STARBLASTER /// 2am Funk Dance Party

[@hughbarton5743]

Well one could discuss this for hours: fabulous mixing, guitars locked beautifully together, keys just rolling it along, drummer deep in the pocket, always focused as great drummers are on the "one".... but then there's Nicole....in front, on the backline, in the middle of the mix....Fellas: great job...but this one belongs to the lady with the bass....fantastic, all! Thanks so much!

[@cbglassiii9362]

I swear, nobody looks like they're having more fun on the keyboard than Jack. His enthusiasm is always fun to see. 😊

[@mikefredbass]

Because it was fine for the first 3 or 4 minutes, then it’s just boring af.

[@manningbartlett522]

Bass players of the world - watch and listen, for this is the very definition of being "in the pocket". Glorious stuff.

[@williamhogan2744]

1:12 her g isn't intoned, sharp in upper register

[@satsukikorin]

@@williamhogan2744 and yet, still in the pocket.

[@deanroddey2881]

@@satsukikorin Hey, if we just spent ten times longer editing it in the computer than they spent playing it, it could be absolutely perfect, and utterly lifeless, like good modern music should be.

[@rolandbush8463]

No horns, no lyrics = a no on the funk.

[@swamilainen]

@William Hogan I guess that's just your way of trying to stir up shiite! LOL Their is no "g" at 1:12. There is no issue with intonation either. LOL I certainly hope it's not a serious observation as that would prove you tone deaf.

[@checkmate545]

Nicole's bass is the glue to this song...bravo girl 💖

[@crbondur]

Too true. Real funk has some BASS! Felt like they kind of "hid" her bass line.

[@alvehyanna]

Watching her makes me want a bass again (guitar player here). Some funky fucking sick groove going on there.

[@julienz2024]

@@crbondur I'm listening to this on headphones. her bass sticks out plenty

[@fraggan753]

the bass is ALWAYS the glue to a song tbh

[@Lozonbass]

Nicole’s bass line cuts through the mix especially with air pods on 😀👍

[@StJayLinski]

I feel like the sound engineer deserves some recognition here! Band obviously on fire, as always. Truly inspirational.

[@fheering]

Caleb Parker is a true master of such craft!

[@SempreGumby]

Yes. Nothing hidden. Pick out all the instruments.

[@WisdomHouseCreative]

I usually agree with his mixes. On this one, the kick seems way too loud and boomy.

[@AaronFitzgerald]

Caleb Parker is the master (no pun intended)

[@zackw4941]

@@WisdomHouseCreative Try raising your subwoofer(s) off the floor and add some isolation feet. I have been experimenting with cinder blocks recently :)

[@EMalX23b]

All y’all awesome! That bass player… holdin’ it the f down! Long live Scary Pockets. It makes my day when new muse drop from you’s. Thanks forever.

[@siglavikingkearns8108]

I thought she could have stretched it out and shown off a little in some of the quiet sections. JMHO

[@SempreGumby]

Obviously the World Needs More Funk. I am convinced.

[@ericd.5306]

Damn right ! 🎸🎹🎤😎

[@nickcarlson6860]

Well said. The world DOES need more funk.

[@skyblue5220]

I agree with you.

[@oldschoolfunkster1]

Funk NEVER gets old.

[@benoitcoste1092]

I like the part where you said obviously.

[@kylehynes2888]

the precision and clarity of that bass! Damn, Nicole killing it! On another level

[@senorbe]

I love it when Otis drops the toms!

[@jameswalkerbassandkeyboard7644]

Scratched my knees trying to crawl out of that groove I fell into. Some 1970's Headhunters vibe going on.

[@mikegleim5241]

Headhunters comp nailed!

[@marksopinionservice]

@@mikegleim5241 - yeah that's it! I was thinking Doin' It, but you're right. and man when they dig in deeper from 13:55 for a few minutes, it's just killer isn't it?

[@brianhunt4164]

If people got to choose a soundtrack for when they walk around the town, this on a loop would be my choice.

[@nelsonlugo45]

Yes!

[@mativasquezdlc]

i can see it so clearly, everyone dance-walking through the day

[@Ellwoodian]

Great o do a workout routine to

[@fadjsccausa]

My days don't start 'till I've listened this special gem!

[@ExtraFancy96]

This is sick, can't wait till 3am funk dance party lol

[@timsplinter1321]

At nearly 20 min long, you won't have to wait long!

[@SoerenAU]

Right you are, friend, total ly Sick !!!! :-P :-) 😀 Mvh Søren.

[@PaTcHiZzEl]

your time is now

[@aaronl3460]

Can't wait til 4 am funk dance party

[@jeremyromand]

From the future….. Its really sick!!!!!!

[@iansampson2477]

As a drummer, I am in love with Nicole.

[@piano4928]

this is the best band formation I have ever listened to in Scary Pockets. You know it's the funkiest when they team up all together.

[@willf.5608]

Funk is it's own REWARD...🤘🏾

[@matto9734]

Thank you all for doing stuff like this! Everyone is killing it and the interaction... and Nicole is burying the Groove on the BASS!

[@DanJanTube]

guys I need an hour long instrumental album from you on my desk by monday. I apologize for the short notice but it's an emergency

[@TheMirolab]

What a rare treat.... to have 19 minutes of pure un-interrupted GROOVE!! Where's the funk aerobics class??

[@EigenARtich]

ist es nicht traumhaft schön zu sehen, wie so viele tolle Männer sich einer wunderbaren Frau, für diesen Moment, unterzuordnen. Freudig und mit soviel Liebe.

[@pvnova]

Smooooooth

[@karloaquino7504]

Can anyone listen to this and not bop their heads to the groove? Impossible

[@mikegleim5241]

Just loooove how it's such a slow cooker of a song! Taking your damn sweet time getting to each next section! Building and building. I can totally see an edit of this being used in big budget heist flick: y'know, the montage where the planning happens and the caper begins...

[@checkmate545]

You know what Mike, I agree with every word you say...a sort of new Oceans film with Sandra Bullock and the girls again - it's that bass of Nicole, that adds the mystery to it all 💖

[@checkmate545]

I've asked them kindly to add strings and a horn section to the remake 😆

[@Wtfdawg321]

Best bass groove of all these jams

[@turzvuk]

Отличное исполнение, богатый, насыщенный звук. За это я вас и люблю

[@ct9700]

Oh man, this is amazing. Now imagine this with some brass!

[@artsolano6762]

Wow … this sizzles . It goes on forever and I don’t want it to end . Very talented musicians .. all of them

[@robgreen94]

Nicole Row is just out of this world 😍

[@2coolwheels139]

Love this! Free flowing Funk!

[@sundialmusicproductions2346]

Those SENDS to FX channels (panned LEFT and RIGHT) for reverb and delay are freakin' awesome!! Great mix audio TEAM!!

[@siscoismyhomey]

Yes! Kraz and Otis in the mix is what I needed!

[@stub2022]

Funktastic.

[@MC-qe5qb]

Great stuff. Thanks 😊I love how Jack always looks like he’s having the time of his life

[@keinname629]

he definitely is

[@Ellwoodian]

This is my new 20 min exercise routine music! I'm 66, not in too bad shape, and if this doesn't get up, on your feet, and moving, then nothing will.

[@LuisRuizGuate]

nobody, nobody, enjoys more than the keyboard guy.... I'm always amazed at his enthusiasm on his music. We all should be this emotional at playing

[@brianspenst1374]

Ok, I am playing my nerd card here but that drum groove in the halfway point makes me think of another funk groove from the late 70s. When Meco did his Star Wars Disco album he needed to fill side B on the LP. He brought in a street drumming group and put his disco orchestra on top. Your drum groove brings me back to Other Galactic Funk from side B of that album.

[@LeSchosch]

man otis always hits the beat so damn tight

[@slowerpicker]

With the luxury of video we see how much fun everyone is having and the great communication between the players. How they kept all the sections straight through 20 min is beyond me. Professionals, of course, but then Ryan fooling with the pedals and everyone looking over like okay what's next -- pure childish glee.

[@coreydhughes]

PLEASE DO A 3AM... or another like this. I love these so much

[@rgslvstr6757]

The rhythm section was totally vibing & spot on!!!

[@monoymono9]

This bassist is all over funky and fitting right in! That guitar riff motif floating throughout the entire song gives a little Red Hot Chili Peppers.

[@steelandglass]

It’s SOOO much fun to stumble onto a new cut (new to me) and be hooked from the first beat. So many times jammed with my buddies real late at night for two or three hours of random crap something bubbles to the top and in the moment when it’s golden everyone knows it at the same instant .. we harp on it for a bit, refine it tune it repeat it and a brand new riff is born, we all smile and grin like parent looking at a new baby … so many of those random riffs have been the seeds of brand new cuts ….. I love seeing creative people having fun and writing great sh*t. Thanks for the big grin all over my face …. HOT STUFF

[@Nick_Barre]

Stunning deep-pocket groove. All hail the Scary Pockets.

[@XC-Fly]

That`s so dope! Love it ! No horns, just synth... feels like a relaxing ride in the chair, with good vibes spreading speakers...

[@eliotgillum]

That bass line where you have to stop what you're doing, go back, and hear it again: 5:18

[@mustybill9886]

I guess some AWB influence here. You are fantastic...

[@marcus-44]

I cannot believe I just stumbled onto this. So grateful the funk jam is still alive (after Prince). 1 AM is incredible as well. Please keep m coming. I’ll be partying to it all night! 😉🎉

[@johnrivett898]

Now listened to this and the other two star blaster tracks a couple of times. This is the best, and that’s all about the bass

[@gillesguarracino6113]

Oh que c'est bon ! J'ai adoré Car Wash (le film), et je me suis abonné à Scary Pockets pour me régaler 50ans plus tard de ce son délicieusement funky. Merci ! Encore !!

[@smetlogik]

I'd get up at 2am for this.

[@jacobjegira5361]

no better time to funk than at 2am 😌

[@sylvioinferno7638]

Drum'N Bass are incredible, the maxumum groove ! The Funk's spirit !

[@corykendall361]

What a gift this is! Such a pleasure listening to this at 2am, on my lunch break, first thing in the morning while I make coffee...never a bad time to hear amazing music like this. Keep it coming :)

[@harambass_p]

I was 🚀 With all those Soundscapes… 🪐🌘 Supercool music. 🎵🔥💯❤️

[@reynardgordon3751]

3 Michelin stars! Some of the tastiest licks ever!

[@stub2022]

This is far out and solid and right on.

[@jamesconger8509]

Wow. Tight. Bass is an extra treat.

[@marcsullivan7987]

I love the pocket, and don’t mind staying there…but I wouldn’t mind some rippin solos here and there too

[@btRU_funQsta]

mebbe the implication is "bring YOUR solo!" - sorry, a muso can't resist 19 minutes of groove being laid down, as provocation to shred all over that delectable funk stew!

[@tristanbouchonnet1461]

Listened to it on spotify this morning (i'm in france so a few hours after it was up) and knew all day long that I had to WATCH your music !! That's how great you guys are ! You are amazing to listen but we enjoy watching you playing ! Because you love each other and you have sooooo much fun ! I envy you ! Keep doing it ! I'll be there, always

[@codeanski]

This is awesome! About 4 minutes in, i thought man, this sounds like The Meters gettin' down back in the day. Love you guys! Been checking you out at the end of every Friday as I finish work. Always the best way to start the weekend. Thank you all that contribute!

[@gpasc]

nice bartolini pickups on jazz bass

[@reedysoundfarm]

I can never decide which is my favorite Scary Pockets. This is definitely one of them.

[@michaelbuchholz2164]

I am waiting for a 24 hours nonstop version of this Song. With different musicians.

[@marksopinionservice]

you mean a rotation of musicians correct, not a complaint about this bunch? that would be incredible. Nicole is incredible here, impossibly good, but it makes me wonder what Sklar, or MonoNeon would do too. And Mr Bo-sandals especially.

[@arcb6571]

Brilliant sounds, It's great how bands like this pop up all of a sudden randomly, My bro would of loved you guys 🙂

[@garrymacdonald5576]

Have you found Pomplamoose? Different vibe, but amazing musicianship. And Jack Conte is in it as well

[@gregornolzen570]

Delicious! Hilarios to play here an coffee cup with spoon and a 'tactac' at the right moment together...😅😅

[@ericmcgowan1724]

A magnificent session from superb musicians. Loving it here in Northern Ireland.

[@ΓεώργιοςΣκουλάτος]

It's like a Bolero de funky music! Excellent work!

[@JasonBlair]

I think I may have permanent stank face after that. I was catching some glorious Daniel Lanois vibes in the back half.

[@jordanlovis3645]

Please keep this stuff coming guys.

[@ИльяНазаркин-ы2м]

Дівчина на басу, це КОРОЛЕВА!

[@alanadams3174]

Nothing but groove... gets me dancin'!

[@Shakooba]

[@Roscoeverdin5469]

Great playing! Dayum.....................Thank you for posting this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@checkmate545]

Guys, do you all not see the potential of a great video here. The hustle and bustle of early morning America rising to the sun. Slow parts, ramp parts, showcasing the greatest country on earth! C'mon guys get it together... HEY MAYBE THAT'S THE TITLE RIGHT THERE... Get It Together 👅👅👅👅

[@checkmate545]

To Mr Parker...I doft my cap, to your excellent capture and all round use of your ears, sadly most engineers and producers forget they have these...but not you 💖

[@pastrie42]

This is insane! The sound engineering in addition to some of the best music i've heard in a scary pockets video.

[@andyonsociall]

The bass run and facial expressions of approval at 4:12!!!

[@juliakidd7015]
