Video:
Video by Heiner Kruse, lots of footage provided by GForce Software, thanks to Dave Spiers! They put lots of love and detailwork into their products that have helped me to make music on various occasions , especially with this tune. This is a homage to Mellotron and all its derivates which fascinated me ever since i heard the sounds.
"Breakbeat Bossa" (90 BPM) combines Bossa Nova Rhythms, Breakbeats and 60’s Mellotron sounds (Brass Ensemble, Guitar and more) with Jungle vibes, LoFi Sound and a good mood.
"Gangsta Boogie" as a second tune creates a cinematic athmosphere for an exciting and dangerous adventure (or just a "prank") - a soundtrack for a fictional movie.(110 BPM), using a recording of the Grotrian Steinweg grand piano that he first learnt to play on with its unique sound.
Both tracks are part of TGM's Lower Breakbeats project (supported by Musikfonds e.V/ Neustart Kultur). The idea is to transform breakbeats in different musical ways, carrying Jungle vibes to lower BPM’. Like Jungle, this allows to create something new out of very different musical styles. Some results of the „Lower Breakbeats“ project like experiments and remixes can be found under www.lowerbreakbeats.de
Also, „Breakbeat Bossa“ will also be part of an upcoming Basswerk Sessions Vol. 4/ „25Years of Basswerk“ compilation (supported by the Cultural Department of the City of Cologne) with Basswerk’s latest takes on Jungle, Breakbeats, D&B and other music.
