Scoop DeVille Makes a Track With Three Random Records


 
Mass Appeal’s Rhythm Roulette is one of our favorite series on YouTube. It’s always interesting to see how sampled-based producers put together tracks, especially when done on the fly with random records.
 
For the latest episode, Grammy-nominated producer Scoop DeVille creates a track using albums by James Taylor, The Righteous Brothers, and Aztec Two-Step, which he picked up at Scotty’s Record Shop in New Jersey. For those who don’t know, Scoop is best-known for producing Kendrick Lamar’s “Poetic Justice” and “The Recipe” and Snoop Dogg’s “I Wanna Rock.” Most recently, he produced Snoop’s “Back Up” (currently number fifteen on DJcity).
 
Watch him work his magic above.
