"The Recipe" - Instrumental
Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Dre
That West Coast synth glide meets a head-nodding breakbeat. This instrumental is pure space. It doesn't tell you what to do; it provides a luxurious, sun-drenched highway for your grooves. The tempo is a sweet spot—not too fast, not too slow—perfect for intricate footwork and smooth, confident isolations. It’s a vibe that encourages style over speed.
"Scenario" (Remix Instrumental)
A Tribe Called Quest, Leaders of the New School
Controlled chaos. The bouncing bassline and frantic, jazz-inflected horns create a playground for explosive energy. This is for when you need to switch gears on a dime. Hit the staccato hits with sharp pops and locks, then ride the horn loops with fluid waves. A track that rewards musicality and unpredictability.
"The London" - Trap Refix
Young Thug, J. Cole, Travis Scott (Slowed & Reverbed)
Modern trap, deconstructed. When slowed and drenched in atmosphere, the 808s become tectonic plates shifting under your feet. This is for textured, slow-motion flow. Focus on body rolls, deep stretches, and milking every half-time kick. The haunting melodies create a dramatic, almost cinematic backdrop for expressive, emotional movement.
"Shook Ones, Pt. II" - Isolated Drums
Mobb Deep
The raw skeleton of hip-hop. Stripped of the haunting piano loop, you're left with one of the most iconic drum breaks ever recorded. This is a purity test for your rhythm. It's gritty, direct, and uncompromising. Your movement needs to be intentional, hitting the snare cracks and ghost notes with precision. It’s about fundamentals and raw power.
"Where Will I Go?" (Instrumental)
KAYTRANADA, River Tiber
Future-funk with a hypnotic pulse. KAYTRANADA's production is a masterclass in syncopated grooves. The beat skips and hops in the most delightful way, forcing you off your usual grid. This track inspires playful, off-kilter footwork and isolated hits that play with the unexpected gaps. It’s joyful, innovative, and impossible to stand still to.
