Video: Trebles & Blues – Eighth Notes: The Footnotes (Episode 2)

Trebles & Blues is back at it again with another episode of Eighth Notes: The Footnotes, a series that shows how he made some of the beats that appeared in his mix Eighth Notes, presented by The Find Mag and Soul Dojo.

Working with Reason and an MPD 32, Trebles chops up smooth samples, adds percussion, basslines, and the like to craft grooved up head nodding boom bap instrumentals. This is definitely inspiration for producers, sample junkies, and instrumental heads right here.
