New Year New Homework, lets get it!
Homework 81 - Stax Of Soul
Founded in 1957 as Satellite Records, the label became known as Stax in 1961, given that makes it a cool 50 years old this year we'd like you guys to dig through the catalogue and turn in some ill beats.
Artists birthed from the label include Otis Redding, William Bell, The Dramatics, Isaac Hayes, Eddie Flloyd and a whole gang of others!
RULESTo create a beat using the extensive "Stax" catalogue, get over to the wikipedia page, youtube / spotify; research and give the catalogue a listen; try your best to source your samples from good rips OR better yet go for a real life dig!! cant beat it, usual louisden rules apply; feel free to use your own drums/vst's to bulk up the beat; just make sure the sample forms the main part!
*** be sure to research the albums you are digging from to make sure they are from the Stax catalogue ** submit beats to homework@louisden.com.
DEADLINEBeats are due Sunday 23rd January, so thers no session this sunday (16th Jan) you've got the whole week to get cooking!, see you in the stream @
