Nile Rodgers is one of my biggest inspirations when it comes to funk guitar. I studied how he got that beautiful clean tone, from mic\u2019d amp setups to plugging the jack straight into the DI. I even studied how his guitar was set up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main thing I learnt is that the sound comes from the way he plays and moves his hands more than anything else. I ultimately opted to take my own path and do things differently, but studying Nile Rodgers gave me a starting point for discovering myself as a guitarist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1.7777777777778;\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/51r5f5OdIY0?si=HpzlVbbQztHxWbse\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fleetwood Mac &#8211; &#8216;Dreams&#8217;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Powloh:<\/strong> The main inspiration that this song gave to my EP is the drums. They\u2019re up front, punchy, warm and hypnotic. I programmed the drums for my EP and was often aiming for them to sound in the middle of digital and human. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/feeds\/fleetwood-mac\/\">Fleetwood Mac<\/a> were making &#8216;Dreams&#8217;, they had Mick Fleetwood record as close to perfect as he could and then spliced the best section of the tape and looped it. It\u2019s almost as if they were trying to get a programmed drum sound through the tightness of the groove and repetition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After studying that record, I paid close attention to the hi-hat articulations when programming drums for my EP to help bring that human feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1.7777777777778;\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y3ywicffOj4?si=ra89RLrH_znuSV94\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">White Town &#8211; &#8216;Your Woman&#8217;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Powloh:<\/strong> When I was a kid, I remember liking this song and I read somewhere that <a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/feeds\/white-town\/\">White Town<\/a>, aka Jyoti Prakash Mishra, made the song in the spare room at his house. That was the first time I\u2019d ever heard that DIY was a thing, and upon reflection, that really planted a seed for me. I moved house during the making of <em>Cold Summer Paradise<\/em>, and while I was setting up my home studio, I reconnected with that song again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really love the vocal effect and how his delivery sounds as though he\u2019s having a conversation, like he\u2019s almost talking to you on the phone. Singing isn\u2019t something that I was ever naturally good at and Jyoti\u2019s approach inspired me as it felt like an extension of how I imagine he speaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1.7777777777778;\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lVL-zZnD3VU?si=rRifb4bQuVQIysSy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steve Monite &#8211; &#8216;Only You&#8217;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Powloh:<\/strong> The groove and bass line on this track pull me in every time I hear it. The song was released in 1984 and only found commercial success 30 years later. The use of drum machines, Moog synths and space-like sounds on an electronic disco track released in Nigeria when Afrobeat and highlife were most popular leads me to believe this song was so far ahead of its time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1.7777777777778;\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wGsSAVz1BBQ?si=HKbgydoIAzlitgIi\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cannons &#8211; &#8216;Bad Dream&#8217;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Powloh: <\/strong>Whenever I listen to songs by <a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/feeds\/cannons\/\">Cannons<\/a>, I get the sense of some overlapping influences. I draw a lot of inspiration from 70s and 80s funk, disco, new wave and synth pop, and while making my EP, I found myself turning to Cannons to hear a modern take on those sounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Bad Dream&#8217; is a great example of so many things happening at once and working together for a beautiful result. From the glistening guitar tones to the dreamy synths and ethereal vocals, it captures and evokes so much emotion. Its nostalgic tone and weaving melodies draw attention to the different elements throughout, and the song evolves in such a nice and subtle way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1.7777777777778;\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Fz4axHOyccQ?si=Qs92AAggLnkh0oJk\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Powloh&#8217;s <\/em>Cold Summer Paradise <em>is out now \u2013 find it <a href=\"https:\/\/powloh.lnk.to\/ColdSummerParadise\">here<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Further Reading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/news\/harvest-rock-2023-lineup-jamiroquai-nile-rodgers-chic-beck-more\/\">Harvest Rock 2023 Lineup: Jamiroquai, Nile Rodgers &amp; Chic, Beck + More<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/news\/daft-punk-julian-casablancas-song\/\">Daft Punk Release \u2018Random Access Memories\u2019 Outtake \u2018Infinity Repeating\u2019 w\/ Julian Casablancas<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/news\/cannons-announce-2023-australian-headline-shows\/\">Cannons Announce 2023 Australian Headline Shows<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Powloh released his latest EP, Cold Summer Paradise, on Friday, 18th August.
