Good in the morning, Good in the afternoon, and Good in the evening! Golden all the time!!!

[@endeiks]

Space is the place!

[@AngryAndy_]

Hot Damn ... @8:08 thats some dope cold hiting neck breakin; funkomatic shizz right there

[@_samtaylorrr]

Really like this format. One thing that's so helpful is deep diving the artist and record info, genre, facts etc. It really helps ones knowledge and helps narrow down things one might like / dislike / search for when digging. So I appreciate these big time!

[@mpchead]

Yeah refining the idea as I go but yeah it feels good to dig through the history of the artists and records

[@dillipphunbar7924]

Liking this esoteric vibe. Interesting background. Unfortunately, John Cage's audio was very low. That short video at the beginning was cool. I love these little snapshots into the past; like the cars, sidewalks; messages and the font used on the door. Perhaps I'm being nostalgic.

[@Ardspans]

Awesome! Thank you.

[@into.cassette]

dope flip! 🔥🔥🔥

[@gooneybird808]

Hell ya

[@DJ279V]

The weird stuff is where it's at, especially taking stuff that sound normal and completely transforming it into something unusual. Sun-Ra's creations are a separate world of its own; reminds me alot of Pierre Henry with more jazz influence.

[@mpchead]

Yeah and if not for sampling just taking ideas for arrangement is also great.

[@dannygrahamjr]

Quality content, keep it going. Really dope beat too.

[@srock303]

🔥🔥🔥

[@danieltschitsch6893]

That beat is dope! Reminds me of Def Jux stuff, company flow, cannibal ox…

[@NizukBeatmakerBoomBap]

🔥🔥🔥 Dope sounds!

[@poppeku69]

❤🙏

[@daanbaas2962]

Thanks for the video 😃Great to hear you digging and sampling Sun Ra, one of my all-time favorite musicians. Remember: Space is the Place!

[@droneoperatr9998]

good video and good taste in music

[@garethjones7182]

You're sampling two of my favorite artists, nice

[@mpchead]

That's cool! Thanks for watching

[@SclimBeats]

educational gems

[@MXXKRXX]

sun ra!! madlib is a big fan

[@danielsolomon63]

Premo would be envious of this flip! Amazing beat!

[@d-roo1563]

For sure! Top shelf 🏆🥇🎧

[@d-roo1563]

Damn Digs 💯❤️ You’re videos are just getting more artistic and insightful. Love the style. I enjoy how you stay in YOUR creative pocket yet allow the artistic essence of other’s influence your growth. Beautiful homie. Thanks & Gilakas’la!

[@RemyGold]

@946 you sound so much like Christopher Walken

[@MS-1]

Love that classic album. Good choice. Got me looking at my Cage collection again.

[@Hiphophouse90]

SUN RA is definitely Celestial Being i've being checking is music and man its music from out there !!!

[@regmonmusic]

Happy New Year!!!

[@mpchead]

Happy new year!!

[@TheFlippertube]

Hells yeah, Sun Ra. The deepest rabbit hole in Jazz. The results you demonstrated remind me a bit of USSR Repertoire.

[@mpchead]

😂true

[@hervey782]

awesome episode Marlow ,thank you !! Please more of this sort 👌🔥

[@jonhollinsworth8785]

LCC that makes sense to your approach. And the best Skate spots in London are in that area! Another stellar video!

[@emobmx69]

Never heard of them but I will have my eye out for them!!!

[@derlazynist2035]

It's great to see you talk more about your inspirations and the music behind your beats. Keep it up. Excited about every upload of yours! Greetings from Germany

[@mpchead]

peace Germany ✌🏼

[@traitortotheliving]

Excellent vid Marco I really enjoyed this one. Love the evolution of the channel these past few years. John Cage has been a huge influence on me and my sound experiments. Great stuff man keep ‘em coming 🔥

[@mpchead]

Appreciate it thanks for tuning in ✌🏼

[@donload5139]

I did not know about those two artists, thank you for the discovery ! I'll dig'em for sure

[@unanimousarts]

Love using weird stuff in my beat production. I also love Sun Ra, but I honestly didn’t know he had vinyl with just weird sounds. I only heard 1 or 2 records of him rapping. Thanks for sharing and cool segment! I think this might be a popular thing on your channel.

[@3ck]

Dope video. I like to see someone else who sample free jazz. It always gives a special vibe to the beats. So many possibilities. All the best to you in new year and thanx for another dope vid.

[@PeteOnTheBeat]

Sun Ra is crazy af :D I dunno what to do with it tbh

[@Ink0ne415]

Happy new year my G, love what you did last year in the beat looking forward to see what you bring this year.

[@mpchead]

Happy new year!! Working hard to have a great year, let's go 💪🏼

[@almalgarvia]

Mestre!!!

[@mpchead]

Abraço ✌🏼

[@RalphLBaer]

Man thanks for putting me on to this. This is a gold mine

[@mpchead]

No problem 👍

[@playloud8069]

John Cage...Velvet Underground

[@user1756]

Nice Marlow!

good play man.

[@loricblanca3588]

Salut ,encore une vidéo fort sympathique !!!une très bonne année,tous mes vœux pour 2023 !from France !!😁👍👍

[@mpchead]

Bonne année 🎊

[@unclassedmedia]

nice to hear you dig these guys too, makes a lot of sense tho.

[@ceydrusjames4169]

Fire

[@DaDa-kf4vp]

ive definitely come by Sun Ra on my "obscure jazz music from the 60s-70s" youtube sample searches. Might have to relisten, what i heard was off putting on its own, but you make a good point about random interesting sounds to sample.

[@mpchead]

Yeah, the music can sound weird specially to newcomers to the music, it's an acquired taste but I resonate with you that some songs are a bit too much for me too.

[@DaDa-kf4vp]

@@mpchead do you have a SoundCloud where you share your beats?

[@mafiacefalicarecords]

Profissionalismo extremo nos beats! Máximo respeito.❤🎧

[@mpchead]

Obrigado 🙏🏼

[@fire.aux.chords]

Vinyl Wednesdays is the best kept secrets

[@mpchead]

Thanks for watching ✌🏼

[@JayRaTheRu]

Excited to see this. I might have to make a SunRa flip of my own so we can flood him in the algorithm haha. About to watch this vid now, I'm ready!

[@mpchead]

Go for it!

[@DaDa-kf4vp]

@@mpchead Would be cool if you held a beat review where you give us producers a song to sample and see who comes up with the best track. I sometimes submit to Bolo da Producers weekly beat review. He charges 10$ for a beat submission. You could make some extra cash and we could form a Boom bap old school sampling community.

[@V.Oliveira]

👍

[@DDaniels3000]

Would love to see how your using the dust collector multi fx box ..

[@mpchead]

Not using it much actually, that's why I haven't made a video on it. A bit meh 😒

[@itzdm0r3]

Yeah I'm hip to Sun Ra, I like that beat you came up with.

[@mpchead]

Thanks bro

[@ceciliafbrown373]

Cheers Marco! Sun Ra is definitely one of those avant garde artists. Was introduced to him by King Brit who has produced some good music with SRs work.

[@mpchead]

Very cool! Sun Ra has some much to discover it's incredible.

[@ceciliafbrown373]

@@mpchead Keep digging my friend.

[@joshuahelmeke]

Steve Reich is another pioneer along the lines of John Cage.

[@mpchead]

Yes he is

[@robertk6258]

Hey bro, Robert here (stereo magik on Spotify) as someone new to sampling, what would you recommend? I am of the opinion instead of spending a grand on a record player and an mpc, I can get results by using things like tracklib and splice for samples. Sample packs and such, love your work on the channel so thought you'd be a good person to ask. Nice one

[@mpchead]

KZbin is free

[@jesusblack2646]

Yo Marlow I have something I’ve really been struggling with I feel like I’m not comfortable with short 4 bar samples I always feel like I need them longer and I’m wondering is a sample as long as 8 to 12 bars ideal in sampling beat making?

[@mpchead]

not really. the struggle of sampling is that. You gotta make it work with smaller chops or loops

[@hobonickel840]

thanks for content! ...new sub and newb question: I've noticed almost everyone mostly capturing audio samples from phono records. why is this preferred over cd's or streaming? I hardly come across anyone pulling sound from cd's.

[@mpchead]

Audio quality, analog, and just love for vinyl. You can sample from anything, no rules.

[@Sergio-nb4hj]

CDs are outdated in general. If people want crisp digitized audio, they're going to pull from streaming not CDs (which is the case for the majority of young bedroom producers)

[@hobonickel840]

@@Sergio-nb4hj thanks it makes perfect sense... trying to learn about existing limitations and best ways and tools around sampling. Such a overwhelmingly diverse world now. I messed around with this stuff years ago and really enjoyed it but holy shit jungle has evolved the word dense is an understatement

[@Mr.TeETH78]

Weird? Hell nah. As a sampler if you don’t have an open mind about “music” you will miss many gems!

[@tomdunn6416]

Keep being weird

[@mpchead]

[@wm1573]

my neck hair rises and i cringe hard every time you rub your hands together. they sound so dry 😆

[@stephensoto2126]

Less beat making, more talking???
