to everyone watching this in 2017...we have to preserve the legacy of this period of UK music. if you got pirate radio tapes post them! deja 92.3, rinse 100.3, it dont matter...if you got dubplates, acetates, refixes, even cassette tapes, rip to mp3 and post them! if this stuff isn't preserved, the livest, most organic time in UK music will be lost forever. i watch this interview and el-b just personifies a whole era of the best, most soulful music that ever came out the UK. i really mean this from my heart, this is a PSA. record everything you have from this era, and put it on the internet where everyone can see it, or it'll be gone....forever. and the world will have lost something truly great.

I got a liquid dnb mix from the 90's?? It's a cd with the artists writing, I tried to track down all the artists with that name and asked them if they are the artist from the cd and do they want it back but nobody has replied to me, I can upload if anyone is interested?

"I use volumes, panning and EQ and that's it" What a boss, a lot of producers these days should take note of these words and pay attention to the basics.
I agree mate. I saw this video in 2008 and I sold everything I got that I hadn't used in over a year. EL-B total master
@@fabricioserrano4293 I sold my drum machine after realizing I used it as a toy and did all my programming in FL lol
@@acsone3546FL Studio the goat DAW
i want a pint with this guy
I've had a pint with him. He's a fucking riot.
El B has such a swagger to him, they don’t make em like that no more.
"Just to butter it up...we got a gun shot in there". Something out of People Just Do Nothing.
jhm5hs FACTS
"It all starts in the Club" my favourite El-B track. Legend!
Burial's main inspiration right there.
yes, mainly towards the beats, uk garage spark thing, there s Photek also as a big influence of Will
and skreams
@@polofayot Will lol you best mates? get a grip
When he chats about Plastician using a laptop when it was completely new - El-B blown away by Serato!
such a simple yet concise explanation of compression
that's mad that he's describing seeing serato for the first time at the end there - I saw mark ronson playing live on serato around the same time (2007) and I didn't know what I was looking at, blew my mind. definitely changed things - the portability and flexibility is unreal, although it took away from the crate digging aspect which I loved.
This guys fucking mint. Especially that bit about don't hold back and don't be scared. Music needs more EL-B's.
what a geezer
I come back to this video periodically, once a year minimum, just for the fucking entertaiment value of watching and listening to El-P. I'd like to think 12 years later, I'm beyond the lessons in these videos, but I can listen to this dude for days.
this video is the bomb. in case anyone is wondering, the tune he's working on there is 'endorse & set it' by el-b and roxy.
Watched this again in 2020. Love it!
Legendary producer, legendary camera work
I keep coming back to this interview, so inspiring and somehow fills me with energy
Me toooooo. I must have seen this video over 40 times since 2008
absolute legend... different class as a producer..
I remember buying the mag and watching this years ago -Still fresh
Right, if anyone is still looking for the name of the track used in the beginning of the video, it's "Ghost - The Spooks."
Best CM mag interview ever
EARLYBIRDS yeesss hahah
The Rusko one was class as well
This the best tutorial vid out there. Nothing long. This is inspiration. No complication. You can do it next
sfx bass and beat three main elements, if your groove is on point you shouldn't need anything but that. beautiful qoute
fucking legend
"make it loud and make it crazy and turn the club inside out"
forgot about sweatbands until now!
This dude is just as cool as I thought he would be. Vibez match his music.
Top man I love the way he makes such good music with simple techniques. Talks a lot of sense too
stone cold fucking legend
EL-B - one of the early pioneers of dubstep before it was even called dubstep.
For anyone interested el-b is playing at the cellar in Oxford on Wed 11th December (2013)
i can definetly see how this man influenced burial, its quite clear to see
That was the best master class
That spliff!
Love this guy! Such a pleasure seeing how one of my favorite records was made.
"When you've been digital for a while, I don't think you want crackles" ...haha classic comment.
but 8 years later and vinyl is still here - not like it was but its alive and well
excellent upload btw - loved it - cheers
bigger than ever now
@@Nathan-np9zg no it isn't lol
Really good tutorial, real mcoy down to earth, study, study the sounds, the arrangements, thanks man
At 14:40 when he says “it’s about what you do with it than what you got” seems obvious but damn people to forget that. And also “experiment like how you did when you first started” listen to that if you took nothing else from this tutorial
this is great. he's mad thorough explaining shit.
This is a fountain of knowledge. What a great guy, awesome perspective on production.
i was in hs still listening to mastadon while this was going on. classic stuff
His voice is fucking mesmerising... amazing.
Oh my god how I would like to see Burial doing one of these videos...
😂😂 how we can dream
wicked insight into a masters dojo,respect!!!
"It's not what you got, it's how you use what you got." 8:04
what a valuable video, I'm for sure downloading this and chucking it in a folder somewhere
Roxy & EL-B - Endorse & Set It is the track
Legend! Great lesson in simplicity.
Give me vinyl any day but what he says about carrying all your tunes in your pocket must be the way to the floor.....classic interview!!!
Man I love these old ”In the studio with…” videos
My fav YT vid
aint the gear its the ideas, el b is a true master
compreshah
Nice
Very primitive production sparks creativity. El-B proves that here.
*****
neuro sounds are so f-ing hard to make, they make my head explode
Rainier Albertsz Decent low end harmonics, process to fuck, render, re-process, re-render, just keep doing that till you're happy
Rainier Albertsz It's all about the effect automation for the bass sounds. And proper layering for the drums.. Take it easy, think about each move you do and what it's going to do to the sound.
Loving your wkd vibe brother man. I was there at the beginning of Garage. I am Glad your keeping the Garage alive well done brother man. 👋👋
legend!
"a good song's got no date stamp"
EL B has smashed hard garage dub scene
Pretty cool to see this although i gotta say i was surprised to see it was 2007, seems much earlier, but then again, the basics never age.
I do agree with you really. I don't tend to do any EQing except for rolling off the lows where required, I prefer to choose sounds which sit well with each other in the first place. That's something I've definitely learnt.
i like this guy right to the point no bullshit, makes good music because he wants to.
What a fucking legend! 'Everybody on the dancefloor', 'study'.
Da man EL b. Got all this guys beats on vynl.
🐐
Learnt a lot from this
man, I need to butter up my mixes a whole lot
I can smell the cheese only by looking at this video
That was fucking great. What a G
lol at the xbox controller
Most entertaining and informative Masterclass ever !!
This is awesome. Shame you can't really hear the bass on the tracks he's talking about. Needed a better mic...
love hearing him describe when he first saw serato
So simple but so amazing.. damn.
legendary dubstep producer right there
+Clarke *Garage
El-B never made dubstep he was one of the founding members of the instrumental garage era that evolved into Dubstep and Grime, get the facts right please it's important. I'm a UK Garage, Grime and Dubstep scholar there's not much about the origin of these sounds i don't know. Shit my channel alone proves that
shut up you melt
hahaha dubstep scholar.
yesman 28 mmm tuna melt
Yeah, I think working in audio is probably the way to go in general anyway! I mainly make progressive house and trance (although I also make breaks and dubstep type stuff for my production music) so the big sounds are only really exposed during the big breakdowns. The good/bad thing about producing music is that you can never stop learning and never know it all.
this video is like the Dead Sea Scrolls of UK dance music. ancient knowledge passed down through generations
i like this guy
can of ting, good man!
he explains it as if its sorcery or something lol. hes awesome.
Rhekluse this comment made me bust out laughing
Listening to the audio it sounds like Terry Tibbs in the studio.
2020 here!
man is a fucking legend
He's the best at garage
El B is a mad genius
absolute master
proper hard track
life changer
The Xbox controller is the perfect set piece for this video
5:40 'To save processor power' is not a phrase we have to use any more.
speak for yourself mate :)
Trevor Lee In less I'm using my PowerBook, lots of bouncing down is needed on that, but my main 2nd gen i7 laptop runs beast.
LAHegarty We have to worry about it *less*, cause if you use things like U-he Diva... forget about it, you have to resample.
5:40 'To save processor power' is not a phrase I have to use any more.
LAHegarty do you even serum bro?
sympathetic dude!
22:37 I like how he kissing his own hand
22:24 is it naff, does it impress ? - haha. Great producer !
this is fucking gold
"As big as you want it, you can chop it where you want it, fade
it in-n-out where you want it. Reverse it where you want it."
history
I might try it. I tend to high pass things, then if they're soloed in a breakdown (for example) I'll bypass the EQ completely. :)
Butter it up EL-b
can 'a Ting!
El-B, re press the old Ghost garage choons like 'The Club' pleeeeeaaasse!! ;)
buy the "roots of el-b" cd off discogs
its been repressed.. theres a repress out now on DNRvinyl with a unreleased dub on the flip
Knows what he's talkin bout 👍
