https://soundcloud.com/torchbaras/challenge9-the-breaks

Here goes my peoples, feedback preciated!!!

Made the drums from two different breaks, three-four countin the bells.

Made the organ and piano lines from two separate breaks.

Did the bass part by pitchin a nice solo, only minimal choppin.

Added bits and pieces + fx and thats that...

Felt good to make somethin different, but it def. Takes away a lotta "my sound" not introducin heavy programmin... Still a fresh challenge tho.

In response to Reply # 8


          

I gotta stress it, youre the master of minimalism in these...

This is soo simple and yet it feels soo whole - boom bap at its finest rite here!!!

The piano chops are perfection, two main chords and some single dangs that goes with both of them and BAM its a wrap!!!
Simply beautiful.

Drums are just as simple, soundin real dope and that lil da-da-dan breakdown? Ridic!!!

Subtle subbass be the icing, and adds your mark even more.

Maan, this warms my heart.

- I can def. hear the ramens thru the cracks...

Nice lil uptempo heater bringin chipmonk soul back!

I dig the echoed chimes goin from loop end and overlappin to set the starter hit for the verse part!

I like how your joints always type breezy, both mix and vibewise, lots of mid his and air, prevents shit from gettin muddy and secures everythin comes thru with the crispness!!!

Good one man, goodness!!!

21. "Broke The Breaks"
In response to Reply # 0
Wed Jun-24-15 12:02 PM by Dj Joey Joe

  

          

Was working on this the beginning of June but the heat got bad that I couldn't work on any music for two weeks but this past weekend I got to go do my regular things and working on beats was one of them.

Since we had to use classic breaks I went to my Ultimate Breaks & Beats collection and chose songs to sample from, I started out with over ten samples but ended up deleting a few cause I went overboard but I stuck with these six: (1)"Long Red (Live)" for kicks, claps, & shouts; (2)Gary Numan's "Films" for looped drum roll & efx; (3)Funk Inc. "Kool Is Back" for horns; (4)Barrabas "Woman" for bassline; (5)ESG's "UFO" for it's classic sound effect; & (6)sampled Pleasure's "Joyous" breakdown.

In response to Reply # 21


          

this feels like a journey in breaks – its strange, cause nearly all the elements are known to my ear, I just never heard em combined like this, a beautiful puzzle!

Got that mosaic feel, mix is real nice, so even tho some of the elements are very different from eachother melodically, it dont matter - you did a SOLID job levellin, stitchin and gluein!!!

Drums has real thickness, and the underlyin synth provides some welcomed darkness...

Good stuff man, you really brought the breaks!
