unfinished shit from 2005

got the fakin' jax 12" last night, got bored too, so i made use of the acappella. way different vibe than the original. really simple remix (took about 2.5 hours) but im satisfied with it. enjoy.

InI - Fakin' Jax (A-ko Remix) (2012)

this took on many forms between 2007-2009 til my hard drive crashed. just recovered this and a lot of other old sessions and i'm in love. i think i've lost my creativity. hopefully i can re-create and finish this soon. i like it too much not to.

Unfinished shit from 2007...just recovered

a small sampling of some more unfinished beats recovered from my old hard drives. enjoy!

8 more unfinished beats from 2007

old-ass remix i did back in high school...

Jurassic 5 - Quality Control (A-ko remix, 2004)

I'm still alive

basically rehashing an ancient beat with a different arrangement. super simple.

Just one quick one

Five random unfinished beats (2004-2005)

Born in 1987, been collecting records since 1998, started making beats in 1999, using shitty software programs. in 2000 i got a dr. sample for christmas after much begging, then a few years later moved to Cool Edit Pro and i've been using it for everything ever since. i had two solo releases on Melting Pot Music out of Germany, a 45 in 2005, and then a 12" released in 2006. now it's 2021, my collection's bigger than ever, but i just have so many damn hobbies at this point the beatmaking's really slowed down. Enjoy what you hear, lemme know what you think. EVERYTHING you hear originates from vinyl, and I ONLY use original pressings, if you're curious, but you're not. that doesn't make good beats better necessarily, its just a personal preference.

 If you like what you hear, spread the word!
