Whoa I didn't even know he produced that record.. Super dope

[@alberto7621]

This is what a real producer actually is🔥

[@adence]

man, the amount of work that goes into this great production is outstanding. Must've been a bitch to mix. But seriously tho. all those producers who brag about being able to make a beat in 15 mins need to see this.

[@Renaldo868]

if you're only familiar with Hip Hop this would look complex probably. Electronic music can be "worse"

[@tenslider6722]

Tony Tana
well said

[@MoZeDtheMonkey]

ECNeeba what software/DAW is he using?

[@adence]

Zuhal Durani I have no idea, it looks like pro tools. But I have seen other videos of Dj Khalil using reason when making beats

[@JDEdwards2331]

isn't there a part 2 to the Khalil and Guru interview though?

[@mirzaboric4640]

the programmed drums with live drum fills is such a genius idea. I think alot of kids get wrapped into the fl studio and quantizing stuff and really lose a bunch of authentic feel. but like he said the programmed gave it that bump and the live gave it that groove. Genius

[@Yannickmyk]
