Ya-Ka-May by Galactic

Here's a great article which features Galactic saxophone player and producer/engineer Ben Ellman, and producer/mixing engineer Chuck Brody discussing the inner workings of their newest releast, Ya-Ka-May.

They also have some clips on their Myspace page that delves into this new and vibrant release. Guitarist Jeff Gaines has used out Hot Hand Wah for years, and we're huge fans of their addictive grooves and modern-day Motown meets 'Nawlins soul.

One thing that I find interesting in how they will have their drummer, Stanton Moore, play live drums in the studio with the band, and then after the bits are chopped into loops, he'll come back in and play over what has been assembled. Also, the band discusses how they went a bit outside and beyond their previous work with some "out there" remixes.

One thing is for sure - no matter how "outside" their remixes get, it's always going to drip with feel and funk!
