to a trip to China in 2011 (maybe 2010. I can’t remember). I’d just got a new laptop and was kind of broke. I had quit touring because I had gone to collage to see if I could be a social worker. I wasn’t really doing Atomic Hooligan stuff and my mum was sick. So I was splitting time all over the place just doing stuff. A China tour was offered so I took it as I needed the money. I put Ableton on my new laptop, got my visa and left for 2 weeks. Basically bunking off collage and playing music again.
I had fallen out of love with the music I was playing and was purely doing it for the money.
I was always finding and cutting samples and saving them to use at some point. So on my off days I thought, I’m going to make some hip hop. I made this loop with sample cuts and programmed some drums. Then I found the Jay Z sample.
When I got home, I asked .d.brownhill and to be on it and linked me with
It never really did anything, but I still love it. It gave me a bit of inspiration in a bit of a dark time in my life. As long as you can be creative, you can keep moving forward.
Anyway. Enjoy.
Also, I know this is a long real and hardly any of you will see it. Hahaha.
