With the Beat Fights, I've been cycling through some older beats. Came across this one from 2015. Mostly sampled. I layered in some additional instruments (piano stabs, sustained horns, and bass).

Kinda amazed that this was done entirely in Maschine - back then I was doing full arrangements in Maschine and just exporting to GarageBand for MP3 rendering.

For context, I was getting back into the 90s/Boom-bap sound quite a bit and listening to a lot of old-school stuff. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Boom Bap

Jazzy

Old School

It reminds me of the vibe of Us3, that kind of jazzy sound, the chords and so on. And the song flows as if it were played by a band. The very open spatial sound has every instrument placed on a different layer—right/left, front/background, reverb... Nice one!
