Wadup SP-Forum people!

I just finished my first beattape. 18 tracks deep. Feedback is welcome!

This here is a compilation of beats I made in the last two years. Basically these are beats that collected dust. 'Bout time I let them out into the airwaves for your listening pleasure. So without further ado here it is.. the Extra Virgin Olive Oil Beats project.

p.s. Stay tuned for more projects in the near future.

Haha word thanks.

I'm from Holland. But with Turkish roots, we the people from the mediterranean understand the value of olive oil.

This would be a great Dilated Peoples album. I think of them when I hear this.

Thank you guys for the responses.
All of this is made with FL.

I made this beattape more or less to get these beats out. Never really shared my stuff. So I kind of made some headroom to start off with new shit. I'm happy people digg it. When u make, play your beats it's always different compared to peeps just tuning in to them.

I just got the 303. My first hardware piece. I'm planning to start doing stuff on that. But this thing is a whole other realm of beatmaking for me. Patience is key I guess.

It was really good and I respect the title too. I use olive oil for everything. Cooking, in my hair, to take off my make up, I soak my nails in it when I'm doing a manicure, sometimes on my skin, and I'm sure numerous other things that I can't remember. I don't know what I would do without it lol, so for you to name a tape after it means the music must be big lol.

whaha you a olive oil connoisseur MechaLove.

Man, i'm trying to find a way to promote my work. Not really keen on promotion techniques. Creating a buzz nowadays seems really hard. I need to get my views/listens rising.

Well, I know it's not much but when I hear crazy ish on here I always send it around to people I know will like it.

Maybe you can start doing shows or something? That seems like an organic way to do it.

my favorite track is early birds. The whole EP has quite nice drums. Definitely got that boom bap sound.

Mann thanks alot for checking it.

I really appreciate that you took time to listen to it!

Big up!

Hey I just noticed we kind of have the same story. My tape is all FL too and I I got the 303 a couple months ago.

I like hearing people make boom bap on FL. Especially since so many people look down it, to hear something really funky and out there come out of it is crazy.

Yeah well people who judge music with "what its made on" aren't really smart I guess. First listen, then judge. I still work with FL. I got the 303 but I need to fuck with it way more. Made one loop a couple of weeks ago. thats bout it.

you already made stuff on it?
