Tall Black Guy - "Midnight Chocolate Run"

Tall Black Guy Returns With The Results Of His Stab At The Sample Challenge Entitled "Midnight Chocolate Run."

Tall Black Guy returns from the lab with the tasty results of his stab at a recent sample challenge entitled "Midnight Chocolate Run." The production expands and contracts with a melody that plays like a short jaunt on Parliament's mother ship. The big sticky bass line and nuanced percussion send this track into another dimension; the locale is more than appropriate for TBG, who exists in a league all his own. No matter the length of the excursion, this is a bit of traveling music that will make any voyage worth the time it takes to pack a bag and roll out. Tall Black Guy serves up yet another shot of pure heat. Though it doesn't sound like it, he admits to having a bit of difficulty putting the pieces together for this joint:

Well this was a pretty intense contest. So many cool sounds to choose from. The sample that stood out to me the most was: S.arah - Manchester Market St, Jazz Guitar Busker, Night. That was the building block for my track. I chopped a small piece of the guitar and made the melody out of it. Then I played a chord progression over the top. I haven't sleep properly in like 3 days working on this tune. It was a challenge to work with all those field sounds.
