808s & Sade Vol 1: Diamond Life

This album is my tribute to one of my all-time favourite bands, 'Sade'. I thought I'd start 2014 off by attempting to up my production skills and work rate by releasing a song a day from January 1st to January 9th. So I decided to remix each track from Sade's 'Diamond Life' (1984) using samples from a Roland TR-808 and a few tweaks and instruments of my own. What I came up with was a collection of remixes that showcases a variety of beat music styles we hear today. The album is heavily influenced by the Soulection crew. If you haven't heard of em, stop sleeping on em and check out their music at soulection.bandcamp.com. This is a free album, but if you like what you hear and want to support the music, you can purchase the album at any price you see fit. credits released 11 January 2014 Produced, mixed and mastered by Ananthu Nair. This album was crafted in 9 days, with one track being made daily from Jan 1st to Jan 9th. Each track was released on Soundcloud. I do not own any of the rights to the samples used, all the rights belong to the artist, 'Sade'.
