  • In this video I break down Westside Gunn's Danhausen instrumental. This song is the favorite instrumental I ever produced, not my favorite beat but I love how this record came together. Def changed how I began to approach producing for an album.

    I like how he breaks down seemingly kind of straightforward, 4-8 bar loop beats, into what actually makes them sonically compelling in spite of their surface simplicity...conductor is up there with preemo, as far as the ability to create such soundscapes...I've listened to many a premier instrumental, minus the verses, and been blown away by the sheer economic simplicity and purity of a repeating 4 bar loop with some drums, a bass line, and some dropouts, and how with vocals on top, you never even realize the whole song is being carried by such a basic foundation. It's in the sound selection, and the treatment, tuning, and placement of those sounds, that the genius comes in....hats off

    I love that discomfort is apart of your creative process. I hear so many of your beats and i either love em immediately or Idk how to feel, but it always felt intentional. They always grow on me but it’s like they settle into some beautiful shit. Its genius.

    When I first heard this song, it put me in a trans. It took me somewhere familiar, and yet this beat felt so fresh to me. Ya got a Phenomenal ear for art man. Cause this is an art form. It’s great to see a creator breakdown his own creation.
    We are much blessed to have your work and music. Highly appreciate your beats and music man.💯🔥🔥
    Keep thriving brother.

    Yo Conductor! I’m a sampled based producer myself…just competed in the Battle of the Beatmakers and made the top 4 globally…what you’re doing for hiphop is incredible and your transparency with the behind the scenes of it all, is more than inspiring. I can relate about not making beats to look cool or fit in but for the people to just love sounds, that’s seriously all I want….Netflix needs to shoot a documentary about you asap lol. Blessings 🤞🏾

    When I started producing music, Shondrae was on the forums giving advice and talking about the experiences he had, really digging in. Later, Scratch magazine was in circulation and I bought every issue because it was inspiring to hear the journey. Conductor, humility is legend. No matter where this goes, you’re showing your passion and being an inspiration. Art isn’t flashy behind the scenes, its sleepless and its all consuming, but its love as well. Props to you on journey and for sharing.
