Bi-weekly record-diving sampling extravaganza | 19 | Total Contrast - Sunshine (Instrumental)

Im thinking that once you get a part down, you can riff off the element and make a song that goes in a whole new direction.

I would go back and try it with this track, but Im such an amatuer. I only make a single pass on music, and if i don’t make the shot, I just move on.

BLKrbbt:

I want to take a break from sampling a bit, and in the upcoming challanges, I might make a song, and instead of sampling, I might recreate the elements, and make a song that way. Almost like a cover.

That’s a fun approach - we could add that as a caveat for future rounds! Might give that a go next time myself

It’s a shame I’ve been so busy this week and only ended up with the one sketch, there is so much material in this sample I could have easily done a dozen

You cheeky blighters have convinced me to do a wonky hip hop something or other with this as well.

Probably finish it off tomorrow.

Thanks for the invite to this. Here is what I put together. Alot of fun. Jammed it out on my Digitakt. Went with the sunshine theme - couldn’t help but weave in one other famous track.

Really like where that third one is going. Especially when those guitar licks come in. tasty - picks up that tempo niiice

surfacescan · 2023-06-17T23:47:44.642Z

So cool to see you jam it out on the video - it is crazy fast! But that kinda gong drone in the back gives it a nice long measure. cool

natehorn · 2023-06-18T06:19:46.850Z

Welcome @surfacescan and a great first drop

surfacescan · 2023-06-18T12:23:45.253Z

Beautiful track. Was expecting Sade to come through… I think the sax sounds great.

surfacescan · 2023-06-18T12:28:05.341Z

Thanks @natehorn for the gem of a song, lush vibes and fun mission. Looking forward to the next one. May post my version without the Roy Ayer’s vocals…

jdaddyaz · 2023-06-18T19:10:42.809Z

Alright, didn’t have as much time as I thought I did, so I’m just posting my quasi finished attempt.
Used Drum Computer for the drums.
Korg OpSix for the synth line.
Various filters, reverbs, and stuff.
Thank you @natehorn for another banger of a track!

I think this has got to be my favourite collection of tracks that has come out of these challenges. Perfect time of year for them too Said it before but awesome sample choice Nate

malus_mons · 2023-06-19T15:16:28.281Z

feeling some hybrid afrobeat/hip hop vibes.

monquixote · 2023-06-19T23:02:39.252Z

Was such a fun track I had to have another go this time with some wonky drunk hip hop including a bit of our old friend MF Doom.

Edit, updated and fixed.

monquixote · 2023-06-20T08:17:51.960Z

Hmm listening back this morning I’m not quite happy with this yet so I’ll give it a tweak this evening.

monquixote · 2023-06-20T22:14:59.176Z

Fixed the track above adding some more backing vocals and improving some levels.

natehorn · 2023-06-21T15:45:48.173Z

Tight!!

Is that some custom artwork too btw?? It’s troubling but very cool

monquixote · 2023-06-21T15:47:24.559Z

Thanks buddy.

No I stole it from a random google search!

Yabba · 2023-06-21T16:12:30.534Z

Echoing previous sentiments, you guys are all great and this has been a really good week.
Also good to see a new face start posting with such high standard:

If it wasn’t for things like this I’d never complete a beat and would forever dwell in the realm of an 8 bar scrap that I’d never finish
