hi guys

haven't posted up any rap beats for awhile, been focused instead on writing electronic tunes for live performance. but i recently got back into the boom-bap side of things, trying for a rag-time jangly piano sort of vibe. here's what i came up with:

http://soundcloud.com/drewzle/drewzle-w ... street-rag

drum hits chopped from Herbie Hancock (with a 909 kick layered under the bassdrum for punch), the bass tone is made from a sinewave.

good bass & drums!

...maybe the beginning it's a little too long? ...depending on what you want to add too, also..

positive tune.
peace

yeah the intro was a little bit long, but that was a ill beat

thanks for the comments fellas

song does take a minute to begin, but i think i'll leave it like that

thanks for listening!

ey Juxt, how are you man? you're not around here as often as you used to be, been banging that Zoom Sampletrak?

it's up to you. my comment maybe is too direct, sorry. maybe you can add some vocal samples in this part?
anyway this track sounds nice to me.
peace
ps (off topic)
Juxt,maybe i will try to pick a sampletrak...i feel this machine...and maybe sell an sp-404 (yes, i'm an eretic, but i don't really feel this sampler...)

no, not at all man! i value people's direct, honest statements

i just mean that, i'll probably leave it 'as is' because i like it that way...but the fact that a few people said the intro was too long, is something i'll definitely take into consideration in the future

yeah man, I'm still around. yup, i been using the sampletrak lately. I want to make all of my next tape on the sampletrak. It may take a while, i hit a block



yeah the sampletrak is dope. The sp404 is a beautiful machine, but the ST has it beat in a few areas.
