This mix is a collection of old rap instrumentals that never quite made it out of the lab, made between 2007-2013. This stuff is mostly a reflection of my early forms (but those forms will always be present!), and to show that I've always, from the beginning, tried to keep a solid range of beat proficiency, "Styles Upon Styles" as we say. I've avoided trying to box myself, and made sure to maintain my scholarship as a student of beatmaking.
Most of these beats were created in software via midi controllers and in-DAW audio chopping from when I first started working in Cubase in 2007; however, there are some very early SP 404/202 beats in here as well.
My next EP, Smithereens, is a journey in using beats to sonically interpret neo-impressionism, specifically Pointillism. The first single, "Seuratcha Sauce", will be out via Beats of All-Nations in May.
