Here is the first track made completely on the Phantom Laboratories West mobile unit on this particular trip to the Midwest--I'm posting it from Waukesha (or is it Pewaukee?) Wisconsin.  Did this trip or this particular location influence this track?  

Possibly.  A lot of sitting--driving, eating, more driving, working on music in hotel rooms, more driving, etc., caused me to suffer some leg pain last night while driving...both foot cramps and thigh soreness...and, unfortunately, I'm still feeling it as I type this...  

Do I have restless leg syndrome?  Perhaps.  There are times when I twirl throughout the night when I sleep...but there are also times where I find just the right spot and I wake up in the exact same spot, having never moved an inch.  

Look, I'm not a doctor.  I'm an amateur music producer with more time than talent on his hands.  Don't expect me to self-diagnose diseases or syndromes I might have.  

This track does hold special appeal to me, as a fan of stand-up comedy...and a retired stand-up comedian...in that there are...can I even say snippets?  Chunks (that's a good stand-up word!) of a classic bit of comedy gold are incorporated into this track.  When I came up with the title, I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to sample (though, I didn't know until I started the nuts and bolts, exactly how I would)...and this is the happy result!  

The track is fairly slow for modern house music, coming in at 119bpm--though, back in my day, that wasn't unusual to play house as slow as 114bpm, and there were so many great tracks in the 116-120bpm range.  I had wanted to keep this minimal--and, for a good while, it was--but, Interbay gonna Interbay...suddenly there'd be the occasional dubstep bass, some syncopated cymbals took the drums out of Kick-Snare simplicity, and this is, I believe, the first chance I've had to put some soprano sax in an Interbay track (and then what did I do?  I put some dynamic filters on it.  Ohhhhh, Interbay.)

I dig it.  I think you will too!  Give it a listen...a like, repost it, share it, comment on it, add it to a playlist...and follow along.  Even traveling 2/3rds of the way across the North American continent can't keep me from posting brand new tracks EVERY SINGLE DAY (so far...for over 13 months now!)...and following this page is the best way to keep up with it all!
