Season 3 episode 2 has me talking a lot about the music of Brazil as we look at Madlib's sample of Osmar Milito and Quartete Forma's "America Latina" for the song Raid by Madvillain (MF DOOM, Madlib) and M.E.D. Happy Thanksgiving!

S2 E10 - Cos, by Dan The Automator
This week, we look at the unique style of Dan The Automator with his sampling of Cos' "Ixelles" for the trip-hop song "Sunshine" from his project with Prince Paul, Handsome Boy Modeling School. That was a mouthful. Please enjoy learning about a cool lesser-known band and a quirky record producer in this season 2 finale.

S2 E9 - Beach House, by The Weeknd
This week, we look at one of my favorite stories of the last few years of sampling, how The Weeknd producer Zodiac/Jeremy Rose helped make the career of R&B singer Abel Tesfaye, who proceeded to do nothing else like his initial release and disappoint us all. That's right, it's the House of Balloons episode, discussing the song "The Party" and its sampling of Beach House's song "Master Of None". This drama-filled episode is one of my favorites I've ever produced.

Customer Reviews
Simply the best
This is where it’s at. 2-Mello knows how to make beats, and how to entertain. You cannot go wrong with this.
This guy knows his stuff
I don't know anything about music, but Mello does. This podcast is a really fun listen, and I really enjoy the way he breaks down songs. I know the pod isn't around anymore, but I just wanted other people to know how good it is.
Simply wonderful
This show has been a life saver. I work graveyard so I’ve been binging this while doing my cleaning and whatnot. Mello presents everything in an easy to understand format, his voice is a pleasure to listen to, and I feel I’ve learned a lot about the ins/outs of producing quality tracks. Highly recommend.
