Halou - UR Friends

One of the most gifted American Trip Hop bands. I'm still waiting to see them live, then i'll be satisfy for a minute.

John Klemmer vs Atmosphere - Humbling Love

When it comes down to finding the right sample for a beat that you're interested in making, you really have to dig hard. To me it's definitely an art form that takes years and years to train the ears. The digging process can take up from hours to weeks to months, if your that picky-but the outcome can lead to a successful and explosive song. Here's one of my favorite hip hop track of all time by Atmosphere...I credit John Klemmer for an amazing tune. Listen till it killz you.

Picky, picky, picky when it comes to my liking for beats..there's not many I would give my time to..Please pick your samples wisely. Caution.

Kaliyuga Pro - Mydriasis

When it comes to the whole downtempo/triphop/ambient scene, I'm a sucker for great melodic tunes...sitting at home, drifting away after a long head shot of phone calls and computer work. You make this connection and you get lost, so does your wallet, but digging for it on another level, able to reach for it and play it on wax is very memorable for me. I like to keep it that way.

Piero Piccioni vs STEL72 - Let's Dream Anyhow

When I stumbled upon this sample around 04-05', I knew I had to recreate this as a classic hiphop track. I had a friend in mind that I wanted to write over this beat, a writer who can craft his imagination with a heartfelt story, in come my brother Mannyfe$to. Till this day, this remains my favorite track that I've ever produced. It's so simple, yet so deep and passionate that the beat and lyrics combine to create a memorable FE track. North County Underground Hip Hop at its finest. 760..

Bebel Giberto - Sambe de Bencao

It's unfair to not know what she wrote, but I must say...I think it's more exciting to enjoy music as it was meant to be heard. I would think an english version of this song would suck horribly. Been a fan since my early college years and will definitely catch up to her live, Monday.
