This one comes up today cause I think my homeys Joel and Paul would approve of it (bust out the samplers?). It’s a short abortion, but it came pretty close to being turned into a Fade track (Robsi loved it and worked on vocals for like an afternoon).
It’s all Buzz and live record scratching…I was really tipping over the edge about to dive into turntablism when I produced this.

Title: Beautiful Day
Artist: Noggin
Album: Buzz Exports
Release Date: 2003

This is a beat that I used to scratch a Robin Williams record over…”it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood”.
Coincidentally, all the drums in this are scratched live from a record, then sampled to create the beat. By that I mean they come from a record that had Kick and Snare sounds very close together (*boom bap*), and I played the beat by scratching and cutting with the crossfader, drumming out a beat live from those two sounds. The hi-hats were then overdubbed in a similar fashion (cut/cut/cut/cut).
Produced in Buzz.

Noggin – Nothing Works Here Without You

Title: Nothing Works Here Without You
Artist: Noggin
Album: n/a
Release Date: 2005

Produced mainly using Buzz, but includes synth pad and solo sounds from the Roland SH-32. Also record scratches courtesy Dirtstyle Deluxe Shampoo Edition break record.
I made this track when I first moved to Austin. I had a pretty huge, pretty empty apartment to myself. I’m talking EMPTY – turntables, salvaged mattress + pillows (these were my alternative to a couch), and some kitchen-ware. This song came out of a low-lit evening there, surrounded by the embedded smell of curry.
