Bill Withers "Grandma's Hands" dj jesster Re-Edit

Spent a little more time last night with warping tracks.  hooked up a new toy... an MPK-25.  It's a small keyboard controller made by the same people who made the MPC-2000.  It's got the pads for tapping out a drum beat and everything.  The beat room is shaping up a little bit.. here's what we came up with:

Now i'm taking note of the fact that we're doing a "grandma's hands" re-edit just after we did a post about no-diggity.  total coincidence, but pretty cool i think.

Busta Rhymes - Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See (jesster remix)

Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See (jesster remix)

took a busta acapella and put a beat to it.  prob could use more experience warping the track, hopefully that will come.

The TR-808 Is Coming ... bunch of 808 drum sounds in a .zip file...

Hip-Hop music has come a pretty long way.. still, there are certain events in the relatively short timeline of the genre that can be considered significant... a few of them based on equipment.  Where would Hip-Hop be without the invention of the Technics 1200 turntable?  Where would Hip-Hop be without the innovation of a crossfader in a mixer?  .... and what would hip hop sound like today if the good people at Roland had never come out with the Rhythm Composer TR-808?  

These sounds are as much a part of popular music today as ever.  Part nostalgia and part perfecting an electronic drum sound the 808 is everywhere.  Here's a bunch of .wav files in a folder in a .zip file of 808 sounds.. put 'em in reason, ableton, garage band, acid or whatever your program of choice..  it you're really old school you'll put 'em on cassette and make a "pause-rewind" loop.  that's gangsta.
