Reggie Watts does dubstep (acapella)

Post by cyrusfx » Tue May 03, 2011 7:25 pm

Reggie Watts is pretty famous already in the states for composing entire tracks in realtime with only his voice, a sampler and effects. He's patented his own original sound over the last few years and the results are usually pretty amazing.

Even though I have to apologize for the subpar audio quality (this was taken from the most recent Comedy Death Ray Radio podcast), I particularly like this beat. Its probably at about 150 instead of 140, but you'll know why its "dubstep" after the first minute.

Oh, he's also a comedian.

Yeah he's pretty awesome. Plus, Brian Eno's a fan, so... Apparently they've met a couple of times

This was a pleasant surprise... I love this guys stuff. It's all so strange, but there's definitely something refreshing about this one.
