Electronic musician / Synth Junkie / Funk enthusiast / Disc Jockey. I’m from Pittsburgh, not Philly. :) AI IS TRASH.
This iPad x MPC combo is crazy!
Nerd alert 🚨 lol..I chopped these drums off a 45, laid em out in Koala Sampler, sent em through my Moog Mother 32 and then into the Boss SP-303, and finally into the MPC3000 where I sequenced everything (except the synth lead). There’s an additional instance of Koala with the sample chops, that was also sequenced on the 3G. I love the process so much and sometimes I learn some things along the way. Yeah, I totally lost track of time doing this 🤣 #mpc3000 #koalasampler #iPadMini7

13 minutes and 5 seconds of straight up FUNK. Nice 1982 Canadian press 12” single that plays at 45rpm and stretches out to mere millimeters away from the actual label. Great picture sleeve that relates closely to the Gap Band IV LP from where this song originates in a much shorter form. I love when records are made like this. #TheGAPBand #1982 #FUNK

First time in Pittsburgh 🖤💛
A @macmiller inspired pilgrimage 🕊️ I brought my Mom with me for the significance of the moment (cc @_karenmeyers 🙏🏽) To share the vivid stories, memories, experiences that I had as a high school student working w Mac Miller via @innerviewq @sethzaplin @benjybenjy @rostrumrecords. The influences. Taylor Allerdice (Taylor Gang!) @taylorgang Blue Slide Park 🛝 Frick Park Market @frickparkmarketofficial (where we found and purchased an incredible Starry Night inspired oil painting by Ron Fuchs!). Point Breeze. Frick Park. I needed this visit. Walk the neighborhood. Embrace the energy of a City that has influenced/inspired me so much in my High School days at Brighton High School. Beginning with @wizkhalifa and “Say Yeah,” I never would’ve thought back then that this city would become an integral lifeline. It means the world to me to manufacture our single locally in Pittsburgh with @hellbendervinyl. Shout out @buscrates 🫡 Thank you City of Pittsburgh for your wonderful hospitality @hellbendervinyl @frickparkmarketofficial @nfldraft @steelers @pittsburghpirates see you soon!

🎶 Turn It Upstream Artist Spotlight: Buscrates
A musician, DJ and producer, @buscrates has been making music in some form since practically before he could walk and started rocking parties behind the decks since he was in single digits. His journey, initially inspired early on by the music emanating from his father’s sound system, has grown to encompass many experiences as he has honed the two major poles of his musical inspiration: classic boom-bap hip-hop and the endlessly colorful world of synth-crazy post-disco boogie-funk. Both of these strains are heavily informed by his notorious record collection.
Crates’ new material is a natural progression from the sounds he has devised over the years, achieving a new level of ready-for-prime-time sophistication that manages to surpass even his previous efforts. It reflects the increasingly global perspective that has come with the increased time on the road he has experienced as demand for his unique and distinctive approach to sound and groove construction grows, not to mention the confidence that has come as a result of his interactions and collaborations with such notable figures as home-state hero DJ Jazzy Jeff, Dâm-Funk, Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.

Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
