DJ Dahi does his thing on another level, crafting beats for such giants as Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West and Dr. Dre. So it's appropriate that Dahi's second appearance on Rhythm Roulette be anything but ordinary. This time around we made two important innovations to our standard operating procedure.
First of all, instead of a regular old record store, the Grammy-nominated Los Angeles-based producer came out to NYC and went digging through cardboard boxes in the back of a van stuffed full of treats by rare groove vendor Gene Brown. In case you were unaware, Brown is a North Carolina-based MC/producer who specializes in serving up sample fodder to production gods like Pete Rock and the aforementioned Mr. West. Digging in his crates is like looking for gold at Fort Knox.
In this case Dahi slipped on a blindfold and came up with a gospel record by the Midwestern District Choir, Greg Perry's 1977 funk/soul classic Smokin', and what Mr. Brown described as an "extremely rare Brazilian joint."
"Let's go make some beats!" said Dahi, clutching the vinyl in his hands.
This second major advantage in this action-packed episode is that Dahi got the chance to work with a brand new Serato software plug-in called Sample that integrates with Serato's O.G. production software, Pitch 'n Time. As the name suggests, Sample allows users to chop samples and manipulate them freely. BPMs can be adjusted to the utmost extreme without any loss of audio quality. A highly intuitive interface allowed Dahi to quickly find, chop, key-shift, and time-stretch samples.
"There's some really dope features," said Dahi. "We're just going to experiment and try to find some cool stuff and see if we can come up with some gems." Check out the fruits of his labor in the video up top.

If you don't know him yet, Gene Brown is basically the go-to person for producers when it comes to finding specific samples. He's been hired by Premier, Q-Tip, Kanye and many others. Picking records randomly out of his van for Rhythm Roulette is basically a walk in the park. Man's a legend. Not like we have anything to worry about when it comes to Dahi either.
What do you mean dj premier hired him ?? For what ??
MrStaano To find samples
I never heard of premier or other great producers like pete rock etc... hire people to do their digging.
They do. You would have to, had been in/around the industry at the time to know this. A lot of stuff has occurred in hip hop that hasn't hit the internet.
True. Anything before like...2005 really is shrouded in mystery.
That "super rare brazilian joint" is Secos e Molhados, a legendary proto-brazilian rock band from the 70s.The album sampled is "A Volta de Secos & Molhados" made in 1977.
you are a freakin DON... thank you
Matheus Resende THANK YOU 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Matheus Resende not all heroes wear capes 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Cheers! Came to the comments looking for this.
A year later, and I love you. Thank you.
Dahi is so criminally slept on
how? he produces some of the hottest songs out. I feel like anyone who cares remotely bout producing knows this guy.
bmck3nney maybe but when I get into talks about producers and musical influences he rarely comes up. He's a name not many know but students of the game know.
agreed, his name never even comes up when talking people like kanye, 9th wonder, madlib, but should more. dude is a legend
his name doesnt come up because he's a young nigga but real heads keeps Dahi's name in the mix
bmck3nney it depends on your influences etc. For example I’ve heard his name and know of some of his records but just informed myself even more today hence me watching the video. But this man’s a beast. From Kendrick to Rihanna childish etc due vrazy
one of the most talented producer in hiphop right now.
...and one of the most creative. Dacoury is on fire!
agreed
this was fire right?! I knew that first one was special would love to hear a more final instrumental
of course. aspesially with loop drums pffff
bro he literally went thru 6 or 7 ways to flip that 2nd sample till he felt comfortable... and all were bangers... My God he's gifted...
that's just what you do when you have a sample loaded up with your favorite control at the helm.. you've never done this before - it's not special it's rather easy - as DJ Mark the 45 King would say.. it's just luck to even be noticed in this scene.
5:39 "you keepin' that piano sound?"
"you gonna sit by me the whole time and backseat produce?"
vst name ?
como se llama ese vst ?
samuel chirinos Serato Sample
me refería al piano del minuto 5:34
so funny how Gene Brown disappeared in the video after he started asking questions... haha ;)
I smell a hater lmao
Drug Dealers Anonymous is a God Level beat!
Ray Orchestra GOD TIER!!!!
best series on youtube
When he looks up in frustration @4:24 I felt that 😭 Thought I was The only one. You start to see these videos and realize you aren’t the only producer that goes through certain motions 😂😂
All the time lol
even tho this was mostly promotion for serato it was still a good episode. his creative process is tight
Mass Appeal, you need to get three or something producers to sample the same 3 records and then get them to show what they have at the end.... And get MF Doom on here already
i like that
Someone shared the same idea on the 9th wonder rhythm roulette. They seriously need to do this
Wow this idea is Gold! Get on this mass !
doom just loops shit
linda walters lmao I agree. I bet they already have the episode they just bs dropping it or mf doesn’t want his secrets reveled.
You guys should do a vinyl collection with all the songs made from Rhythm Roulette! Would totally buy.
word up! This needs to happen
yoooo smart!
Even a spotify playlist would be dope
The mission to clear that enire project would be crazy tho
if they got biz markie to sign them they could have had a big party
Every track this man produces is complete fire, how is he not more recognized.
it sounded rather robotic clashing key even
I love comin in from work and seeing new rhythm roulette!!
Ill take dahi over metro any day
Ray Swank easy
Ray Swank honestly same fam
Nice cool
2 completely different styles of producing. I'll take them BOTH. Metro is just as dope
@@miltchamberlain6218 but you can have preference thou
He feels this. Great session here you've captured.
I didn't think this was going to turn out to be anything more than a Serato pitch for 15 minutes. Turned out to be excellent. 👍🏼
Yeah not bad but I did want to know why they chose that particular piece of software - as it doesn't appear to be anything special and he seemed to be a bit stumped at first there was a big edit from him staring at the screen like 'what do I do now'..maybe that was the first day he used it.
oh man I am so glad mass appeal called DJ Dahi back for seconds! His talent level is unparalleled!!
Motivation and Inspiration . That man drums go crazy ! Opened my DAW while watching
So much creativity in this guys mind, can really feel it flowing through his work.
Ableton Gang
Everybody's Homie ayyyyyyyy
Mpcx flexing!
Blessings! #ganggang
You know it bru
Everybody's Homie YERRRRR
Super talented guy. Wish he continued on the beat at 10:00
Such a great picture of building something new out of givin samples! Love the depth in wich all sounds fit and the complete workover of each.
I'm all for getting new producers on this series but multiple episodes from previously featured producers is just fine with me as well. I'll never get tired of this series
Hands down the best producer of this generation
Estou assistindo aqui do Brasil, foi uma surpresa e tanto quando começou a tocar Rosa de Hiroshima do Ney Matogrosso. Nessas horas sempre me vem a confirmação do quão vasto é o nosso berço cultural, e o quão respeita é nossa música lá fora. Trabalho incrível, parabéns.
Much appreciated and my respects , I hope to listen very soon to any of your future projects. Be safe!
Bruh I can't get over the break loop on 11:13. Shit sounded like new Outkast! 😭
stallworthjones its from International Breaks 101.
M.E.L James would you be the biggest legend in the world and send me that kit please
I got you bro, just give me your email and ill send it WAV or MP3
God Bless you man its notrwll@gmail.com
M.E.L. James My man think I can get that link too will21pr@gmail.com. I'll make you my best man at my wedding lol
damn how many beats did he made
I remember how I was tripping when I found out dahi made the beat of kendricks money trees. How do I get to this level damnit.
Your username is the answer
how he approaches samples is insane, true creator.
dahi probably my fav producer of the last couple of years. hes beats transcend what we consider hip-hop and he has sum incredible hi-hat rolls
10:11 Lawddddd! Wish he used those drums, so sick regardless tho.
He's becoming one of my favorite producers.
I want a weekly hourly podcast of this guys works...soooo fresh!
One of the best rhythm roulette I've seen. Dahi is a monster
Wow, this episode is among the best ones so far! So is DJ Dahi!! And I haven't even heard about him before... Shame.
Pontus Blom you've heard his songs jist didn't know
I'm sure has!
Such a chill vibe
He looks so happy, confident, an focus then before on camera the best we dont know yet
just when I expected him to struggle he came through with vengeance. What an incredible talent. Dope work
"Secos & Molhados" it's the name of the album n band, for the record. It's not a "rare" album, it's pretty popular and recognized as one of the best brazilian records of all time. Nice flip on that, Dahi is a huge talent.
eu ia dizer isso hahah
thanks man. this record is incredible!!!
boa man hahah
Could still be rare on vinyl!
TheTruth Maybe in the US, not here lol. I was kinda mad they doesn't even mentioned the artist when it has a lot of importance in the history of brazilian music.
At 10:00-10:05 was L I T🤯❗❗❗
DJ Dahi and Mass Appeal lets go. Some of those samples you was working with were dope
i visit this video too much. Most def my top 5 in producers. Salute
I met Gene Brown the other day. He’s a genius!
7:05 can't wait for Dahi's debut singer/songwriter album.
Waited so long for him to get on here FINALLY!
The bit of sampling, slicing, and experimenting at 3:45 was pure gold
So I've been trying to see all the different instruments/plugins/effects that Dahi's using other than Serato Sample and here's what I found so far..let me know what else I may have missed:
-Glue Compressor on Serato Sample - 4:29
-Cthulhu by Xfer midi notes being routed to Keyscape by Spectrasonics - 5:04
-Arturia CS-80 V2 - 5:35
-Trilian by Spectrasonics - 8:34
-Drum Loops from Splice - 9:33
-Also not fully sure of what it's called, but I think he just has an intstrument rack with chain selector that allows him to quickly navigate through all his drum loops - 11:03
DO NOT SLEEP ON THE CS80
The version at 10:10 would have been perfect for any down south rapper lol
That shit was so fire.
G Weekes Big Krit on this would be fire
Man he slid thru some bumpin ass drum loops on that second one. Lolol! Coulda went so many different ways!! Damn, now I’m ready to create! Dahi is a monster. Salute!
Hats off. Super creative and very AWESOME.
Hands down my favorite new generation producer, he reminds me of timbaland not in style but maybe kinda in ideology, they always make something different every fucking time, its like everytime they make a beat they never reuse anything that sounds similar to what they made before, its like back to the scratch board start from scratch every single time.
I really wish we could hear what he'd have to say on his own beats, cause they FIRE
He felt it
I enjoy the passion from the producers on these joints!
How am I just seeing this?! DJ Dahi is one of my Favorite producers
That beat at the beginning is nasty. 🔥💯
what is it?!
@@strengthandlove_ Drug Dealers Anonymous-Pusha T
Get Madlib on here though
I feel like Madlib would never do something like this. The man doesn't even like being interviewed
Facts, would still be insightful as hell
Puff Tuff nah they're still around bro
D'andre Legrand Da Beat Konducta
Dopest roulette i've seen in a while!!

7:18 is a hit!!! No debating!!!
Joshua Davis I hear Kendrick on it
His skin shines like gold
My man dropped some heat. That last beat was the truth. Dope ass records.
This dude has a good ear. 🔥👌🏽
watching him try find the perfect vibe w the drums at the end was so hypnotic goddamn dahi is a god
Incredible work!
Dahi a dope producer... Thats probably the best beat I have heard so far
Get Key Wane on this please!!!!
Aj Lewis yes that woudl be amazing
For real man but he would get mad if he couldn’t flip what he chose
WHY DIDN'T HE USE THE JOINT AT 9:26 - 9:32 SMH
Marc Miller-Nelson he did, he just flipped it incredibly
I mean, as the final beat...
Marc Miller-Nelson yeh that was slapping
I completely agree. That shit was fire!! But he still killed it, imo. Dude is highly skilled.
Naw fam the one at 10:26-10:32 was the one. I need this drum loop pack cuz I'll flip the hell out that break!! Mannn!!!
ONE OF MY FAVORITE PRODUCERS!!!
Had the privalegde of meeting gene brown in atl. Real knowledge and humble dood.
Dahi back again!
Dude looks exactly like Ricky Williams.
websocray a mix of ricky williams and prince amukamara
🎯😂
dropped fire every time way off the top like he's amazing. I must study his ways!!!
9:26 love that groove
I need that drum loop pack 👀
dub! You don't deserve it.
Hervé ATSAMA ok? 😂
Yes indeed PLEASE!!!
FACTS
Fr
I woulda flipped that gospel sample tho 🔥
I was thinking the same thing, shit is fire just takes a little time.
Gospel samples will never get old to me. It does something to the soul
This man is a genius. Seeing Dahi I already knew what was gonna go on here
this serato sampler is so awesome I had the privalage of being in the beta testin.. love this and will be buying it...
7:38 this part was hard af
I have to find the instrumental for that first beat. My god.. this is my favorite Rhythm Roulette by far.
But i have a question..
How is he able to switch through drums like that? Is it like loops? & If it is, do producers just sample drums from vinyls or download them?

The beat is from "drug dealers anonymous "
no from the first beat he made on here lol.
justin man Which Dahi produced as well.

Wish he would have done something with 9:26
musica brasileira representando ahahaha , massa
i need that!, DJ Dahi top 5 right now to me
Nice Serato edition . Just copped Serato Sample ..I know ..better late then never :)
It's funny how Dahi is a legend and nobody seems to notice. Look up his track record. All very cutting edge, artistic music.
10:05-10:18 straight 🔥🔥🔥
DJ Dahi makes some of the freshest beats out. Tetsuo & Youth is full of em.
so rad. especially at the end
9:59-10:05 should’ve been the final beat
Brasil Brasil

I have no idea who this dude is but this is one of the best ones.
