I’ve got to big-up my beatmaking brethren from the SP-Forums and post up the new instrumental beat compilation Skeleton Crew Vol. 2 produced by an incredibly talented selection of producers from around the world who run things armed with Roland SPs and great taste in samples.

More flavor than Skittles

Everyone has their own favorite internet forum. Every piece of popular consumer gear has some chat-board dedicated to it. Sadly, many of these forums end up like snake pits of negative energy, with users trashing each other with pwns & fails, anonymous post-zillas claiming that “X” is clearly better than “Y”, so anyone who prefers “Z” clearly sucks elephant balls and so on… not so much with the SP Crew. Mad respectful, informative and fun, people helping each other out with tips, tricks, and constructive feedback with tons of non-music related tidbits that’ll put you up on something new for sure.

Beat machines are the new guitars so do yourself a flavor and download this tape and light up a fat…. um… candle while you play it loud- hXc

p.s. The MPC3000 is my old reliable Cadillac that stays parked in the garage (my studio). The SP-606 is my speedy compact Honda that I take out and whip around town (do shows with).

This is the story before treasure Island. How Long John Silver went from law abiding sailor to Gentleman Buccaneer and how Captain Flint went from a member of the Kings Navy to one of the most feared Pirates around. It answers the question how did Long John loose his leg. How did blind Pew become blind. And why did Flint and Silver fall out.

Good news is that this has been picked up as a movie. I can’t wait for the follow up

first there is a new song called “rock it”

second a new video, jamming on the piano:

ENJOY!
