S/o 2 Dibia$e for being gracious enough to let me film him doing a Rhythm Roulette and S/O 2 Ras G It was great performing on the same stage at 808 Fest (2018) in Atlanta along with my Controllerise Family. S/O 2 Flylo for being a pioneer in this thing as well as a great inspiration. Thankful for this movement and so happy for the continued international growth of the beat culture where beatmakers/producers can get well deserved recognition Happy #404DAY
What's eerie and crazy about the end of the video is that they looped Ras G's voice so as to point to the fact that he will go on forever...shortly after this dropped, he passed. RIP Ras G
Like how Dilla is your producer’s favorite producer, these Roland machines embodies just that. Especially when many of them swear by their MPC’s and the Roland is the secret sauce. Hell even Dilla used a 303.
@@TheWutangclan1995 Man, I swear by my MPC but still... the SP's have a diferent soul. It's like you ask me with leg I like the most, I need both to walk properly.
Hearing flyo for the first time back in the day was a great experience. Opened up a new world of music for me. Great video. Would've been dope to see Samiyam on this too
We had a long list of people we would have loved to include, including Samiyam, but the story and community is just too big for a short video. Maybe one day...
A dude in my local record shop recommended FlyLo's Los Angeles to me when he saw me buying Madlib's King of the Wig flip.I popped the CD in, heard 40 seconds and was like " What the hell is this?" then the beat dropped on Breathe Something/Stellar Star and I have been hooked since.
Since I was 15 these guys have been the reason I love beats. They're the reason I'm who I am. Knowing a SP 404 is what helped them get to where they're at I've been trying to invest in one for a year now (I'm just super broke) because I want to be just like these guys. I would never enjoy or appreciate music the way I do if it wasn't for them
THE GODS !!! Flying Lotus is personally in my top 3 MUSIC ARTISTS OF ALL TIME IN THIS UNIVERSE!!! Much Love to this channel, those in the video, and everyone reading this & who is also watching this like me. I Love all of you and hope to have the pleasure of working and socializing with people like you guys soon. You are my people !!

@RolandChannel Great tribute! Love the 4:04 duration 😉Hello to all SP404 lovers! Back in april 2014, we had the chance to have Ras G for a party in our club/radio here in Paris. Lovely memories.
Instead of having to resample and bake the 2nd FX into a sample to use more than 1 FX, a FX chain type option where a machine has 2 different banks for the FX setting, switchable so as to be able to, [pretty fluidly, be able to control the parameters 2 different FX on one sample (real time) without having to completely switch FX would be an awesome addition to the 555’s FX memory option.
Thanks for the mini video Roland, the SP series helped propel a revolution in like-minded beat-heads and cement the idea that guys like these could make music in their bedrooms that could spread love across continents.
These three guys are so special... around this era I caught Flylo a number of times in NYC and Boston and had the chance to meet him too! Love that Alice Coltrane pin he's wearing at 3:55. Dibiase and Ras G are straight-up SP magicians..
When SP404 was released i was working for Roland from Brazil, and the first time that i saw 404 was on the pic of anime Tokyo Tribe 2, Roland and Santa Inuoe became partner to promote SP404 model when was released in Japan, bytheway released in five diferent colours, black, red, blue, yelow and the classic chrome ! I Luv so much this sampler and this change my life, all my idols use that and i'm so lucky to be living in this era of lofi beats !
I'm glad that there is finally a platform for beat creators I've been making beats for a long time and I'm grateful that we can finally share our visions
fam that's what I'm saying!!! The beat scene in the GTA fuckin SUCKS lol. There's nobody out here. I'd organize shows and shit but I don't have the resources for that.
Funny enough, I never liked the SP404. I’ve always gravitated torwards my trusted friend the SP303, what I didn’t like with the SP404 is how it sounded digital when you time stretched, but on the SP303 it sounded like a warped tape. When a friend of mine(shout to Ross Da Producer) bought the SP404 I locked myself in his room for 7 days straight & churned out about two TDK 90mins tapes of 2minute beats. Aaah, the good ol days. Now I just rock it on my iPhone & my GAMEBOY DMG 1 with a nanoloop 1.7 & Mono cartridge. I’m going to make beats till I die like Dilla!!! I really appreciate videos like this cos it reminds me of how long this tradition of beat making has been going.
Hey Roland how come you never feature LORD BEATJITZU?!?!He is the original 404 master, the first ever 404 beat tape released in 2006 BEATJITZU volume 1. He championed the 404 since the beginning.....
They performed on this video at Grand Star Jazz Club in Chinatown, Los Angeles. If you’re in L.A. I suggest you guys check out Boombox every 1st Saturday of the month. Amazing place.
I know my real heads peeped how long the video is.....Peace and Blessings to all the REAL producers as well as the Beatmakers....!
That was the first thing i saw!! xD xD

Iconic. If you dont know Flylo, Ras, Samiyam, Mr Dibiase, GLK, Daedelus, Lorn, Tokimonsta, Madlib, Dilla, Doom and all them ... you cant know me.
You automatically get my Love & Respect just from that list!!! I need friends/ a wife like this .
Proper list homie!!
In b4 all caps when you spell the man's name
Ohbliv
BREADBAUX damn. Sneaking Dilla in there like that. JDilla if you please. Godfather of modern deep hip hop.
I come back to this video from time to time. Just to see, and hear my brethren again. And "add another layer to that sound"... RIP Ras G.

Man Ras G and dibiase are the reasons I bought a sp 404 10 years ago. Much respect to the fellow generals from Los Angeles
Much respect, Happy #404Day!
They are everybody’s reason for buying an sp
Is the SP u bought back in the days still alive?

dope to see this subculture growing

RIP Low End Theory, Blessings to the Torch Bearers!
magical era
Wishing this was 4 hours and 4 minutes. Could listen to the OGs talk about the beat scene for hours
We need a updated Roland SP404 XL with a LED Display screen and 8 track sequencer.
K Hardy oh snap got a like from Roland.
And the possibility to pitch samples without using the pitch effect!
Instead of having to resample and bake the 2nd FX into a sample to use more than 1 FX, a FX chain type option where a machine has 2 different banks for the FX setting, switchable so as to be able to, [pretty fluidly, be able to control the parameters 2 different FX on one sample (real time) without having to completely switch FX would be an awesome addition to the 555’s FX memory option.

Sampling is magic, the good things about sp404 beat in your backpack sampling everywhere.
Making beats has always been my mechanism of creative release! It's more than just banging on a drum machine! It's life...
Legendary Dibia$e, Flying Lotus and Ras G ! Respect...Chief

Ras g is such a poet...
"Some people wanna have a fly outfit, i always wanna have a dope ass beat"
Man I hope they drop a full documentary on this. I do dig the time length on this one though 👌
RIP Ras G, bittersweet to watch this. Glad I was there for 404 Day at Boombox.
