My DJ-Kicks is out now!
I made this for the club in my head, it’s dedicated to LA and its nightlife, my home and inspiration for so many years.
Thank you to all the artists for giving me permission. Special thanks to those who generously provided exclusive songs just for this
It’s left out of tutorials coz there’s nothing to teach there. It’s JUST feeling. But it’s soooo important and magical.
It’s also one of the dangers of being too visual on a DAW - u can end up looking at the waveform too much rather than just listening to the feeling.
Now that we’re in the producer tutorial era, there’s sooo much that is said about getting a certain swing or pocket in your programming
But what’s left out is how you let the sample itself fall into a pocket. Even a simple loop, no chops, there’s such an art to where it lands..
