Free Drums:"$1 Bin's Drum Ensemble Vol.1": The Rising Star Gives Back with a Free Kit which Mixes both Fun and Function

The Rising Star Gives Back to the Beatmaking Community with a Free Kit which is Equal Parts Functionality and Enjoyable Quirkiness.


With credits including Zebra Katz, Ryan Hemsworth, Hucci, Aaron Cohen, KickRaux and Phlo Finister, Harlem producer $1 Bin is getting a lot of love right now.  He's garnered the attention of outlets including Hypetrak, The Source, Mechanical Dummy, Do Androids Dance, Jenesis Magazine, Native Shoes and East Village Radio; and the international single "GN$" (featuring Hucci) was recently featured on London's 107.3 FM Reprezent Radio.

A man who clearly believes in giving love back, $1 Bin celebrates these successes by releasing his first official drum kit with Jenesis Magazine, "$1 Bin's Drum Ensemble Vol.1", for free tomorrow.  

The Ensemble has a very satisfying selection of both one-shots and loops.  As well as a rewarding variety of prerequisite kicks, snares and hats, the producer throws in some quirkier sounds to help get your creativity moving in a different direction.  The left-field samples include the 'found sounds' of hair clippers and jet engines.  Rounding off the pack, the beatmaker lets loose with audio interpretations of connecting dots and other humorous noises.

This kit would be well worth checking out even with a price tag.  Whether you are looking for some industry standard and time-honoured sounds to use as the foundation of a track; or hankering for something a little different, be sure to get rummaging in "$1 Bin's Drum Ensemble Vol.1''.

Objects In Orbit 'Panoramas'

REVIEW :  The New Beatmaker favourite changes his name, hones his craft on potential best album of 2020 Producer, Sound Engineer, Musician and Videographer Objects In Orbit has been a favourite of the site since 2013. Whilst there is not a single bad project in the catalogue of the artist formerly known as Evil Alex, he has evolved and improved almost constantly from one project to the next. He is a master of sonic suspense with many of his projects sounding perfectly at home in an art installation or art-house cinema. His trademark style mixes hip hop born sample-based techniques and 4/4 beat composition along with jazz influenced time signatures and experimentation. He often incorporates eerie, industrial stylings and at times dissonant tones.  Whilst predominantly instrumental, Objects In Orbit finely weaves into layers of musical samples either long stretches of dialogue, which make the listener feel as though they are eavesdropping on private conversation, or snip

The Theory For Our Revenge 'OBORO'

REVIEW: Japanese multimedia art duo make a great first impression with their mix of industrial, trap and operatic pop The following is a paid for review and post, via humanhuman (see below).  It is always an honour and a pleasure to receive new music to check out and review; especially  when it's as enjoyable a listening experience as this first offering from The Theory For Our Revenge is. The Theory For Our Revenge are COLD FAITH and Jhas; a Japanese music production, fashion stylist and visual art duo The Theory For Our Revenge are COLD FAITH and Jhas; a Japanese music production, fashion stylist and visual art duo. Their debut single ,'OBORO', is a slice of experimental electro-trap / operatic-art-pop. Starting with an industrial sounding chugging and churning, the track moves into frosty, haunting melodies. It's in these opening bars that the only potential hiccup occurs. Around the 0:38 and 1:12 marks there's a jagged synth whistle which i
