Ski Beatz – 12 Bit Soul

ski-beatz-drum-kit-12-bit

The ledgendary Ski Beatz repping that 12 Bit Soul from Divided Souls Productions.

Ski Beatz:



Adaptability is something craved by anyone seeking longevity, irrespective of profession. As trends come and go and “now” morphs into “then,” finding relevancy is more and more elusive. Ski Beatz (a/k/a Ski) is one such producer who embraces the “new” while approaching music with the same mindset that he used when crafting timeless records for Jay-Z, Camp Lo, Fat Joe, Curren$y, and many more. These records have stood the test of time and he continues to add to his growing body of work by the day. The equipment may have transitioned from hardware to software, but the work ethic, dedication, and commitment to the art remain the same. Ski continues to embody the 12 Bit Soul maxim by proving that “man makes the music, not the machine.”

Debut Album from Producer Beatnick Dee – Creative Medicine

creative-medicine-beatnick-dee

Beatnick Dee is gearing up to release his debut album ‘Creative Medicine’ on June 30thvia his crew’s Drumset Music Works imprint. The album features Thes One (of People Under The Stairs), Denitia & Sene, Big Twins (of Infamous Mobb) Pheo, Cashus King, Dynas, Yung Miss and more…

Check out the first two singles and what some tastemakers had to say…

Ketchup & Mustard Feat. Cashus King (Fka Co$$)

Luxurious Rain Feat. Pheo.

“Luxurious Rain” follows the March release of Dee’s popular posse cut “Gone,” and packs a dark, electro vibe that lines up with his hard-hitting west coast banger “Ketchup & Mustard.” -Okay Player

“What does a producer who was born in the Bay Area, raised in England, and now lives in Los Angeles sound like? Beatnick Dee. After working with Blu, Rass Kass, and Army of the Pharaohs, Dee is ready for his debut album, Creative Medicine (6/30). The West Coast funk is strong with this one but also has a fuzzy density to the overall vibe. The album features Denitia & Sene, Cashus King (FKA Co$$), and many others. “Luxurious Rain” features Pheo and one of the more interesting beats of 2015 so far. It sounds like a mix of early A$AP Rocky and Lil Ugly Mane. It also matches the title of the track perfectly.” -Okayplayer

12 Bit Soul Vol. 3

12bit3-concept_large

Divided Souls Productions returns with 12 Bit Soul Vol. 3, the latest installment in their running series. As sound seekers continue to look for new and hard hitting drum sounds, this crew curates a new collection of kicks, snare, hi hats, and percussion elements that embody the character and feel of the records they produce. Each sound is carefully crafted to provide character and a certain level of dynamism for beatmakers and producers to utilize in their own creations, allowing them to leave their indelible mark on music.

Continuing in the theme of “making analog relevant in a digital age,” this collection is steeped in the world of the Emu SP1200. The mark left by this machine is ever-present, with its warmth, punch, and subtle grit enveloping each sound. Regardless of the style of music you make, there is something in this kit that can readily find its way into your work. Irrespective of the genre, 12 Bit Soul Vol. 3 encompasses the ethos of quality over quantity, eschewing the filler and leaving the substance. Then again, that’s what Divided Souls Productions has built its reputation on: giving listeners a home-cooked feel with each song and each sound kit. We hope you enjoy using sounds that we have used or would use in our own production. Take a listen and you’ll see that 12 Bit Soul is more than a machine; it’s a mindset.

Get Familiar!

DJ Evil Dee & Mr. Walt (Da Beatminerz):

In an era when East Coast, Boom Bap production was floundering, Da Beatminerz helped bring this region back to the forefront with gritty debut releases from Black Moon and Smif-N-Wessun. Their signature sound has artists seeking them out from coast-to-coast. The Emu SP1200 formed the backbone of their production and continues to influence their approach to this day. 12 Bit Soul is more than a machine, it’s encompasses all things Hip Hop, and Da Beatminerz are true champions in this arena.

The meaning behind 12 Bit Soul:

When the concept of 12 Bit Soul comes to mind, many people immediately equate it with the Emu SP1200 sampling drum machine and other hardware from that era, evoking images of analog sound. While that may be true, it’s more of an organic approach to making music: taking the warmth of analog but showcasing its relevance in the digital age. 12 Bit Soul exemplifies the concept of music production by keeping one foot firmly rooted in the past while simultaneously looking towards the future. Time is of no consequence as long as quality is at the forefront of every endeavor, thus the ethos of 12 Bit Soul.

DJ Premier:

When Q-Tip rapped “skilled in the ways of the ol’ boom bap,” he wasn’t specifically referring to DJ Premier, but he could have considering no other producer has carried the torch for as long and as consistently. Few boardsmiths in any genre of music can claim the influence that DJ Premier continues to exert. Comfortable in the craft, embracing changes in technology, Preemo embodies the past and present -elements that make 12 Bit Soul special. Whether it’s the MPC60 or the latest incarnation in the famed Akai product line, DJ Premier remains…timeless.

Via Engadget:

“For the aspiring DJs and living room producers, there’s now a way to craft your drum machine chops with nothing more than your favorite web browser. An HTML5-driven site lets you choose between iconic instruments like Roland’s TR-808 and TR-909, alongside Elektron’s Machinedrum, the LinnDrum and a regular ol’ acoustic kit for the luddites. In addition to turning nobs to get the perfect sound, you can save samples for use during your next studio session. What’s more, when you’re all finished, the site allows you to export loops as a WAV file that can be employed in a more robust production app. If you’ll recall, there’s also a web-based MPC that’ll let you try your hand at piecing together samples used by J Dilla and Kanye West. With these two tools in your browser, there’s really no excuse for not exploring that music habit.”

Havoc (feat. Nutso & Sheek Louch) – “What I Rep” (Divided Souls Ent. & DJ Pain 1 Remix)

Havoc (feat. Nutso & Sheek Louch) – “What I Rep” (Divided Souls Ent. & DJ Pain 1 Remix)

A multi-talented emcee and producer whose music has spanned decades, Havoc has proved his talents while hustling both alongside Prodigy, and Mobb Deep, as well as his own solo endeavours. While “What I Rep” is a standout from his 13 Reloaded project that dropped in 2014, its core concept is a testament to the years of abrasive, take no prisoners attitude that the Queens native maintains. The remix, supplied by Divided Souls Ent. & DJ Pain 1, turns up the crime rate a notch, with the addition of an in-your-face verse from Havoc’s borough mate, Nutso. This culminates to a sinister third verse courtesy of Sheek Louch, who educates the younger heads about how far talent can take you. Using various beat kits provided by The Drum Broker, the duo have crafted a stripped down, vintage sound that clicks with the gully flows of each artist. This take on “What I Rep” will be released as a free download, alongside the winning remix of Havoc’s “Uncut Raw” Remix Contest, courtesy of The Drum Broker and DJBooth.

UnkutRaw_RemixContest_600

Out of over 100 remixes, The Drum Broker and DJBooth.net are pleased to announce Aaron Choulai as the winner of our “Uncut Raw” Remix Contest. Despite ranking as the fifth best remix on our public voting widget which posted last Thursday, Aaron’s soulful remix was enough for him to receive the poll position for the final round of judging.

In addition to having the song premiere on AudioMack, Aaron is also set to receive a $1,000 store credit at TheDrumBroker.com, along with a 13 Reloaded T-Shirt, signed CD, and poster. As a bonus for your listening pleasure, we’re pleased to offer the Divided Souls Ent. & DJ Pain 1 Remix of “What I Rep,” which is also taken from Havoc’s 13 Reloaded LP. Along with the original guest feature from Sheek Louch, we find Hav’s boroughmate, Nutso, making a quick cameo for an in-your-face sixteen that’s placed between both veteran’s verses. Crafted using various beat kits provided by The Drum Broker, the duo have crafted a stripped down, vintage sound that clicks with the gully flows of each artist.
