The new Darius turned out OK, but I hope he's working on a major album. Darius is one half of Cherokee. Ugh, it's 6+ years later, and "Sable Doux" never gets old to me.
I'm scraping a soundcloud feed every couple of days. Man, if I had the time, I'd sample that Love Apple hook into a real nice bit of nu disco. It's very likely that you'd hate the result, but at least I wouldn't be working on graded homework assignments at age 30.
Let's find out.? Listen to the first 2 minutes-ish of this if you ever feel like you might could stomach it. Fair warning: Once you get to the start of the bridge, @1:53, it's even weirder. Oh, aaaand the first 40 seconds might not be 100% enjoyable, due to repetition, but the following segments should be almost maybe interesting. The artist, UniBe@t, classified this as "Future Funk", but the genre heavily overlaps with "Nu Disco". So I imagine that you won't like it, but I'd like to know why. Too much phaser/flanger? Over-obvious pitch distortion? Too chopped up and/or robotic? Overproduced? Etc. One of my goals is to play in the gap between sample work and original composition. But I want to maximize appeal, so I humbly submit my questions. Even more unsolicited sidenote: It's increasingly difficult to find "Future Funk" that doesn't have animé and other Japanese cultural influences. The idea that something I enjoy connects me to U.S. weeaboo social circles is, uhhhh.. I dunno. It's whatever. I guess any microcosm of taste has some random cultural overlaps with other populations, and kinda chaotically drives trends. In this case, I think the common factor is basement-dwelling*. *NOTE: the author, am_Unition, does not basement dwell.
