No Changing - Peter Muller

No Changing by HaroldandtheGauchos


This is one of the first hip-hop songs I've done seriously. The sample is from the first few seconds of Flamenco Sketches from the classic Miles Davis record "Kind of Blue." When I was digging for samples a few months ago, the bass and piano intro sounded like it should be from Sabzi's library, so I felt like it was time to try something. After adding a busy beat without much room for vocals, Clarke Reid and David told me to calm it down, which led to the minimal drums that are now on the track. The sample called for some melody, so I had Austin Houvener sing the hook.
