Videos: Dead Horse Beats – Campfire Sessions

Producer Dead Horse Beats takes a trip into nature with nothing but his MPD to, well, make beats. In the second session he’s using a sample of “Joe Lee’s Rock” by Boy Blue, Willie Jones & Joe Lee. His latest release, Vespers, is the product of an 8-month love affair with gospel music, all with a hip hop touch.

Personally I’m fascinated by survivalists like Les Stroud and reckless youngsters like Christopher McCandless. Modern-day adventurers who need nothing but nature. Producer Dead Horse Beats also enters the serene wild, but with a different objective: to make beats.

Here at The Find we love beat sessions in original settings. Take this session by production duo Fishing on the Thames River through London as another example. “Campfire Sessions” by Dead Horse Beats is something along those lines. He takes a trip into nature with nothing but his MPD to, well, make beats. Watch the first two installments below. In the second session he’s using a sample of Joe Lee’s Rock” by Boy Blue, Willie Jones & Joe Lee.

Just an ordinary guy always on the hunt for extraordinary music. Not just as the founder of The Find Magazine & Rucksack Records, but also as a freelance music journalist (bylines at Tracklib, Bandcamp, Wax Poetics, DIG Mag, among others) and—above all—out of love for all kinds of good music.
