The Deceptions  "Of All The Hearts"

2 of my latest tracks.

1.  "Keepy Uppy" an EDM Daft Punk inspired track

2. "Don't Be Trip-Hop" a hip-hop instrumental / a very Stones Throw Record inspired beat.

Shout out to Vex Ruffin and Mad Lib!

Keepy Uppy x Don't Be Trip-Hop

6 more tracks in a mix.
1. "Funk Slaps" - Hip-Hop Instrumental

2. "Miami Bass" - Slowed Down Latin Trap - somewhat inspired by the late 80's Miami Bass hip-hop sound

3. "Zoomba Cha-Cha" - Another Synth Funk-Pop sound.  I can imagine people doing a Zoomba class to this beat.

4. "Another Coast" - Synth Funk Pop - I have been gravitating towards this genre as I grew up in San Francisco.  Somewhat inspired by the G-funk, Gap Band, and Tuxedo

5. "Grindstone" - Drum n' Bass 

6. "59 Dude" - A Soulful Hip-Hop sound - made at 10:59 p.m. at night

I don't own the rights to either of these tracks.  

Probably some of my best work, yet.  

I did a remix / mash-up of Gorrillaz's "Stylo" with Marvin Gaye's "I Want You."

I Want You Stylo

Bossa Nova and Hip-Hop beats together like this!

Sade Da Boss

I woke up with my own song stuck in my head, so uploaded them:
1. "Keep Going" another Nile Rodgers & Daft Punk uptempo funk synth track
2. "Right Hook, Left Eye," - slowed down hip-hop instrumental beat
3. "R-TU-D" - another west coast influenced hip-hop instrumental beat
4. "Sunsetting" - final west coast influenced hip-hop instrumental beat.  I can just imagine Nate Dogg, Snoop Dogg, Eazy-E, and Dr. Dre on this beat.  

Peace!

Close Encounter With Herby Hancock

Pat Van Dyke about Benny Sings and the remix: 

I first heard of Benny Sings only recently when we both appeared on Jakarta Records' compilation; 'Winter In Jakarta' in late 2014.  I quickly dug through his expansive catalog and realized that I was late to the party, and that Benny had been releasing records since the early 2000's.  Now both me and my kids love his music - in fact, they know every frame of every video in his YouTube catalog. :) He's an incredible songwriter and producer. 

I made an effort to go see him when he played in New York and reached out to him about the potential of working together.  When I was asked to work on a remix from 'Studio', I was excited to get the chance to re-work 'Black & Blue"  Originally, a laid back and sunny tune, I wanted to keep that bossa nova-esque feel by layering my vintage Rhythm Ace drum machine with some simple programmed 909 kick and snare, sprinkled with some DMX tom fills - referencing those epic synth toms heard on Benny's recent recordings like 'Shoebox Money' and 'Who's Fault'.  I recorded the live guitar, bass, and synth parts to give it more of a 'four on the floor' feel, and re-played the original bass line Benny wrote.  It was all played, recorded, and mixed by me at my modest Jersey City studio with the exception of the flute solo played by Zac Colwell - 1/2 of the creative powerhouse known as 'Fancy Colors' and a frequent collaborator of mine.  Enjoy!

From the album "Dice Game"

About the album:
Someone once said that life's a gamble. Kinda like shootin dice in an alley. The risk is high but the gain is higher, and when it's all said and done, you hold your breath and collect your dues. W ith lyrics that grip like a handful of ones, and beats that hit like ivory on cement, this album is just that, a Dice Game.
