Beats On A Plane

workin' out a new airbook this past week.. took a trip up to maine and boston.  had a nice little week and a half off.  while on the plane got to put these two beats together.

Persian Wedding Song Remix (in Farsi)

A couple of weekends ago i DJed a wedding party for Sarge and Leyla.  Leyla's mom brought me a couple of CDs with some persian wedding music to play.  I thought one of them was pretty interesting to i kinda worked it into a beat i was working on.

The lyrics are in farsi so i don't know what is being said and i'm not sure that the arrangement is in a way that the lyrics make any sense now.  i do think it sounds kinda cool though.  When i put this together i did it because i like the idea of blending different musical styles together, i sincerely hope this isn't offensive or rude towards anyone.

Some of the tricks i tried to use involved some grouping of effects in a timeline.  Using a simpler in a bassline and warping and cutting in arrangement mode.  there's a couple filter delays in there, oh and i used a corpus effect on the bass drums after i wired them through their own audio channel.. that was a trick i learned in a tutorial from dubspot.

The wedding was great by the way and both Leyla and her mom are adorable.  Thanks for the tracks.....

It's Time For the Percolator (dj jesster Re-Edit)

always loved the song "percolator" by cajmere.  on the flight back from LGA today i put most of this together.  i finished it off back here in atlanta.   it's short and sweet, clocking in at 2:00 min on the nose.  the breakdown with the high-pitched synth got the auto-pan xformer trick which is one of the tricks i got from abe duque in the dubspot workshop.  unfortunately i didn't get to say "thanks" to him in person after the class, i had my head in the apc when he took off.
