Instrumental Songs by Nik Furious

Nik Furious: Piece of Cake: Ooo Baby

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

This is an experimental beat -- part re-imagining of the original and part remix.

Personally, I think the re-imagined part is hot. It's got great energy and mood. As for the "remixed" section, well it's definitely funny. It's got that going for it.

This beat includes the entire one-sided cell phone conversation from the original, so fill in your side of the phone call while you listen. I promise you'll have fun.

Nik Furious: Piece of Cake: No One Else

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

This beat is a pretty straight forward remix of a certain modern soul track that I happen to love.

The structure is pretty straight forward too. The "no one else can touch my..." line acts as the hook and the strictly instrumental sections are verses.

When I started building beats, I was making them as backing tracks for rap songs. It wasn't until friends of mine started listening to the instrumental versions more than the rap songs that I realized the instrumentals were really a draw of their own. So that's why a lot of my stuff is built with an alternating verse/chorus structure like this one.

Nik Furious: Piece of Cake: Legal Green

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

I love this beat! Can anyone guess which superhero it's a tribute to? (It's pretty damn easy if you think about it for a second, and NO it's not a tribute to the legalization of marijuana, but you can believe that if it makes you happy.) 

This song is probably the most disco-ish beat in my catalog, which, honestly makes me proud. I grew up jamming to disco music and I learned a lot from the way instruments were layered by disco music producers.

The voice in this song is saying something... I think in the original song, the guy is singing "That's jealously!" But I prefer to hear him saying "That's what I say!" 1) Because it makes no sense in context because this is an instrumental and he's not saying anything. And 2) because I think that phrase has a nice ring to it.
