FridayFunkBeat

Alright modern funksters, I’m always digging in the digital crates, keeping my ears peeled for new gems. Decided today that I need to be more diligent at posting the fresh cuts I find here. So, consider this the first post of many to come in a series of posts entitled “Friday Funk Beats”. I’ll post one or two new modern funk tracks that I’m feeling at the present moment to help further the cause. Here are a couple that have recently hit my regular rotation. I hope you feel them like I do.

I was recently contacted by my friend and associate, pastor Caleb Davis, who needed a promotional video scored for their church plant in Denver – True Life Church. Over the course of the last few weeks, I wrote and edited about 5 minutes worth of music. I think the final product turned out nicely. You can check out the finished product below. If you’re in need of some audio help for a video project you’re working on, please contact me and we can discuss details.
