Rest In Peace Trugoy The Dove.

Maybe my favourite ever De La Soul song. Impossible to pick definitively, but this one always hits, the energy is so on point. Was very happy with the way this remix turned out, think it's got some positive energy despite being obviously emotional. Lots more to come in the future, will definitely be doing a full De La Soul album this year.

Almost remixed New Scapes with this beat, but I felt like the vibe was a bit too upbeat for the lyrical content. Layered up the sample quite a bit to get the bass hitting better, was pretty happy with the overall vibe of this one. 

Hope people like this beat, thanks for listening!

This one took ages to mix, lots of layers and so much resonance in the sample and vocal. Really liked this concept though so I persevered with it, hope people like it! I'm defo happy with how this sounds on it's own without any vocals over the top, the vocals in the sample sort of make this into it's own song, and the variation on flips and layers definitely helps, despite making this a tough one to mix, worth it imo.

Peace and thank you for listening!

I first tried to flip this sample a few months ago when I was working late. I couldn’t get anything to work so I left it, was a bit frustrated at the time but I held onto the sample cause I knew I had to have another go. There was too much potential to give up on it, just needed to have another go with a fresh perspective. 

Very very happy to have gone back to it this week, and was able to work out this flip. I actually flipped the second progression of the beat with the more upbeat feel first, then filtered that to see if I could layer any other chop over to have the filter act as a bassline melody. Always love when that works out, cause the more subtle piano chops worked beautifully ontop of the filtering, really lost my mind when making this one. For me when piano based beats are good they’re hard to beat, just something about that instrument over drums is great to me. The way the filtered melodies blended with the more subtle keys really gave the beat a lot of depth and emotion, and I was then crazy motivated to keep on with adding a bit more layering to give the track more variation.

I always knew I'd be remixing this track with a piano beat, I was never sure what kind would fit best though. The original is very jazzy, and when I made this one with a more mellow vibe I wasn't 100% it would fit, but ultimately it worked, cause the verses are actually delivered in a very mellow laid back way. 

Peace and thank you always for listening. Mad happy with how this one turned out defo proud of it, hope people enjoy it too.
