0Here's something to watch while you're eating your gourmet lunch. Someone just emailed me this video (I swear I wasn't Googling myself) recorded and produced by Kurt Lorenz that incorporates loop #35, some chilled out synths, and some nice footage of the city and outskirts of Seattle. If you watch closely, you can spot cameo appearances by both this Eddie and that Eddie. ...

0You might remember Chaircrusher from the "name this odd meter" contest I had a while back. Well, he's taken some of his prize winnings (extremely valuable Gruss Loops) and incorporated them into the following track. Some of the track details from Chaircrusher: Juno60 -- chords (thru AudioDamage BigSeq) JP6 -- bassline Guitar Goldbaby Kick Hats from ??? Some of my own sampled percussion. One of the free Gruss brush loops from last year. As is my custom, I generally load your r...

0Today I bring you the latest track submitted from one of my readers. Recorded by Endai Hüdl in Berlin, Germany, the song is entitled "Ded Blokkz Mambo" and incorporates the Blakey-esque loop #79. Unfortunately, Endai didn't include much of a backstory to the track. He did, however, provide a brief description: "Rabbit fur costume for the brain. helps me concentrate..." After listening to the track, I couldn't have said it better myself. Ded Blokkz Mambo by endai hüdl ...

4Just when you think he had already pushed the limits of auxiliary woodwind instruments to the max, Bob Reynolds is back to blow your mind with some odd meter jazz flute. Recorded on top of the 15/8 loop I released last week, Bob proves that Ron Burgundy and the girl from band camp aren't the only ones who can get down with an edge-blown aerophone.

0I just received a link to a blog post from one of my subscribers, demonstrating the use of Record's Line 6 guitar and bass amp modeling on a loop from my Volume III pack: Below is an example of just that, a looped beat from the latest Gruss Pack thrown thru the Line 6 guitar amp modeling device, set to "Bassy Drive", with a 1968 4x12 greenback cabinet, and the middle turned up a touch. I could see The Beasties trade rhymes over this one: Give it a listen here. This is a great exampl...

0Last night I received an email from someone named Todd, with the subject, "The Money Beat". At first I wasn't sure what to think. Is someone with poor typing skills requesting a groove based on "Last Train to Clarksville"? Is someone holding my cats hostage again and demanding loops as ransom? Curious and slightly unnerved, I clicked into the email and read the following: Just wanted to let you know that I used the above named loop in a new track of mine, "Manifolds V," which you can list...

2No, not that type of bone, you perverts. I'm talking about trombones. I just received the following from one of my readers, Jeff: "hey, i’ve been checking out your site for a few weeks now pretty regularly. i’m a trombone player but i’ve been into drummers ever since i got a massive hard on for neil peart in high school. i really like the wide variety of styles you make loops in, and for free to boot! i’m in kind of a slump these days musically but i’m always looking fo...
