Journal Update #11 APR - Dodz Single Release

I sent a tune called SABOR to Dodz a while back and he was really positive and complimentary about the beat, which was encouraging. I value his opinion and it was a good moment to get the OK from him on the project. He initially called me right after he’d listened to the beat and heaped praise on it. Dodz was the first collaborator to get on board with the project hence why it is the first single released and the second song on The Tape.

The beat is an original composition of mine that again draws on latin flavours mixed with Trap and Grime. The driving force of the beat is based off a guitar riff for which I used the Native instrument Cuba expansion to get that ‘authentic’ Latin sound. There are also Future Beats influences which can be heard in the use the saw synths for the chords. The concept of fusing Trap and Electronic music, with Hip-Hop, Grime and Latin is not something completely original or new though, “over the last year, trap gained a much-hyped interest in the electronic music world and blogosphere. It’s since evolved into a different beast, one that has a few opposed faces.” (Exarchos, 2016). I like the genre of Trap because of its “few opposed faces” (Exarchos, 2016); you can do a lot with it, fusing your own influences into any “Trap” beat. Southern originated Trap moved a bit further forward in the 2000s and embraced an “EDM sensibility that was pointing to the future” (Exarchos, 2016) eventually influencing every genre from Hip-Hop to Pop and Grime to Future Beats.

I sampled Snoop Dogg vocals for the intro and outro from the track Vato (a Hip-Hop tune with a Latin flavour), which I used to have on repeat when I was younger, on my little hi-fi in my bedroom... Tha Blue Carpet Treatment was one of the first rap albums I remember buying and Snoop will always be a favourite.

This is a mind map of themes and concepts explored in the track (pictured below)
