I’m listening to a track from this release entitled iHop right now and it makes me feel like i’m driving down the highway at 30mph smoking a blunt throwing mad pancakes at everyone that doesn’t look happy, and when they look at me, i’m like ‘I feel good, what’s your problem’. Matt Shadetek (Dutty Artz / NYC Tropical) has released an amazing instrumental album, this guy here. Works in the club, at a bbq, early Saturday morning jogs to your favorite coffee shop. One hears a wide array of styles with Flowers (Grime, Dubstep, House, UK Funky, Disco, Dembow) and you begin to wonder, is the synth gonna jump out and cut my face? If you don’t buy this then yes, yes the synth will cut your face and the bass will cold jack you!
Here’s a track from the album.

I’ve been searching for these for a while and was finally able to come across some good samples for your projects! The cuíca, who’s sound is similar to the cry of the small jungle mammal for which it is named, is basically a single-headed drum with a small bamboo stick connected to the head. The cuíca originated in Africa, where it was used to hunt lions. The sound is similar to that of the female lion, so male lions would be attracted to it.
To play the instrument, use a damp piece of cloth folded (you can use water or kerosene) and placed between the thumb and index finger, rub the bamboo stick with the cloth somewhat gently. The sound produced is a high-pitched squeaky timbre.
Here are thirteen .wav samples for your pleasure. It would be awesome if you used them in a track and then sent it you us to post! Our email is on the right –>

I think what amazes me most about this audio splurge is it’s visual counterpart. NASA, the responsible graphic designer in question, hits the nail on the head with the triangular representation of the Americas. It reminds me that a diaspora has no chance of keeping us separated with these advancements in our universal sound.
