The Recreation

I know I dont do the "blog" thing often, but I should start....maybe one day, people would read these, so what the hell, right?

In my spare time, as a hobby, I enjoy listening to other producer's music and actually search for what they sampled to create whatever song I may be listening to at that time....yeah I know. Most people do this too. But, as an added "challenge", I chop and loop the original sample to attempt to recreate the song, excluding any extra drums/bass/etc that the producer may have added to the sample.

Why?

As a means of understanding.

I have learned, by doing this, that this is one of the reasons why I have become a producer/beatmaker. Some of the samples that producers choose....they way that they are chopped and placed to their liking, are brilliant.

Here, you will find a couple that I have managed to "toy" with. I could and would post more, but....well, I need to have the time. From classics of the past to classics of the present, I attempt to enter the minds of the producers, and I understand the method behind their madness. I extend my thanks, because if it wasnt for some of these producers, I wouldnt be who I am today.
