- Watch as Dahi (Kendrick Lamar, Jay Z, Pusha T, Madonna, 21 Savage, Vampire Weekend) makes a beat with KOMPLETE NOW, using melodic guitar riffs over an Afrobeat inspired groove. Dahi uses even more cutting edge Native Instruments gear with his KOMPLETE KONTROL S49 keyboard.
After laying down a melodic piano progression with NOIRE, Dahi builds a spacious sonic world with dark and delicate textures from CLOUD SUPPLY. Then he layers different guitar rhythms from STRUMMED ACOUSTIC 2 and PICKED ACOUSTIC to create an additional pattern that gets covered in slapback delay and automated feedback, all courtesy of RAUM. After selecting a suitably saturated bass sound from LO-FI GLOW, Dahi builds the track’s Afrobeat backbone with BATTERY: NOW, then adds vocal riffs treated with REPLIKA for a dotted slapback sound to accent the main melody before lending a tribal element with MASSIVE X and closing it all out with additional atmospherics.

Hello Native Instruments
My name is
Rose Covered Gas Mask
And I do believe Bluegrass has not yet had its proper electronic rebirth...
🪕🎻🎚🎛🎹
🥀🥀🥀🥀
🤔 what do u think🤘🔥🥀
Mad Alien Producer
Nicely presented 🎵
What DAW is this?

Dahi's creativity is out of this world. It's such a breath of fresh air compared to producers that just follow trends.
Ain't the truth. Respect.
Preach on
Pro producer has cheat sheet stickers on his keys…. Proof you should never let stigma ruin your creativity.
If that’s what you need to do what you do, do it.
Couldn't agree more, just do what you gotta do!
What’s the cheat sheet ? Is it just the keys labeled or what ? Would love to know.
@@r.i.psteez929 yeah people just think it looks amateur I think especially when you’ve worked with sooo many huge artists they’d expect you just know your music theory. I’ve been making music on and off for 10+ years now and honestly don’t know ANY music theory 😂 then again I am mostly a percussionist and sample-beat-maker for the most part
Let's go!! 🔥🔥
🚀
this dude need to make his own instrumental albums I'd listen for sure 😍😍
Yes please!
He had one called Toys. I can't find it anymore though. It was 🔥🔥🔥
Dahi is phenomenal,he can go with any genre and make it sound so unique,definitely a legend.🔥
I like his workflow
We dig it.
One of few producers that experiment and produced for J Cole, Drake, Kendrick and Jay Z
Thanks Native Instruments for choosing this master genius of music production
We gotcha 🙌
Dahi has consistently been criminally underrated
Skill, natural talent, and music theory knowledge. He is definitely a monster!!! This was incredible
Couldn't agree more!
its actually crazy how many hits this man is responsible for
bro so talented
Pretty sure he's cooking some more 😎
Producers are so underrated, their heavily slept on!!!!!!!!!
Dude is legit
More than legit 🔥
Dahi beats are goated and somehow i feel still underrated, lots under the surface, love it
I love how he speaks about it as well "create the world" it lives in. Producers often give beats like a bag of chips and as an artist you want a producer to recognize that a beat can make what you want to say pour out of you or force you to squeeze it out based on how many colours they gave you to paint with
Damn... I feel I haven't been respectful to my art form... I definitely fell into the "crank out beats like a factory" mentality. But each song has the POTENTIAL to become a masterpiece and should be treated that way. Thanks, Elle.
such a flawless tutorial. goes from a simple idea into something so rich. appreciate you dahi.
I love how the guitar melody sounds like DJ Quick, “let’s get down.” A new twist; although, very nostalgic … 👍
Oh man! The song, workflow and exploitation of technology are all SO DOPE!!! Thanks for the presentation!! 😃
Put his amazing creativity aside, The ENERGY of this guy is something else. Love u Dahi 👏
One of the greatest, always unique with the sound 🔥
Dude is definitely talented
That's not even a question 🙌
I absolutely love these videos. Thank you NI!
Dahi is one of the dopest producers and I love watching him create. Thanks NI for always giving us the inside scoop!
Count on us 🕵🏻♂️
@@NativeInstruments bet. One of the main reasons why I belong to the NI ecosystem. You are awesome!!!
Dahi is definitely one of my favorite producers in current times. He has his own sound. I don't think I've ever seen do a generic trap or drill beat, like a lot of current beat makers do. He also doesn't use fake 808 kits on everything. It's crazy to hear how many rappers basically use the same sounding beat over and over. There's obviously a bit of difference between trap/drill beats, but they mostly use the same rhthym, drum kit, and arpeggiated melody, with the same piano, pluck, bell, and sine or saw wave synth sound. These elements are 99.8% of all trap and 95% of drill. UK and NYC are at least doing different stuff. Florida has it's players too, but other than that Trap and Drill beats are corny and generic.
those key stickers are genius
Just to soak this up is a blessing
That was dope to watch and very inspiring! Loved the sound of that groove!
Thanks a ton!
Love watching this dude work.
DAHI IS JUST HUMBLE AND UNIQUE 100%
Love this feel!🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m so so excited by your workflow and talent I want to do what you do for a living I’m solely convinced great job. Now I go to watch again
Very inspiring, thanks Dahi!
Wonderful! This is certainly one of those videos which ignite the spark within 🔥
Words ✨
that vibe is pure quality
Dahi!!! Definitely a *MUST WATCH*
Class! From an inspiring producer!

Dude has always been Dope
Dahi I'm glad you use the letter system on your keys I received this tip from a TH-camer n it changed my life
The goal is to leave the beat empty but full enough. Fine balance.
He makes it look so intuitive.
Dahi is so dope!!

Oe of my GOATS in producing
Such a dope beat I could definitely hear Koffee going off on it
A LEGEND
