FORMAT/OUTLINE: King of the Beats (KOTB) is all the about love for the art of beat production and celebrates the innovative producers that drive Hip Hop culture. Students will be introduced to the idea of sourcing material for sampling, going out and investigating music (records) and the origins of looking for that perfect beat in the form of breaks.
They will then get the chance to produce an original track themselves from scratch using professional, industry-standard studio equipment. Students will also get the opportunity to film the whole process which they will then edit and make into a short film, similar to the original King Of The Beats concept.
You will not need any experience with sampling, just an open mind and a willingness to learn and try something new. However, a basic knowledge of deejaying, computers, filming and music production software will be an advantage.
COURSE TUTORS: Pritt Kalsi, ‘No-Sleep’ Nigel & Si Spex
