    Dude... this is Frickin' nice shit. You gonna put this out or is it too early for thinking about that?

    You got me all psyched. I might up a beat I did a little while back with some aussie records.

    if i did, it would be a one-sided record....i need to finish some more stuff first, but im so stoked i finally got something DONE that i just might keep up that trend. glad you dig it dude!

    Pretty sick man.
    Nice job... what is your set up like? Inquiring beat mongers wanna know.

    set-up:
    my turntable and cooledit pro ver 1.2a.

    this is the first thing ive done that was entirely samples in a loooong time. took forever, though. thanks dudes.

    I just listened to the whole rotation, and I think the newer track is the standout. Maybe I'm more prone to stuff with vocals, but it works really well. Plus the drums are dope.

    Alright, I'll let other folks speak on it.

    oh shit. exactly what i needed! it was a long time since there was some new proper instrumental sample based stuff released. im currently revisiting amon tobin premutation, wiseguys, even some rjd2, and other old favourites since noone can do it properly anymore.

    im trying to finish some tracks myself at the moment, but as usual, im starting new beats instead.

    is it the soul 69 pt 2 song? Did you post an early version of this on here at some point. I remember the sneezing vocals. Always enjoy your stuff.

    Thanks bro. im with you on the gridless editing. I base my shit on a loop then just hand slide every hit. That shit has like 4-5 different sources in it. We should do a split 7"... hehe.

    this is a track i made for a vocalist who is unbelievably talented we started a project and then she fell through hard. my prognosis was that it is due to crazy. I am still eagerly searching for a creative woman who has a soulful voice but i have not prevailed in my quest.... might turn it into a rap song, more than likely will leave it instrumental.

    *edit* i was sick with some wack ass respiratory problems at the time I made this beat. if you listen closely you can hear me wheezing to the beat as I was recording snaps to layer over the snares. thats some real shit.

    Nice work ako! I was thinking of returning to doing some instrumental stuff too. By that i guess i mean stuff with more changes and not just beats for rappers. Anyways, heres one a did a few months back.
