Rhythm Roulette: DJ Nu-Mark

For this episode of Rhythm Roulette, Mass Appeal presents DJ Nu-Mark, aka Uncle Nu. He picked up three records-The Rockettes, George Benson, and Charlie Mingus-and created something magical. In fact, the final result was quite puzzling, in a “How the fuck did you do that?” kind of way.

[@chaseboogie3559]

Finally someone does this shit right!!

[@unclenu]

Respect due to u. Appreciate you peepin! Chase Boogie

[@chaseboogie3559]

***** I say finally because he used all three records, plus his own elements, and the beat sounds complete and professionally mixed..others have done well but not like this, imo..

[@chaseboogie3559]

UncleNu no doubt bro...good job!

[@Blimpdawg]

Chase Boogie very true brotha. loved it

[@DAVID-js6qd]

Party Supplies and Mac Miller also did it like that

[@freedawveii5776]

Shout outs to the late great Nujabes. Almost approaching his anniversary

[@umissedme2]

+Lord Λlpheus I just scrolled to see who noticed this as well. :-)

[@pastiche4497]

+Danielle Cox I did too! I love that man's work! Wish he was still here!

[@brianrainsfordmarshall2692]

+Lord Λlpheus The George Benson track is actually a cover of the song Nujabes sampled for Counting Stars. Thought I was tripping out so I checked on WhoSampled.com. Nujabes was the man.

[@taucherglocke]

+Lord Λlpheus Damn! It thought I was the only one who heard the similarity to Nujabes! Still so much love for his work

[@pastiche4497]

Fat Jon for life!

[@SneekPeekTech]

Best beat yet imo. The mixing, the blending of the three diff records... everything came together perfectly

[@brianmitchell8000]

No doubt!! Love this and Ski Beats

[@SneekPeekTech]

Brian Mitchell i agree. Ski beats instrument implementation was on point. Black milk was great too. The beat wasn't as good as this one or ski but he had a lot less to work with imo.

That dog is fucking adorable.

[@Enwhycee]

One of the best beats so far on rhythm roulette , all praises due

[@unclenu]

Big ups G! Ivan Sabess

[@KnuckleBallz]

That dog is chill. I wanna cuddle it.

[@christophereasley3265]

When he pulled out George Benson's Breezin' album I thought right away "He's sampling Affirmation." Glad he did though! Shit came out clean.

[@dclarkmusic]

You just can't match that perfect melody

[@BillSkinton]

100% hahaha!

[@supahmariostyle]

FINALLY a real Producer! I haven't gotten to Babu or Sermon just yet..but you can tell the ol skool producers from the new school. The older beat makers are problem solvers and will craft something that "isn't" there.

[@unclenu]

+Brian Rosa !!jjj

[@alphanumeric1529]

+UncleNu Listened to this RR many times. Really appreciate this beat. My appreciation grows each time.

[@liukang85]

Haha yeah up to seeing this clip here I thought Sermon was the best on RR. Now it's both for me :)

[@supahmariostyle]

@@Babeli "...problem solvers and will craft something that "isn't" there."

[@glennclark9100]

This is the true essence of the show. Pick out 3 records (use all 3) and make a beat on the spot. UncleNu showing them how it's supposed to be done.....Salute!

[@MichelvanBerkums]

wow he killed this... what a vibe! i wish they gave out each beat from each episode with a dl link or maybe a full album with all the producers involved

[@MrShaneGreat]

Uncle NU is living the dream!...a dope studio and a cool dog! nice work NU-MARK!! bless!

[@strugglebuggietv]

he used ALL 3 records...!

[@unclenu]

Shit was a challenge. Respect G. Strugglebuggie TV

[@rusroyce]

UncleNu I know people tell you this alot, but you are a musical genius, this is he dopest rhythm roulette episode

[@unclenu]

***** Peace to you G. Tried my best in the hour or so I had.

[@BeeFizzle]

UncleNu Nujabes? heard of? this track i get some Nujabes vibes..... R.I.P Nujabes , you kick ass man.

[@Taroksing]

Briar Foley sounds a lot like nujabes, awesome stuff here bro

[@ziggidzack]

I love to see someone take a guitar sample and do more than just one loop with it. It demonstrates musical versatility when chopping a record. Superb.

[@3VLN]

This is probably one of my fav episodes. Love how methodical he is when choosing samples.

[@likeasauceboss1]

Yo Mass Appeal you know who we want. Lord Quas. That dog he has is cute

[@dawlessbeats6223]

I’ve been watching this time to time since I found. Donno why but this episode is so inspiring to me. Wishing Re-unite Jurassic 5.

[@DenMarkSoul]

Incredible! What's even more amazing is how he used a sample that Nujabes used. Yet instead of using it how Nujabes did. He flipped it and made it sound nothing like how Nujabes flipped it. Respect! This is 1 reason why I love hip hop!

[@Head_Turnah]

3:18 Holy crap Nujabes sampled that guitar rift.

[@facekickr]

Yep, from Laurindo Almeida. Nu Mark killed it on the flip of the George Benson take of the Lamp Is Low riff! Loved his work with J5. Still waiting on more from him and that crew!

[@Davephatbuds]

Everyone's been waiting on a new Jurassic 5ive album. It's been a couple years since their reunion. They're busy guys, I guess.

[@franciscovaladez1738]

facekickr facekickr That wasnt Laurindo Almeida, youre thinking of Aruarian Dance. That riff in the video is from José Feliciano's Affirmation, which Nujabes sampled on Counting Stars. this is George Bensons cover of that track.

[@kayin4o8]

Counting stars

[@redericson1993]

Fucking yes!

[@Roomer645]

Indeed, he did very well and he used all 3 records which is refreshing.

[@nathanroux5804]

Very good video. One of the best episode of Rhythm Roulette. Can't wait to see DJ Nu-Mark in France the 23rd January 2015 ! Merry Christmas everyone !

[@NinoJoy]

3:10 Souls Of Mischief's Medication spotted right away

[@anthonyneal100]

FINALLY!! someone who actually used all 3 of the samples and made them work together & also i liked how he actually worked his way around the store to get sounds from different sections not just in 1 section like how the others have honestly only Dj nu-mark,Statik selektah, & kirk knight are the best so far i give it to kirk for being a young producer & holding his own but mass appeal needs to stop playing & just have madlib or 9th wonder on here

[@unclenu]

Anthony Neal Thx for tuning in. Enjoy the free download soundcloud.com/djnumark/benson-beat

[@mackudo8772]

You can tell which producer's on the show that have surpassed the 10,000 hour mark to achieve greatness he's one of them ....

[@zvas88]

Nu Mark!!! Awesome, I sampled those same guitars from Benson years ago. Wish I had to know how to flip 'em like that way back when though.

[@SirWrighteous]

How it's done. Best one yet. Much respect.

[@LoopFerrigno]

Maybe my favorite Rhythm Roulette-Episode. He used all three records and flips the samples instead of just straight looping. Respect.

[@ceeazy1833]

Everyone, the song from the intro is "Slimkid3 & DJ Nu Mark - I Know, Didn't". Njoy!

[@pius4peace]

+Cees Thank`s bro!

[@prod.bynil-oh7440]

darondo- didn't i

[@BeuhBeul]

Thx dude, was searchin for it!

[@kerow009]

Nu Mark is legend I won't expecting anything less from him.

[@robertduval1843]

So inspirational. Black Milk and this one are the best so far. Period

[@OverlorBeats]

This is one of my favorite episodes nice chops and arrangements. Nice Work DJ Nu-mark I am a fan. They should do an Unsigned Roulette I would love to do an official one!!

[@SeanofAllTrades]

Wow. This is the most confident and masterful Rhythm Roulette I've seen. Guy just grabbed some stuff and killed it.

[@kwapedog]

sweet lab Nu-mark!! and beat of course

[@TasteTheD]

Buzzing when i heard "Breezin" by George Benson, I play that record out all the time!

[@FlipJackson]

WOW! I remember I found that George Benson record in the dollar bin years ago. I've had it for years and listened to it and here there and didn't hear them guitars like that. Shoutout to DJ Nu-Mark for tearing it up this episode! #Salute @massappeal

[@T-o-m-s]

I live in Antibes and the Jazz festival where Mingus at Antibes was recorded in the 60 still exist every summer. I just discovered and heard a piece of history from my home town thanks to you ! cheers

[@beniota1141]

Have watched them all. This stands out as the best flip. Nu Mark is on another level

[@LoopFerrigno]

I'm a 100% old school guy. I use my MPC, my S900 and strictly 50-70s vinyl for my beats. One beat = one floppy disc. But thats just me. This shows that you can make dope sample based music with any equipment, just be respectful to the game, learn your craft and don't be too lazy to try and learn new things. And sampling is true art!! I play 6 diffrent instrument and I'm classical trained, but I still make old skool beats, because its an artform for itself!

[@slytown]

DJ Ezasscul sampled that George Benson guitar loop for the track Counting with Jun, a tribute compilation to Nujabes.

[@jaysteelo9419]

I've never heard of DJ Nu Mark before. But he seems like a real laid back dude who made an amazing beat. I'll have to check him out.

[@DaLilMobsta]

his is the only one where he takes samples from every record. What else would you expect from a legend though. Best one yet!!

[@thugspoet]

still viewing in 2017....this and large p episode truly in a difference class

[@ahmedbreezo6499]

Clean studio. Cool chops. Nice beat.

[@interioroutlines4633]

Uncle nu knows his way round the record shop even with a blindfold on and can feel the beats on the vinyl like braille. Its not fair.

[@Bigfitz2]

This that summer time late night with the top down feel at least to me

[@alredman3949]

One of the dopest beats I've heard on Rythm Roulette

[@mcbluematter]

This one was amazing ! Next one should be Dj Exile !!

[@Juheardmeshun]

This is real dope. The beat is very peaceful n mellow.

[@BarbatrucoProduccionesNetlabel]

Hard it is to find something bad made by Nu-Mark ,greetings from southamerica

[@stillspeakin]

Nu Mark is genius...dig his stylez.

[@tonywalker8989]

Shared the stage with this man in Reno @ GSR for Jurassic 5's 20 Year Anniversary. Humble pie, talented and still driven. Bless

[@thugspoet]

still my fav episode...was happy to see he posted the beat on soundcloud even though I wish it was longer, I am still grateful

[@HOVA09]

His studio is HEAVEN!!!!!!

[@switchmastah]

this may have just become my favorite episode

[@francishunter5168]

Nice episode! I had to watch it again. That give inspiration love from Canada @UncleNu

[@MsBeatJunkie]

UncleNu 😍😍😍😍 this is no.1 on fav RR list. What an awesome way to end the series for 2014

[@brynsteinburg]

AWESOME !!! UNCLE NU ! NICE WORK !

[@ambushed10304]

His studio is sooooo nice! (his dog too haha) Fo sure one of the best rhythm roulette !!

[@rx69_grandzaddy84]

EASILY the best beat I have heard on rythm roullete, dope ass beat and man thats a dope ass setup too

[@Dennis_Reynolds_Golden_God]

Dooooooooooope. This is the best one in forever.

[@Bricks_shakur]

very dope beat, this concept is everlasting i love mass appeal

[@evymatthew9385]

Nice. Love the way he marks the records with a Sharpie LOL

[@guillaumem3572]

You should drop a mixtape with all the beats from "Rythm Roulette" !

[@mcnulty1988]

Real nice, best 1 for ages!

[@tommytucker12112]

best production so far on Rhythm Roulette! Terrific sampling bruh

[@VizionHeiry]

I agree but Mingus & Benson? Who could fail with that? Still he did use all 3 records...and I think he's the only 1 so he gets respect for that. It was an amazing beat too & he paired the samples with his ears, not that much tweaking. He may have perfect pitch.

[@cazzie902]

Wow.. This is grade A! Doesn't sound like it was thrown together. Challenge accepted and completed!

[@unclenu]

Big ups to you BLAKnoize Thanks for peepin

[@ottogreenjr.7857]

Wow! Mega dope session! I hope a nice flow accompanies this track keep me posted!

[@xcosmox21]

That was awesome! So talented

[@leonardocastro6825]

The Best 'ive Heard!

[@alexmathewmendoza]

Excellent episode. It really demonstrated his talents and intuition for what he does.

[@agreatwhite]

I respect that he skips the samples he's heard before to challenge himself further. The beat came out dope. One of my favorite RR yet

[@sdp4008]

This guy is a legend imo. He's very solid producer, and he can rock a live show with the best of them.

[@TuMalditaMadre]

I literally just got that George Benson album today at Goodwill for $0.69 on a junk bin dig. I have a couple of other George Benson albums somewhere in my bins and he hasn't done me wrong when I'm making beats. Crazy how I've seen this episode 3 times and I didn't recognize this was the album.

[@joeym6730]

Wow!! DJ Nu Mark was not messing around. He killed it!!! Nicely done!!

[@thelastloopbender2147]

This is the best one of these Ive seen so far.

[@odenzl4548]

dope! really dig how you bounced around the studio adding different elements here and there.

[@JonaMo0]

This shit is so tight. I'm sold with buying a record player and tapping into random records for production exercises.

[@maxwell_young]

this is the best ever! and a dope studio! im keen to look this guy up now.

[@TheNathtube]

Best one yet, well done Nu-Mark great beat.

[@calebsupple1279]

Those Benson Chops were immaculate

[@mrawsome131]

SICK! best one yet

[@jaymays8800]

That Darondo sample sounds good in that intro beat. Numark is a production genius and R.I.P. Nujabes. Gone way too soon. ... J

[@VincentDeCowans]

One of the best beats yet on this channel !!

[@TheOMasterJ]

Feeling the main sample he used. Its dope to see how different producers sample

[@BIGDO13]

Nu-Mark been nice with it.... Like what he did here...

[@zotzcrew1893]

not only did dj nu-mark make a sick beat, he had a sick watch too, AND one of the best set-ups I've seen. goodness

[@GizLee]

Really nice done! This is in my top 5 Rhytm Roulette together with DJ Babus, that beat killed it!

[@JothaEphe]

I love the space on his studio.

[@tamalhi]

Sick beat! I hope to have this kind of creativity and ingenuity as I progress too! Mad respect!

[@EffDinero8]

His set up is serious!!!!

[@ryanochoa9947]

Nujabes used Jose Feliciano's song Affirmation to create the beat for Counting Stars. The guitar in Nu-Mark's beat is from George Benson's cover of Affirmation.

[@jonathangarcia3306]

One of my favorites off this whole series!!

[@DeejayClassick]

along with the Marco Polo one, one of the best episodes so far

[@djflashb]

Great stuff and to be honest i wasn't expecting something less from Nu Mark.The guy is a beast

[@DennisPerkinsIV]

Man great video. Love the studio and the is so smooth.

[@xkidmidnightx]

Nu killed it. This is how it should be done. All 3 records used

[@lassembleurbeatmacoeur4077]

Very nice studio !! What a vinyls collection ! Awesome ;)

[@honzscott6067]

This is Master craftsmanship.

[@lemlimora]

Nu is a beast! Highly UNDER RATED!

[@Gosdatwork]

Really dope one of tha best on here
