In this video I’m back on my Maschine MK3 making a super chill R&B vibe at 105 BPM. It’s fall, so I wanted something smooth and simple—just a clean groove that feels good right away. I start building the drums with a basic pocket, add a darker tone to the kit, then bring in a clap to give it that little extra bounce without overdoing it. From there I lay down the bass and keep everything moving like a real R&B foundation should. One of the main choices I talk through is the melodic part—there’s this glockenspiel-type sound where I’m deciding if it should stay where it is or come up an octave. I end up bringing it up so it sits better with the first two notes, and honestly it just feels smoother and more musical that way. After that, I arrange the beat while y’all hang with me, then we run the final product. If you know me, you know I love really simple grooves—let the vibe do the talking. Also, I shout out my new song “Waiting” and I really want y’all to stream it and support your girl. I’ve got more on the way too, including another release called “Just a Touch.”
