By far one of the most under-rated sound design masters when it comes to making a vibe. Not afraid to run into complete train wrecks in the creative process to find the answer.
you know Ta-ku could whip up some fire on rhythm roulette. days for dilla, nights for nujabes type stuff... (anyone else miss those days vs where hes at now?)
alot of people are ripping on esta, yea, a majority of his playing is off key, but many variables come into play apart from the one that he was paying for time. his ears were tired, constantly listening to the same rythm deceives your brain. anything would sound good, it's something all producers go through. if bro went back to it, shit would be 🔥
Everybody got their preference to what they like. It don't mean they're close minded. One love to homie for being blessed with the opportunity to be on the show but personally I think those beats duke did is 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️
please understand that this series and this series alone justifies the existence of RUclips, there is no more pure expression of God than creation, and the fact that you would choose to capture it in this way and share it is extraordinary. well done.
There's some dissonance when the chords interact with the melody, but I think the chords were meant to be jazzy and that sort of clash happens often in jazz. Or at least that's how I feel cause I dig it.
Those Adams monitors though. OMFG!!! I have Adams, but I have the A7xs. The joint he has are Bananas!!!! Mines were 8 hundred a piece, so I know them joints cost bread!!!! Adams are the shit!!!
I follow ESTA and he even said he rushed it. (He was paying for studio time) it's still a good beat, whether simple or not. Though, when are people just gonna appreciate the process rather than watch this just for critiquing sake?
I know this is a long shot and probably not possible due to logistics and/or legality, but is there anyway of compiling the beats producers have made on rhythm roulette to be downloaded or streamed somewhere?
I remember him doing a bootleg RR on his RUclips channel a while back and now he's out here doing the real thing haha, kudos. Shoutout to the Soulection fam!
That black ableton preference is all fun and games till you try to see 32nd note marks lol

This is the most layered beat after Black Milk's. Haven't seen this much depth since.
Dope levels, dope beat.
By far one of the most under-rated sound design masters when it comes to making a vibe. Not afraid to run into complete train wrecks in the creative process to find the answer.

That's Earl being a smart-ass
LMAOOOO
Thought I was the only one till I scrolled down lmao
Never been so excited for a rhythm roulette, dude the most versatile producer out here. Creative process and sound design is fucking unbelievable.
I literally requested you guys to get a hold of Esta. like a couple weeks ago & you did it!!!!! Thanks @massappeal !!!! thamk you soo much!
My bro used to be the Irish Descendants' road manager.I will show him this. Break his mind for sure.
Mass Appeal, please tell that you guys are going to make a beat tape out of all the Rhythm Roulette episodes
Those Drums, hard knocking as a Hammer!
I had been waiting for this forever man you don't even know
I was expecting him to just throw some drums over that loop and call it a day. This was doper than I expected.
i came back to this video so much. the one producer that inspired me so much.
they need to get sango on here.
They did now, check it!
One of the best Rhythm Roulettes!
How? All he did was look at a computer, where's the fun in that?
Stop it...
L
Damn, I been following this dude since 2010. Crazy how he's here now
One of my favorite on rhythm roulette
this beat is fire. fucks wrong with yall? lmao.
+Kurrent yeah they like Edm shit too and whatnot. lame ass, to each their own but these fools so close minded lmao.
hi-c Yo I was dead feeling the same way. This jawn is fire 🔥! I hate closed minded people. Like everyone does shit differently.
Everybody got their preference to what they like. It don't mean they're close minded. One love to homie for being blessed with the opportunity to be on the show but personally I think those beats duke did is
🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️
Yo, ESTA!!!!!! Haven't heard from this guy since EPonym & Esta back in 2Nai days.
Daaamn! Esta came thru , 808s on point!!
Glad to see he switched up from more than just that main loop. End result was dope. His drums knock.
One of the best RRs I’ve watched right here. Dope beat.
Please get Sam gellaitry on here !!!!!
João Luiz this is the greatest comment here
in the piano the V7 chord (the 2nd chord) was beautiful! dope flip all in all!
More Producers like this please!!
About time Soulection get some shine on here.
please someone, please what is the track playing in the beginning
ESTA - Luna
thank you
please understand that this series and this series alone justifies the existence of RUclips, there is no more pure expression of God than creation, and the fact that you would choose to capture it in this way and share it is extraordinary. well done.
I don't agree with the God part but the creativity of this series is incredible.
+Corey McCraw are you black ??
wow...yea thanks for getting someone who can deliver! one of my faves
esta is the man. Life rules. Have a good day
RUclips.
I been following this guy since his eklipz95 RUclips username days. He is for sure the one
right there with ya dude, I was a huge Eponym & Esta fan when they collabed
i know ! can you imagine how excited i was to see a rhythm roulette from him ?
Checkin' in from EP&ESTA days. This progression he's been on is so glorious. Really happy to see this!!
This Rhythm Roulette got something magic 🚀
THIS HARD AF, GOD BLESS ESTA. AND THE WHOLE SOULECTION WAVE!
Great producer, I love the remixes he does as well.
I'm not convinced by the harmonic choices but it sounds quite good.
Piano chords sound off, or is it just me.
yeh chords def clashed with the melody
Yeah, he was guessing and he guessed wrong
There's some dissonance when the chords interact with the melody, but I think the chords were meant to be jazzy and that sort of clash happens often in jazz. Or at least that's how I feel cause I dig it.
yea this was painful to listen to.
he also passed by some potentially sick samples too imo.
Yee I heard it too but it only goes well on certain parts of the beat
what kind of monitors are those (the little ones with the plastic sheilds)? Never seen anything like that before
Ven hacia mi en esta nuestra Luna de miel!! Greetings from Spain ;)
bro what is the sample name
this is so sick ! the soundselection of esta is so fking nice
got that same keyboard in 49, i love it
More soulection producers please
Sam Gelliatry would be so sick
Truly. this is the best of the artistry. i mean dayum. esta did the art proud!
oh shit i live 5 min from that record store!
Bro this is fuckin amazing, one of the best I've seen on RR
my prayers has been answered
His production style reminds me of Illmind, and that sample is dope!
Reverb on the bass would have sounded mint. This was mint. I looooove it
Yes I've been waiting for this 👏🏽
How could you hate on this, Esta and soulection at the forefront of new "real" music. Period.
dayum nice sample esta....I need to hear from u more.
can we get more from the soulection family on this series! J-Louis, Iamnobodi, Mr Carmack etc!
I saw ESTA and I was like oh man this that dude that flipped Doug when i got into producing.
Was hyped. no disappointments here.
I can really hear someone like Bryson Tiller doing his thing on this
at first i was thinking "ehh" turned that around nicely!! salute
Earl Sweatshirt signing off as Flo Rida at the record store is hilarious.
next sam gallaitry? or Oshi
this is cool, like the mix of something trap and classic.
It was Lowkey Dope.
Much love to esta, dude is always bringing the heat
Sango Next Please!!
Can u have Sango up next ?
HOLY SHIT! FINALLY, SOME SOULETION RADIO IN DIS BIHHHH
super hot fire........ hope this goes on soundcloud .
he uploaded it on his soundcloud
Those Adams monitors though. OMFG!!! I have Adams, but I have the A7xs. The joint he has are Bananas!!!! Mines were 8 hundred a piece, so I know them joints cost bread!!!! Adams are the shit!!!
Favorite producer ever
FINALLY SOMEONE FROM SOULECTION! GOOD VIBES
I follow ESTA and he even said he rushed it. (He was paying for studio time) it's still a good beat, whether simple or not. Though, when are people just gonna appreciate the process rather than watch this just for critiquing sake?
Been hype for this for a while now. Dudes got a really unique sound and the beat he made in this was pretty dope.
Been waiting for this
awesome !
That was fire!
great one! srsly. stoked to see esta.
Does anyone know what's the "choppy" effect on ableton that sounds like grossbeat on fl studio ? 3:59
Best Rhythm Roulette ever !
esta's style always so refreshing
and his stopped by one of my favorite studios that i still have yet to visit!! lol! shoutout to Truth Studios!!
wow, now that's some technique...Really banging beat.
What's the name of the song that is playing in the beginning of the video?
...that feeling when you finally make it on Rhythm Roulette and everyone's comments are on a pic of Earl Sweatshirt
I know this is a long shot and probably not possible due to logistics and/or legality, but is there anyway of compiling the beats producers have made on rhythm roulette to be downloaded or streamed somewhere?
thank you. needed this
How. That was fire
Geat job!
I remember him doing a bootleg RR on his RUclips channel a while back and now he's out here doing the real thing haha, kudos. Shoutout to the Soulection fam!
Really Good!!!
I like how he played some of the drums and keys on his laptop KB. I knew the Samurai haircuts would come back one day!
these videos are so inspirational! keep em coming :)
HOT FYA! need sango fasho
first beat i ever heard from him was parables been a fan ever since. sonics were unreal. glad he made it here!
I felt he didn't need the sample lol. I was looking for some dope sample chops.
