SLIMKAT78-"THE YEARS"

Lately i've been a fan of seamlessly blending samples and synths/live instruments. Slimkat78's "the years" is a perfect example. whether its matching tone or covering it all with a loop of record static, theres many ways to get it in. This track seems to do it all, well played sir. Last i heard he was touring with Muhsinah as the bands MPCist (playing samples along a live drummer and guitarist) and projects with Oddisee'
well i'll just let him tell you

POP TARTS beat tape

First of all thank you for listening, This Project was alot of work and so much
fun! when i started this, Originally I started this, I wanted to make this lp with
Only the MPC, in the end, it was about %80 MP and the rest editing. I've
Had my MPC 2000 about a year (year and a half if you count the pawn shop).
its an outdated process, very enjoyable, i now can fully appreciate PC beatmaking.

I want this to sound like a late 90's beat tape, tape hiss and all Raw, u know?
i missed out on that period so i thought I'd relive it briefly. I knew cats that worked
like this but i was only Djing back then.

Why Pop Tarts? cus i looove them! Following the themes of Donuts(Dilla),
Fresh Brownies( Kev Brown)Nowalatas(14KT),etc.

I hope you enjoy it.


There will be more from this project(remixes,B-Sides,and vocal versions)
so stay tuned

In the lab with MARCO POLO

Marco polo returns to lab to further demonstrate and explain the concepts behind his construction of individual track elements such as bass lines and drums, MPC2000XL pad layout, and use of software based synthesizers. Much respect to Marco Polo for taking the time to explain some of the finer points behind drum loops, proper use of enhancing add-on sounds, and controllers.

Go grab Marco Polo and Ruste Juxx’s album entitled eXXecution on iTunes!
