Here is the 2nd part of a little beat production I've been working on. It features sampled Jazz, R&B and Soul records, plus jazz singer Rachel Lole as a special guest.

8 Bar Rule (Part 2)

It's been 3 years since my friends and I recorded this album. I actually wrote this tune for my girlfriend at the time (who's now my wife!), so there's some good memories. I'm also working on some new productions, and have been doing some freelance recordings - so stay tuned for more music!

Features Luke Sweeting (keys), Victor Rufus (guitar) and Max Alduca (bass).

Abstractions

Dreaming

Finally some new music! Once again, this is made up of samples found on vinyl adventures around Sydney and Canberra. I mostly look for jazz LPs when I'm out digging, and there are over 40 sampled parts from 7 albums on this track.

This production is connected to my Masters research paper. More here: bit.ly/2bN6jFC

Remember to Forget

It's been a while since I posted a track... I've been blessed to come across some great records lately, so it's been a busy time going through that pile. Here's what I've put together for this beat - featuring a great little sample by the Aussie jazz guitarist George Golla. Feel free to share and download!!

Last Light
