Nova Carmina 3

Another set of remixes by me. All done in Bitwig ayyyylmao. In August 2022 I decided to take my music a bit more serious in a measureable manner by making 3 beats a day for the entire month. At the same time I had just moved over to Bitwig the month before so by proxy it also forced me to become familiar with the DAW. Some days I stayed up till 3:00 AM making music just to wake up at 10:00AM to do it again. Definitely alot of pretty boring ideas but also many ideas that initially started out as nothing too exciting but as the song developed further I fell in love with the sound (lesson in there.) As far as the Slay Edition cover it was really just a by product of rotting my brain with too much bimbo twitter. Anyways thanks for reading this synopsis :3

"Jersey Club Carti"
Playboi Carti - Half & Half
Started off as an experiment with granular synthesis (the stabs were made by moi.) Jersey Club has been living rent free in my mind for a few years so I through a lil ol thumpy wumpy kick drum behind it and the bed squeak sample for fun. I've been usuing Audiostrip for acapellas, and thought Carti's flow would go over well and it did. Fun song my frenz like it.

"My D Touch The Roof"
XXXTENTACION - Boost!
Once again I came up with a song based around a break. Once when I was DJing I put an XXXTentacion song over a hard Techno song and it was beautiful, so I did it again with a breakbeat and it went over amazingly.

"DMT - Guatauba"
Plan B - Guatauba
Reggaeton has been pretty popular as of late (gracias a El Conejo Malo) so I've been tryiny my hand at making that style of beats. A lot of the classic reggaeton sounds are really the same like 4-5 kicks/snares/percs but EQ'd and layered differently for each song. Listening and making pistas de reggaeton taught me alot about how to layer drum sounds. I found this song doing a deep dive on classic reggaeton and I immediately fell in love with it. Made the beat first and through the vocal over it for fun. Plan B is an amazing duo. Check em out.

"Tukuntazo Indie Dance"
Tokischa, Haraca Kiko, El Cherry Scom - Tukuntazo
Reggaeton brought me to modern Dembow and this song is just crazy. I sampled my own synth progession, chopped it up and through a break under it (as usual.)
