🎧 Today’s Future Sound Presents: Rudsdale Beats 2025
Original beats by students from Rudsdale Continuation & Newcomer High School in Oakland, CA — created as part of Today’s Future Sound’s therapeutic and educational beat making program.

These students brought their stories, cultures, and creativity into every beat — some as newcomers to the U.S., others continuing their journey at Rudsdale. The result is a unique blend of hard-hitting drums, global influences, chill melodies, and experimental textures — all produced in the classroom.

🔥 Student-produced
🎹 Made with professional beat making tools
💥 Real Hip Hop education meets healing through creative expression

Beat 749 – "Dardy, Phalthy"
🎛️ Live from Bali – this one got grimy real quick…

I dardied and phalthied up an AJ Hall drum break, drove it through the Audiopunks Telefunken Spring Mixer and a Softube VCA compressor for that analog crunch. Then I took a pitched-up Minta Foundry x Al Hug guitar sample from Drum Broker’s Site Sampler Vol II and layered it with a gritty Decap Drums That Knock 808—saturated using Softube’s free Saturation knob.

Then came the sauce:
🔁 sidechain → delay → sidechain → delay → autopan
…for that swirling stereo pump and motion. Add a healthy dose of tape delay and Trackspacer to carve it out just right.

📱Also… uploading this the hard way after my phone got destroyed by a tropical downpour last night. Praying for a Lazarus pool to resurrect it, but until then… we’re doin’ it live, old-school web style.

Dirty trashcan beats. Growing up in NYC in the Golden Era of Hip Hop, he is informed by the East Coast 90’s sound with touches of G-Funk and West Coast flavor, as he now resides in Oakland, CA. Currently working on a concept album with DJ Ammbush (Oakland Faders/Drums and Anmo) entitled “Drums and Ammo,” “Philthy,” as many know him, fuses obscure samples lifted from dusty vinyl dug from across the globe with retrofuturistic synths and garbage-can snares and rhinoceros charlie horse kick drums, laced with hi-hats drenched in kisses of the Gods of Rome. He has a steady output of beats and artistic works, including live beat performances. Dr. Gann has been working with TFS in Bay Area schools and community settings, and across the globe using Hip Hop beat making and culture as a mental health, educational, social justice and cross-cultural intervention. He has worked with more than 75,000 youth on six continents in the past six years through TFS and is currently developing the Therapeutic Beat Making (TBM) Model.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a lifetime music junkie that began making beats in 2019. My weapon of choice is the Native Instruments Maschine MK3. Every track posted is a live recording without a DAW or automation. I come from a background of scratching records, so I feel a need to be hands on. All tracks were created in a freestyle manner without premeditation. Part of my process is to record what I have before ending the session. The tracks here are those session recordings. They may not be perfect, but I feel they all capture some part of my soul. I hope you enjoy. One love✌️
