I’ll be posting more often due to my recent decision to cut off ties with the Friendly Networking Monolith known as Facebook – I had been more active in posting things I liked there.

I’ve been cooped up in the lab for a few days not feeling well and letting my body cleanse itself out. During that time I was catching up on some crate/internet digging finds and came across The Isley Brothers’ “Love Put Me On the Corner” from ’72. Souled On has a great writeup about it and the original track for download.

Below is a two-day beat – I’m still missing my ultrasone HFI-450′s (They recently took them back and repaired them for me — thank you Ultrasone!) and am doing my mixing on a laptop and some harman/kardon $25 computer speakers. Because I can’t hear what I’m writing, I had to go out of my way and use the single catchy element that needs no $1000+ monitors: silence. It was a process of clipping away and being more mindful of sample uses. It meant 2 and 4-step loops instead of 2-bar loops.

There are about 6 different samples in this track. Can you name them…?

Feedback is always welcome, and especially from strangers.
