Spit n strings

DFunk playlist

Ha...lternative

 A rowdy, energetic track, that's a favourite at our live shows.
A little bit tongue in cheek with a nod towards those who've had trouble pigeon - holing our sound ! x

This is Hip-Hop.  - Everything 'n' Nothing E.P (Track #5)

This song can be about whatever you want it to ......but the original intent was about chasing and capturing that ever illusive moment of artistic perfection. As art is created by humans, some would say it can never be completely perfect, as to make errors is in our nature. How many times have you been alone singing, rapping, dancing....and had a moment of brilliance? "Damn! I wish I'd recorded that!!" Then you go to recreate it in front of a lens or in a sound booth but you can't quite capture that original potency. Tom used to have that problem with freestyles, but realised that a moment of inspiration, belongs to that moment in time, and if it's a freestyle, then  surely it's intended to be free...........like a butterfly.
Written by Tom and James in 2008 

Butterflies - Everything 'n' Nothing E.P (Track #4)

A modern  love song, with a catchy hook, and a touch of Spit 'n' Strings trademark humour. 

SPIT N STRINGS - In 'n' out my life - Everything 'n' Nothing E.P, 2011 (Track #2)

The title track of our E.P 'Everything ''n Nothing' (or 'owt 'n' nowt in Sheffield!) is about putting things into perspective. When we have a bad day, and think nothing is going our way, it's easy to forget that compared to a lot of people in the world, we've got everything.

Everything 'n' Nothing - Everything 'n' Nothing E.P, 2011 (Track #1)

This track is about the side of the cocaine trade that the western consumer, on the whole, doesn't see. The consequences of our nation's appetite for the coca leaf are immense, and the impact is felt from it's country and place of origin, to all the stops on it's journey, and not only by the people directly involved with it. We're not trying to play angels for a minute, but if people could see all the things that their 'Saturday night gram' has seen, and caused, maybe they'd look at it in a different way................

Supply N Demand - Everything 'n' Nothing E.P, 2011 (Track #3)

KEMPTON Funky House Mix (burning insde) feat Billy Ray Martin (vocals are from your lovin arms)

This track is available for purchase on CD Baby here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/spitnstrings
In 2013, Spit n Strings became a 4-piece group. This is the first single from their debut studio L.P 'Heavier than Elephants'

     "Changing human nature might be the most dangerous   idea in all of human history....or perhaps
The most liberating!"


      When we believe it, that's when we receive it
      Somewhere in the night, we finally see the light
      Nothing is as it seems, in a world of extremes
      When we realize, there are more lows than highs

       Sad, but it's true....such an..... uncommon view
       And it's.... leading me and it's.... calling you!

      It's time to make a stand, let the worms out of the can
      But how can we lend a hand? If our head is in the sand?
      The writing's on the wall, we hear the siren's call
      Open up your eyes!......in order to realize

      We need to awake, We can't hesitate
      We need to worry, we have to hurry!

      C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, we gotta get a move on!
      C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, we gotta get a move on.

      Red rover, red rover, we're calling you over
      To  take a look around, at a world that's upside down
      The joy that you feel, it's not natural, it's not real
      It's got to end sometime. Move along, Who's next in line?
   
     "Changing human nature might be the most dangerous idea in all of human history....or perhaps 
The most liberating!"

      C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, we gotta get a move on!
      C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, we gotta get a move on.

This Set was recorded for my YouTube channel in 2015 and just became my second most listened to Mix with over One Million plays worldwide and counting despite the fact that its totally "Banned in The USA" on The Tube because of copyright restrictions. This "Funky" mix features music from one of my all time Favorite groups, The Incredible Band: Jamiroquai! Please Listen, Comment, Share and Enjoy!!!

(Original YouTube Track List & Description):

I still remember the first time I stumbled on that first Jamiroquai CD. The year was 1993 and I walked by that Disc many times while shopping for 12 inch House Cuts at Record Time Music Store, right outside of Detroit. This day however, I remember picking up the CD "Emergency on Planet Earth" and being struck by the title and the cover, which was plain Black & White, but I could see through the side of the jewel case and see they had major Color and some Cool Art work on the inside. (I was intrigued) Mind you I still hadn't heard One Note from the album! :-) Well I took a chance that day and I was so glad I did. Jamiroquai's sound was so Jazzy Funky and just different. I was hooked...
My favorite tune on that first album: "Too Young To Die" leads off this Mix and "Lifeline" from their last official release: "Rock Dust Light Star" concludes the set. I'm really proud to have Remixes from all Seven albums represented on this playlist with; "Supersonic", "Cosmic Girl" and "Space Cowboy" leading the way. And I'm also proud to feature The Groups many different styles: Funk, Acid Jazz, Downtempto, R&B, and of course House! So if you enjoy Jamiroquai or just want to hear something different; This Mix is For You!!!

They've played annually for the last four years at the city's famous 'Tramlines' festival and also played Y-Not festival in 2013 and in 2014.

Recording of the new tracks took place @2flystudios under the expert ear of Dave Sanderson. 

The first single was released in October 2014 and was called Radio Four. It is available on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Deezer. cdbaby.
