@Iron Keys For sure. The internet has really warped everyone's minds, whether they realize it or not.
Just today I saw a clip from a Blue Jays game in Toronto where some woman punches a cop:
My first thought was that she thinks she's on the internet and her actions don't have consequences...
That's what I mean! Thinking back, how did we store all those numbers in our heads? It seems impossible today, but we just did.
I still treat my phone as just that. I rarely use it and definitely don't use social media. But that's me. I just think that people have a choice in HOW they use these...
Exactly. But again, this comes down to a generational thing. You and I grew up in an era where we actually dealt with one another face to face. The internet didn't exist.
However, the younger generations don't know any different. To them, the internet is God. Everything is internet, even if...
That's one of the things I'm talking about. Sure, we do it here as we're joking about certain things, but we all know nothing beats actually replying to someone with text.
Just the whole "like" function alone has turned things sideways.
Let's not make this a politics/race/religion/conspiracy thread.
Just vent. Discuss.
Some of us remember life BEFORE the internet, some only know life WITH the internet. It's an interesting topic, and something I've found to be fascinating.
I remember my friend with a cell phone around 1998...
Maybe it's just me, but when I listen to these tracks I think of ways to use some of the techniques in my own beats. Transitions, basslines, drum patterns, melodies, etc.
I haven't checked for any House songs in a while, so it would be good to have a list here. I find most of the time it's the remixes that are dope. Like Sean McCabe, Joey Negro, Opolopo, etc.
It's not just house remixes but it's a mix of Soul, Neo-Soul, Dance, R&B. Here's some:
RESULTS!

Props to all those that entered, and to those that took the time to vote.
I think the beats are pretty good. I don't think anyone nailed it 100%, but that's expected. The point too of themes like this is to see (hear) everyone's interpretation of the 80s. It's also a good way for everyone to maybe discover a new way to do things with their beats.
