The New School: Day Eight - Myke Forte

Myke's a good dude!!!, he first came to our attention back in the first Beat Cypher from October 2008, what was crazy was he came to the night armed with beats and his MPC2500 just in case there was an opportunity to get down; since then he built with myself and Kela and even took a trip down to London (solo) after work (he was based in Milton Keynes at the time) just to play some beats with us a the producers event "Beat Shed".

He quickly started being a regular in the Den sessions and is now a permanent stay in Louis Den, here's Luigi's take on his beatmaking talents!

The ComeUp (Hunger) - Myke Forte (THE NEW SCHOOL: DAY 8)

Unfortunately, I didn't find out about Myke Forte until the tail end of 2009 with the release of his Zodiac : Aries beat tape. Once I gave the tape a listen I was instantly blow away and found one of my new favorite producers.

Listening to Forte's beats, you can definitely sense a strong Pete Rock influence. Myke is excellent at crafting mellow beats that sure to soothe your soul. Also being a member of the Louis Den movement, it's only a matter of time before Myke gets proper recognition.

Be sure to catch up on his Zodiak series of beat tapes and keep a look out for future volumes as the continue to get better and show different sides of Myke.
