Will the re-release of the 808, 909 & 303 push the nuum fwd?

For what it's worth, I've made a thread about it last year

Another thing that is slightly overlooked is how, in the great communal sea of breaks and samples, a lot of them were treated with certain machines. Like the drum breaks wouldn't be what they were without for example certain mics but very much also stuff like going through emus.

Imo the emu is like the wah pedal or something. Where the wah pedal is the sound of Miles Davis having a go at rock, Claptons guitar sound that Jimi and everyone picked up on and so on..

if i had to give an answer i'd say what probably helped with the relative success of his addy groove stuff is that his interest in juke and adopting that style just happened to be timed pretty well with the rising interest in that sort of music outside of chicago

and its hard to make juke-ish sounding stuff without an 808 or a similar sounding drum machine. but he probably could have done the same with samples (as most actual chicago dudes probably do)

nah...

808 sample pack + MPC groove

Think so, yeah.

definitely imo

possibly not everything that's come out of grime later though?

[faultier]

Especially with emo you see a fairly straight line going from beginning to end, with each phase being reactionary in one way or another to the last.

wasted potential for a "from first to last"-inspired shitty pun here imo

[ezza]

why the fuck did they make this digital

stooooopid move

like ffs the whole reason ppl bang on about them is cus they're analog - ppl want that image too lol its hip

fully would of sold double if it was analog i bet

im holding out for the rythm wolf anyways
