Oversmash (Instrumental)

You ever have those moments when SOLID ideas come to your head and you start wylin’ out like crazy cause you know you can make a DOPE PRODUCT?! Well, that was me today while I was driving. I totally forgot that the instrumentals for “The Prelude” project were included in the download package. I’ve been meaning to explore other areas of music and stepping outta my comfort zone lately. Mr. Goldenchyld (The Bangerz | Boom Zapp) has paved the musical way for the younger generation to follow and continue to elevate. I came across this instrumental “Oversmashed” produced by Goldenchyld, and a whole bunch of ideas came to my head. Be on the lookout for my next Audio/Video Drop. This’ll be my segue as to what’s in store for production this year.  

Goldenchyld ft. SmoovGroovs - Oversmashed [re:WORK]. (coming soon!)

ohhh whaaa?!

Space Cakes EP sessions

So I mentioned in a previous post that myself and my BEVMO teamate R-Cade are puttin’ together a little project entitled Space Cakes EP. All original tracks using analog methods of producing music. I would describe the sound of our project as future boogie/synth heavy/soulful/funk. This is my first analog based project and it’s a whole new and fresh experience. It’s dope shaping and building your own sounds from scratch, especially on the Juno, versus picking a midi patch on the computer and looking at a screen. It’s a strictly hands on approach. Kinda strengthens your foundation if you ask me. This is OUR own sound we’re creating, not a computer’s! Here are the tools we’re working with:

  • Roland Juno 106 & Six-Track analog synths.
  • MPC-1000 for drum sequencing & sampling boogie vinyl
  • Pro Tools
  • Logic
  • Turntables

.. behind the scenes flicks of the Space Cakes EP project!

I finally exposed my ears to dubstep earlier this year, and damn…its one crazy music genre. I love the rhythms and how intricate the patterns can get.

Heres one of my first Dubstep type beats I made. I LOVE lush string sounds and chords so I decided to lace em over some Dubstep type drum patterns.  This’ll be on my upcoming beat tape droppin’ soon. Hope y’all can dig it! 

GYRE. this cat is dope. I remember meeting this homie at one of Ratha’s house parties in E$$J back in like ‘05. He was rippin’ every instrument that he had in his hands. TRUE TALENT.

Musicality is key. Shouts to the homie Gyre!
