Wow, January 26th and this is my first post of the year. That. Is. Sad. In my defense, I have the annual record round-up and a post on the recent dusting off of all the Detroit and Chicago music legends. Even though both are written, neither feels quite finished. Anyway, I promise to do better. With luck this will be the first of many tracks previewed on this site.
My eldest daughter got a keyboard for her birthday two years ago, played with it for a month and lost interest. Typical, I know, but that's not the point. The point is that I discovered it's MIDI capabilities while messing with the internal sounds over Christmas. So, I hooked it up and promptly wrote the groove at the heart of Wolf Whistle. Throw in a guitar sample, rhodes organ, and some spoken word wisdom from Howlin' Wolf, and voila!
In the end, what was intended to be a house track turned out to have more of a bigbeat vibe. In order for the groove to really work everything had to run at 140bpm, so it's a bit on the quick side for a house set, but would likely fit nicely beside some old skool breaks.
Let me know what you think.
