Up next in our series celebrating 35 years of the MPC we move to 1999 and the sound of UK garage 🎹
For this beat we moved onto the MPC Key 61 and made use of the pre-loaded plugin library on the unit along with a pitched RnB vocal for that classic garage sound 🔊
For a full rundown on how we made the track and which instruments we used check the link below:

We're back with another video celebrating 35 years of MPC innovation. Using only the Akai Professional MPC One+ (and MPK MINI Plus), we created a Hardcore Rave track circa 1992.

The second video in our series celebrating 35 years of Akai Professional MPC innovation takes us back to early 90s Hip Hop.
Created using the power of the MPC-X SE, with some help from ChatGPT for the lyrics, we used Fiverr to source a vocalist to lay down the AI generated bars and send them back to us for import into the MPC.

Here's the first of our eight tracks that celebrate 35 years of MPC innovation by Akai Professional. We kicked off our trip down memory lane with some classic house vibes, all created and arranged using the MPC-X SE and the MPK Mini Plus.

Join us at BeatGeek for the London Something Podcast Live.
DJ Ron will be joined by Brockie, Chris (Music House), DJ Rap, Geeneus (Rinse FM), Jumpin Jack Frost and Micky Finn to talk about the impact of the dubplate on the early Jungle and Drum N Bass scene as well as the genres which followed and the DJ world of today.
From the earliest foundations of the Jungle scene, before the term Drum & Bass was coined, Music House was the mecca for those thirsty to get their music out into the World. It was also, along with record shops, one of the central networking hubs of the DJ and producer community.
Before the USB stick or an mp3 share were conceived, the dub cutting service provided by Chris and the team at Music House was essential for the biggest DJs of the Jungle scene searching for exclusive fresh new music. The influence of Music House on DJ culture should not be overlooked - name any massive 90s Jungle record, it was cut on dubplate at Music House first!
