« on: February 27, 2006, 03:23:03 PM »

Sup AG, been a while.

I stumbled across this track on a live mix recording and it made my soul spark. Can anyone tell me who the artist is? Who made the beat? mc sound a bit like cl smooth.

Producers - Discussion / Post your Production Process

« on: October 14, 2005, 05:50:11 PM »

Sup y'all, decided to start posting some reason files of my beats. I encourage others to do the same, so we can scope out other's techniques and ultimately learn.

I realise some producers like to stay secretive about how they do shit and might be a bit apprehensive about having other up 'n comings start to copy their styles/techniques.

BUT, no one can grow this local industry on their own. Trying to get some 'together working here'. Everyone can learn from everyone else.


anyway,
1st track:

Basically no samples on this one
I like this track for the composition and the ba**line,
The mastering could be better, its sounding a bit flat (lack of highs especially on the keys), had to slap on a low pa** filter to keep it sounding good.

Feel free to f*** around with the track. Just dont pa** it off as your own....grrrrrrr.

You need Reason2.5 (or above) to run this file.

Seeing that i cant post .rns files, i'm uploading the track as a *.txt file.
Once dowloaded u need to change the extension to *.rns to run it....

General Discussion / ultimate cause

Supposed 'proof' of the existence of god. Based on Einstein's Theory of Relativity (E=Mc^2), the Big Bang n quantum physics. Fairly simplified and liberal in using all these facts to support their hypothesis. But interesting nonetheless - the facts, as far as my knowledge of physics goes - (my pops is a professor of astro-physics) - are to a great extent, quite valid.

Check it out.

General Discussion / MF Doom + Mizchief cousins?

« on: September 23, 2005, 12:04:34 AM »

This rumour had been floating around for a while. Dont remember where i got it, but i never paid much heed to it, despite MF Doom's peculiar surname 'Dumile' and zimbabwean point of origin, and Mizchief's growing up in new york for a few years.

Yesterday a respectable and reliable 1st hand source matter-of-factly confirmed the connection...

could it be true?

Hot Traxxx / Today

« on: May 13, 2005, 01:21:56 AM »

Today is the shadow of tomorrow
Today is the present future of yesterday
Yesterday is the shadow of today
The darkness of the past is yesterday
And the light of the past is yesterday
The days of yesterday are all numbered in sum
In the world once
Because once upon a time there was a yesterday
Yesterday belongs to the dead
Because the dead belongs to the past
The past is yesterday
Today is the preview of tomorrow but for me
Only for my better and happier point of view
My point of view is the thought of a better or try
Reality is today of eternity
The eternity of yesterday is dead
Yesterday is as one
The eternity of one is the eternity of the past
The past is once upon a time
Once upon a time is past
The past is yesterday today
The past is yesterday today
While we're searchin for tomorrow

The light of the past is the light which was
The wisdom of the past is the light of the past
The light of the future is the light which is to be
The wisdom of the future is the light of the future see
Yesterday belongs to the dead
Tomorrow belongs to the living
The past is certified as a finished product
Anything which has ended is finished
That which is perfect is finished
The perfect man is no exception to the rule
The perfect man of the past is made according to the rule of the past
The rule of the past is a law of injustice and hypocrisy
The revelation of the meaning of the law is revealed through the law itself
The wisdom of the past is the light of the past
The light which is to be the wisdom of the future
The light of the future casts the shadows of tomorrow
