I don't know about D&B but this could've been a great beat for Cornershop.

This is excellent.

I really like the feel you've come up with. It engages and entertains and get the feet tapping from very early on!

Noel

Good and fun piece of music, iXaarii. I would never have thought of using the banjo in that context, but it actually works quite good!

Well, that's not something you hear everyday. Of course they work well together...it's music and rhythm. A very fun listen.

Great work on this! The use of a loud powerful drum sound with banjo like that is something I’ve never really heard before but it gives an interesting feel to this track! Sounds really good! Thanks, Torrey

What a unique tune smile Love the groove, and it is definitely a different sound than what you hear on the showcase usually. Very dancy, and the banjo managed to fit in among everything perfectly.

Great work and thanks for sharing!
