Episode 7: "The One Where I Kick My Floor Tom"

In this 7th episode, AL HUG (@_al_hug) talks about Minta Foundry’s upcoming secret plug-in. The breakdown segment focuses on how the master chain can have a major impact on the sound of a sample. We also play new music from ADULTS, a joint project by Barney Artist and Al Hug, and discuss how the MPC sampler is essentially a kids’ toy.

Episode 6: "The One Where We Start All Over"

In this 6th episode, AL HUG (@_al_hug) introduces a new format that expands beyond the usual sample breakdowns. Alongside diving into sounds and techniques, we’re opening things up to include follower questions... bringing more of your perspective directly into the conversation. We’ll also be giving you a glimpse into two upcoming (and still under wraps) releases. While we’re keeping things intentionally vague for now, expect just enough insight to spark your curiosity: one brand-new plug-in and one fresh music project that we’re genuinely excited about.

MF Breakdowns s01e04 (The One With No Grid)

In this fourth episode, Al challenges you to create a sample without a grid or fixed tempo. Using one of his samples, he shows what challenges he had to face in doing so. This late 50s, early 60s inspired Jazz sample only features three instruments, but there are still tons of things to learn from this composition. From sample to finished beat, this episode looks at the whole process.
