DJ Rhettmatic – Excerpts From The SP1200 Volume 1.5 [Beat Tape]

DJ Rhettmatic hits us with a new instrumental project, titled “Excerpts From The SP1200 Volume 1.5”. Says Rhettmatic: “It’s practically 4:08am, Wednesday morning. It is officially my birthday. I’ve been up all night burning the midnight oil to finish this particular project so I can keep the tradition of releasing new or unreleased music for free on my birthday. I have been doing this for the last few years. Some of you might know some of the projects I released: My Stevie Wonder mix (Wonderland), the Aloe Blacc/Rhettmatic unreleased album, just to name a few. One of the other projects I released for free was the Excerpts From The SP1200 Beat Compilation. it’s some of my unreleased SP1200 beats that I made between the years of 1994-1998. Fast forward during towards the last days of April 2017, for whatever reason, I just had the urge to make a beat on the EMU SP1200 Drum Machine Sampler. It is my first ever Recording Equipment that I ever made beat with. I purchased the SP1200 for $2500 back in 1991 & made beats for the Kozmonautz album, the first 2 Visionaries album, & a few Underground Indy Hip Hop records during the early & mid 90’s. Turning on the machine & hearing old beats, got me inspired to see if I can make beats with it again. Man…..I forgot how difficult it was use in terms of really sampling and chopping up music & programming. And here’s the real kicker, compare to

Aloe Blacc & DJ Rhettmatic – Blaccmatic (Unreleased 2004) [Album]

DJ Rhettmatic and Aloe Blacc liberate a previously-unreleased project from 2004, titled “Blaccmatic”. Says Rhettmatic: How this project came about is basically, both Aloe & myself were at some type of crossroad in terms of what we wanted to do as artists, individually. Aloe was taking a break from Emanon in terms of exploring, recording solo projects & working with different artists….Exile was in the process of becoming the producer he is known today by working on his own solo projects as well as crafting an album with a young, talented MC by the name of “Blu”. As for me, I was also trying to expand my horizons as a producer. Everyone knows me mostly for being a DJ/Turntablist from the Beat Junkies & the only production work that I did that people are aware of is with the Visionaries. I wanted to branch out & work with different artists as well to see what else I can do that I can’t normally do with my own group. I was luckily enough to have Aloe open to the idea in working with me. Around this time period, I was solely using the Akai MPC2000 for my main production equipment, & made a few beats on EMU SP1200 Drum Machine Sample (Listen to the album & guess which machine I used). We recorded 14 songs but had really 11 strong songs. I just remember listening to our project & saying “Wow…Aloe is incredible!”. The plan was to shop the project but

The Visionaries – All Along [Audio]

The Visionaries’ song “All Along” is the first official new song from the West Coast Hip Hop Super Group in 10 years. Rhett samples his good friend, the talented producer/musician/composer Adrian Younge in the latest Visionaries song. Emcees Key-Kool, LMNO, Dannu, 2Mex, & Lord Zen all trade verses over a haunting yet heavy drum break beat talking about bucking the system! The other Double A-Side song, “Stratasphere” is a new song from Crown Royale (Jamall Bufford of The Black Opera & Rhettmatic). Jamall fka Buff1 gets down on a spacey Boom Bap track that Rhett lays down along with traditional scratch chorus hooks, on some dynamic duo DJ/MC steeze.
