Hi! I'm Lee. Welcome to my blog. Here we talk music: news, reviews, interviews, tips, tutorials and more. I'm also working on the upcoming podcast Influenced as a guest, writer and researcher alongside music aficionado Mark Williams and friends. Watch this space! I have been a lover of music for as long as I can remember, an amateur lyricist for 25 years, a music writer for 15 years and a hobbyist musician and blogger for almost 10 years. My tastes range from jazz to house to hip hop and I love helping artists from all genres develop their sound. My music, videos, reviews and interviews have been featured in a variety of magazines and websites, including: B-Boy Tech Report Gimme That Beat Humanhuman Audio Skills Dream House Beats Where Did the Road Go Beat Tape Co-Op Push Power Promo Drum Magazine You can find my music on Bandcamp: Monkey Mind Sounds AKA LeeTNB And you can find me on Facebook: The New Beatmaker page Lee's personal page
An addictive head nodder from Chicago beatmaker Lanzo. There's a lot going on in this deceptively simple track. At first, you may notice the sense of tension in the intro and outro and the great sense of movement, as the drum bounces along under the hypnotic bass notes. Listen closer, however, touches like the perfectly placed vocal snatches, the simple but hypnotic bass notes and the lightly plucked strings are a real delight.
Update: 'Snack Bag's by itself is no longer on Lanzo's soundcloud, but it is the first song on the rather stupendous 'S O C' beat tape. Enjoy the full project above, then check out my review of the project here. Alternatively, enjoy both at the same time. For all Lanzo posts, click here.
