Sharm

Made by sampling Sharm El Sheikh, belly dancer shows, beer cans, street markets etc. Sequenced with iMaschine.

KOFF? wink  I'd love to drink some beers and enjoy watching some belly dancing to this song!

Innovative use of samples.  Works really well as a complete track.

Thanks! Actually this is looped twice here, since iMaschine does that when uploaded to Soundcloud. So its just a 32bar loop x2 here:) Might get back to this anyways!

Bleo: Beer was either Sakara or Birra:) They had crazy Sakara KING beer, 10% strong beer..

Good use of the samples here.  It's got the MPC vibe going on.

Thanks! I really like iMaschine as app, I hope it would extract midis but noo:(

Nice groove.

bad ass song!

Hell yeah!  This totally has an old-school MPC or SP-1200 kind of vibe. Great work.

How did you sample this stuff? I mean live at the Egypt trip? Coolexx.

As said there, with iMaschine. You can sample with it and also make synths out of those samples. Sample editing is really limited, only pitch and oneshot/play only when pressed down can be changed, no start or end points.  I had 2 instruments with drumpad setup (4x4 grid) with about 25 samples, and one synth with some of belly dancer shows sounds on it so I could play it over octaves. 1 synth was used for bassline.
