I really like this song. I was working on another project but couldn’t stop listening to this piece over and over, so I decided to slow it down, and give it some neo-soul drums and groove. What I like the most about this beat is that I doubled the sample up an octave, hooked it into a sidechain compressor to give it a sort of airy presence. You can hear it solo’d in the drop at 1:35

Video Game Accessory maker and wholesaler HyperKin is creating a hand held system that plays SNES cartridges. On top of that, it features two ports for the use of real Super Nintendo controllers, a huge plus for the old school gaming fanatic. The device is known as the SupaBoy and is due for a release soon. The console features:
+ Plays all American SNES cartridges, not PAL or Japanese
+ Weighs 318g
+ 3.5 inch LCD screen
+ A/V sterio output to hook up to a television
+ Two Super Nintendo controller ports on the device to play with friends

And this guy just owns it:
