Where Ya At? Segment 1

Producer Damu the Fudge Monk

[@gakdaniels76]

All these Damu clips are gold.I can't even count how many times I've watched all of them over the years.Perfect remedy for writers block.There has been many times I have had to been reminded of the essence.

[@jjbing3]

So basic and straightforward, but still dope. 💪🏾

[@brmbkl]

"Perfect remedy for writers block" Makes me feel young again. Damu is the avatar of my mid life crisis, and Im enjoying every minute of it.

[@electric_kool-aid]

This man should be held in high regard just like Pete Rock and J Dilla. Not many people know this man and he's like another Dilla.

[@hypebeastdad]

I still appreciate this video over 10 years later. Still at it.

[@hashbrunz]

"it's very simple - you sit down, and make a beat" man I love Damu so much

[@PepitoMegaChocolato]

technically the truth haha

[@ruffiankick]

14 years later this video is still ILL! Crazy how time flies!

[@deeal5336]

U ain’t lyin bro.

[@crayyawn]

DAMU! The man. i love this guy, what a humble, awesome dude who just makes the sweetest music.. i could listen to him talk about hip hop and do his thing all day.

[@tharaml]

Thats true man, also keep in mind that his collection of vinyls maybe is worth a couple of thousands. it takes alot of money, patience and time to own a basement looking like that, something that people tend to forget.

[@favouritethings11]

This is better than school

[@DileoFilms]

I wish I could hear some of Damu's beats back when he was 17

[@casmo87]

This dude is the fuckin' man. been following for many years. love his work

[@annbjer]

A personal favourite and living legend!

[@hawkrolla]

Fantastic Damu has been my favorite DJ since the first time I heard him.

[@corywilliams458]

Thank You for sharing your process!,....we have to give them praise whn we see their workflow!....Im frm the Pete Rock,Marley,Prince Paul era, & these were GUARDED SECRETS!

[@de0ndre]

Old school with it, & his workplace screams passion. glad I found this video again though; haven't seen it in ages.

[@lennybeatz]

this guy is such an inspiration... After I've been watching a video with him I go back to my akai and become so much more productive. Thank you for being so creative and real at the same time...

[@LoopFerrigno]

Thank you for sharing! I can't put it into words how much his videos meant to me, when he started back in the day on youtube! #BeatmakersUnited

[@DClean]

That was dope as hell. Makes a man wanna make beats. Plus this dude is a huge fan of Pete Rock, thats my favorite producer too. Bam.

[@Eturnal718]

Props to Damu for keepin it Analog and putting his own twist on on doing things Old School!!! Dope Music!!!

[@ramseydoon8277]

Spectacular feature, thanks for sharing this!

[@albertod4161]

That's what's man I subbed to your channel keep up the good work man

[@jjbing3]

First record was funky 💪🏾

[@LoneDrum]

I agree! I've been watching these dope damu stuff for ages and this video just shows that he is one of the dopest producers at the moment! "Its vintage with a new twist on it" 7:02

[@YariBeatsMedia]

never take the years in the making for granted. much success to you bro.

[@unready56]

Damu is as dope as it gets

[@holy0damn]

damn i gotta open up that video every time just to listen to that flute beat...

[@Abstraiit]

i like his workplace

[@corc1992]

That's how you can tell he's a genius at what he's doing. Productive people have messy rooms.

[@SET123321]

first beat is magic!

[@encdee]

"...you know 'pause'. As they say.." Lol

[@Saintboss]

Beautiful Damu.... Nuff said !

[@nuffsd]

That'z whutz up DaMu, good luck getting thru the fuckin politics of those that don't know shit about the music or the whole essence of the culture for that matter. Support the underground people and the independent artist. That means making real purchases of the artist and their music.

[@tonysmith5878]

DAMU BROTHER....U DON'T EVEN HAVE TO DO ANYTHING IN THESE VIDEOS BUT TALK AND U WOULD STILL BE AN INSPIRATION....SALUTE!!!!!!!!

[@rmcphedr]

what is the beat that starts at :08? that shit is flames!

[@karlthunderaxe]

@cutdafukup the floppy disks are because that's the format the MPC-2000 uses. they didn't have zip drives back then.

[@baghirolu384]

I love this dude!

[@ewanmerrett]

i love seeing how much he blatently loves making music

[@ruffiankick]

he probably uses it when hes On The Go, but its hard to tell, cause he also take that MPC2000 out on the streets to..

[@bbcash3360]

He's the conscientious soul of the Hip Hop world

[@Eturnal718]

WORD true school!!! I met him 2wice. once in madison square park and the second time at fat beats. Hes a good humble person and definitely glad i got to meet him. Hope he comes out to NYC again ad im sure he will!!!

[@mabus2007]

next to pete rock in my books, much love homie hit me up when you got time Blessings Mabus

[@wudsiba]

I'd love to see a tutorial on using the lowpass filter to get to the drums. I'd also love to know how you work with a sample that you have just sped up by just spinning the record real fast... Amazing. Where's part 2?

[@xuniversalx635]

💎🔥💎🔥💎

[@fuckooo]

Damn man he didn't even have max RAM for his MP back then

[@rockbwoyindabuilding5397]

he still doesn’t he likes the limitations

[@kcutz]

Absolutely brilliant.

[@karlthunderaxe]

@cheddab0b that's part of it, because it will reduce the sample rate. also, the old digital samplers had lower bitrates. then, sampling from vinyl, and pushing your volume levels well past the distortion point. all of those things contribute to the gritty sound. all things that can be emulated on computers, too, but the original techniques just sound like that naturally.

[@CMVMic]

0:09 NUFF SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what the name of it though...if it aint on youtube it should be! lovin it

[@MuzikJunky]

DJ Premier is a surprisingly nice and down-to-earth cat. Met the brotha at Fat Beats in NY twice. Peace.

[@infyouth]

Well yeah Chedda slowing down the sample COUPLED with the way you filter the sample(s) within the options the MPC provides will give you a grittier sound.

[@Innacut]

damu is that ish! love this guy

[@albionpatterns3986]

That turntable does a 78 speed? Thats gotta sound so gritty when pitched down

[@samluit]

SP 303 was his first sampler

[@pimpinnevaslipin]

*And for the few who did hit thumbs down(for reasons unknown). . you don't know SHIT ABOUT HIP HOP MUSIC*. . . **end of rant** Very good job spitting musical knowledge Damu. .

[@ConfusedTrap]

I will personally find money and pay the cat who can find this 1st beat. No punchline or joke

[@jerbaume]

legend in the making!

[@canemcanem]

hes peacefull and his beats are dreams with tentakelz !

[@rmcphedr]

man, that first beat makes my heart explode

[@sicflip47]

on the 2000 how does he slow it down with no timestretch?

[@PeakResetProductions]

wise man speaking the truth!!! dazz wuzz up!!! Feel u fully!! DJ PEAK

[@ShaolinSnowman]

[@ishank34]

[@fingflava]

[@susu-mi7kx]

LEGENDARY!!!!!

[@risch]

R.I.P. Orpheus. cool video

[@jussikuha]

Where is segment 2?!

[@corc1992]

Search for Damu The Fudgemunk - 3 Rare Beats. You can hear the entire intro beat there but it's super low quality because it was record live, probably on someone's phone or something.

[@bow2urepnoy]

23 damn... from your sounds you make yourself seem like mid 30's or something hahah I'm jealous.. at age 17 getting your first sampler... I'm 17 and all I have is Reason 3.0 haha... I'm deprived! I want myself an MPC... I'm tired of clicking...

[@fatbastardbeats]

11 years later, where did life take you?

[@Maxtheyellowlabrador]

[@HeaddressScreen]

[@producerworld]

haha i agree. i have one and wanna sell it. damu has one but it just sits on the shelf

[@encdee]

im damu the fudge monk. you know "pause", as they say.... lol

[@mrkeekee]

i know exactly what he means when he says he stayed up for three days. when i first got mine there was so many ideas i had in my head for years i just let it all out and got to work immediately... didn't leave that thing for atleast 52 hours

[@Ashcononline]

@deelib96 you put a low pass filter on it..so you can just hear the bass of the sample..

[@MuzikJunky]

Not old school--TRUE SCHOOL! Peace.

[@karlthunderaxe]

@h1ph0p1 should be an option on your EQ, low-pass filter or LPF.

[@EUMmusic]

Sampling at 78rpm!!

[@laoluhundeyin]

It looks like a Yamaha MG series mixer.

[@stizzulka]

superb

[@txt2k3]

@CMVMic Thanks a lot man i read up on that hopefully it does come out I really digg the beat

[@kupowns]

What's the first beat name?
