Words can not describe the pride with which I’m presenting ‘A Man And His Funk’, a preview EP of the album currently being cooked up by my partner-in-crime JtotheC, aka vic, aka many other names.

What you’ll be hearing here is a preview to the goodness that is to come, the archives currently hold over two dozens of demo tracks, three of which are presented here.
Stay tuned for the mini-documentary that’ll be hitting your on-point screens next week, in which you’ll get to witness parts of the recording process behind this. Now, click the picture above, download the tracks and get your funk on.
Meanwhile, ‘A Man And His Funk’, in his own words:
1. “Late in the Evening” ft. Baadasssss
…is a song about lust, nothing more, nothing less than that thing called horniness. The repeating chorus “Can’t say I love you, can’t say I don’t… you’re just one of the things that I want.” says it all, doesn’t it? The beat was originally an interlude made by my friend Baadasssss, which I was kinda nuts about, so when he sent it to me, I had to lay my korgsounds, keys, vocoder, additional drums (recorded in my garage) and vocals all over it.
+ “Funkin’ That Ship”
…is my first tryout on drums. I had bought a drumset and set it up in the garage, back in my house in Roeselare, where my girlfriend Mira just hang the laundry out all over the place. So the garage was pretty packed, and it sounded OK to drum over there. So I decided to have a little jamsession with myself on drums, keys, scratches, vocoder, and microphone. Heheh.
2. “Nono”
…was basically a microphone check that turned out to be a catchy tune for an interlude. That day, I’d gotten a brilliant vintage bulletmicrophone from my friend Alex D, as a present. All I wanted to find out was how that thing sounded like. Sharp and metallic was the deal, so I took my oldschool wakeup clock as a metronome, and off I went into another zone!
3. Night Till Daylight
…was the first song I ever made on the microkorg. Started out as a catchy synth-riff, later on I added lyrics and some tambourine on it. Clap yo hands!! Hahaha… this song is about me working on my music in the nightly vibe (sometimes till the early morning), and being dedicated. Also, it’s about having fun and partying with friends from night till daylight. Of course.
