I heard a new dam funk cut that's pretty dope. Gonna get the single when it drops. But I've heard interviews where he says he doesn't sample to make his music and he has this one cut here that has drums that sound like zapps more bounce to the ounce. I'm mean that snare is smackin! I was just wondering what drum machine has those sounds? I just think it's cool how he using old gear to do his beats.

Saw him and the rest of the gang last weekend when they perfomed here in Stockholm. He opened the set playing some incredible shit.
By the way. Cool blog. Thanks.
I'm playing out his music a lot and the guys seems to be quite nice.
It's fun that he's singing at his live appearances but I'm somehow happy he doesn't on his records.

WOOO, that EP is
Thought I might add I cant wait for his album
imo this is way better than the O.G
b/w
sad but true in terms of reaching bigger audience than the music nerds. when was the last time there was an instrumental artist/song/album that went "prime-time"?
so, putting biggie over was the no brainer...to feed the sheep.
as of recent i cant recall any inst music that made any noise within mainstream. take it back to rainforest/ paul hardcastle, sun palace/rude movements, kasso.......
however in the world of deep house...theres maaaad releases.
Did you grab this one?
Wavelength
that's exactly what i meant too. your remix w/dams beat >> o.g. biggie version
For real thats the joints right there !
Yes, I rarely sample becuase I don't need 2. But, when or if I ever decide 2 include this 'artform' in my music it will always be the DRUMS & NOT someone else's actual notes, per say.
In "Hood Pass Intact", the' claps' from "More Bounce To The Once" by ZAPP were sampled & chopped and the downbeat or 'the 1' of the kick & bass are used. It was done with the MPC 2000XL and 'all original music' was played by me on top.
Again, when it comes 2 samples in my music, I've NEVER used actual music from another artist recordings. Only the DRUMS and that's basically like 1% percent of the time out of 100% that I ever use the 'art of sampling' in that way.
This will ALWAYS remain 'the way' for me.
Now that we have these facts explained in regards 2 my NEW JOINT coming out on 12" this May, I hope U will continue 2 enjoy my musical creations 2 the fullest, without dissecting so hard! LOL!!
Here is "Hood Pass Intact" 4 U:
