Drums are Real closed n condensed this time, lil different but they did what they Always do!!! I like how you got the source soundin much fuller than it really is, dig that! Also, vibes are soundin all tribal, almost other worldly LOL... Dope stuff as expected man!!!

the sample was kinda sparse so this was more of a mix exercise for me, and my goal was to make that little sample I used sound full, so goal accomplished.
thanks for the ears, brotha.

This one got that Dilla circa BR&L feel. Drums and samples. That murky Rhodes piano type sound. As always, drum sounds on point. And chop game obviously no slouch either. I see you. Another nice one.
Come to grips with the fact that most OKP's are of the Nut Hugger lineage, so, if you' re not part of the little cliques that exist 'round here, your posts will probably tank like Souljaboy's album sales.

Yours was all that as well... Lets just say we set the bar somethin solid from start! I swear this one had my CPU overloadin and crashin several times, funny thing is, as a whole it sounds much more simplistic than loads of my vaulted ones, but thats what i get from choosin a source like this I guess... Preciate the friendly competition and the ears and words!!!
Def put in extra work on the drums this time... Got 6 layers or so, I even threw in some new york traffic for ambient rhythm LOL... Thx for the words n ears!

>https://soundcloud.com/torchbaras/chops16-august > >lemme know what it is! > > Cause you LITERALLY nailed his sound around The Ownerz album. The repetitive, morse code sounding sample layered underneath the pitched guitars mixed with the sparse, well-timed drums. And the hats mixed real low. Primo went mostly without hats on the Ownerz, but, close enough. Could definitely hear Guru or especially M.O.P. over this one.
Banger.
I've been chasing that kind of kick sound for years and have yet to find it or been able to layer the right pieces to nail it. But, you sir, have it right.

My whole catalogue is one looong ass ode to the foundin fathers of this, so to reflect their mastery is a compliment to me - long as Im on the right side of the whole INSPIRATION vs. BITING bridge lol...
i literally just sat in front of my A/C & a fan yesterday and binge watched the show
woke up this morning and saw the challenge...
took a used but kinda not known (what it is) breakbeat and just looped it... not out of laziness but was kinda inspired by the show...Djs just extending the break
took one bass note and pitched it up and down a few notches... and a couple guitar licks are arranged em
let the moog warm up and threw some salt & pepper on it...
prolly get really spruce it up with a little more work
The same exp except Im in Copenhagen Denmark... Inspired me to hit the DAW Real Quick after turnin off ep 3! Now, you struck while the iron was ABLAZE incorporatin those key quotes that all of us can relate to LOL - thats dope! Drumbreak came thru perfect, not too gritty nor too clean and Them pitched bass notes as the Carrier took it Home!!! Got the whole thing soundin like a Nice sorta unknown breakbeat you just lifted xcept you didnt - you created that shit hah! Synths was the cherry on top!!! SOLID work maan, sooolid!!!

This somethin I can vibe with on a sunday mornin, yup yup!!! That slow rise, able to take you to another level if you let yaself float away lol... Vibe is def. there!!!
I like how the toms play along w the kick underneath, does wonders for the rhythm, and compliments the spacy vibes real good!
Levels are nice, missin some freqs on the hi-end but hey, that could be on purpose soo...
Change up just woke me up outa the dream and forced me back on here, guess thats great for stayin grounded lol, PROPS on the trip!!!
