Jazz Ambience (The Beginning)

A bit less jazzy with some synths sounds.

Peace and Brotherhood

Another older song of mine. The saxophone is actually a synthesizer. (For the freaks: Yamaha VL-70m.)

Jazz Base

The song is inspired by the early Nightmares On Wax. It is the first track I finished recently with my new MPC.

Easy Sax

This Is Hardy Tracks

The song is based on the rhythmic feeling of Lou Donaldson's "Who's Making Love". The cheesy organ sound was made with an ARP Odyssey synthesizer.

Rumbling

Touch Of Jazz

Addicted To Repetition

I started working on this track with a little synth bass sequence but then I liked an upright acoustic bass much better. The cornet was added rather lately in the process.

Here Comes The Cornet

This one is inspired by early 90s Hip-Hop, in particular by Gang Starr's album "Step in the Arena".

Sit Back

Lo-fi Hip-Hop with some Jazz flavours. On Spotify:

Eleven

This track features a bass line made with my ARP Odyssey synth. I tried to achieve an overall Boom Bap feeling. In then end, it went more into the direction of 70s Disco Funk.

Added vocal: Thea (Masterbits RAPsody CD).

Bass Bap #1

Another track with a synth bass line made with my ARP Odyssey. I think, this one has an overall 90s feeling.

Bass Bap #2

Bass Bap #3

Synth Bass: ARP Odyssey (plus an 808-type sub bass).

Bass Bap #4

This tracks was inspired by Gang Starr's "Take It Personal".

Fix The Break

Mellow Mellow

Hard And Harder

This track is part of a little 4-track EP which will be released on 6 Dec 2024.

Can't Stop Talking About

As the title suggests. A bit unusual compared to my other tracks.

Rough & Raw

This is my track from the February 2025 Beatmaker Bootcamp at Melodics. Entirely made with Ableton Live using stock instruments and plugins. A new experience for me as I normally work more with samples. Inspiration for the synth bass and melody came from the G Funk of Dr Dre.

A Little Bit Of Rust

A Lo-Fi Hip-Hop beat for the feeling of an evening alone at home.

Evening Solitude

The synth bass and the whistle sound were made with my ARP Odyssey synthesiser.

At The Green Pond

Welcome to my rumbling beats! Hope you enjoy them. The fusion of Hip-Hop with Jazz in the 90s was the starting point for my musical adventures. After taking a break for several years, I resumed my musical adventure in 2022. Main influences for my music are 90s Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Jazz, and Funk.

Main equipment: Akai MPC One+, Logic Pro, ARP Odyssey.
