Midnight Bakery Get Down

108 BPM, 4/4, E minor, classic 1970s funk, A deep, syncopated slap-and-pop bass line, scratchy wah-wah rhythm guitar, tight crisp live drums with ghost notes on the snare and a heavy kick on the one, a tight horn section of trumpets, tenor sax and trombone firing punchy riffs, a bubbling clavinet and warm Hammond organ, congas and cowbell, Vocals: one male vocalist, about 35, gritty, soulful and playful, half-sung, half-preached grooves in the verses, big rasping hook on the chorus, a call-and-response group chorus of mixed voices on the hook only, Mix: fat, warm and funky, bass upfront, guitars tight and wide, horns bright, vocal raw and centred, Arrangement: drum break and bass intro, first verse, horn-stab chorus, second verse, chorus, breakdown with bass and drums only, horn solo, final chorus, extended groove vamp outro, Funky, joyful, sweaty and irresistible, No screaming, ‑woo, ‑whoo, ‑woo-hoo, ‑whoops, ‑ad-libs, ‑shouts, ‑crowd noise, ‑gang chants, ‑screaming, ‑living-artist names
