Maschine Hip Hop Thread

what up folks,

for those who are interested, the theology 3 remix contest is still running (10 days left)... would be nice to get some competition from a maschine forum member

here's a preview of my try:

hook ain't finished yet...


feedback would be very welcome!

 

Man, I dunno no what to say about that!

Every time I hear that bit of music it makes me feel five years old again, watching Star Wars in the backseat of my dad's car in the drive-in, crappy lo-fi speaker hooked to the window, just barely dark enough to project the movie on the screen, but late enough (it was summer) that I was already feeling sleepy. My first experiences with Star Wars are full of very surreal connections that only being a kid who is super excited but half-asleep can have.

So, I dunno man, maybe take some tylenol PM and throw those DVDs in one night, haha.

Lotuz, I'm seriously thinking about carjacking Magic Mike's truck just to take a listen to this track at some serious volume!

 

Neither do I. :S :lol:

Man, I wish I could play this at high volume, but that bassdrum will get me in serious trouble with my downstairs neighbours.

 

I've been given my fair share of floor poundings from my neighbors upstairs from me, but my downstairs neighbors are loud enough that I don't care if they can hear me. They've never complained, probably only because they can't hear me over the noise they make.

I am not sure what my upstairs neighbors were doing in their dining alcove at around 4am on a Wednesday morning while I was uh... "testing" some bass drums, but they were evidently not happy. I live alone, so I don't need a dining area, so that's where my little studio is set up at - with a nice long 16' patch cord out to the turntables in my living room. So I guess they were either in their kitchen, or maybe they could hear it from the other end of their apartment, although I never hear anything in my bedroom, which is on the other side. Its an old building though and hardwood floors carry sound really differently.

 

Get your ass in the dining studio.

 

Hmmm...I suppose that would make mine, The Bed Studio. :S

 

Pre-Game Production

It's Super Bowl Sunday, and I can't seem to pull myself away from the Maschine! I've been so inspired since I got this piece of hardware. Sorry wife, I have a new love in my life!

Here's the beat I started this morning. Have to take a break from it though, because kick off is in just over an hour.

Dude, you completely guilted me into working on some new stuff. Last weekend I was tracking vocals for the first time ever with my buddy on the Knock Twice beat I did, and on another beat I wrote for him for a spoken word piece he turned into a few verses.

Then he threw down the gauntlet and said I had do put something down for the third verse on the Ain't Funky beat, after his two, so I wrote rhymes for the first time since high school (that'd be like... man... almost 20 years... wow, I'm old.) I used to freestyle with all the boys in the hood back then, but wasn't even thinking about the construction of rhymes at that point.

So, now I have my 16, time to record them, see how they come out, and see if I am really willing to put that up here for everyone to snap on, haha....

But tonight, if all goes well, there will be a new beat from me flipping a sample that I don't think anyone has ever flipped for a hip hop track, or would, even. I wanted to revisit the idea that hip hop's sound came from how it was made even more than what it was from, so I'm taking a known-by-some cut and twisting it up like it was 1993 and I had a Acura coupe to bump my demo tape in.

 

haah thats hilarious nothing like doing a car test its almost as good as playing a beat infront of 500 people and seeing almost 90% of them going crazy and i want to hear that flip pretty bad

 

got some new stuff uploaded! 3 songs with me and my boys
Eastville myspace
Alot of swedish in there but the music is universal! My and affix's rhymes are in english tho. The beats: "Känner en snubbe" is made by Tape-Roc on the EPS, Ännu en dag is made by Flintah on an MPC 60, and Skallar i gung is made by me on the maschine!

 

I got a decent start on it tonight, but ran into some "not paying attention" bits where I went in and rechopped stuff. If I had just sampled into Maschine through Jack or Soundflower, it would have been fine.

 

, love that joint , not coz of the swedish swagger ,just for the beat i'ld like to put that as an instrumental on repeat...

 

little loop I did . One step closer to better sound still trying the mix and eq the right way... what you think ?

You Eastville guys know what the deal is.

iDP vs Pete Rock?

 

hehehe, never
what you think about the sound L ?

 

There's one sample (the one you can hear clearly at 0:20) that can be turned up a bit, but the rest sounds good to me.

 

Love the samples! Man this forum makes me miss the 90's. I haven't listened to the radio in like 3 years. It's all just garbage. But stuff like this...it gives me hope.

 

One of my favourite tracks that samples this awesome Isaac Hayes track:

agreed, although the same sample is repeated later where it also need to be turned up

lovely track
