Dexpistols rock

The brief EMU SP-12 and Roland TR-909 gearshots are hot. The drum programming and sequencing is so dope, the vibe reminds me of some of the Jam Master A trax. And I laughed a bit, because I’ve been making plans to acquire a microphone. Phear.

Yo, yo! New trax on the way soon. In the meanwhile, I wanted to point you to an artist I encountered that is doing some d o p e shit.

The last bit of the magic is the BOSS RC50 Loop station. this is an awesome piece of gear as it samples what ever i play through it in real time just by hitting the record button with my feet. Their is a little bit of skill involved because if you don’t press record at exactly the right time the loop can go out of sink when you try to loop it. I can record three different samples and play them together or separately and i can add to each pattern as well. So usually i put a beat on 1, some harmonies on 2 and a bass on 3. This allows me to separate the 3 core elements in my composition to change the dynamics and the way the music flows.

I could have sworn he was using something like Ableton Looper… but it’s actually this piece of hardware… Boss RC-50 Loop Station… which is even more impressive, because Ableton will fix your timing, the looper won’t.

Thank you to a friend whom I will refer to as Senor Lotus for the heads up.
