Bass giants Johnson and Victor Wooten appeared on Joynet’s album Drum Alarm (Motionless), as well, alternating tracks with Joynet’s frequent bassist Ronaldo Nascimento. It is the latter who lays down the fat groove on Joynet’s “Divin’,” a sizzling slab of funk driven by the drummer’s slippery backbeat and boogaloo piano. Further thickening the roux is guitarist Jonas Mo, who adds percolating rhythms throughout. And when the track is really boiling, Joynet spices the mix with some tasty synth runs. The tune has proven a durable one for the drummer, who’s included it on a few or his releases, and with its Meters-like party feel, who could blame him?
