Fascinating how these songs are often sampled from other songs, made on a computer, and now those sampled songs, are being played live again. Its the circle of life man.

[@RobSandman]

@highrfreeqncs4564 OMA definitely found a cheat code!, I hope many record execs are gnashing their teeth at the moment, it is a literal "Sliced Bread" moment in time! stay strong OMA, don't let em jerk ya!, you are AMAZING!

[@bobberto3399]

Some of the sickest beats are samples. Wu tang could turn one 70s banger into 15 songs lol

[@RobSandman]

@@bobberto3399 If you haven't checked out Rhythm Roulette, you should, it's amazing, producers/DJ's (some people you would have thought were MC's alone) create beats from a selection of a few records picked from a good shop, relatively on the fly, it is a great glimpse of the process, without going too deep, OMA have just "Inception'd" the game in my opinion(nothing humble about it though, I'm an O.G. MC!) Keep up the amazement OMA!, music is life!,I could NOT have walked,cycled by you guys, I would have chilled and bought y'all a beer.

[@RobSandman]

@@bobberto3399 If you haven't seen Rhythm Roulette you should check it out, Producers/DJ's are blindfolded and pick three random records and make a beat using them as the foundation, it's an extraordinary glimpse into the art, without going so deep as to drown people.

[@bryonlippert5530]

My favorite part and judging by their body language it was theirs too.

[@MossyRock-g9i]

Whoever is on the mix is a P.R.O. The drum sound is almost unbelievable for being live in a park with what looks like minimal kit. Who was the engineer? Did they do this themselves? DANG. I'm loving this.

[@Kapullus]

I SWEAR… The noises feel so lush and simply FAT… its absolutely beautiful and heavenly to the ears.

[@lukaszbober7556]

I was thinking the same. Whoever's doing the mix is a master-mind.

[@Generaldogsbodyesquire]

I’ve got a feeling it’s the keys player, could be wrong though

[@SmashCentralOfficial]

This whole crew is just so talented. Kudos to whoevers mixing.

[@toptopovaxiv]

😂 You really believe this is live recording? This was re recorded and heavily edited, just pay attention...like where do keys go out 😂, look at the hi hat, listen to stick counts and so on and on. Go in a park and put a mic in a similiar spot like this and listen to reverb of it. Then go home and try to lose it in a daw without losing the signal at all...this sounds as nothing else is entering the mic besides drums. Sounds familiar? Begins with S and ends with tudio.

[@Resopheed]

Man, that Regulate-Hypnotize-Juicy medley hits hard EVERY time. You lads are brilliant at picking songs that fit together well.

[@michaelpye226]

I agree with how people just seem uninterested. Some without even a head turn.

[@KoendeJong]

Keep in mind that this is mixed insanely good in post-production. Not 100% sure but I think people walking by hear a very basic version of the mix. Still impressive, but not the polished version we hear.

[@petermurrell8846]

I frequently pass through this part of regents park with my wife. Both being soul heads and lovers of funk we would not casually walk by!

[@lAVFC99]

A lot of the people walking by must have been 50+ just not there sound

[@maltodextrin1000]

have you ever thought that there is something what the camera doesn't show? Likely there are signs notifying people a video recording is taking place so they ask people to walk on by, this could be posted behind the statue and behind the camera. Personally I've seen this myself for film shoots and band recordings in public.

[@asder311]

i truly don't understand how people are able to just walk past this and ignore the vibes? I would drop whatever it is I was going to and just stand there and dance/chill.

[@thembantuli6992]

The transition from Regulate to Hypnotize is amazing

[@skunk12]

Let's face it. ANY transition from Regulate to a different song is good. I'm just gonna say it was Michael McDonald's "I keep forgetting..." because THATS an actual classic and not trash. 😉

[@mindfulthinker254]

Thank you so much from Germany!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

i think this "90s its more to late 80's and early "2000's" and i think very suspicious to say "oldschool" to 50cent:?

[@doraemon8975]

@dtsounds well, for me 20 years is already quite "Old School" and more for those who were born after that date.

[@dtsounds]

@@doraemon8975 i can see , but thats not the way things are. Nobody can start calling something A or B just because the year of birth.... Oldschool it isnt related to your age directly ... oldschool, newschool, contemporany and etc etc etc ... they all have reasons, meanings...... and im garantee that your age, mine, or those kids had nothing to do about it 🙂
