Lunch Break Beats #2: Ding Dong vs Reel 2 Reel (Emynd Blend)



Emynd’s Lunch Break Beats is a series of club-friendly blends, edits, or beats Emynd produced on his laptop (usually while sitting in his car on some random side street in Wilmington, D-ware just after eating his WaWa lunch) while on his lunch break at his 9 to 5.

The whole series can be found here.

LUNCH BREAK BEATS #2:

Ding Dong’s “Badman Forward” / Reel 2 Reel’s “Move It” (Emynd Blend)

Man, the best thing about Serato [besides saving my back (PAUSE)] is that you can whip something up and try it out at the club THAT NIGHT. I dropped this relatively simple, re-sequenced, & re-worked blend of Ding Dong’s “Badman Forward” on top of Reel 2 Reel’s timeless corny house anthem “Move It” at the club last night and it was by far one of the most effective things I played all night. Certainly not something for all crowds, but the Ding Dong vocals add some fresh life to this track and makes it significantly less corn-infused. I’m particularly happy with the swooping delay that leads right up to the Ding Dong vocal drop.

Like Bliz’s recent Mavado blend here this was inspired by Federation Sound’s blend of Vybz Kartel on top of “Show Me Love.”

As always, thoughts are appreciated.

LUNCH BREAK BEATS #1:

Elephant Man “Egyptian Dance” / Madonna & Timbaland “4 Minutes” (Emynd Blend)

This is the first of many tracks I will be posting over the next several weeks and months of useful club joints that I produced while on my lunch break at work (9 to 5 DJs/Producers, please stand up!). The first of these tracks is this dancehall version of Madonna, JT, and Timbaland”s “4 Minutes.” I love the beat and wanted to make something HARD out of it that I could drop at the club that wouldn’t immediately soften up the vibe. The Elephant Man acapella is pretty old (it’s from the Egyptian riddem from 2003) but I think it sounds good on this ish despite being out of key. I also threw some Fatman scoop party break ish on top of the mixable intro to keep it hype.
