    Video Making a Grime Track from Scratch

    Here's a video showing me put together my first Grime influenced instrumental together. I normally make more boom bap style Hip Hop but being from the UK you can't really get away from the Grime influence which runs deep over here. Enjoy;

    HIP HOPS' 1%

    To quote Questlove in an interview "I think it's similar to how the record business was in 1913. It didn't get perfected until the '60s." Things are changing and I don't think they're going back to how they were. You might find majors manage to stay on top amongst the changes but they're going...

    Kanye West when he was starting out

    Yep I know some guys that make some nice beats with fruity loops alone. The ideas and creativity always trump the tools in my opinion. Tools only have use in as much they assist you in your ideas.

    Making a Jazz Piano Beat

    I've never used the Maschine, but some other producers I know do. I think it is probably the better option, especially if you use it with logic. The Maschine software appears to work much better with it whereas the MPD is basically just aa midi controller

    The Death of the Album

    Interesting points. From an artistic perspective albums are definitely important and they have huge value at least when they're done in a holistic fashion as you described. From a business perspective perhaps not so much at least for now. Part of the reason the concept album flourished in the...

    Making a Jazz Piano Beat

    Thanks Fade! I originally learnt to produce on a MPC2000XL, but moved on to software a couple of years ago. As I'm used to that style I'll often use the MPD whenever I deal with drums or samples. However, I don't always sample. I'll use a synth or midi keyboard to come up with my own chord...

    What's My Obsession with Zombies About??

    Thanks Fade! Thanks for your thoughts too. I agree the whole zombie genre is starting to get a bit oversaturated. The 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead was amazing from a horror perspective, though I don't think it was a patch on the original in terms of story and the way consumerism is...

    What's My Obsession with Zombies About??

    “What is the obsession with zombies anyway Lav??….” That’s a question I often get asked. And it’s a good question at that…Despite my somewhat ‘sunny disposition’ I’ve always been strangely drawn to the dark side. Like Luke Skywalker only without the whining, the incestial kissing and the...

    Is hip-hop bad for black America?

    I can't see any of it being that detrimental to be honest. People have to realise the most powerful thing you can do is to know who you are and be yourself. Wear it as a badge of honour! Of course we all take influence from others but the important thing to do is take the ideas and things you...
