During the promo campaign for Run The Jewels’ unique concept album Meow The Jewels where Just Blaze also contributed, the team had promised to release something special from the legendary producer very soon.
Just Blaze has delivered on his word today by releasing a Drum Kit containing sounds he used in the early 2000s on some of the most iconic songs. He explains the release in his own words:
“Thanks to all who contributed to making Meow The Jewels a success. For the uninitiated, I promised to contribute a remix to the project if it was funded, and as an added bonus a good amount of the signature drums I used on many records in the early half of the 2000’s. Please note these are the raw, relatively unprocessed files straight out of my MPC (hence the delay in tracking them down and getting them to you guys). That said, in most cases, you’re not going to instantly press a pad and be like ‘OMG, IT’S THE SUCH AND SUCH SNARE!’ (though that will happen in a few cases). I used a lot of layering, compression, and EQ / Mix techniques to get these things to sound like the drums many of you knew and loved. Enjoy this starting point, and happy drumming! P.S. This is just the beginning. Stay tuned to Splice.com for much more!!”
