SAMPLERAMA 05 - The Library Edition

SAMPLERAMA 05 - The Library Edition

These samples are all from a library record called Quadriga - Q3 and they are super duper dope. I will eventually use all of these samples myself and I am pretty sure that 99% of the people who hear this will have new sounds entering their little ears. Every sample head should bow down, and kiss my penis after this post. I have yet to get many thanks for these posts, but I will remain a good dude and post to help the needy who can no longer find gems themselves. Thank me later... really assholes. Thank me. haha. Enjoy!

Into the fashion world.....

Tampa Temp emails me and says... A few of my friends are using your music in a fashion video.. I said.. YESSSSS. Haha. I dont know if many of you know this about me.. (Jesse).. but I am into nice clothing and little stuff like that. I spend all my access and supplementary cash on shit like $50+ fitteds, and nice hoodies. I take pride in my wardrobe. So.. This was super cool to me, I hope to get more tracks in commercial ads like this one. Shout out to M.E.S.U. and check out their site on http://mesu360.com/ to show love.

Divine Seven - Still Jonesin'

Sheeeeeeet. When I saw this video online I was like.. Waaaaow. Haha. I sold this track to Sev back like 2 years maybe for $25 exclusively. He was one of the 1st dudes to ever show up and chill in the lab. We had like, zero equipment but mad ambition. Now we are way different and Sev is still killin shit locally doin his thing and didnt miss a lick. We def need to do more work together now that we have been on the scene here in Pittsburgh a while. I know that some new collabo with us would be sick.. but go show some love to Sev and say thanks for this dope video on his twitter @divineseven or check his Facebook.

SAMPLERAMA 04 - DeBarge

SAMPLERAMA 04 - DeBarge

We had to turn it up a notch.... not down.. in tempo. We had been posting somewhat slow sampled from our east coast nature of music, so we decided to post some equally dope but somewhat up-tempo tracks compared to our other posts. I hope you all enjoy these samples and I would love to hear what you do with them. If I was sampling these, I would more than likely pitch them down a few semitones rather than speed them up. Sometimes I tone them down, then I freeze the timing on the samples buy pitch them up... so they sound slower than normal, but the vocals are all squirrelly and high pitched. That does give the effect of digitalization to the sound, and mess the quality up, but sometimes it sounds fine. Try it on some of these if you never did that before. Pro Tools users... Parametric Sound Shifter.. set the tempo = in both spots... then drag your semitones on the far right up... presto! Thank us later for these samples.

Comrade - Strollin'

Check out the video for Comrade's track "Strollin" produced by BasementBeatz. If anyone else makes a HD video with one of our beats, we will post it on the blog if you submit it to Support@BasementBeatz.com to our email.

J Clash - Requiem For A Dream

J Clash - Requiem For A Dream

This is one of the dopest lyricists to ever grace a BasementBeat... J has used these beats and put on some killer shows and the "Cut You Down" video is really sick too. (CUT YOU DOWN LINK)

 On this joint we produced tracks 2, 3, 7, and 8... and if you listen to them, you will be super duper impressed. The way J flows makes me not only be able to see the words turn into images as he raps... but it makes me want to make more music. That is what I like... this is motivational. Download that Dat Piff link above and say thanks to J for his hard work on this tape on twitter @JCLASH or on his Facebook.

SAMPLERAMA 03

BasementBeatz SAMPLERAMA 03 - The Persuaders Edition

This is a post that only has samples from one of my favorite harmony groups... The Persuaders. This is that soul music that gives me chills and puts a smile on my face. These ooohs and aaaaahs are soo so dope for samplers. I myself did not use any of these yet... but they are in a folder that I plan on sampling in the near future. So... Thank me later for my kindness and digging skills. Enjoy!

Cam Thomas - First Period

Cam Thomas - FIRST PERIOD

Check out this mixtape from the super talented rapper, Cam Thomas. We have the "album titled" track (#4) and tracks numbered 11, 12, and 14. So download this to support dope music and check out Cam on twitter at @Cam_Thomas. This album is one of my favorites that I had ever been a part of. When it was released and I saw we had 4 tracks on the tape.. I was very happy. This is something that is different from the music I usually get back from artists, so I love it. Cam killed this album so go to Hot New Hip Hop and click that link above to download the album and show some support. Thank Cam later.

RECYCLE

Recycle

I was on www.Rocbattle.com in the forum and saw ClintonPlace ask for a way to sample in Reason. I think this is the best way possible to sample on any software program. I use this program here... Recycle... to chop up wav files. After you chop up to 92 slices, you can save the file or add fx to the chops. When u save the chopped wav file, the extension turns into a .rex file that can be opened into Reason's sampler called Dr. Rex. It is a primo way to arrange sample chops and I have never used anything that allows you to manipulate a sample more. Not even an MPC 5000 can mess with a Dr. Rex player. Thank us later.

YELLOW TOOLS - Pure Drums

YELLOW TOOLS - Pure Drums

I use these drums from time to time. I wanted to share another good refill that is ready to go in an nn-xt sampler, nn-19 sampler. or into the Reason Re-drum sampler. I like this kit because the drums are pretty clean, and they have a high quality sound to them. I hate drums that sound low, but peak out and muddy up your mix in the end, just because teh initial quality of the sound you used was so shitty. Most people need better sounds to work with and they need to throw away their shitty sounds and that always make a mix cleaner in the end. These drums will help anyone who uses Reason.. get a little bit of that clean drum feel that you might have been looking for. Thank us later.

V.G. - D.O.W.N.

Check out VG on his new single D.O.W.N. and show some love on Twitter @youngspittaVG. This is a super dope track that was recorded, mixed and mastered by BasementBeatz. This is going to be on his up and coming mixtape that will be released in a few months. Thank VG for his hard work. 

Le-Double-Ny - DREAMS Mixtape

Le-Double-Ny - DREAMS

This is so so dope and one of my favorite joints that we ever were a part of. We are responsible for the beats on the tracks "Gettin It" and "Expire" on this mixtape. My homie Lenny didnt disappoint on this tape. When I first heard the expire track I thought that Shaka (hook singer) sounded like Lloyd a lot. I was really impressed with the way the tracks turned out and really liked the mix on the vocals. They are above the beat and really give it a pro sound. Everyone will enjoy this. Thank Lenny on Twitter for his hard work. @LEDOUBLENY and check his site www.Le-Double-Ny.com.

TAMPA TEMP - EMPTY STAGES Mixape

TAMPA TEMP - EMPTY STAGES

We just recently started working with Temp and I have to say that I have been nothing short of impressed with everything I have heard from him. This is the kind of music I love to jam. Real hip hop music with some smoothness and hardness too. We produced the tracks "Ain't No Grave" "Ticking Away" "Gymnasts In The Nude" "Need A Dollar" and "No Good" on this joint. This mixtape makes my eardrums happy.. haha, no joke. I rap myself and Temp came through and bought all the beats I had written songs to already, so we have similar taste. No wonder I love this joint. Thank Temp for his hard work on Twitter @813Temp and download the mixtape above every day for the next 2 years to boost download stats.

DO THE MATH

PHAT MATH REFILL

This refill is only 23 MB.... but this is amazing. I do not know how it possibly sounds this sick with only that many MBs, but I seem to think it doesn't add up. I use these leads and synths all the time in my beats. They are great for techno or club beats that need that very fat and wide bassy synth sound. This refill will blow your mind and I wouldn't post up any bullshit so take this and thank us later. 

RALFI PAGAN SAMPLES

RALFI PAGAN SAMPLES

This is some good ole "Chicano Soul" style sample shit. I love Ralfi Pagan and listen to him often... he takes up many megabytes on my iPod. I get nice vibes and love jamming his albums when I go on my family cruise every year. This is very suiting for going to the beach or heading out on to an island. I love the ooohs and aaaahs that come on these tracks and you should have no trouble loving the way these sound. I did not sample any of these but may do so in the future. You should capitalize on our kindness. Thank us later.

J-Lie - Ears First, Hearts Next Mixtape

Mixtape Factory Download

Here is an amazing mixtape with an array of talented musicians. J-Lie used our beat "The Life" for this mixtape and it turned out really nice. Grab this from the Mixtape Factory link if you want to show support, or just download it the easy way if you are all about just hearing it fast. Either way show some love and support to J-Lie at... @JLie on Twitter... and www.facebook.com/OfficialJLie for his Facebook account. Enjoy!

SAMPLERAMA 02

SAMPLERAMA 02

More sampled tracks that made us money. Here is what I think to be... the dopest that SAMPLERAMA can ever come up with. I randomly select these and add them into folders. This list is one that will never disappoint and the samples almost sell themselves for how great the original productions turned out. Some of my favs are in here like Judy Mowatt, Willie Hutch, and Eddie Floyd. So download this and tell your mom, grandmother, sister, aunt, nieces that BasementBeatz got more ear crack for them to fall in love with. We are too kind. Thank us later.

SAMPLERAMA 01

SAMPLERAMA 01

This post is a 5 sample pack from beats that I had sold in the past. I wanted to share these with everyone in hope that you could also make some $$$ off of the samples. If you are a music producer and you sample... this is a must have. There are 5 tracks that are all different in style but very appealing to people with "musical" ears. Let me know if you sample any of these because I would love to hear what you do with them. Thank me later!

The Refill

BasementBeatz DOPE SOUNDS Refill

I created this "wav/rex" only refill to make my drum situation easier. I was sick of looking through 1000s of drums to find the good ones. So I sifted through over 100 gigs of one shot drum sounds, stabs, vocals, and loops and made this kit. The picture is one that can show you how unique this refill is by seeing how unique our little buddy looks. You know he is goofy looking, but you also know he is capable of taking over the world! haha. Check this kit and leave some feedback if you like it. We are selling actual sounds too. In the next 2 months we will release 2 BasementBeatz DOPE SOUNDS Refills that are custom BasementBeatz combinator instruments for Reason 1,2,3,4,5 or 6. This is essential in my opinion. Post any music you create using this refill!

Major Bank Mixtape!

Major Bank - Blue Collar Dollar Mixtape!

We produced the last 2 tracks on this mixtape and it is def pretty dope. Everyone should check out the link, and also download the tape if you like what you hear. Check out the southern swag of Major Bank on this sick tape and support all local hip hop!
