MPC EXperiment begins

I purchased an MPC XSE for my birthday, as I figured I wasn’t going anywhere, time to make some beats. I don’t drive, live in an isolated area, it’s hot and I am helping to take care of my Father whom has ALS. These are a few sketches I made while learning how to chop samples. They are basic, unmixed and not finished, but you can see my thinking or rather not. I am a long way off, the MPC has a steep learning curve, but I am enjoying my time on the machine, I hope I can make some nice beats.

Mix 1!

Artists included in this mix: Marvin Gaye, Rosie Lowe, Dam Funk, Roots Manuva, Chronixx, Grace Jones, Hans Zimmer, Special Request, Bop, Anthony Hamilton, Calibre, Seba, DJrum, deadmau5, Charles Bradley, Melissa Fortin.

My first attempt at recording a Djay mix.  All music has been purchased and no attempt to monetize these mixes has been made.  These are for your enjoyment, and unlike streaming services, all the music in my mixes I pay for, so music goes towards the artist, hopefully!
