We're making a mixtape under the name Flying Lotus which will be uploaded to what.cd. Songs should ideally emulate or parody his style. You have as long as you need to make these so take your time.

Tracks must be 44.1khz WAVs. You're allowed to create an already claimed song if you think you can make it sound more like FlyLo. At least one remix of one of his songs is required. Whoever takes the intro should try to make it especially decent.
To any no-fun autist that wants to report this, it will be uploaded in a manner that is not violating WCD's ToS in any way.
I think we def need another version of track 10. props to the anon that made it but I was expecting something longer that sounded more like Flilla. maybe my expectations are too high for a /mu/ album
Can I claim 1? Can deffo do some decent FlyLo
>>63598402
go ahead it's not like you need a resume to claim lol
claiming ducks
>>63598599
Unclaiming ducks, I'm not really feeling flylo
Forgot to mention that you can also include whatever samples you want and a (feat) will be added if you name the source.
If only this was a Clams Casino album
>>63599204
everything was rolled for
>>63599324
I know, dont worry
Track 1:
https://soundcloud.com/dekt-t-oid/in-afghanistan-feat-arthur-russell
Not sure if it's FlyLo enough? Also was gonna do like war sounds but thought that was too cheesy. Lemme know what you think.
>>63599524
then you should have rolled him :^)
you can still make a feat. Clams Casino
here are the previous two threads if you need to know the specifics
>>63581985
>>63570668
>>63598276
>No Thundercat feature
try harder famu
>>63599568
dude i totally was gonna use that same sample
alice coltrane is fuckin sick
>>63599568
>https://soundcloud.com/dekt-t-oid/in-afghanistan-feat-arthur-russell
not bad mang
>>63599621
i was just thinking that we need to find some funky bassplayer on /mu/ to do some riffs
>>63598276
>Cosmic Grandma
https://clyp.it/q3d0ocnq
Track 2
okay i guess i'll do this one rather than the other two, just need to smoothe out some transitions and make that bass sound less out of tune
>>63599740
dope as bro
>>63599568
definitely the best so far. not adding in war sounds was the way to go
I think it could use a more prominent lower end or a bleepy/bitcrushed synth lead. could especially work at 2:30 onwards. but it's good either way
change Auntie's Death to something less blunt NOW
working on a track guys, gonna be part piss take
can I upload to clyp it and u guys download from there somehow??
>>63600339
zippy's ideal for downloads

Claiming "Way Too Obvious"
zippy
http://www71.zippyshare.com/v/PJTGtBPq/file.html
>>63601198
or if that track is taken Ill take If "These Trucks Could Talk"
http://www71.zippyshare.com/v/PJTGtBPq/file.html
>>63601198
is this the same as the mega link? I like it. drums could maybe use more punch but that's about it
>>63601189
ehh I'd put this on the backburner for if nobody else shows up
>>63601292
yeah same as mega
>>63601198
>>63601124
already claimed Way Too Obvious
bumb
>>63601644
yeah so alternatively ill take If These Trucks Could Talk"
B U M P
>>63599568
This is impressive. I LOVE the drums! I think it should be shorter though. All of the sections are strong but drag on 10-15 seconds longer than Flylo would do em
I don't listen to much FlyLo, how do I make this more FlyLo?
https://clyp.it/fxt0g2ay
>>63604305
sounds great
the only think i could think of to make it more flylo is to slow down the bpm by 10-15 and making some of the drum hits a little offbeat
and sidechain compression, flylo loves that shit
other than that it sounds cool as it is
>>63599740
nice
>>63599568
duuuuuuuude that fuckin guitar at the end is so good
how do you get that low sounding ring? kinda sounds like a resonator
late night bump
TRACK NO. 2 Final Version
"Way Too Obvious"
https://clyp.it/kl5nqj15
http://www93.zippyshare.com/v/OkEH2OlC/file.html
i think it came out pretty good
I never wanted a Whatcd account but now I want one so bad just so I can post on their forums about your stupid epin troll lulz album xD
>>63605469
The staff are uptight cunts they'd probably ban you
I get that this is a fun project, but can someone explain the uploading to What bit? Like, what's the point of that? It's gonna be deleted in minutes.
>>63605621
what.cd has tons of shit albums, they won't do a thing
>>63605637
fakes get deleted all the time, they even have rules for some releases which get posted too often (Boards of Canada, All Lights Fucked), you need to PM the staff beforehand.
There's a bit of a difference between uploading a random Bandcamp band and uploading something as prominent as FlyLo.
>>63605653
https://what.cd/torrents.php?id=72291509
It will be uploaded as a mixtape with the novelty tag under DLB records (complete with an ISHYGDDT catalog number) with Jefferson Milkman as the remix artist and a line explicitly stating that it's a tribute album. It will also be released on bandcamp under the name Flying Lotus. What staff can't touch it because it's not breaking any rule whatsoever. That's why I'm ensuring that there won't even be a transcode to report.
May The Lord Have Mercy On Your Souls.

Be In Peace.
Which ones are not claimed?
>>63606274
Untitled, Best Already, Ducks, and Thundastruck
DPH could also use a more fitting replacement (I'll just make what we have now a demo bonus track) but only if it's 100% fire
>>63606295
Can I claim Way Too Obvious then?
>>63606320
someone already made it. it's just track 10 that could use another version (mostly because people wanted it to be a legitimate three piece epic feelsfest)
>>63606366
ok well I made a couple of tracks a while ago. Feel free to use them
http://www74.zippyshare.com/v/tH5cjZiA/file.html
http://www17.zippyshare.com/v/42QhrC7f/file.html
sleep is for the week bump
a bump before I sleep
I'll make another thread Mon. wouldn't want to shove this out the door when most anons are enjoying Easter
Seeing your feedback guys, will work on shortening slightly and might add some more low end like you said. Thanks!
any non claimed tracks? I've been trying to sound like flylo forever
>>63607472
4, 6, 7, 8. 10 if you're a pro badass
>>63607627
hold up just gon call my homie pharrell
>>63607472
>>63607627
>>63607693
well now im working on a flylo type beat. trying to emulate that LA sound
Finally done track 10
http://www75.zippyshare.com/v/aA4b0REI/file.html
>>63599740
good shit good shit
work in progress
https://clyp.it/zl0yjnsl
>>63608028
How do you isolate vocals?
>>63598599
>>63598675
>>63598750
Claiming Ducks.
Jesus reborn made me feel the flylo
So how's the overall progress so far?
>>63608028
I'm really not feeling any flylo here man.
It's just average installafriend pushing his shitty mashups into unrelated albums
>>63610024
most of the album doesn't sound like flylo man.
also newer version
http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/otyp3xbu/file.html
yeah it's shit but what can i do you have to be shit before you get good
>>63610234
you didn't even try
>>63610428
sure thing my man
>>63598276
I claim In Afghanistan
>>63610234
ay mate, do you know what dph is?
>>63610708
a deliriant. benadryl?
>>63610537
Claimed family
>>63599568
>>63610821
Well I'm still claiming it. Fuck you gonna do about it?
>>63610794
yes
in high dose a literal nightmare
>>63610024
The problem with this kind of shit is people claim shit and then rush to finish their work because they want to ensure they claim it.
Honestly, half the tracks in here are vaguely flylo sounding. Putting some jazzy lo-fi drums over some obscure samples does not make a Fly Lo track.
I was going to claim In Afghanistan, here's what I have so far. I guess I won't be putting it on the album but whatever.
here's what i started on before i realized it was already claimed..
still a work in progress. i guess i'll use it for my own project.
https://clyp.it/oz3kk31l
>>63610944
May the best track win
https://soundcloud.com/seemio/faking-lotus-4/s-nttZb
if there are any unclaimed still and you think this is flylo enough it can be used
>>63611114
yh fuck benadryl you're almost guaranteed never to have a good trip on it in my personal experience, and it just makes you feel slow and heavy and just generally shit
id just stick to my lsd and shrooms i don't fuck with deliriants
Bumb
>>63599568
Getting more of a Bonobo/trip hop vibe but that's not a bad thing at all. I like it
>>63611126
the OP says that you can technically take an already claimed track if it sounds more like FlyLo than what's already there (and yours does)
>>63610234
but it's less Flylo than what we have now
>>63607111
Easter's a worthless holiday that doesn't deserve priority over anything
>>63615420
I always get some new socks tho
>>63615396
put it as the remix of one of the songs then i'm not arsed
it is pretty shit to be honest i didn't really try
best of luck with the project nonetheless
>>63615037
Thanks man. Definitely have a lot more work to do. Once its mixed it will be a hell of a lot better. Javent even mixed or EQd it yet.
>>63607111
Why would you shove it out the door? Only like five of the tracks are even done. Why don't you just chill and allow people to actually create something instead of just rushing to throw some samples mashups together. I don't know what the point of doing this is if you're expecting people to do it in 2 days
>>63617342
Uhh that's what I just said man. The thread on Monday isn't going to be the last one, I just meant that I won't be making a new one today if this dies
>>63615420
Top wew, I'll be hiding eggs for my family with you in my thoughts
>>63617452
Oh, I thought you were implying Monday would be the last thread and we would be completing it that night. Sorry, I misunderstood homie!
>>63616217
lucky
>>63617847
No worries, I did word it in a vague way, mostly because a lot of people seem like they want it rushed with what they're putting out
>mfw this is turning from a troll album into a serious effort
I'll probably put the unused tracks on the next Milkman album
