Producers please DON’T SLEEP on my beat making contest. Enter now!

Marco Polo holiday beat making contest for purchasers of Pad Thai!

Rules:

1) All entries must own “Pad Thai” Vol.1 Your order # grants you entry. (You receive the order# when you buy it from www.marcopolobeats.com or thedrumbroker.com). Please do not enter if you don’t own Pad Thai. If you don’t own it, no problem, head over to www.marcopolobeats.com orwww.thedrumbroker.com and cop it!

2) Make a beat using any sounds from my drum kit. Of course you can use your own loops, samples, whatever you want just make sure something from Pad Thai is used to construct the beat. I’d prefer it to be obvious but even one sound is fine.

3) Email your best beat to padthaibeats@gmail.com (only 1 beat please.) make sure you include your Pad Thai order # and all your info. The deadline for submissions is Monday January 11th, 2015. I will pick the winner (the beat I think is the best) on Friday, January 16th 2015.

The winner receives the following:

1) Any drums & bass sounds from 2 of my productions not included in “Pad Thai” Vol. 1. Just tell me the name of the songs and the drums & bass sounds are yours.

2) I will personally email/submit the winning beat to any rapper you want and let them know you got a banger (within reason of course…y’all know who I work with so please don’t ask for Jay Z or Nas or Kendrick hahaha.)

3) 1 free digital download of any of any album in my catalog.

4) 30 minutes with me in the studio via skype, phone or messenger (not in person, sorry Mischa don’t like guests). You can play me beats and get feedback or ask any production questions you want while I smoke Newports. If you make hot shit I’m happy to help you get your beats to some MC’s. Rappers always need beats.

Sound good?

Let the beat making begin and if you have any questions, please ask them in the comments. Happy Holidays everyone!

Marco.

Twelve Bit Soul (SP-1200 Drum Samples) – Video

Download Here: http://bit.ly/1wVQZKX

Straight from the Divided Souls Productions sound lab comes a collection of kicks, snares, and percussion that has been simmering in the cauldron, waiting to be released to the world in all of their 12-Bit glory. While many kits boldly claim to have their origin in the E-mu SP-1200, these elements were recorded directly from the vintage analog drum machine with minimal processing. Twelve Bit Soul offers the classic warmth and feeling that many of today’s filters and processors claim to capture, while still falling short of the genuine article.

This latest assortment embodies years of painstaking digging and editing to get the sound just right, with many of these hits being featured in sounds from David Banner, Stat Quo, Public Enemy and more. Within each folder, discover how the worlds of analog and digital can mesh with today’s production. Simply put: hard-hitting, analog drums are timeless, living on as trends come and go. Throughout Twelve Bit Soul, the kicks and snares deliver an essential foundational component, a certain sonic knock that can provide the extra push in your production.

Features 324 total 12-Bit // SP-1200 Sounds including:

  • 39 Hi-Hats & Percussion
  • 150 Kicks & Toms
  • 135 Snares & Claps

Kingsway Music Library presents ‘Lap of Luxury Vol. 2’ by Frank Dukes

Kingsway Music is proud to introduce the follow up release to the wildly popular ‘Lap of Luxury’ sample library, ‘Lap of Luxury Vol. 2’ by composer / multi instrumentalist  Maneesh “M-Rock” Bidaye. This collection of 11 original compositions inspired by the lush orchestrations and arrangements of composers from the 70s such as Isaac Hayes, Lamont Dozier, and Thom Bell is a producers dream.

Maneesh was inspired by the sounds and recording techniques of this era and sought to create a project that felt organic with a wide range of dynamic in each song,  creating endless creative possibilities for other music makers.

Never have another record shelved due to sample clearance issues!

‘Lap of Luxury Vol. 2’ was created  with sample based producer, DJ, and beatmaker who wants original music to chop, flip, and arrange into dope beats without the hassle of digging through endless stacks of vinyl or worrying about sample clearance issues.
