Flava D is one of the UK’s best club producers. Her meteoric rise began in 2012, releasing a string of belters on Butterz, contributing to the legendary Fabriclive mix series and collaborating with close friends DJ Q and Royal T as t q d, who make some of the finest garage and bassline being released today.
Having been responsible for FACT’s favorite episode of Against The Clock ever, we decided to visit her in her London studio to see how she makes a track with no time limit. Offering a rare insight into her production process, Flava D gives a step-by-step guide to everything from arranging drums to crafting a build-up.
Listen to the full track below and don’t miss Flava D’s headline show at London venue The Nest on Friday (March 3). UKG, the debut album from t q d, is released on March 17.

ao much better than against the clock, let them lil producers breathe ya feel me
I was just gonna say the same thing. this was great
i music I know, right?! Gotta let them flow
hopefully, the ten minute beat thing is load of shite, where the art in rushing?
i see the AGC segments as a way of showing a quick look at an artist's workflow, not about creating a whole tune in 10 mins
no fuck that, look at gawt dayum every ATC comments, fulla haters, now watch as this video gon be everyone playing nice in the comments
Honestly one of the best tutorials I've seen. I feel like it's common see a lot of people pulling intricate eq moves moves and complex DAW techniques but half the time their tunes don't sound nearly as dope as this. Just goes to show that using the right sounds to suit the vibe of your music is way more important than anything else.
Facts, facts
Making it perfect you do as the last step
'i had no one to teach me'
same girl. same. im so proud of u for doing it all by urself. i really look up to you.
We need more of these. Flava D is the one!
She is a perfect example to show that you don't need all this fancy gear or technical knowledge to make an amazing track! Love it
she has a bit of fairly fancy gear but i agree
@@archietaylor5964 agreed, she has play pro back speakers(over $1k) and midi key boards. I over here just have 120$ headphones and a keyboard kek. Still making tunes tho
the alesis keyboard (which i got) is less the 200 bux, the vodka on the shelves about 50 bux. thats all u need
RESPECT! Fast worker, knows the tools. More of these please!
She's so old school. I've produced since 1998 and I tell you now, she's old school. I love it
Love it, so much better than against the clock because you're getting a real explanation of intent, and the artists style. Thank you!
i didnt know her (youtube recommend me). i am really impressed by the track quality and fast workflow. this girl rocks
I like these better than against the clock. More of these would be dope
Loved watching this tutorial! Really interesting watch & Big ups to Flava D.
always wondered how these track were made, this was awesome.
midnight club flow lol i luv it !
it's just awesome. Seeing creating one piece of stylish music made me really excited. Thanks for making great music.
I'd love to see Lorn on either Against the Clock or How to make a track, I've seen a few interviews and the methods he uses for samples are insane.
AMEN
EtopiaCA Couldn't agree more ! Lorn is one of my fav producers of all time
Agreed , lorn has a unique style. Big Reaktor user, love his sound.
Hell yeah
What producers would you guys like to see on this series next?
Leon Vynehall!
mark broom
FACTmagazine Lone and Submerse pls
Axel Boman
opn would be legendary
She smashed it out the park
This was brilliant, looking forward to more like this hopefully.
queen of the game
Been waiting for this for soooooo long man
Her hotkey game is strong. It takes me twice as long to produce lol.
I want to do this can you tell me what software to download
@@MrTeeteeboy she's using Ableton
@@MrTeeteeboy i think the best thing to do is to download a bunch of demos and try it out before you buy a daw
@@MrTeeteeboy but i have to say thats not something i did
No one ever seems to truly take advantage of Ableton's drum rack. You can create an entire sample sub mix as well as independent parallel/send busses, just in the drum rack alone. As well as adding entire instrument rack to one single sample cell. I understand the benefits of using separate audio tracks but I'm amazed at how many people don't utilize this for complex percussion and sampling instruments.
Sauce_Aux I use to use audio files religiously but as of recently I have started making use of Ableton's Drum Rack!
Itchy Dez it's such a great customizable tool!
Indeed ^^' It's also nice to be able to switch samples so easily too :D
Itchy Dez oh man! Don't even get me goin on zone and key mapping !
drum rack lacks punch on the kick , that's why most producers who use a live workflow will layer drums in a session, great tutorial but I must point out, having too many sample packs will limit your workflow, having less you can develop your sound more and bring your ideas out
This was a great tutorial. Simple workflow that created a top notch mix, cheers!
I like this woman, she collects hats. They don't take as much room as shoes
What... are you talking about wearable hats or hi-hats? I'm so confused
hi-hats... its a double entendre.. kmon man keep up.
S W 5 Depends. Entendre literally just means ‘to understand’ in French so it doesn’t have to be an innuendo in a literal sense. Like in a lot of Hip Hop communities a double entendre just means a rap line with two meanings.
But yes, double entendres are generally innuendos
@@pc24367 kill joy
this is a great format...please do more of these!
really great walk through. thank you flava d
I really enjoyed this tutorial Flava D
Loved this, great to see different peoples workflow... Also loved her accent!!
Sickk! Proper opened my eyes to building drums.
Amazing workflow!!
Flava D is has mad skills & she's good at teaching as well. Last year she held an Ableton workshop in London that was super dope.
Sounds great!
Leon Vynehall Please!!!!!
