I have been needing a new control keyboard for a minute now. This keyboard has a combination of the features I have been looking for: A drum pad, semi-weighted keys, and assignable sliders and knobs. Plus it even has play/pause and record buttons.
Look out for videos coming out soon which will have me pounding away at this beast to make it roar.
The iconic Bassline studios, which served as home base for the Roc-a-Fella Records in their glory days and threw their decline, is shuttering. In this video Just Blaze shares with LTD magazine some of his fondest memories of Baseline and explains the significance of the building.

Taz from Sa-ra Creative Partners has generated a lot of attention to himself of late. Partly by dressing like he is the second coming of Andre 3000 but also because he is gifted record producer with more to offer than just music. This video shows off his other creative pursuits and lets you into his studio.
Be prepared, he’s kinda a wierdo.

Inside The Session with Kirby Krackle from GMK on Vimeo.
This video comes from the homie GMK. He films himself while in a studio session with a Seattle group called Kirby Krackle. I have known GMK for quite a while now music has always been central to his life. If  you meet him it doesn’t take long to realize that it is his number 1 passion.
Thats why it makes me so happy to see all of the opportunities that are coming his way. He has really earned it. GMK is a inspiration to other aspiring artists showing them what one can become if they keep working at it. You can follow him on his Blog GMK Brilliant Reality.

On a recent trip to LA I was able to catch up with my good friend and a constant source of inspiration, Sebino. We sat in his humble studio apartment in Los Feliz and he shared with me a few new songs and his new approach to beats.
This track is a collaboration he did with a local MC. It’s super hot, and I think it is a good representation of Sebino’s beats. However, with full access to the LA School of Recording other new tracks he showed me had a strong live element.
He has been collaborating with a ton of talented folks who help him garnish his beats by adding drums, bass, keys, and guitar.
Check out more music from Sebino here.
