Beat making

This weekend's knob-twiddling:

Drums/percussion sound dope, I like how it's reversed at parts. Favorite sequence is the one around 1:08
 
Duder I think it's dense enough without vocal drops, but it's a personal taste and a fine line at that. I like it.

I dunno how I missed Teddy Ruckspin's samba track up there, love it!

Thanks, this was a good call, went back and pruned it a bit more.

Good looks man! Idk if people have been keeping up with rhythm roulette but this Tom Misch one is fire. Just in case you need some inspiration - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y0FsLaEiPY
 
OK, new bassline, slightly different arrangement seems to have given it an early Bonobo vibe...

A quick flip of Buddy Miles' version of Down By The River.

Totally off-topic to beat-making, but I got to see Buddy Miles and Alphonso Johnson jam into the wee hours with some local guys in a small club in the 80's, and it was a benchmark/life-changing event...

Nice flip, btw!

Put together a sort of 'making of' vid, trying to show some of the process:

And here's a joint I co-produced

This is a 'sitting on the porch in August' type beat, I fuck with it

Yousunuvabitch, nice views!
 
Put together a beat-tape / E.P. doo-hickey.

JefDam: piano beat is my favourite! Dopeness. If I was going to offer some constructive crit... I think some of them need stronger basslines (which I know isn’t always easy to find isolated bass when you’re working with samples).

I had a little tinker with the Wu beat.

This a real smooth listen. The "if you listen" beat is my favorite, love those vocal chops.
