Henry I feel like that track needs Geechi Suede and Sonny Cheeba on it. Lush and uptown saturday night-ish
And GJ your shit was a nice background to some cooking recently. As I recently heard a DJ with a heavy Russian accent say, komink with the old strong bits. Akressif bits.

Komink with the old bits, non-aggreziv old bits:

A mate sent me a minutes worth of a track he'd saved before his laptop crashed and asked me to do something with it. Unfortunately the main part is muddy and not well mastered, and he's got no stems, but I had a go at it. Waiting to see what he thinks. Personally I'd lose the part when the synths and bass come in together as they're red-lining, and just use the first "yowl" to make a completely new track.

^^ i cringed at the Queen/Ice Ice Baby sample at first, but i really like the way that came together.
i make a lot of mixes but generally only put together one beat every 2 years or so when i find the inspiration+time. it's never been my thing tbh, even though i can play a few instruments (badly).
but i've been working from home and with my kids for the last few months (we're traveling as a family, working/home-schooling, so it's weird for everyone), and recently discovered garage band with them. we all find it very fun, esp with the sampler. i also like how i can just make a quick one minute long thing and move on without having the capacity to do more with it. garage band has a lot of functionality, but it's all really basic. i tend to over-produce my mixes (by habit/compulsion), so it's liberating.
here are some things i've done in last month that i like. quality is really variable... like, the rihanna/sza sample is off my cell phone speaker...

Yeah I was struggling to find a sample that matched and just wanted to demonstrate how I’d build an intro as the sample he sent me just dropped straight in and then ended abruptly.
I like those garage band skits Ketan, some nice ideas and the sound quality doesn’t seem so bad to me. Post moar
Dude on another board was asking about how/why I chop rather than timestretch, so this morning I put together an example of the sound I like (partly because it gets weird sounding when you slow a beat down with chops and extra space)

Then I added some extra garnish to the 90bpm segment

Here's a quick mix I threw together yesterday for Jay's birthday with an old beat. I use an MPC2500 and Logic Pro.

Cool mix Rain103, and JefDam, I dig the 6/8 over 4/4 of "Heavy," and what I think are Led Zeppelin drums on "Stout Paw."

Cheers, boss.The drums on Stout Paw are Sandy Nelson. Turns out you can kind of polish turds.
Couple of new jawns.

I've been very unproductive lately, and worry I'm going to be left with hundreds of unfinished tracks on my laptop. This is the only thing I've done recently that's worth sharing - familiar boom bap sample but I don't think it's been flipped like this before:

That was cool, Duder!
I have new stuff but can't figure out how to successfully post soundcloud links.

Just post the url
although this doesn’t work in Safari - you will have to manually type the link.

Horns on the first half are sick, love the hazy ass vibe to this.
