ReMix: Sonic Adventure 'Taikal Drum'n'Ragga'

We saw a beautiful flurry of activity from McVaffe a considerable time ago . . let us refer to that period as the "golden age" . . . but he's remained fairly quiet since, working on numerous other amazing and wondrous things. Check his site out for a bit and explore - you won't regret it. This mix is not brand new, but a holdover from that period. I kinda kept it around as a 'McVaffe Stopgap' if he hadn't released anything in awhile. Seemed like the right time, so up it goes. This is some of McV's best work, due largely to BRILLIANT flanging on a breakbeat and funky interactions between offbeat chords, deep & soulful tabla, and plucked stringed leads that play beautifully off one other. There's also bandpass filtered synths, ambient pads, an ethnic flute, piano, and a nice filtered eighth-note running synth. The combination of these most excellent elements into a funky new-school ragga is not to be missed - it's the afforementioned DSP on the breakbeat, noticeable at 2'08", that really whips the llama's ass, to borrow a quote from those blokes at nullsoft. Just dig that DEEP Q (aka resonance) at 2'49" and some of the jazz voicings that go on over top this wonderful stew of world-beat and electro-funk. Highly recommended.
