Although the original beat for Doomsday definitely has a hint of sadness to it, I made it more upfront here for my remix with the strings and melodies. I also kept that smooth vibe, choosing this sample for that reason, the bassline especially had a nice flow from the chops I sequenced. 

I knew I was going to sample Sade for this beat to keep the atmosphere and vibe reminiscent of the original, and tried flipping tracks from all of her albums. This was like my 4th attempt at and it was by far my favourite, definitely a chilled vibe to calmly reflect on the classic track that I'm remixing. I put it at the start of the album for that reason, wanted to gradually build into the rest of the project which had higher energy and a bigger focus on celebrating DOOM. Hope people enjoy the instrumental of this one!

I was really happy with the change in vibe for this beat, even though it's from a Soul/Funk sample I took these synth chops to make a very chilled almost video game sounding beat. The layering levelled this one up for me, added a lot more atmosphere and weight to the soundscape especially on the low end, and also gave the track more variation. Went for that bouncy vibe on the drum groove here to match the flows of the melody, wanted this to be a track you can chill/zone out to, with some emotive elements to the sample too especially the layering.

Peace!!

Nas/Big Noyd Remix: https://soundcloud.com/tapeheadloops/everybody

When I was making this remix I had a bit of trouble with the acapella, but now coming back to just the beat I'm actually really happy with how it sounds, got a nice full weight to it especially the drums and the bass in the sample. Can defo see this one being good to freestyle to, simple but effective in the vibe.

Layered up the sample quite a lot to give the beat that fat sound, got a laid back jazzy kind of feel whilst still fitting the rugged East Coast vibe. I took clips from Style Wars and Wild Style, in my opinion two of the best films that document hip hop culture in the 80s. I thought it fit well with this beat cause again it has that really old school vibe, and thought the visuals complimented the beat pretty well. 

Peace, thanks for listening!!

Everybody

If these tracks were the tears of joy, it'd be a cry.
Ugly voice that had to repeat. 
Looked defeated as wrong thoughts, no words, lost to them,
end up in the warrior's garden, getting lost to where that is 

As if it was apparent enough, this is a tribute to [ unkind ] one of my biggest inspo; show some love to @fuckthisurl .♦
