3 times as much hassle

I just put the finishing touches to a beat that put me outta my comfort zone. I've used 3 samples, from different genres, different speeds and very diffrent sounds in all of them.
I've made beats using 2 samples, and although they might not have been very similar, I might have only taken the bass from one and the melody from another, or the drums from one and a piano loop from another. But this beat uses 1 or 2 bar sections from each sample. Each sample has it's own part, so one sample makes up a 16 bar section, another makes up an 8 bar section and the last makes up a 12 bar section.
The difficulty I had was to make the samples flow between sections and have as smoother transition as possible, as well as making sure the drum sounds fitted with the tones in each sample and the drums pattterns helped with the transitions.
But all in all, I feel it went pretty well.
To hear it, go to:

Productive weekend

Been working hard this weekend, I had an artist stay over and we got 2 new joints recorded, did some chilling and talked some business.
I been e-digging again too, so got some more crazy sounds and samples. THe studio is getting more facelifts aswell, and added to the kollection of kicks.

Back to the grind tomorrow too, no rest for the wicked

Back in the lab...and annoyed at Jerkers

I'm about to get back in the studio and get another beat on the go. I've been doing some networking the last couple of days, and secured a few BIG UK artists for the album. I won't mention any names just yet, don't wanna jinx anything, but they're gonna be BIG tracks.
I got some crazy samples to go through, so I gotta good feeling about this beat. I'm gonna finish my dinner up and then get in there.

Also read an article on Jerk artists, For those that don't know, Jerk artists are "rappers" who use beats unfluenced by Hyphy sounds and house/dance music. These guys have absolutly no respect or interest in true hip hop. This is some bullshit rap, with crappy beats and lyrics that sound like they were written by a 12 year old kid.
So for the record...I don't class this as rap or hip hop. In my book, It's just some kids in tight clothes talking shit over even shittier beats.
But, that's just my opinion, feel free to leave your own
