” [The] present program, presented to a capacity audience at Westbury, Long Island, on the evening following the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, is highlighted by a song written upon that day by Gene Taylor, Nina’s bass player. Why? (The King of Love Is Dead) has the immediacy of a headline, the poignancy of tears for a loved one and the relevance of a siren in the night.” -Nat Shapiro

so here’s, a couple samples of the new stuff made from old jam tape samples. the trick was finding little pieces without any singing, so they could chopped up into loops. you know how it is… :-\
these should be ’bout ready for some nice vocal sounds.

it’s been too long since i posted any music, so i thought i’d put up a little bit of the new stuff i’m workin on.
this first track is actually *old* - a cassette tape recording from the tip-top lounge in SF, 1998.
i’ve been goin’ back to a lot of these old recordings and making new stuff out of them… it’s a challenge, but it’s kinda fun.
it’s also kinda funny how at the time we were playing music we wanted it to sound like something you would sample from, and here i am, almost 10 years later doing just that.
(in part 2 i’ll post an example of a new song made from old jams)

It’s been too long since I posted some tunes for your listening pleasure, so I thought I’d share a couple new remixes exclusively for the Deezlee.com folks. These were both recently submitted for remix contests for the artists, so I’m sure they won’t mind me sharing them here.

What can I say? I love workin with acapellas. I hope you enjoy my remixes.
Its been too long since I posted any tunez, so here goes:
Breez was generous enough to post some accas for hungry beatmakers to work on…
Deadline is August, and its July 29 so I guess my time is about up! Thought I would share my results with the Deezlee Fam…
Workin’ with accapellas is one of the funnest things for a beatmaker (at least fun for me)… Thanks for the material Breez! Lookin forward to hearing what others have done with these vocals.

1. Understandings
While recently moving, I came across a stash of old jam tapes. This is Noah on the found BELTDRIVE jenkins turntable + Chris J on the found Roland Mark I keyboard + me on drums. The location is the basement of my old pad in the Berkeley Hills around ‘96. Two mics recorded to a cassette tape, one on the floor next to the drums, the other on the floor near the guitar amp (keyboard) and jenkins distorted speaker for the turntable.
You have to be in the right mood to listen to music like this… this is krust from the magnetic tape of a cassette 10 years old. I hope someone will get some enjoyment out of listening to it.
