In this video I’m in my element on the Maschine MK3 making a creepy hip hop beat by sampling Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” I’m really just having fun with it—taking that classic energy and flipping it into something darker, more knock-heavy, and cinematic. If you’re into sampling, spooky textures, and watching a beat come together in real time, this one’s for you. I keep it simple and vibe-driven: start from the sample, shape the mood, then build the bounce around it until it feels like a full beat. The main takeaway is that you don’t need a million steps—when the sample is strong, your job is to frame it right, make it hit, and keep the idea moving. And yeah… from the “entrance,” I’m letting you know the beat is coming for your speakers—watch, I got something for you.
