Allow me to introduce an exceptionally productive producer from Breda (NL), who goes by the name Coco Bryce. Some of you might remember him from sharing a vinyl slab with the likes of Slugabed. He recently released his free to download album called “At the Chopping Mall” on Myor.
When asked to deliver a brief personal statement, Coco declared:
“Uhm, dunno man, I hang around the LowRiders Collective, that kinda stuff. Oh yeah, I spin at Generation Bass and Impakt Festival.
As far as producing is concerned, believe me, I’m a tinkerer with weird ideas and sometimes a bit of luck [aren't we all, ed.].Thomas de Rijk-HALP came over to my place last week to work on a couple of remixes and he showed me some tricks on Ableton Live (r)… stood speechless… suddenly realized again how little I know about the software…
The track ["Comes to Mind", ed.] was more or less built like this: sliced up the original tune in Live, then simply **ed around with the different bits until i found something I liked. Programmed a beat and then severely compressed the chopped slices, side-chaining the compressor to the beat as to gently squeeze the slices and the beats together.
That’s pretty much all there is to it, and then of course, just tinker until it sounds good!”
