DJ Dahi Uses Serato Sample in New Rhythm Roulette Episode
Mass Appeal has brought back acclaimed hip-hop producer DJ Dahi for a special, new episode of Rhythm Roulette. The series challenges producers to make a beat by sampling three random records, chosen from a record store while blindfolded.
Dahi, whose credits include Drake‘s “Worst Behavior,” Kendrick Lamar’s “Money Trees,” and Big Sean‘s “I Don’t F#ck With You,” produced a track using Serato’s new plugin, Sample. The software enables producers to find and manipulate samples in tracks using any DAW that supports VST and AU formats, such as Ableton Live, FL Studio, and Logic Pro.
In this episode, instead of going to a record store, Dahi went to New York City and dug through cardboard boxes in the back of a van owned by vinyl collector, Gene Brown.
Watch the video above.
DJ Dahi Makes a Beat With Three Random Records
Mass Appeal has featured acclaimed hip-hop producer DJ Dahi in its Rhythm Roulette series. The series challenges producers to make a beat by sampling three random records, chosen from a local record store while blindfolded.
A native of Los Angeles, Dahi made a name for himself in 2012 when he produced Dom Kennedy’s “My Type of Party.” He has since produced or co-produced anthems like Kendrick Lamar’s “Money Trees,” Drake’s “Worst Behavior,” Big Sean’s “I Don’t F#ck With You,” and ScHoolboy Q’s “Hell of a Night.”
Watch above to see Dahi make a track with three records, which he picked up at Amoeba Music in Hollywood.
