  • 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.

      @@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

    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

    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.
