So, here´s my late addition to the patreon-contest, thanks Mike, Hannes and Mixerman for this great opportunity!
I guess a mix is finished when you constantly feel like jumping out of the chair and move your ass! In fact, I see this cool song more as kind of a summer hit with girls dancing to the song on a beach, drinking pina coladas, only tiny bikinis on and shaking some... ok, I'm digressing...
Anyway, wanted to create a mix that supports exactly that feeling and that already great groove. So I went for an upfront and punchy character with not too big reverbs and created some “funky” elements, like the wah-guitar and a little loop that I tinkered from a whistle-phrase. Also spent some time getting the offbeat guitar and piano chords right to support the groove more. Of course it´s also a singer-songwriter tune, but getting the vocals right is a matter of course for any genre anyway.
Hope you like it.
