"Dance Music" - Octatrack Tooling Around

So to resist the Digitone temptations and spending money I don’t have over at Rubadub I decided to have some fun on my Octatrack.

Decided to sample the first “soul music” track Google chucked at me - “Dance With Me” by The Drifters. A pretty good tune by the way. Using only that I came up with this:

By no means anything fancy, just a bit of fun, but I never share shit round these parts (or anywhere these days). Included the original sample at the start for reference. Nothing more than just slicing and dicing. Pretty rough around the edges, a little repetitive, and barely tapped into the OT but fuck it, time I shared something. Enjoy if you can.

I just want to say that I totally want to sample the part around 0:53 and then drop in a break beat on top of it. :boom:

A fine complement! Be my guest!

It could do with a lot of mix work and tweaking but I was just happy to put something out there. The bit You’re referencing totally made me think of Animal Collective when I bashed it together. No bad thing!
