I'm curious, though: do you have any examples of said "salat hitting the field" bass drum sound? > Is there a processed voice sample in it in the left channel? this > is something, that attracted my ear and wouldn't let go. :-) There is absolutely some chopped and processed vocal work, "ghosted" by a synthesizer playing the same melody to give it more body. I really like repurposing recordings like this. I do it with field recordings all the time (which flesh out the backgrounds of many of my tracks, `indigo` included, with little bits of white noise and crackling), and there's quite a history of this in hip-hop production, particularly sampling vinyl records and `flipping` them into a different beat. > OK, now I may actually have to listen to one of those thriller > radioplays to satisfy my Pablow reflex. :-) > Keep on the good work, as lofi as this and breakbeat as this or as > hifi and four-to-the-floor as the "all I need" remix.
