Anyone aware of any more in depth tutorials or masterclass type setups on offer for exploring that Ivy Lab side of halftime?
It seems to be a struggle to find anything significant to begin to build on. I’m aware Halogenix has said Dilla beats and grooves are vital, but that’s the extent of professional knowledge I’ve seen. -

Not a tutorial, but the most recent Back To Back podcast (https://soundcloud.com/backtobackpod), the guests are The Glitch Mob, and they mention several artists that you could check out. A lot of U.S. people revolve around The Lowend Theory party, so practically anyone from Team Supreme (Mr. Carmack, who Ivy Lab name check a lot, Tsuruda), EPROM (who works with Alix Perez as SHADES)
Here’s some videos I found. Have not checked them myself yet, but went with artist names I knew:
UA Artist Tips & Tricks – The Glitch Mob
* this one might be real good for a fundamental glitch beat
How I Play: EPROM Interview + Live Setup Walkthrough
Ivy Lab – DJsounds Show 2016
* interview at the beginning of the video
Rhythm Roulette: Mr. Carmack | Mass Appeal
* not exactly a tutorial, but maybe some workflow ideas
Kehlani x Mr Carmack – #songsfromscratch
* not really a tutorial, but might give some inspiration & ideas
Kenny Segal: Afternoon Hangs
* one of the Team Supreme guys, kind of a peak of his approach
Team Supreme: Strength in Numbers
* more of a short doc
Myself, I like some of the half-time stuff, and have started doing the Team Supreme cyphers as an exercise of sorts. You basically get a spec/writing prompt, a set BPM for that session, a due date (usually 3~7 days), a theme and/or some samples, which you usually have to use at least 2 or 3 of in your beat, and the beat has to be 1 minute +/- 15 seconds. Haven’t made it on to any mixes, but it’s definitely a fun challenge to get it done.

This was the most recent cypher, beats were due two nights ago: https://twitter.com/beatteamsupreme/status/991333973442740224
They announce them on Twitter and their FB page. Here’s the beat I threw together, might turn it in to a full track:

BTW maybe we should start a monthly exercise, call it something like Lamp Sessions, curator gives three samples (get it, genies, wishes…) & a spec? Rotate the curator each month, maybe have them put their favorite submissions together as a 15-20 minute mix.

Cool idea…
maybe using home made samples too might be a good way to get sharing some other content? If you wanted to put together a new thread for this and see if anybody wants to start sharing samples they’ve made could be fun / useful, as well as the idea of using samples from the packs ? 🙂 -

Sounds good. Give me a week or two to brainstorm, and I’ll get something together, see if other members want to take a stab at it. Got a couple ideas already. A member built sample library would be fun too.

A member submition sample library would be amazing. I’d happily throw my libraries over to this community.

Hey guys! Has this thing of the samples become real?
