Already in primary school Beatmaschine discovered the passion for drums for himself. After several band projects he then discovered his love for jazz music. The connection between jazz and fat drums can be heard in his classic boombap beat. Beatmaschine aligns his straightforward samples with some kicking drums and lets it all ride. Smooth, lush compositions that still maintain a sharp edge. The interplay between the resonant piano samples and the demanding bop drums creates a deep, rich musical space. His beats are perfect for freestyling, or kicking back and praying that your buddy doesn’t start freestyling. There’s a pretty robust emotional palette in the music even without vocals, although he does use some extensive vocal sampling or scratching. For a straightforward beat head, especially one who doesn’t care for some of the more processed and voguing lo-fi sounds, it doesn’t get any better than this.
