Traxman [Teklife] - "Nothing Stays the Same (Funk Bomb 2015 Snippet)"

If need be, Shiva would make a phenomenal fighter pilot.

In a hypothetical world where the gods must work, they would be be crazy not to consider every available option.

Plus, serving the nation is no shameful feat. One Julius Henry Marx may have stated that, "Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms," yet the alternative is equally compelling. With a tip of the hat to J. Robert Oppenheimer, the eleventh chapter of the Bhagavad Gita reads "Time I am, the great destroyer of worlds." Marx led the countryFreedonia into battle. But the bellicose bully named Shiva has four arms and a pet snake. Politics aside, Enola was gay with a lever or two. So if nothing else, that third eye can be put to some practical use (DJ Earl sure did).

Today, however, is a new day. And as the game of life continues, other players must be afforded their time. The turn in question belongs the Traxman; and by extension Diana Ross. Still, caution should be exercised. What follows is not merely footwork with female accompaniment.  As a matter of fact, the song below ties in to the spirited discussion regarding the word of "funk" from earlier this week. Traxman is Teklife's resident envelope pusher. Incidentally the inciter is chief managed simplified the debate with a track of his own.

Below reader will find "Nothing Stays tha Same," one of a handful of outstanding beats Corky Strong has released this week alone. And much to listeners chagrin, all of the tracks in question are unique in their own right. Still, similarities can be pointed out. All of the song in question, for instance, feature some form of soulful sample; whether Marvin Gaye or Minnie Riperton. But "Nothing Stays tha Same" remains different. With a break worth its weight in funky drummers, the Traxman begins an exercise in patience. The tune at hand surely invites dance, but it just as comfortable staying in for the night. After some fifty seconds, the introduction concludes with the work of tectonically shifting bass. Digital snare drums and hi-hats that normally occupy the sixteenth notes in juke do not appear until after the minute mark. Slowly but assuredly does "Nothing Stays tha Same" build up; at no point submitting to the tempo masters. By the time the vocals samples appear, they simply push the track over the edge.

If a subtitle is required, it might as well be "Nothing short of astonishing"
