MPC 3000 hit its 30 year mark in 2023 dope beat

[@eddieleonard6925]

Oh, I didn't realize that. That's wild! Still the best machine imo. Happy New Years fam!

damn that wutang vibe

[@eddieleonard6925]

RZA's a huge influence. Love the way he composes. Cheers,

@@eddieleonard6925 , your music is very beautiful and i'm glad i discovered your channel, the colours you show are trully mesmerizing. Hey, i've had a question in mind.. did you ever thought about mixing your style and creativity with techno music (the real underground one, not the mainstream sh*t) ? I swear that your vibe could be such a great value to this genre. I'd love to send your some tracks so you could hear/understand why i'm asking that. There's a perfect balance between minimalism, sensitivity and beautiful weirdness in your craft that would apply amazingly on techno. Shout out from Paris,France man :)

I can totally imagine a band like Radiohead going to the studio with this beat! The possiblities...

[@eddieleonard6925]

Thanks dude! I'll have to keep this demo and maybe build around it more. Happy New Years!

Happy New Year

[@eddieleonard6925]

Thanks. Right back atcha...

[@lagunagfx]

Really nice groove. A couple of twists for that beat come immediately to mind. Wishing you a nice 2023 also! Respect, man

[@eddieleonard6925]

Thanks. When you say twists, you mean variations? I definitely want to revisit this. Happy New Years!

[@djReason19]

aaand the flow is found. Came together nicely. The process is a beautiful thing.

[@eddieleonard6925]

Thanks man! I know you're in the studio on a regular basis, sometimes these quick jam sessions turn into drafts that can grow into full tracks. K.I.M..

[@andrewsmyth1652]

Very nice. The perfect balance of Experimental and Funk.

[@eddieleonard6925]

Appreciate that. Jams like this help find a new sound. Happy New Years

[@bartolocasanova]

Cool! I enjoy seeing how it is done ! Now I can perfectly hear a nice slow trumpet soloing over this for days .... thanks man. 🙌

[@eddieleonard6925]

Oooh, I'll try sampling a trumpet to build this out more. Happy New Year.

True. This is a work in progress but it's almost there. Happy New Years.

Thanks, bruh. Trying to get in rhythm again. Happy New Years. Can't wait for your next tape.

[@MikaBlaster]

Hello Eddie great beat, are you doubling the tempo on your 3000? because I hear the metronome which is accelerated

[@eddieleonard6925]

Yep, its doubled. No particular reason for it. That's just how I roll..

[@matthewstrohmaier1647]

How many bars are you overdubbing? I'm interested in your workflow for these beats - it's sonically a very fun way to bang on the mpc. Would love to get more insight. It may give me a way to make my own playing less grating to stander bys :p

[@eddieleonard6925]

It all depends on the beat. For quick jamming, I do 2 bar loops and keep copying and pasting sequences. For more melodic stuff, I stretch it to 8 bars. Hope this helps! Keep jamming!
