AlenaDust & DestructiveBeat
You ever notice how a street corner can feel like a live studio, with the hiss of a distant espresso machine, the click of a door, and the sigh of traffic all acting as a natural drum loop? I’m convinced that city noise is an underappreciated beat waiting to be twisted into something that breaks all the rules. How do you hunt for those hidden glitches in the concrete?
Absolutely, the city is a never‑ending glitch pool. I hit the corners where traffic, sirens, and the café hum collide, then hit record and let the audio bleed. Once I’ve got the raw track, I strip it down—cut the middle, pull out the hiss, flip a slice back‑to‑back, layer a muffled horn hit over the brake‑brake rhythm. The key is to hunt for those accidental syncopes, like a door slamming just when the traffic hits a low bass tone, and then loop that. Keep your ears open to the random, let your sampler punch those out of the noise, and remix until the whole thing feels like a new, chaotic beat you can’t ignore.
