Congrats Per.du - Fun rules and a great track for sampling
Had a go at making something out of the samples but it somehow all ended up in quite a dark place. No G-Funk or any holiday vibes, so will label this as non-entry and have a proper go at trying to make some uplifting G-Funk later today.
Sampled many parts of the provided track (+Outside additional drum hits for some layers)
My imaginary vacation would take place in a tropical rain forest but my beat headed in a different direction and now I'm chilling on a rooftop overlooking a city skyline at night which is also a dope vacation location.
Hey Brothers, hope you are taking good care of you and others. Pretty hard challenge this week, but lots of pleasure to make beats around here as usual.
I saw the theme of the 681 battle. Imaginary Holiday. Interesting. I want to travel by train. And I want to visit Rome again. Not a very spectacular dream… (if you live in Europe). Then I listened to the sample, and I thought that the guitar intro had a nice “train feeling”.
It did not work like I thought thou… But I post my track anyway.
On my Imaginary Holiday I bring my SP-404SX. That machine is my tool (for this track), plus a stomp box reverb. I added one (1) bass tone and a robotic voice from lingojam.com/RobotVoiceGenerator. Try to make this speech synth procurance “Italy”!!!
If the dice fell a different way I'd be in London right now, in a basement in Farringdon watching someone with a proper scouse accent going crazy with an SP-404 that is missing a few knobs...
I chopped all the samples from the track in Maschine, and added vocals from a video on London slang.
Remix Day = A day when All Beatmaker/Producer (World Wide) had to Remix randomly selected acapellas like competition for producer of the year . My role in my holiday would be competitor. Good luck and enjoy my entry
