Mitsubio

Despite having played instruments for about 35 years, and DJed for 20+, and run record labels, I've never made a single beat. So why not start now. This is me learning GarageBand. Forty beats to kick things off.

The rules:
- Don't spend more than an hour on each track. (Be creative under pressure)
- Start at 101 bpm, increase by 1 for each subsequent track. (Experiment with multiple genres)
- Each has to be 32 bars long.  (Get to understand dance music structure)

Forty Beats
