The New School: Day Six - Inphy

* the following post is a summary/swipe of "THE NEW SCHOOL" series penned by LuigiBo87 and posted at hiphophypedog, Louis Den are covering the articles as LDBB fam are also featured!.




Inphy - Jay Z 99 Problems Remix (Instrumental)

This guy is the best kept secret out of everyone on this list; banging out all the way from the Czech Republic we have Inphy.

With a great ear for samples and drums you're sure to love his sound! Inphy is most definitely a graduate from the school of Pete Rock and is definitely going to be one of the torch carriers for the "classic boom-bap" sound in Hip-Hop.

His remix of Little Brother's "Life Of the Party" sounds like it easily could have been the original. From the drums, to the samples, all the elements hit the mark and it compliments the accapella perfectly in my opinion! At the young age of 19, Inphy is only going to get better from here! Get familiiar now!

The New School: Day Five - Jaisu

Jaisu - Kosmos (f)/(st)ans will recognise it from his opening blap in beat cypher 2!

Aite well continuing on LuigiBo's New School series (which he is running over at hiphop hypedog and we're dual posting here). Its the first of a few Louis Den residents that made the list in the form of Edinburgh heatmaker JAISU!. Lets see what they had to say about dude! - kos.

This time we head across the pond to Edinburgh, Scotland to hear Louis Den regular Jaisu. If you're like me, you were lucky enough to randomly run across Jaisu's beat tape series on Youtube. If this is your first time hearing of him you're in for a treat!

Jaisu's deft, creative chopping skills, neck breaking drums and deep warm basslines combine to give his beats a unique, captivating feel which will appeal to both boom bap purists and fans of a more modern, forward looking, sample based hip hop sound equally.

The shooter and editor of Jaisu's beat tape series, ab0181, and the founder of Louis Den, Kosyne, featured him on their production DVD magazines: BCD 1 & 2. These DVDs, along with his production work for Sha Stimuli, Marvwon, Punchline, General Steele and on his fellow Beat Fanatic member Slopfunkdust's 'Smoker's Choice' project, are great starting points while you wait for his forthcoming, highly anticipated, beat tape to be released.

The New School: Day Four - Nameless

* the following post is a summary/swipe of "THE NEW SCHOOL" series penned by LuigiBo87 and posted at hiphophypedog, Louis Den are covering the articles as LDBB fam are also featured!.





Nameless - Emerald Dreams

Nameless comes from Flint, Michigan. Nameless is an extremely versatile and talented producer who gives another reason for me to believe that there really is something in the water in Michigan.

Nameless can do it all, from soul samples, video game samples, and originals that bang! Nameless even is dope in the fields of art and graphic design. I strongly suggest that you go to his Bandcamp site and just download everything. He has tons of bangers on all of his beat tapes, you won't be disappointed!

Also, be on the lookout for his new tribute project "Don't Hurt Em Teddy P" dropping this Summer! On top of that he also has, "CORDLESS" [B. Corder + NAMELESS], and "16-Bit: Bonus Stages" and "HellCassell" planned for this sumer also.

Jon Phonics - Half Past Calm 2 (free download)

Half Past Calm 2 is finally here and boy is it serious!. The blurb follows but lemme give you my input!!.

Half Past Calm 2 is the follow up to Jon's free LP he dropped a couple years back. For those who havent heard the free projects he's dropped since are in for treat as you'll hear how Jon's sound has evolved over the past couple; still maintaining the dirt,dust and grit found in his original LP theres the addition of his future funk elements as he encorporates more synth work and space age bounce into his signature sound found in his league heaters over last autumn and the free winter beat tape Jonathans Beats & Peices.

Ok, here comes the official text!.

The New School from LuigiBo87

Music head and blap aficionando LuigiBo87 has been dipping his toes into producer centred blogs/releases/compilations via the hiphophypedog blog and twitter, bringing you his Best Of Beats 2009 compilation at the top of this year to his Dust Of The NES compilation which featured 8-bit / chiptune inspired beats.

This time round (in association with hypedog) he plans to bring you 10 producers to watch for 2010, with some of the list containing Louis Den affiliates we figured we'd may as well mirror his posts here and let you know who else you should be watching out for and hopefully put you onto some new producers!.

lets goo.

Homework 61 - I Usually Rock Around 120 BPM

Ok the Little Brother sample flip challenge was dope, a lot of usual names missing from the mix (come on people!!) but still some great offerings including a full remix EP of little brother accas/samples from Evil Needle..crazy!, ok so this time round we're going to a homework suggestion and is a lot more open to interpretation and not necessarily sample based..lets do it.


Homework 61 - I Usually Rock About 120 BPM


*challenge suggested by S-TYPE

This week we figured going for something a little more different; poached form the "homework suggestions thread" over at the louisden forums S-TYPE suggested having a set BPM challenge rather than a sample theme or flip.

So why not try it out!, the rules are simple; make a beat at this particular tempo!!..theres a lot of scope for some cross genre business (thats not an invite to turn some europop or hiphouse!), just try and keep it funky, to inspire you here are some 110+ BPM hiphop joints you would have heard in the past (just a random selection


LINKS/RESOURCES
A few songs 110 BPM+ to get some ideas!!
De La Soul - A Rollerskating Jam Named Saturday
De La Soul - Me Myself and I
Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - The Creator
Wu Tang - Gravel Pit
EPMD Ft LL - Rampage
Joe Budden ft Busta Rhymes - Fire



RULES

To turn in a fresh beat (samples/non sampled anythings cool) which is at 120 BPM, email entries to homework@louisden.com, ideally attach the mp3 straight we dont really want to be messing with download wait limits and captcha codes!.



DEADLINE

23rd May 2010 (extended!), lab session will be around 18:00 we dont wanna chase links in the session!!..we'll be broadcasting live from the lab at http://tinyurl.com/ldbblive newcomers are welcome!! just email your beats over and get in!.



peace
