Terk

Terkel Dance

Terk does it again with the Terk Dance: Pop licks, hand claps, and a bass line that will get you shakin' that butt!

Alexander Rosenblatt

Song 15

If we had a list of 100,000 songs and we were told to pick one that sounded like Rosenblatt made it, this would be it. It’s just ambient-folky enough to border on electronica but still have a foot in the door in a record shop somewhere in Brooklyn.

Dan Barker and the Adventure Beat Porkestra

The Squeezer

Here's one I call "the Squeezer" and ode to my juicing machine. A lovely kitchen appliance.

Keyboard Cathy

Sushi Lover (Hyperbubble Remix)

The Real Human Beans are honored to be graced with a submission from the one and only Keyboard Cathy! Sharpen up your chop sticks boys and girls, this is track is perfect if you love to dance and love sushi.

Dandy Little Lions

If I Die

What pop lick masters. Any song in with a “la-La,” “fa-fa,” or “bah-bah” sing along section is a great song by us. Also cool square wave solo breakdown!

Cole Seymour

LeXo

Holy Schneikies! That intro is on the 1 and 3! The build-ups in this joint makes us feel like we’re at a sick Euro-rave. Over 4 minutes, but you’ve used every second wisely, so we’ll allow it!

Mark Glaser

Dolphin

so long and thanks for all the fish! Dolphins rule. They hop from sound wave to sound wave with such flawless aquatic ease. Listening to this makes us feel like we should be riding ocean waves.

Zgress

Grab My D

Classic Zgress: Boy-band pop meets smooth jazz with extra teaspoon of… dick (minus 10 points for lyrics). Excellent use of auto tune though and is that… pan flute we hear?

Brooks Binauh

Tangerine Amphetamine

Brooks Binau – tangerine amphetamene
Very Herbie Hancock, funky sounds. The guitar effects are primo Brooks.

Dan Bogan

Tha Mothafuckin Beam Splitter

Dan Bogan – Dark and sensual, “the motha fuckin beam splitter” evokes feelings of mystery, suspense, and near-deadly seduction that could potentially be a direct result of splitting beams. What a sick drum track.

Dance-Song-Off/Blogcontest

The Real Human Beans presents the first one of a kind - blogcontest (yes, that shit is one word).

The real-human-beans are all about fresh, original, DIY tracks; especially the ones you can get down to. I knew both Terkel and I had one or two short dance tracks kicking around so, I challenged Terkel to a Dance-Track-Off. But then I realized why not invite all our friends?

So this is an *official* open invitation to composers and arrangers. It's a spot to get some work of your own out there and participate in our contest.

We're accepting *dancey* tracks under 4 mins to post and be judged on our blog. Any production means are welcome to be used. Send the finished product in any standard audio format to: danbbarker@gmail.com

Here's a good example of a dance track from Dan (with the help of his Adventure Beat Porkestra, it is called "West Coast Beast":


Our first round will feature your dance track projects! The end result of all this will be a pizza party in honor of the winner. But really we're all winners, so we all get pizza. AND hopefully if this goes well we can hold a bigger contest next time with a rollerskating party prize (with balloons)
...stay tuned to the Jukebox of the Future for updates.

*Whatever hardware, software or analog methods you choose to employ are welcome, but let us know what you DO use. It will be interesting to compare notes!!!*

Can you get down to this?

I feel like I'm being smushed through a large animal's intestine when I listen to this one.
Its called "Sugar Bounce"
and it also has a video
