Main sample is from the Ensemble Instrumental de Dubreka of Syliphone Records from Guinea
that I found in the awesome vault of sounds at the British Library.

This is an absolute treasure trove!

Week 1 - Six for Eight

Who knows how many hours I've spent in nightclub toilets hearing the delayed thump of the beat permeating the cubicle walls. This is a homage to that oh so distinctive club sound. 

52 - a music project where I will release one beat/song every week for a year to track my progress from music production novice all the way to music production...non-novice!

Week 9 - Bathroom Shuffle

This kinda came out of a mixture of two separate songs. I like it after 1:00, but the transition is kinda strange. 

"It's only by going through a large volume of work that you going to catch up and close that gap - so that the work you're making is as good as your ambitions" - Ira Glas

Week 14 - Excuse The Break

Me playing guitar over some hip-hop beats and bass. Simples.

"It's only by going through a large volume of work that you going to catch up and close that gap - so that the work you're making is as good as your ambitions" - Ira Glass

...he better be right - at the beginning of 2017 I decided to start a project to release one track/beat every week for a year. They'll all be posted here.

Week 15 - Random Street Imagery

Something Robocop might play while he's cruising around the streets of Detroit looking for bad guys. 

"It's only by going through a large volume of work that you going to catch up and close that gap - so that the work you're making is as good as your ambitions" - Ira Glass

Week 16 - Robocop 3

Week 17 - No dice

If you recognise the lyrics to this, we will probably be very good friends.

"It's only by going through a large volume of work that you going to catch up and close that gap - so that the work you're making is as good as your ambitions" - Ira Glass

...he better be right - at the beginning of 2017 I decided to start a project to release one track/beat every week for a year. They'll all be posted here.
