Last Night A BJ Choked My Wife - What did she expect, I was Indeep.
Rest in Peace..........thank you for your contribution to music with the legendary tr 808.
Untortunately ... RIP Legend !
I find it funny when a singer/actor dies our facebook feeds are a flood. A true legend dies and hardly a whisper. Most singers just sing... Yet this guy, regardless to ones musical tastes, Urban or Dance, this guy is responsible, deeply entwined into its unique sound. The 808, Urban, the 909, Dance. Even his failures became iconic on a colossal scale, the 303. This is before we get on to midi and all the rest of it.
He is in some way connected to all modern music.
Back when I was learning about electronic music, there was one formula that aided with any calculation of quality:
808 = GREAT
Still true. I know producers who seek out low serial number Roland gear because they hope it may have passed through this guy's hands at some point of the production.
RIP to a legend.
bored, curious, deaf or just bad taste in music?
finally a mix by me
and what's this, another shoddy mix...another dull mix
