Living Room Music

In this episode of "Living Room Music by N8K99," titled "Groove Nexus," we embark on a captivating journey through an eclectic mix of genres and styles, all united by a common thread of rhythmic mastery and harmonic innovation. As I prepare for upcoming live shows, this episode showcases new material that I've been crafting, allowing the flow of creativity to move more freely and organically.

Tracks Key:

• Track 1: Massive
• Kicking off the episode with "Massive," a Trip Hop song that sets the stage with its cool, heavy vibes. This track embodies a relaxed flow, perfect for trumpet improvisation, and serves as a dynamic introduction to our journey.
• Track 2: Gotta Make You Move
• Shifting gears to EDM Tech House, "Gotta Make You Move" pulsates with natural drum sounds and vibrant organs, reminiscent of turn-of-the-century House music. While there are no trumpet parts yet, the track leaves ample space for future improvisations.
• Track 3: F*cking Hot
• Diving into the realm of progressive psytrance, "F*cking Hot" is a high-energy track filled with heavy mechanical sounds and a techno vibe. Its intense build and collapse make it an absolute banger that stands out in the mix.
• Track 4: Impurity of Recollection
• "Impurity of Recollection" takes us into the fast-paced world of Bebop, featuring a wild interplay of melodies and counter-melodies between trumpet and trombone. The angular, jumpy structure sketched out by bass, piano, and bebop drums adds a layer of complexity and excitement.
• Track 5: Terrifying
• Returning to Trip Hop, "Terrifying" is designed for live performance, with ample space for trumpet improvisations. This version, however, focuses on creating a haunting atmosphere without trumpet lines, showcasing its versatility.
• Track 6: Brighton Bling
• Closing the episode with "Brighton Bling," an homage to the influential electronic music scene of Brighton, UK. This track captures the essence of various genres and contributions, creating a vibrant and eclectic vibe that perfectly wraps up our musical exploration.
