Samplers are valid - when I first began making beats, I primarily used Ableton. However, as I progressed, I discovered that many producers appreciate hardware. There’s usually an age-old debate around this topic. Being someone that strictly uses hardware I can verify the authenticity and characteristics of hardware sampler when programming and sequencing my beats.
Resample - recently I’ve been enjoying sequencing my drums on the Teenage engineering PO33 then resampled the drum sequence in the EP133 K.O. II, chopped the drums in the EP133 K.O. II then programmed them in again all whilst using the SP404 MK2 as an effects board and resample everything in the mother board seems like a lot, but that’s what it takes to tailor a beat shout to the resample method.
Pay homage - showing gratitude to those that laid foundations in order for us to be here, whether that be your ancestors or revered figures like J Dilla, Ras G, Quincy Jones, Thomas Sankara, bobby Hemmitt Àṣẹ. Whilst creating I like to remine in thought of them, Channelling their essence, Allows me to feel like I’m surrounded by their influence allowing me to incorporates elements of their artistic styles into my own music.
Discovery of yourself - “You can't really know where you're going until you know where you've been” is a quote by poet and author Maya Angelou. It means that understanding your past experiences and background can help you make better decisions about your future. Knowledge of self is key, it adds distinction to all things that we do.
Be Of value - Do from Love, not for love.
