All these Damu clips are gold.I can't even count how many times I've watched all of them over the years.Perfect remedy for writers block.There has been many times I have had to been reminded of the essence.
Thats true man, also keep in mind that his collection of vinyls maybe is worth a couple of thousands. it takes alot of money, patience and time to own a basement looking like that, something that people tend to forget.
DAMU! The man. i love this guy, what a humble, awesome dude who just makes the sweetest music.. i could listen to him talk about hip hop and do his thing all day.
this guy is such an inspiration... After I've been watching a video with him I go back to my akai and become so much more productive. Thank you for being so creative and real at the same time...
Thank You for sharing your process!,....we have to give them praise whn we see their workflow!....Im frm the Pete Rock,Marley,Prince Paul era, & these were GUARDED SECRETS!
I agree! I've been watching these dope damu stuff for ages and this video just shows that he is one of the dopest producers at the moment! "Its vintage with a new twist on it" 7:02
That'z whutz up DaMu, good luck getting thru the fuckin politics of those that don't know shit about the music or the whole essence of the culture for that matter. Support the underground people and the independent artist. That means making real purchases of the artist and their music.
WORD true school!!! I met him 2wice. once in madison square park and the second time at fat beats. Hes a good humble person and definitely glad i got to meet him. Hope he comes out to NYC again ad im sure he will!!!
I'd love to see a tutorial on using the lowpass filter to get to the drums. I'd also love to know how you work with a sample that you have just sped up by just spinning the record real fast... Amazing. Where's part 2?
@cheddab0b that's part of it, because it will reduce the sample rate. also, the old digital samplers had lower bitrates. then, sampling from vinyl, and pushing your volume levels well past the distortion point. all of those things contribute to the gritty sound. all things that can be emulated on computers, too, but the original techniques just sound like that naturally.
Well yeah Chedda slowing down the sample COUPLED with the way you filter the sample(s) within the options the MPC provides will give you a grittier sound.
*And for the few who did hit thumbs down(for reasons unknown). . you don't know SHIT ABOUT HIP HOP MUSIC*. . . **end of rant** Very good job spitting musical knowledge Damu. .
Search for Damu The Fudgemunk - 3 Rare Beats. You can hear the entire intro beat there but it's super low quality because it was record live, probably on someone's phone or something.

So basic and straightforward, but still dope. 💪🏾
"Perfect remedy for writers block"
Makes me feel young again. Damu is the avatar of my mid life crisis, and Im enjoying every minute of it.
This man should be held in high regard just like Pete Rock and J Dilla. Not many people know this man and he's like another Dilla.
I still appreciate this video over 10 years later. Still at it.
Thats true man, also keep in mind that his collection of vinyls maybe is worth a couple of thousands. it takes alot of money, patience and time to own a basement looking like that, something that people tend to forget.
"it's very simple - you sit down, and make a beat"
man I love Damu so much
technically the truth haha
DAMU! The man. i love this guy, what a humble, awesome dude who just makes the sweetest music.. i could listen to him talk about hip hop and do his thing all day.

Fantastic Damu has been my favorite DJ since the first time I heard him.
Old school with it, & his workplace screams passion. glad I found this video again though; haven't seen it in ages.

cool video
Much Respect
yay!
@cutdafukup the floppy disks are because that's the format the MPC-2000 uses. they didn't have zip drives back then.
DJ Premier is a surprisingly nice and down-to-earth cat. Met the brotha at Fat Beats in NY twice. Peace.
@cheddab0b that's part of it, because it will reduce the sample rate. also, the old digital samplers had lower bitrates. then, sampling from vinyl, and pushing your volume levels well past the distortion point. all of those things contribute to the gritty sound. all things that can be emulated on computers, too, but the original techniques just sound like that naturally.
GEnius.

next to pete rock in my books, much love homie
hit me up when you got time
Blessings
Mabus
keep diggin ! yes yes yall ! never off

Well yeah Chedda slowing down the sample COUPLED with the way you filter the sample(s) within the options the MPC provides will give you a grittier sound.
dope. wheres that from?
this dude so ill man respect to Damu The Fudgemunk
he probably uses it when hes On The Go, but its hard to tell, cause he also take that MPC2000 out on the streets to..
TEACH ME!!!! you are TRUUUUUU!!!!! HIP HOP.
SP 303 was his first sampler
That turntable does a 78 speed? Thats gotta sound so gritty when pitched down
there is hope for hip hop yet
What's the first beat name?
3:02 thats why i buy roland sp 404, no need to wait to get home!
Is that an equalizing module to the right of his MPC in the beginning of the video?
he is cool !
Where is segment 2?!
23 in 2008
yay
*And for the few who did hit thumbs down(for reasons unknown). . you don't know SHIT ABOUT HIP HOP MUSIC*. . .
**end of rant**
Very good job spitting musical knowledge Damu. .

@CMVMic Thanks a lot man i read up on that hopefully it does come out I really digg the beat
dude got beats for years

i need one aswell cuz i have the 8 outs on my mpc but i have no idea what mixer i should buy
YO ANYBODY THE FIRST BEAT AT THE START WHERE'S IT FROM AND WHATS IT CALLED???
I will personally find money and pay the cat who can find this 1st beat. No punchline or joke
@deelib96 you put a low pass filter on it..so you can just hear the bass of the sample..
haha i agree. i have one and wanna sell it. damu has one but it just sits on the shelf
Damn man he didn't even have max RAM for his MP back then
he still doesn’t he likes the limitations
yo mad style
yo can i ask what is the beat playing at 1:00
Search for Damu The Fudgemunk - 3 Rare Beats. You can hear the entire intro beat there but it's super low quality because it was record live, probably on someone's phone or something.
4:05 mpc 500 buried in the crates!
Not old school--TRUE SCHOOL! Peace.
