I need someone who just don't make beats.. I like transitions and colour in songs. Need to be able to play piano. Familiar with world /soul/funk/jazz/hip hop/lounge and electronica. I want to make music with beautiful chords filled with color such as a fender rhodes sound with hot percussion and nasty funky bass lines, hot flute, but still sexy and groovy. I would like the beat to lay in the pocket really nice..I don't want a generic sound.... I need HOOOOTNESS!!! I want people to feel high when they hear the music!! Like they gonna dayum near ORGASM....feel me??
