Love this beat - "Morning Sun" by Vanilla

Stumbled upon this dope beat. Love the sample chops, the crackling vinyl, smooth drums. Makes me feel good, inspired and bounce.

Check out "Morning Sun" by Vanilla

Elaquent

I found out about Elaquent by surfing around on Soundcloud and Band Camp. This producer from Ottawa, Ontario makes soulful, electronic, smooth, night-cruising beats for days. I encourage you to give his music a try if you're down with beatstrumentals like I am.

You can now find him amongst a solid roster of beat producers on the Huh What & Where ("HW&H") Recordings.

Looking for a chance to see this dude live.

Check some of his tracks below.

Oh the first track that got me hooked was "Teddy Bear." Smooth - I love that bassline!

Some more MPC goodness - Abstrakt Ideas

Thought I would share another great beat tape that I found on Bandcamp. Nodding my head on beat  as I work until the early morning hours on projects.

Looking for chill beats and samples. Ladies and gentlemen check out Abstrakt Idea - Beats, Blunts & Burgers Vol. 1.

In search of GOOD music? Check out www.bandcamp.com

I'm always in search of good music. What is good music you ask? Not sure what it means to you. To me, there's no formula that makes a song or artist grab my attention. I just know what I like when it hits my ear.

I can tell what I don't like and that is about 90 percent of the music that is played over and over until I sometimes think about ejecting myself from my car into oncoming traffic.

Enter Bandcamp

This site is packed with independent, unsigned geniuses hiding safely away from the wack, soul-draining Pop radio stations. I don't hate Pop, I just can't stand how stations play songs over and over again. If Rihanna's "S&M" song were a human it would be a beaten, cracked-out, violated, shell-of-a-man laying on an abandon street.

Type in whatever you are thinking... Go ahead -> "hip-hop", "Reggae", "Rock", "DubStep", etc. Whatever you type results in an endless list of shit-you've-never-heard-before wicked music. HEAVEN!

I typed in "MPC beats"... I randomly picked an artist by the name Admin PaYne. Next thing I know I was banging my head to his beat tape titled "20 Beats in 20 Days!"

Check out www.bandcamp.com - it's beautiful.
