Sometimes you just have to give the bass some space and let 'em go.  Check out Mirko Borach's deep slap bass playing - we've got the beatbox going, a little synth work and Stringburner!
 
Follow Mirko's serious grooves:  https://soundcloud.com/stringburner
And for an extensive playlist of the almost 70 tunes we have recorded together:  https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/stretching-it-out-with

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares.  Be well.

_____________________________________

Calaminus was a one-man-project from Düsseldorf/Germany, producing groove-orientated instrumental music with the focus on genres like Funk, Fusion, (Acid/Nu)Jazz, Groove and Rock/Pop, sometimes enriched by several influences of our Worlds' Music.
From 2009 - 2021, I created more than 200 original music tracks, released 5 albums and actively colaborated with some fine musicians here.

In 2021, I decided to end this project after all these years due to the lack of general interest in my music and my own personal interest in music at all.
