Production Style:
LaShmoove has an old school production method that relies on several synthesizers, his main one being a MicroKorg, turntables, MPC 2000XL, and standard issue studio hardware all live and in sync. Most of DJ LaShmoove production relies heavily on samples, obscure and not so obscure, from cassette tapes to vinyl records. live instrumentation is also incorporated from organs to shakers and bongos. All LaShmoove productions are unique and not on the same programming as main stream radio. Lashmoove relies less on looping and more on MOODING the instrumental throughout its paces. his beats are standalone songs that tell stories with the instruments. spending the weekends crate digging for wax, and or tape cassettes to get the most unique sounds available to tell a totally new story everytime. He attributes the slow melancholy grooves to “good times”.
