All these Damu clips are gold.I can't even count how many times I've watched all of them over the years.Perfect remedy for writers block.There has been many times I have had to been reminded of the essence.
Thats true man, also keep in mind that his collection of vinyls maybe is worth a couple of thousands. it takes alot of money, patience and time to own a basement looking like that, something that people tend to forget.
DAMU! The man. i love this guy, what a humble, awesome dude who just makes the sweetest music.. i could listen to him talk about hip hop and do his thing all day.
Thank You for sharing your process!,....we have to give them praise whn we see their workflow!....Im frm the Pete Rock,Marley,Prince Paul era, & these were GUARDED SECRETS!
this guy is such an inspiration... After I've been watching a video with him I go back to my akai and become so much more productive. Thank you for being so creative and real at the same time...
I agree! I've been watching these dope damu stuff for ages and this video just shows that he is one of the dopest producers at the moment! "Its vintage with a new twist on it" 7:02
I'd love to see a tutorial on using the lowpass filter to get to the drums. I'd also love to know how you work with a sample that you have just sped up by just spinning the record real fast... Amazing. Where's part 2?
@cheddab0b that's part of it, because it will reduce the sample rate. also, the old digital samplers had lower bitrates. then, sampling from vinyl, and pushing your volume levels well past the distortion point. all of those things contribute to the gritty sound. all things that can be emulated on computers, too, but the original techniques just sound like that naturally.
WORD true school!!! I met him 2wice. once in madison square park and the second time at fat beats. Hes a good humble person and definitely glad i got to meet him. Hope he comes out to NYC again ad im sure he will!!!
Well yeah Chedda slowing down the sample COUPLED with the way you filter the sample(s) within the options the MPC provides will give you a grittier sound.
That'z whutz up DaMu, good luck getting thru the fuckin politics of those that don't know shit about the music or the whole essence of the culture for that matter. Support the underground people and the independent artist. That means making real purchases of the artist and their music.
Would someone tell me what the name of the song is that plays at around 7:37 please? I've been searching on TH-cam and Google for a couple of hours now and i'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
Search for Damu The Fudgemunk - 3 Rare Beats. You can hear the entire intro beat there but it's super low quality because it was record live, probably on someone's phone or something.
i know exactly what he means when he says he stayed up for three days. when i first got mine there was so many ideas i had in my head for years i just let it all out and got to work immediately... didn't leave that thing for atleast 52 hours
*And for the few who did hit thumbs down(for reasons unknown). . you don't know SHIT ABOUT HIP HOP MUSIC*. . . **end of rant** Very good job spitting musical knowledge Damu. .
I still appreciate this video over 10 years later. Still at it.

So basic and straightforward, but still dope. 💪🏾
"Perfect remedy for writers block"
Makes me feel young again. Damu is the avatar of my mid life crisis, and Im enjoying every minute of it.
This man should be held in high regard just like Pete Rock and J Dilla. Not many people know this man and he's like another Dilla.
Thats true man, also keep in mind that his collection of vinyls maybe is worth a couple of thousands. it takes alot of money, patience and time to own a basement looking like that, something that people tend to forget.
14 years later this video is still ILL! Crazy how time flies!
U ain’t lyin bro.
DAMU! The man. i love this guy, what a humble, awesome dude who just makes the sweetest music.. i could listen to him talk about hip hop and do his thing all day.
"it's very simple - you sit down, and make a beat"
man I love Damu so much
technically the truth haha
This dude is the fuckin' man. been following for many years. love his work
Fantastic Damu has been my favorite DJ since the first time I heard him.
Old school with it, & his workplace screams passion. glad I found this video again though; haven't seen it in ages.
I wish I could hear some of Damu's beats back when he was 17
This is better than school
A personal favourite and living legend!
Thank You for sharing your process!,....we have to give them praise whn we see their workflow!....Im frm the Pete Rock,Marley,Prince Paul era, & these were GUARDED SECRETS!
Thank you for sharing! I can't put it into words how much his videos meant to me, when he started back in the day on youtube! #BeatmakersUnited
this guy is such an inspiration... After I've been watching a video with him I go back to my akai and become so much more productive. Thank you for being so creative and real at the same time...
Spectacular feature, thanks for sharing this!
never take the years in the making for granted. much success to you bro.
That was dope as hell. Makes a man wanna make beats. Plus this dude is a huge fan of Pete Rock, thats my favorite producer too. Bam.

Beautiful Damu.... Nuff said !

First record was funky 💪🏾
@cutdafukup the floppy disks are because that's the format the MPC-2000 uses. they didn't have zip drives back then.
@cheddab0b that's part of it, because it will reduce the sample rate. also, the old digital samplers had lower bitrates. then, sampling from vinyl, and pushing your volume levels well past the distortion point. all of those things contribute to the gritty sound. all things that can be emulated on computers, too, but the original techniques just sound like that naturally.
damn i gotta open up that video every time just to listen to that flute beat...
what is the beat that starts at :08? that shit is flames!
WORD true school!!! I met him 2wice. once in madison square park and the second time at fat beats. Hes a good humble person and definitely glad i got to meet him. Hope he comes out to NYC again ad im sure he will!!!
It’s been 14 years and I still haven’t found the name of the first track 😑
That turntable does a 78 speed? Thats gotta sound so gritty when pitched down
Well yeah Chedda slowing down the sample COUPLED with the way you filter the sample(s) within the options the MPC provides will give you a grittier sound.
Absolutely brilliant.
YO ANYBODY THE FIRST BEAT AT THE START WHERE'S IT FROM AND WHATS IT CALLED???
first beat is magic!
Damu is as dope as it gets
I love this dude!

Make that over a decade FAM! Still here!
We here damu
I might have to attempt recreating it
Still here. Yo you got a word on the sample fam?
That'z whutz up DaMu, good luck getting thru the fuckin politics of those that don't know shit about the music or the whole essence of the culture for that matter. Support the underground people and the independent artist. That means making real purchases of the artist and their music.
he probably uses it when hes On The Go, but its hard to tell, cause he also take that MPC2000 out on the streets to..
@deelib96 you put a low pass filter on it..so you can just hear the bass of the sample..
anyone know what track the first beat is? =p Love that one
"...you know 'pause'. As they say.." Lol
i like his workplace
That's how you can tell he's a genius at what he's doing. Productive people have messy rooms.
He's the conscientious soul of the Hip Hop world
DJ Premier is a surprisingly nice and down-to-earth cat. Met the brotha at Fat Beats in NY twice. Peace.
dope. wheres that from?
Would someone tell me what the name of the song is that plays at around 7:37 please? I've been searching on TH-cam and Google for a couple of hours now and i'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
+TheDosem I know you asked this over a year ago, but in case you never found it, the song is "Dizzy" by Y Society. Damu made the beat!

Mabus

@h1ph0p1 should be an option on your EQ, low-pass filter or LPF.
💎🔥💎🔥💎
@vcastsam he uses technics for scratching better build quality, nostalgia, and just really great turntables
LEGENDARY!!!!!

Is that an equalizing module to the right of his MPC in the beginning of the video?
