REDSUN🐦‍🔥🩸 it’s fair to say this new #VU202 app got me inspired🙏🏽 #hiphop #instrumentalhiphop #beats #beatmaker

Now if only my 202 could do this😭 saw @marlowdigs using this app called #VU202 I’ve never seen and had to take a swing at it. SP202 on steroids 🔥🔥🔥

WHO THE DJS Honestly music is the cornerstone of any dance event. And it’s ESPECIALLY the focus of By Hand. Dancers don’t get to dance to unique sh*t in battles too often. Even the hot tracks are things we’ve heard before and if we go to enough we can damn near feel out a whole event from that info alone. We flip that on its head by making all the music for the battles FOR THE BATTLES. Then for the cyphers we bring in other producers and DJs who really are tryina bring a new experience. That where this line up comes in. For the battles: @pontiac_from_the_o is making enough beats to supply a village. The beats range in BPM, Meter, general weirdness— somethin anybody can find a new self in. Then the cyphers are being played byDJ (who also be producing) @koreanabduljabbar (slide 4) and Producers @beatsbysolace (slide 5) and the 404 juggernaut @ruffiankickbeats (slide 6) all of whom bringin sounds I promise youve never heard. All battles and producer sets will be played off the @rolandglobal SP404 family of machines. The sac, Mk 2 and who knows what else— an ode to the machine that changed PONTIACs life forever. We TELLIN YALL. It’s gone be like nothin you can imagine. But if you don’t believe us pull up to: BY HAND II Open style dance battle to live beats by @pontiac_from_the_o for $500. We are not playin that topgimmetoptop. Cyphers by @koreanabduljabar @ruffiankickbeats and @beatsbysolace solace we gone have dranks and food and the Parkin gone be good.

MINING GEMS💎 Was watching this Beatminerz doc before dusting off the MPC 1000 and 404SX and laying this down. Nothing more gratifying than the workflow between these machines. Shoutout the greats for the inspiration 🧠💭

End of 2024 moments📸 Might be time to pump the tires back up and get on the road again

Love being able to make my own repairs and upgrades on this machine. The 1000 reigns supreme! I will say I have much more respect for repair tutorial makers cause recording while working is not easy lol… 🫡 ya boy on the beat as well😶‍🌫️ #producer #hiphop #beatmaker #beats #mpc #mpc1000 #akai #hardware #analog #repair #tutorial #instrumentalhiphop #diy

Forgot to share some highlights from 404 Day presented by the good peoples at @beatcinema 🎥 Slide 1: Gil Scott Heron flip inspired by @kaelinellis Slide 2: dontget.confused // featuring som chopped up @devinjmorrison vocals Slide 3: FABC @flipabeatclub challenge using the homies sounds to make a beat on the MPC1000 Slide 4: one of my favorite recent flips. Resampled my own keys + acapella from @smino Amphetamine. Slide 5: tried my hand at some R&B grooves so I had to sprinkle some SZA over the top Which is your favorite?
