The first 4 songs are made using an SP-404,, Korg EA-1, and a Microkorg.

Your sound is very futuristic, which is dope
reminds me of El-P in a way, your music nor you sound like him, but it sounds like a lot of different synths making some crazy (in a good way) sound, you know?

how long you been rhyming? just curious, what do you like more, or do you look at it like, if you only make a beat without rhyming to it, it feels incomplete? i know its a random question lol
keep it up, peace & respect

I hear a lot of anti-pop consortium influences, but not in a copy-cat way, I don't know about your flow but it is definitely original, in a good way, not in a 'shut the f*ck up way'. Keep up the good work. You have clearly developed your own style and sound which I can only applaud.

Thanks for listening guys... I appreciate it. I've been trying to rhyme for about 8 years or so...but I guess I take it a bit more serious now than I used to. I'd probably make beats only if I knew someone else who rhymed...because I hate doing vocals. However, people complement my rhymes more than my beats these days...so who knows...and I do enjoy writing the rhymes. Maybe it is because my beats would feel like they are missing something...that I rhyme... who knows. I try to have my own sound...but it is hard...you guys picked up on a few of my influences.

I like what I've heard from you guys as well. Where can I hear your stuff soopa?

Sure, I start with the SP-404. All drums and samples are put together in this box to get the backbone of the track. Nothing that crazy... some reversing and time manipulation of samples, but no internal effects from the SP-404 were used.

Then once the loop is made, I made basslines with the Korg EA-1. Again, nothing crazy...just made sure the bassline fit the loop...and tweaked the filters to my liking.

Then dumped it all in to Logic as seperate tracks for effecting. Mostly Logic's internal plug-ins and Camelphat (mostly compression, distortion, and bit crushing). Then I laid down vocals and some leads from the Korg Microkorg over the top of the beat. The leads have what's called an autowah effect...that will put a wah filter on the original sound and autopan it as well.
