That would be the same speed tempo wise... but be easier for you and the genre of hiphop to do it like Matt suggested!

EUGOD's picture

OK MATT IM DON MY BRO . CHECK IT OUT . One More Bourbon Of Bass http://www.maketunes.com/audio/matt-one-more-bourbon-remix-by-eugod

Coolboy in the mix.
