new track from Parka Brothas (aka Dabbler & Wood)

[Wood]

I posted this before, but now we've got the final mixdown up and it's soundin TOUGH like Ghandi himself. If you dl'd the previous version, please trash it & get this one.

Parka Brothas - Mahatma (96 kbps)

"Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh & blood walked upon this earth"

~Albert Einstein

[Wood]

played out in London by JOHN B!!! so stoked right now.... :trippin:

[Sean]

That's huge dude, wtg!

Jungle's not really my thing but I enjoyed the track quite a bit. The level of production is very good; how long ya been producing?

[Wood]

^i've been producing dnb, on the casual tip, for about 5 years... never really had the time to get in it seriously, but the past year has been a lot more intense... finally getting the sounds where i want em. Switching to an all software based studio has helped a lot too, much easier to manage.

glad you liked the tune man :smoke1:

Right on, that must feel so good :284:
Pretty dope track too, I like the drums and the percussion, and that vocal is pretty tripped out/hipnotising. This song's got a nice indian feel to it, definately different..

[wigglesworth]

yah i like the vocal too, its a solid track. you could probably add on to the vocal a bit...maybe some words?
anyways...good on you.

[Wood]

it's not actually a vocal (i'm assuming you mean the high piched sound in the intro) it's some Indian instrument i can't remeber the name of... a wind instrument

thanks for the feedback yall

[wigglesworth]

^^thats cool!
whats it called?

[Wood]

^yeah i can't remember. it's the little horn thingy the snake charmers play, i believe

[miss.myra]

...you could be talking about a SHEHNAI but I could be completely wrong.

I like it very much Sherwood, I can't wait to hear this at the club and bust out my indian dancing styles :P . I seriously can't get enough of the Indian instruments used in d'n'b... I'm a huge Talvin Singh fan, his stuff is amazing.


But yeah, I just have to ask...Parka Brothas? Please explain.. :hehe:

M

[Wood]

^heh, just a little play on Parker Brothers, you know, who make the boardgames... plus i wear a parka and jay wears a.. erm.. coat, with a hood.... :trippin:

i even went so far as to photoshop the old Parker Brothers logo, maybe i'll post it up here later.... :smoke1:

[Clayton.]

I really like this track.........bump bump.

thanks.

[miss.myra]

Sherwood are we talking THE parka? THE drunken penguin styles hennesey drinking parka?

Damnit, I love that coat.

[Wood]

aw yeah. soon it will be cold enough to bust it out, yay :smoke1:

[Mirka Cerny]

so so so exciting about the John B thing!!!!! It shows how perseverance and patience pays off...so does a bit of creative cunning in the studio ;)
Wood you should be so proud. Way to put Vancouver on the map with a QUALITY piece of art

[Moon]

the indian tune in the background is awsesome

i've been feelin this bhangra type stuff lately.... mainly in the downtempo side and even hip hop side of things but hearing it with dnb is dope

cant wait to hear it on a big system!

[Akeel]

this is good shit :)

i'm really impressed that two white dudes made something so indian sounding!

awesome!

oh and the wind instrument is called a "been"
