really like this beat

found this on bandcamp and thought it was pretty dope.  it's from the album "dusty" by night swimmers..

testing out Alchemy Plug-in beat "garbage plate"

this is a beat i made using a demo version of a plug-in called "alchemy" made by camel audio: http://www.camelaudio.com/Alchemy.php ... it's a synth module.  i used it for the bass sound in this beat.  the beat's really more of a sketch to test out what it's like to use plug-ins for ableton live.

this past sunday i had a fantasy basketball draft. i did it online with my homies up in the ROC (rochester ny.)  if you've never been to the ROC you gotta go if for nothing else for the garbage plates.  i made one for the occasion sunday night.  the key is the "hot sauce" which is really like a chili sauce that smothers two cheeseburgers, mac salad and crinkle fries.  i made mine with a pound of ground beef, a whole bottle of taco bell sauce, a dash of worcestershire sauce, a bit of sriracha, a lot of cumin, cayenne and chili powder and about an hour of simmering on the stove top.

these plates actually came out pretty good.
maybe we'll open up a garbage plate shop.. though "garbage plate" is trademarked by nick tahou's so i would prob call it a "gangsta plate"

Red Sox Rhyme

here's a little story that must be told. little rhyme 'bout the sox postseason 2013.  a friend at work is editing some kind of video and asked me if i would put this together.  i'm gonna cut it down to a :10 eventually but here's the "extended version."

Team Supreme vol 76 rejected submission

i really dig what the guys at team supreme are doing.. every now and then they have an open submission for beats.  tried to get one in there for vol 76.  didn't make the cut but i ain't sour about it.. maybe next time 'round.
here's what i made:

here's what the mix ended up being:

New Beat: Dj Jesster "why me"

while i was driving home from work yesterday i heard an interview with linda rondstadt on NPR.  it was pretty interesting, and i thought to myself "i probably couldn't name more than one or two of her songs." so i went back to the lab, pulled some up and hooked up this beat..
