Love how he shows his process of making a piano-laden beat in such a fun and engaging way. The finger-drumming king of Steemit strikes again with this one. That piano is so rich and beautiful and the way you incorporate the drums (which we can see) is epic. Miss seeing and hearing you in the #beatbattle . Absolutely love this content that @shakazula puts out for the world to enjoy. Keep on finger-drumming o weeeee. #### Support this Steemian here: https://steemit.com/originalmusic/@shakazula/3dzxj5ee ---- #### @spawnband - "Society" ![spawnsociety.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdzbDAaVQfvYAvQHfrr3NqY2N8wHcrEuQuCuud7Pc9qUp/spawnsociety.png) Listen here: https://dsound.audio/#!/@spawnband/20180323t163924910z-spawn-society Woahhhhhhh what a cross genre hit the @spawnband has with this one. What a cross-genre hit and love how the @spawnband sets the tone of the song with those samples and the instruments they use in the first 1:10. Love how the vocals come in so strong at 1:15 and talking about such important and world events/issues. And that metal vibe around 2:20 yesssssssssss. And around 4:00 what a way to melt our faces o weeeee. Appreciate you creating this song that touches on such important points about society today. What a way to raise interest and attention to societial issues. Much love and respect for this one o weeeee. #### Support this Steemian here: https://steemit.com/dsound/@spawnband/20180323t163924910z-spawn-society ---- #### @sotirisaposta - "Chopin Revolutionary etude" https://youtu.be/EYVQcyBoWa0 Wow what a peaceful and uplifting tune from a newbie Steemian. @sotirisaposta takes us on quite a ride with his piano playing .
