Dijon is a fairly niche artist so I know this video is unlikely to get good views but I made it anyway because his music is amazing. It was a lot of effort and took months to make so to give it a fighting chance. Please leave a like and a comment especially. It helps massively! Thank you so much everybody💪
I’ve been tryna produce a dijon track for the longest and you’re nudging the whole community in the right direction. ever since i discovered your channel, i’ve been spamming your videos so keep up the good work!
@@fsrenoIShim that’s unreal man thank you so much! And glad you enjoyed this video too, I really wasn’t sure how many people who subscribe would even know Dijon. It’s been a decent number so far! Also cheers for commenting my friend💪
Ah dude that’s great news, I’ve been a bit worried that he’s not known enough for this video to be worth the time I’ve put into it. But if longtime viewers of the channel like yourself are fans of Dijon then I feel like there’s potential haha thanks for the reassurance broski😤
@@drewgrit_ dude a bit of heads up, Dijon has a frequent collaborator named “Mkgee” ; and he has also put out some tracks recently. check him out. Hes like the guitar dude on that live album Dijon made
I’ve been listening to all of it bro, Mk gee is the BOY. That new Two star project has been blowing me away. All 4 of the tracks are incredible. Super inspiring stuff. Glad we are on the same page bruh😂💪
dijon and mk gee are great! i'd love some more production-related videos for those artists. abhi//dijon's collab project will always be my favorite though
I feel you dude, I was surprised that there wasn’t any production videos on him so I had to change that haha he’s genuinely taken over from frank ocean as my favourite artist. Thanks for the comment my friend🙏
Thank you so much my friend, that is very kind! If you have got instagram feel free to message me with some links to your music. I am always keen to hear
I know exactly what you mean haha that shallowness is the exact opposite of what I aim for with these videos so feedback like this is fantastic to hear! Thanks very much my friend🙏
No problem at all! There really isn’t a lot online talking about Dijon so I had to try get the ball rolling haha glad you enjoyed, thanks for the comment my friend💪
Dijon is one of those artists that have been so cool to see grow and experiment with their music. I still think 2014 by Abhi/Dijon is one of the best alternative RnB albums ever and Dijon really just continue to knock it out of the park as a solo artist. Him helping Mk.Gee evolve his sound is also going to be really interesting to see going forward.
That’s a completely fair opinion man, I hear you on that for sure. The story arc of Dijon is always evolving and it’s always interesting. The mk.gee scenario is so sick too, I actually listened to his music first and it’s a rare scenario of they both have equally benefitted from working with each other. I feel like they have changed each others musical trajectory. It’s beautiful to watch! Thanks for the comment my friend💪
Never clicked so fast on a video before, I love Dijon! His music has inspired me a lot, so this is a great help! Thank you for the amazing video, your channel is to me one of the most helpful resources as I'm trying to learn producing :)
Hahaha love that thank you! He’s inspired me a lot too and tbh has taken over from frank ocean as my favourite artist. His music is incredible and his older stuff might even be his best stuff. Constant inspiration! Thanks for the comment my friend✌️
That’s very true, he has the perfect balance of amazing production and amazing songwriting skills. Easily one of the best in the world right now! Thanks for the comment my friend💪
I’m so glad I found your channel I have an AKG C414 XLS and I’m working on a project. It bothered me that my vocal presence sounds so different from many popular songs but you just changed my perspective and when listening back to my tracks, it can be a staple of my sound and another thing that makes my sound unique. Thanks for making this video and reminding me music doesn’t necessarily have rules
Ah dude I love this comment so much! I am so happy to help you change perspective, I’m sure you’re going to make some great music now that you’re embracing that idea. Dijon really set that in motion for me so really we both need to thank him haha Good luck with the music and feel free to send me the project when it’s done, would love to hear💪 Also no problem about the plugins and free alternatives, I like to make sure the things I talk about are as accessible as possible. Thanks for the comment my friend💪
Literally agree with everything you said, we are definitely on the same wavelength haha hes the most inspiring artist in world for me rn. Also im pleased you enjoyed the video, much appreciated my friend✌️
This series is ridiculously well done and informative. I’d love to see one on Bobbing! Idk how/when/why etc any of those sounds get made but it’s beautiful controlled chaos. This channel is an absolute gem, keep it up!
Thank you very much dude! I’ve been trying so hard with this “how to artist” series so that means a lot! And I’m actually not familiar with Bobbing, I’m listening to “A Night Alone” now. Cheers for the recommendation my friend💪
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it! I only know khruangbin out of that list, they are so sick. I’ll note the rest down and investigate, thanks for the recommendation my friend💪
No problem at all, this is exactly why I did it! Such an amazing artist deserves to have people talking about his music from a music production standpoint. Not just talking about his great song writing. Glad you enjoyed it my friend✌️
Honestly me too, I was surprised there wasn’t already breakdowns of him. I think he will slowly became one the biggest artists in the world so more videos from other channels will probably come soon enough! Thanks for the comment my friend✌️
Hahaha thank you so much💪 even though I can’t play instruments I just had to have a go at breaking down his music. There’s no tutorials on TH-cam so I felt like it was my job to change that! Glad you enjoyed it my friend🙏
yo yoooooo checking out your dijon covers as I type this, really nicely done dude! And glad you enjoyed, hes my fave artist these days too, frank ocean has been demoted haha
Can you do a video like this on UK artists such as Jim Legxcy or Dave's production? I think this breakdown is amazing, and I would love to hear your advice/takes on the UK sound!
Its so funny youve said this, Jims DJ tune was one of the first tracks I listened to this morning haha I was listening to some Dexter in the newagents when Jim came on autoplay. Ill add to this to my list of video ideas and if i can replicate his style ill put a video out. Thanks for the recommendation my friend✌️
@@drewgrit_ Yeah seriously! His style is so unique but at the same time draws on so many different areas, so the hard part for me is getting it all to blend together
this was an amazing video man. i’ve loved dijon for a couple years now, and have come to understand how to get the sound esc, but have never really gotten to break down what he does. i’ve just experiemented through a lot of productions. emotions in his voice is a big thing. usually less tuned than what others might. also overdubs which are never really quite on point. i’ve havent read the reverb interview, so thank you for bringing that up! will definetly check it out
Thanks very much dude, I’m glad you enjoyed it! And I definitely feel you man, there’s so much to learn from listening to his music and you’re totally right. Not tuned vocal, very emotional etc. Such a big part of it! And yea definitely check out that Reverb interview, he has a bunch of different articles and even a podcast episode with Fader. I watched and read everything but somehow 90% of the good info came from this one Reverb interview, it’s crazy haha Thanks for the comment my friend✌️
D’Angelo is the GOAT man. That’s a great idea, I hadn’t thought of that tbh. I’ll add it to my list of video ideas. If I think I could do him justice I’ll give it a go! Thanks for the recommendation my friend💪
Me and you are in the same boat then, I’ve had him on repeat soooo much haha the music is just too good! And thank you so much, I really tired my best with the insight on this video. Much appreciated my friend🙏
Thanks so much dude, the amount of effort it took to make this was crazy but I’m feeling like it worth it because of great comments like this haha much appreciated my friend💪
Hey thank you so much, that’s incredibly kind to say! And I don’t think anyone was expecting Dijon tbh haha but he’s had such an impact me since discovering him, so I had to do it. Plus there was no breakdowns of his music so I felt like it was my duty to change that😂 glad you enjoyed it my friend!
@@drewgrit_ I know what you mean. Last year the youtube algo blessed me with big mike's and completely changed how I look at songwriting. Keep the uploads coming, brother! 💪
def don't mind discovering new music from vids like this so don't shy away from whatever niche youve been into. gonna go listen to his whole discography
Respect dude thanks a lot for that, that’s very reassuring. I’ve really thought that most people won’t bother watching unless they know the artist so this makes me feel a lot better haha I owe you one my friend✌️
Thank you so much and same here, he blew me away the first time a friend recommended him to me. Been listening non stop ever since. Glad you enjoyed the video and more videos you’ll hopefully enjoy coming soon my friend💪
No problem at all dude, seems like a lot of people have been hoping for a video like this to appear on youtube at some point. Feeling blessed to be the person to deliver the first! Glad you enjoyed it my friend💪
Yea bro it’s pretty crazy, he lets the euro rack run for a bit and then picks a section of audio that sounds the best and loops it up as the starting point. Really cool idea
No problem at all, im just happy people are enjoying it! And ah i feel you on that one, the amount of inspiration dijon has gave me is ridiculous haha thanks for the comment my friend✌️
It’s cool to see this in my recommendations. I’m an amateur producer and I’ve bigged up the tune Talk Down to my mates and it never seemed to gain any traction 😂 I wish that tune was longer…
Hahaha love that dude, that’s happened to me many times showing people music. Even with the Absolutely album funny enough😂 thought my friend didn’t care much then heard him listening to it 8 months later haha that’s just the way it goes sometimes, you win in the end lol thanks for the comment my friend✌️
Thanks very much and i appreciate you leaving a comment! It helps push the video out to more people and makes all the effort worth it. I owe you one my friend💪
Thanks very much diane, this artist was recommended to me by a good friend so it’s nice to be able to pass the recommendation on! Glad you enjoyed the breakdown💪
Hey Drew!! Amazing breakdowns, I really loved and appreciate them. Would be fantastic if you can make a full remake of the Dress for us. I'm pretty sure everybody would love it.
I actually was going to include a whole remake of The Dress but when I was doing so I realised how little there actually is going on. The song is essentially a couple great elements working together perfectly. But yea maybe you’re right, might explore it as a TH-cam short or something! Thanks for the comment my friend💪
Haha it’s became my signature look, I’m turning into a cartoon character who has one outfit😂 hat is lit tho so it’s worth it. Shoutout Arizona all day😤😤
Haha thank you so much, thats very kind my friend! Only issue is videos like this take soooo much research it takes me a while to make them. I am hoping to get videos out more regularly tho✌️
That’s awesome dude, inspiring someone to feel like producing again is the highest honour so thank you haha And i appreciate that about the pack, it will always be there so you can always come back to it at another time my friend💪
Thanks very much! Really glad that people are enjoying it and hopefully dijon drops another album soon so that maybe I can make a part 2👀 haha thanks for the comment my friend✌️
Tbh i agree bro, mk.gee would be a great one, I love his new Two Star songs he released recently. Ive had those songs on repeat haha im definitely going to investigate a video about him. Hopefully i can recreate his style, im just not convinced i can yet😂
Mk.gee doesn't use a baritone guitar...a baritone guitar has a extended range scale neck...Mk.gee uses a standard Fender Jaguar setup to baritone - normal guitar+higher string gauge strings (flatwounds)+setup for Bb. When you talk about a baritone guitar you are talking about a different kind of guitar...is not a critic just to clear things up (and for people don´t go and buy baritones, they can do it with what they have already 😉). Great breakdown of Dijon producing style 👌✌
I know who Quedeca is ofcourse but ive never really listened to his stuff tbh. Ill have an investigation and if i think i can replicate the music ill give the video a go💪 thanks for the recommendation my friend!
Hether is awesome, thats a great idea! Ill add that to my list of video ideas and if i manage to replicate his style accurately ill make the video, thanks for the recommendation my friend💪
Excellent video! Really insightful. One thing though, what’s a good live drums plugin that sounds realistic? Free and/or for pay. I noticed that a lot in Dijon’s music and wanna get that same bounce.
Thanks dude really glad you enjoyed it! Creating realistic live drums in a DAW can be tough. I havent used it myself but Addictive Drums by XLN audio seems pretty good. Theres different expansion packs to fit your needs. Thats probably the best option. Either that or just commit to sample packs, manipulate real drum loops etc. Hope that helps my friend✌️
you probably don’t do requests but even if you wouldn’t do a video on them, i highly recommended you listen to pearl and the oysters if you don’t already ! their music is soooo good
To be totally honest haven’t even heard of them! I’m listening now and it’s a great vibe, this is right up my street. Much appreciated for the recommendation, I’ll be investigating a bit more and who knows, maybe a video eventually haha💪
Couldn’t agree more bro. And mk.gee definitely deserves a shoutout too, his music has always been great but the recent stuff with this Two Star project is phenomenal🙏
@@drewgrit_ agreed man. That and his museum of contradiction album are like my study book for texture atm. That two star shit has been on repeat for weeks for me 😭
Thank you dude, found out today on my Spotify wrapped that Dijon was my number 1 artist lol probably due to listening to his stuff on repeat for this video haha worth it!
Mk.gee is absolutely amazing too, I’ve been listening to those new Two Star tracks he’s released a LOT haha there’s definitely potential for a video about him. I just need to listen closer and see if there’s any good techniques I could pick out and dissect. I’ll add it to my list of video idea, thanks for the comment my friend✌️
I did think about including some abhi // Dijon stuff in this video actually! But because they aren’t working together anyone I didnt think there would be much interest in it from viewers. I’ll give it a think tho, thanks for the comment my friend💪
Dijon is a fairly niche artist so I know this video is unlikely to get good views but I made it anyway because his music is amazing.

You are extremely underrated my friend. This is amazing.
The one and only Ed Talenti! Thank you so much man, this means a lot coming from someone like yourself. Too kind bro🙏
Bro, I love Dijon so much. Kind of a surprise to see a video about his style, but a very nice surprise. Thanks man!
I feel you dude, I was surprised that there wasn’t any production videos on him so I had to change that haha he’s genuinely taken over from frank ocean as my favourite artist. Thanks for the comment my friend🙏
of all the people doing how-to's on yt, you're the one I'd love to work with the most. Such great practical insight!
Thank you so much my friend, that is very kind! If you have got instagram feel free to message me with some links to your music. I am always keen to hear
Usually these types of videos are pretty shallow but this went into so much detail about things I'd never even noticed. Thank you so much
I know exactly what you mean haha that shallowness is the exact opposite of what I aim for with these videos so feedback like this is fantastic to hear! Thanks very much my friend🙏

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it! I only know khruangbin out of that list, they are so sick. I’ll note the rest down and investigate, thanks for the recommendation my friend💪
ive wondered for SO LONG why a video like this doesnt exist
Me too haha that’s exactly why I had to do it. It was needed!
This whole video is terribly accurate. 10/10 video ❤
Thank you so much! That’s awesome to hear you enjoyed it that much, more coming soon my friend💪
@@drewgrit_ 😁😁😁
Can not thank you enough for making this , have looked many times for a breakdown of Dijon's sound and found very little !
No problem at all, this is exactly why I did it! Such an amazing artist deserves to have people talking about his music from a music production standpoint. Not just talking about his great song writing. Glad you enjoyed it my friend✌️
What a great video to come across as my love for Dijon unfolds. Thank you
Thanks very much my friend, my love for Dijon is also growing every day haha more artist breakdowns youll hopefully enjoy coming soon!
Bruh this video slaps, so many creative gems! Thank you for putting this together!!
Hey no problem at all Jonathan! I glad you enjoyed it and more artist breakdowns youll hopefully enjoy coming very soon my friend💪
found out dijon only recently, love his music and his sound, thx
Love that! I would pay good money to wipe my memory of Dijon and rediscover his music again with fresh ears haha glad enjoyed the video my friend🙏
yup Ireland and yup Dijon, have always been curious about his sound as it's so fresh! appreciate u guy
Ireland gang all day! Dijon gang too haha and no problem at all, glad you enjoyed it my friend✌️
Finally someone’s breaking down some Dijon 🙏
It was long overdue, he’s the best! Hopefully more channels start giving their interpretation of his production too💪 thanks for the comment my friend!
dijon is quite literally a hidden gem. Can't wait for him to blow up so the world can appreciate greatness
I feel you my friend! His presence is growing every day, I think it’s only a matter of time💪
ive been waiting for someone to this for months i love his music
Honestly me too, I was surprised there wasn’t already breakdowns of him. I think he will slowly became one the biggest artists in the world so more videos from other channels will probably come soon enough! Thanks for the comment my friend✌️
Would've NEVER expected to see a Dijon tutorial damn you really are the goat 🔥🔥
Hahaha thank you so much💪 even though I can’t play instruments I just had to have a go at breaking down his music. There’s no tutorials on TH-cam so I felt like it was my job to change that! Glad you enjoyed it my friend🙏
I love this breakdown , definitely noticed a lot of these in his sound. Thanks for this man ! Dijon's my fave and he inspires my own sound
yo yoooooo checking out your dijon covers as I type this, really nicely done dude! And glad you enjoyed, hes my fave artist these days too, frank ocean has been demoted haha
never actually listened to Dijon, but this is sick
Cheers broski, give him a proper listen and I’m sure you’ll be into him💪

That’s an amazing compliment, I feel honoured haha thank you so much my friend!
Top video and helpful resource's as usual. Great job Drew!
Thanks broski, hopefully this gets you into Dijon now😂
this mans breakdown is next level🔥 thanks for helping us understand such a killer artist’s music more!
Thanks so much dude, the amount of effort it took to make this was crazy but I’m feeling like it worth it because of great comments like this haha much appreciated my friend💪
Drew, every video you've uploaded this year has hit the mark.
I love Dijon. Was not expecting this breakdown. Thanks.
Hey thank you so much, that’s incredibly kind to say! And I don’t think anyone was expecting Dijon tbh haha but he’s had such an impact me since discovering him, so I had to do it. Plus there was no breakdowns of his music so I felt like it was my duty to change that😂 glad you enjoyed it my friend!

def don't mind discovering new music from vids like this so don't shy away from whatever niche youve been into. gonna go listen to his whole discography

I feel you 100% man haha blew my mind too, i feel like its one of those music moments we will never forget!
Very well spoken intuitive video. Thank you 🙏
Thank you very much my friend, that’s a very nice compliment, I really appreciate that honestly🙏
This rules, Drew. Thank you for the great video
Thanks very much dude! Was tough to make so I’m glad you enjoyed, makes it all worth it haha💪
Amazing video! Just discovered Dijon and was blew away by the sound choices and production. Love your style - subbed.
Thank you so much and same here, he blew me away the first time a friend recommended him to me. Been listening non stop ever since. Glad you enjoyed the video and more videos you’ll hopefully enjoy coming soon my friend💪
I love it! Been looking for something like this for a while. Thank you.
No problem at all dude, seems like a lot of people have been hoping for a video like this to appear on youtube at some point. Feeling blessed to be the person to deliver the first! Glad you enjoyed it my friend💪
First dijon breakdown video ive come across. Thank you so much for making this.
That’s another reason I made it, I couldn’t let my favourite artist be completely unrepresented haha glad you enjoyed it my friend💪
thanks for this! one of the most complete tutorials I’ve seen
Thank you so much! That’s one of the best compliments I could ask for haha glad you like it my friend✌️
awesome video Drew! I did not realized he started tracks using the Euro Rack.
Yea bro it’s pretty crazy, he lets the euro rack run for a bit and then picks a section of audio that sounds the best and loops it up as the starting point. Really cool idea
Amazing vid bro absolutely love it!!
Thanks broski that means a lot, this one was TOUGH haha I’ll be chilling out a bit for the next couple videos I think😂
loner the goat
Thank you so much for this video, been so inspired by him recently
No problem at all, im just happy people are enjoying it! And ah i feel you on that one, the amount of inspiration dijon has gave me is ridiculous haha thanks for the comment my friend✌️
super great video, some really helpful tips

Haha thanks dude, bangers is what I aim for so glad you think it meets the criteria. Much appreciated my friend💪
Its sad that he doesnt do music in the old days ... I miss the abhi//dijon songs
Those old vibes are cool too but I guess everyone has to grown and evolve with time, thanks for the comment my friend✌️
As always Drew you introduce me to new and exciting artist and ideals. Love your breakdowns..
Thanks very much diane, this artist was recommended to me by a good friend so it’s nice to be able to pass the recommendation on! Glad you enjoyed the breakdown💪
Thank u for this breakdown!! Really interesting and inspiring!
No problem at all my friend, interesting and inspiring is the best feedback I can ask for haha more videos coming soon💪
Nice ! love Dijon so much.
Me and you both, honestly can’t wait to see what he does next! The most inspiring music I’ve heard in a long time
Hey Drew!! Amazing breakdowns, I really loved and appreciate them. Would be fantastic if you can make a full remake of the Dress for us. I'm pretty sure everybody would love it.

Couldn’t agree more my friend, love the guys music more than anyone else for a couple years now. That’s why I had to do the breakdown💪
You are great man, keep going just inspired me to finish this album im working on
Thank you very much dude and that’s sick! Definitely link me when you finish it, would be great to hear my friend💪

Haha it’s became my signature look, I’m turning into a cartoon character who has one outfit😂 hat is lit tho so it’s worth it. Shoutout Arizona all day😤😤
I love your channel so much
I want videos everyday 😭❤️
Haha thank you so much, thats very kind my friend! Only issue is videos like this take soooo much research it takes me a while to make them. I am hoping to get videos out more regularly tho✌️
Dijon is the best, this is a cool video. Thank youu
Agreed Dijon is the best haha and glad you enjoyed the video my friend! Hopefully you’ll enjoy the other videos coming soon✌️
Quality video King
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for commenting to help push the video, you’re equally king rn haha💪
If the groove is strong, you can’t go wrong.
Now that’s a saying to LIVE BY haha love that man, thanks for adding that to the conversation!
Thank you for your videos!
Check out Understanding by King Pari. I think you’ll dig it
@@classgrooves617 no problem at all dude, glad you enjoyed💪
@@classgrooves617 and sick I’ll add it to my list of things to check out, looking forward to it
Bless your heart for this video
Hahaha love this, “bless your heart” sounds like a compliment from my grandmother😂😂 thanks very much my friend!
Great tips my dude
Thanks very much man! More tips for another artist coming soon, hopefully you’re a fan on that person too💪
Loved this! So helpful!
Good to hear dude! This one was a lot of effort but great to see that effort paying off. Thanks for the comment my friend✌️
Awesome job man
Thanks very much Tyler, was a nightmare to make but I’m happy with how it turned out haha
Thanks for the video, it makes me want to produce music again. I wish i had money to buy your samplepack lol
That’s awesome dude, inspiring someone to feel like producing again is the highest honour so thank you haha
And i appreciate that about the pack, it will always be there so you can always come back to it at another time my friend💪
Amazing breakdown 👏🏼
Thanks very much! Really glad that people are enjoying it and hopefully dijon drops another album soon so that maybe I can make a part 2👀 haha thanks for the comment my friend✌️
Thank you so much for making this.
No problem at all man, I’m glad you benefited from it🙏
Would love to see a MK.Gee video next if you had the time! Not enough content on his style.@@drewgrit_
Tbh i agree bro, mk.gee would be a great one, I love his new Two Star songs he released recently. Ive had those songs on repeat haha im definitely going to investigate a video about him. Hopefully i can recreate his style, im just not convinced i can yet😂
Nice dude! Appreciate this
Hey man thanks very much, more videos coming soon. Hopefully you’ll enjoy them too✌️
amazing stuff vro
Thank you very much bro, im glad you enjoyed it. Long live dijon haha
Mk.gee doesn't use a baritone guitar...a baritone guitar has a extended range scale neck...Mk.gee uses a standard Fender Jaguar setup to baritone - normal guitar+higher string gauge strings (flatwounds)+setup for Bb. When you talk about a baritone guitar you are talking about a different kind of guitar...is not a critic just to clear things up (and for people don´t go and buy baritones, they can do it with what they have already 😉). Great breakdown of Dijon producing style 👌✌
@@aavel1964 great info my friend, thanks for adding that to the conversation💪
great rundown!
Thank you very much my friend! Toughest breakdown I’ve made yet but it was worth it💪
it’d be cool to see you do a wee breakdown of some of quadecas production style post IDMTHY. he’s a super interesting and unique producer.
I know who Quedeca is ofcourse but ive never really listened to his stuff tbh. Ill have an investigation and if i think i can replicate the music ill give the video a go💪 thanks for the recommendation my friend!
This was very well done! Thank you. There’s another artist - Hether, that is quite niche too but you may like his sound and want to break it down
Hether is awesome, thats a great idea! Ill add that to my list of video ideas and if i manage to replicate his style accurately ill make the video, thanks for the recommendation my friend💪
i love him so much
Me too again haha shoutout Dijon and thanks for the comments my friend💪
Thank you so much for the vid 🙏
Also finally someone using Ableton !!
No problem my friend, glad you enjoyed! And ableton gang all day💪💪💪
great video man
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it my friend, it awesome seeing some many other people who connect with dijons music💪
Dijon is incredible
You know it broski, lad is built different haha
i found out about dijon from no rome! VERY DOPE
Absolutely LOVE that song, Dijon glides on that beat. Super underrated song😤
Excellent video! Really insightful. One thing though, what’s a good live drums plugin that sounds realistic? Free and/or for pay. I noticed that a lot in Dijon’s music and wanna get that same bounce.
Thanks dude really glad you enjoyed it! Creating realistic live drums in a DAW can be tough. I havent used it myself but Addictive Drums by XLN audio seems pretty good. Theres different expansion packs to fit your needs. Thats probably the best option. Either that or just commit to sample packs, manipulate real drum loops etc. Hope that helps my friend✌️
you probably don’t do requests but even if you wouldn’t do a video on them, i highly recommended you listen to pearl and the oysters if you don’t already ! their music is soooo good
To be totally honest haven’t even heard of them! I’m listening now and it’s a great vibe, this is right up my street. Much appreciated for the recommendation, I’ll be investigating a bit more and who knows, maybe a video eventually haha💪
Same here man. His music is production heroine. Same for Mk.Gee
Couldn’t agree more bro. And mk.gee definitely deserves a shoutout too, his music has always been great but the recent stuff with this Two Star project is phenomenal🙏
@@drewgrit_ agreed man. That and his museum of contradiction album are like my study book for texture atm. That two star shit has been on repeat for weeks for me 😭
hell yea man, that museum record is mental. His synth sounds are otherworldly! Great references for texture too, youre right💪
Great video !!
Thank you dude, found out today on my Spotify wrapped that Dijon was my number 1 artist lol probably due to listening to his stuff on repeat for this video haha worth it!
super helpful thank you
No prob dude, glad you found it useful. More videos you’ll hopefully enjoy coming soon✌️
Very interesting! Thanks :)
Thanks very much Nathan, although Dijon is an interesting artist so I feel like its interesting by default😂 either way glad you enjoyed my friend✌️
would love a video breaking down mk.gee's production, especially from 2019 onwards
Mk.gee is absolutely amazing too, I’ve been listening to those new Two Star tracks he’s released a LOT haha there’s definitely potential for a video about him. I just need to listen closer and see if there’s any good techniques I could pick out and dissect. I’ll add it to my list of video idea, thanks for the comment my friend✌️
up to the mark
Thanks very much dude, I tried my best so means a lot💪
HELL YES! more "niche" shit! do what you love!
Hell yes indeed broski haha niche is king💪 I definitely won’t be afraid to do more niche stuff, the people have seemed to enjoy it!
Great vid!
Thanks very much dude! This dijon video was so much effort but comments like this make it all worth it. Much appreciated my friend💪
YES! bless you drew🫡
Hahaha thanks very much my friend, bless you too for watching and commenting😂🙏
Dijon makes me weep
Me and you both my friend haha one of the best artists in the world right now, no doubt about it💪
You gotta do a vid on Abhi as well now (from Abhi // Dijon)!
I did think about including some abhi // Dijon stuff in this video actually! But because they aren’t working together anyone I didnt think there would be much interest in it from viewers. I’ll give it a think tho, thanks for the comment my friend💪
