Lets try something funky with a more than normal bass-line. Please keep in mind that this is just my first try, so  bear with me :)<br/><br/>For the interested, <a href="http://www.patrickmast.com/Site/FunckyBeat103.html">this</a> is how it looks line in Logic Studio.<br/><br/>PS. The extra C in the FunCkyBeat-103 name is not a typo. It comes from FunCtion, meaning, the song has been programmed, and in my view, a song is like a function in a application, making the record the application.
