I’m not even going to pretend I understand how this guy does this. I used to make some fly beats back in the day on the amazing Yamaha my parents bought me when I was 13, but nothing compared to this.

Anyhow. Meet Disko Dave. In the video, he messes around with a sample, adds different rhythms and such and makes it sound pretty incredible. Personally, I’m quite impressed. I have limited to no exposure to the hip hop world aside from the horrible, overproduced pop-hip hop on the radio. This is a breath of fresh air. Can’t deny this guy is talented.

If it means anything to you, he’s using an Akai MPC 2000XL, and I kinda want one (even though I wouldn’t be able to use it for my life.) I would love to know how those little buttons change the chord. Are the chords preprogrammed to fit the key… or is each button a note? Any insight?

If you’re curious, I found this clip on www.cratekings.com. Peace.
