Lista di produttori (con relative interviste) che hanno usato la drumachine sampler E-MU SP-1200:

Notable Users

Ski - Hip Hop Producer Produced for artists such as Jay-Z,Camp Lo etc.

The strength of the SP was definitely the way the 12-bit sounded when you threw the sample or the snare or the kick in there—it just sounded so dirty. It was a definite, definite fucking plus with the machine. The limited sampling time made you become more creative. That's how a lot of producers learned how to chop the samples: We didn't have no time, so we had to figure out ways to stretch the sounds and make it all mesh together. We basically made musical collages just by chopping little bits and notes.Ski- People said they never saw anyone work the SP as fast as me and Large Professor— not that it means anything. It's crazy. I can't explain it—it's like the shit is programmed in my brain. I worked with Jay-Z and did all of Reasonable Doubt on the SP-1200. For "Dead Presidents," everything was made on the SP, man: the whole sequence, the drum sounds, the Nas sample. The only thing that wasn't done on the SP was the sample, [but] I ran it through it to give it that sound.

Hank Shocklee - (Producer for Public Enemy)

There's little tricks that were developed on it. For example, you got 12 seconds [10.07, according to the manufacturer] of sample time to divide amongst eight pads. So depending on how much you use on each pad, you decrease the amount of sample time that you have. You take a 33 1/3 record and play it on 45, and you cheat the system. [Another] aspect that we created is out of a mistake—one day I was playing "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" and it came out real muffled. I couldn't hear any of the high-end part of it. I found out that if you put the phono or quarter-inch jack halfway in, it filters the high frequency. Now I just got the bass part of the sample. I was like, "Oh, shit, this is the craziest thing on the planet!"Hank Shocklee They've mastered the computer to the point it does things the SP-1200 can't do. [But] we would have better records today if people said, "Look, you've got five hours to make a record." The problem is that people got all day. They got all week. They got all month. They got all year. So thus, you in there second-guessing yourself. With the 1200, you can't second-guess yourself, man. You got 2.5 seconds a pad, man. . . . Till this day, nobody has understood and created a machine that can best it.

Lord Finesse - East Coast Rapper/ Producer member of East Coast Hip Hop group DITC

They had me as a special guest on Stretch and Bobbito, one of the popular radio shows of the '90s. I thought it would be slick if I brought my 1200 down. A lot of producers did total beats with their 1200, and I think I did two or three, and one specifically was when I chopped up Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On." I chopped all around his voice using the 1200 and put an instrumental in the back. I played it over the air, and me and KRS-One freestyled over it. It was real slick.

Pete Rock

Everything that you ever heard from me back in the day was the SP-1200. That machine made "Reminisce" "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)", "Straighten It Out," "Shut 'Em Down," "Jump Around." When I made "Reminisce"—I had friend of mine that passed away, and it was a shock to the community. I was kind of depressed when I made it. And to this day, I can't believe I made it through, the way I was feeling. I guess it was for my boy. When I found the record by Tom Scott, basically I just heard something incredible that touched me and made me cry. It had such a beautiful bassline, and I started with that first. I found some other sounds and then heard some sax in there and used that. Next thing you know, I have a beautiful beat made. When I mixed the song down, I had Charlie Brown from Leaders of the New School in the session with me, and we all just started crying. An End of an Era. I used the MPC [a technologically superior sampler line first introduced in 1988] on Soul Survivor II. That was kind of the beginning of using it. I thought it had a thinner sound than the SP, but it had way more sample time—like three minutes. So, can't beat that. I got hundreds of beats on the SP-1200, but I like the MPC. I'm really starting to get in the midst of it now.--Geographic1 (talk) 03:35, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

BENGA (UK) @ MUV festival (Firenze) 4.6.2008

cover art dell'lp di Benga "Diary of an afro warrior" Tempa 2008

Domani sera, mercoledì 4 Giugno 2008, allo sferisterio del tamburello in via del fosso macinante 9 (vicino al Central park) al Parco delle Cascine a Firenze nell'ambito del MUV festival si esibirà Benga - giovane (21 anni) autore di Croydon (periferia di Londra) che stampa per l'etichetta Tempa - in un dj set alle ore 1.00 di notte (ingresso libero). Consiglio di non perdere questo eveno a tutti gli appassionati del genere dubstep. Pur essendo molto giovane questo autore ha già pubblicato varie cose con diverse etichette e collabora con Skream, altro giovane luminare della scena dubstep.

fonte: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benga_%28artist%29

Benga is a dubstep music producer from Coulsdon, and is part of the Big Apple Records label. He has been described as an important name in the development of the dubstep style for his fusion of the already existing South London dubstep sound with the newer East London born grime sound,^[1] and was also one of the first dubstep producers when the style was emerging in the early 2000s.^[2] He has been featured on a variety of compilations including Mary Anne Hobbs's The Warrior Dubz, Tempa's The Roots of Dubstep and the BBC 1Xtra anniversary mix.

Benga released the cross-over anthem Night with DMZ's Coki in early 2008, followed by his second album, Diary of an Afro Warrior, both on Tempa. Resident Advisor described it as "one of the most anticipated LPs in dubstep yet."^[3]
