As a DJ back in the day,...this was one of my hardest hitting 'funk tracks',...I'd throw this track in a loop and make folks lose their freak'n mind! Yessir! IYKYK!!
When I hear the reverse cymbal in the beat, it sounds like the whole song has the word "fff**k" playing all through the song. Was that intentional by Prince? 🤔
Prince always had tricks up his sleeve like the backwards cymbal sound, & my brutha, I subscribed to your channel instantly because I know a good engineer when I see one. I used to be a part owner in The House of Beats (HOB) and you're 🫵🏾 definitely the real deal. 🎹 🎸💟 🔊 🎶 ✊🏾
I just call'em like I see them, no flattery intended. We in the music world know a real musician and I know that you are very talented. I play different instruments, drums, bass, keys, and guitar & I have a studio at home. I've learned to work with beats & putting different instruments on tracks but playing music is what I believe is the real way to create music 🎶, so like I said I'll be checking you out & best of luck to you in all your endeavors my brutha. 🤜🏾💥🤛🏾 ❤️🖤💚
Did not read the replies, maybe is typed somewhere, but also erotic city have the H910 everywhere, on Sheila voice, on Synths even the first guitar noise is pitched up with it nice cover W
@@staggersmusic My producing partner and mentor Kevin Allen from Houston, TX was a wiz when it came to playing the guitar. He also knew how to play the bass and drums, and knew how to work magic on the keyboard. When I first met him back in the early 90s, he showed off his skills by playing the guitar riff to The Time, 777-9311. Would you please do me a favor and build this song?
Nice job! For the snare are you using just the Linn snare. or layered with a clap too? Also, have you ever heard some rehearsal or live versions that have this funky synth brass vamp? it's really cool don't know why he didn't put it on the released version.
Thanks! I actually used a Linn snare (no claps if I remember correctly...). Not familiar with those other versions. Prince was waaaaaay before his time in music production. I enjoy covering his songs because he used sequencers, vintage (analog) synths and drum machines etc.
Fantastic this was the best Bside followed by She is always in my hair. Prince B sides should of been A sides. Thanks for doing this.
Don't forget about 17 Days.

Honestly incredible
do something real fonky like flash light or outstanding gap band
there's always a single simple line you can isolate in a prince's song. it's a sample. always.
Excellent re-creation brother!
Thank you bro Keith 🙏🏿
Erotic City is also on the small 45 of Let's Go Crazy. I have it in here somewhere
Keep the FUNK ALIVE…. I am a witness…. It is!💕☔️☔️☔️☔️😎

"ALL OF MY PUPLE LIFE"!!! 💜💯👊🏼
All of my purple life……
Love it, nice work mate.
Great track!
One question
No funky rhythm guitar?
No vocals either...
There was a pedal for Guitars called
A pitch shifter during that Era.
This slaps. The high pitched guitar he must have did the tape slow down trick
He did. Shuggie Otis and KC & The Sunshine Band used the same technique.

On Hit my brotha!!
Make more Prince videos😌
Sir, I can listen to you recreate songs all day long. You are amazing, but I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.
Respect bro 🙏🏿
What song would you like to see me build?

What program do you use? what synths did you use?
Hi CoolN8! I use Logic Pro X. Synths came from the "Korg Kronos II." Drums were from Linn drum patches/samples.
How much for beats like this sir
Depends on the arrangement of the track.
@@staggersmusic anything close to anything like this is good enough for me but I need em
Nailed it!
New sub!!! Could you recreate "lets go crazy" Prince?

if i play this by Prince -- then I have to play Rick James Rick James - You and I
Rick James Stole many of Prince’s samples when they were on tour together. Prince wrote this song after listening to “Atomic Dog” by Parliament
I
Would love the have that Erotic city drum beat to play over my spoken word song that I have finished but I just feel it’s so incomplete
I just watched his first video with Do me Baby and with the ending of the song I know Prince would have a way much on point ending to his song.
Outstanding
Very nice!!!!!
