ToeJam & Earl "Big Earl Funk" 5:42

ToeJam & Earl are funkified further by ChapMan & Joe (and PF, and Ian, and Ronin) delivering some OverClocked Genesis that might leave you incredulous! ;-) Alright, let me introduce the elements:

• Zach Chapman - arrangement, mixing, mastering, bass
• TheManPF - guitars
• newmajoe - saxophone, vocals, lyrics, beatboxing, bonga, tambourine
• Ian Martyn - keyboard
• Ronin Op F - percussion

Part of Dwelling of Duels' Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Month in April 2024, it's extremely difficult to go wrong with ToeJam & Earl as one's music choice. Naturally, judge prophetik music's first comment out of the gate was...:

"TJ&E has such great soundtracks.

fun beat right away, you can tell this is going to have a fun vibe. bass sounds awesome right away - 50-second bass opening? yes please! - and the beatbox stuff is great! what a fun idea.

band sound comes in at 0:53. [...] joe sounds fantastic on the sax throughout this. vocals are hilarious. some great rhymes and well performed.

more bass and groove at 2:48. [...] sax solo at 3:27 was excellent, and props for mastering it differently so it sticks out of the mix better than the parts from earlier. the wah effects are fun too. [...]

overall this is a gem. tons of character throughout and a really fun idea executed well. [...] this is definitely over the bar."

What else can you say when the rhythm is just groovin'? HEY, 4:42, I see what you did there, Joe! I could check the DNA, but I'm a lousy geneticist. /shakes fist :-P Hearing the sick flowin' and fit funk feel, judge Hemophiliac was gettin' what they're playin' at:

"A strong arrangement, with fun solos, and solid performances all around. The source is well represented and the solos all feel like the right vibe for this track. The beatboxing was a nice touch and something we don't get to hear much of around the community. [...]

The vocals were mostly handled well [...] Oh and I would be remiss to not mention the bass with this being TJ&E. Excellent usage of the bass and letting it shine out when it's time for it to, like the intro and the middle section before the solos."

Excellent comping & vamping throughout, and Joe on beatbox was indeed a great touch. Let these guys cook all day! My excellent intelligence demands no further evidence: what a nice job by Zach and his Funkotron homies. :-) It's the real deal, so don't keep this on the DL!!
