Today, we are demystifying Dilla Time with what we've dubbed London's SICKEST rhythm section - bass virtuoso Rob Mullarkey and one of the most unique drummers in hip-hop and drum ’n’ bass, Richard Spaven. Mullarkey has mastered the worlds of groove and odd-time signatures on the bass guitar, but how do those skills translate when playing with a drummer? Watch Rob and Rich completely stretch and reassemble your sense of time. You’ll also get exclusive insights into Rob’s approach to beat displacement, the octave pedal he uses for his gig with Jacob Collier, and more! Plus, he’ll show you how to use your own setup to create catchy melodies in your basslines. And did we mention that we've got some exclusive performances? Yep, let's dive in! 🔥 Grab your FREE Slap Lesson → === ROB MULLARKEY “Purveyor of finest low notes”, Robin Mullarkey is best known as bassist to a generation of progressive and diverse English artists including Jacob Collier, Jordan Rakei, Zero 7, Eska, Roisin Murphy, Natalie Williams, Richard Spaven, Laura Mvula, John Newman and more recently Leon Vynehall, Anton Eger, Steve Wilson and even Quincy Jones. Robin is also known for his involvement with the UK broken beat movement, producing two ground-breaking LPs fusing his academic jazz background with the contemporary dance aesthetic in the band Brotherly. The music appealed to “muso’s” and soul loving crate diggers alike and has won him international accolades for his challenging yet approachable arrangements, incorporating woozy tempo shifts and cheeky harmonic devices. RICHARD SPAVEN As a drummer, composer or artist, Richard Spaven is one of the world’s most exciting and genre-defying. His career has seen him play for many of music’s most innovative artists both on stage and in the studio: Jose James, Flying Lotus, The Cinematic Orchestra, Guru’s Jazzmatazz, Gregory Porter to name but a few. === Video Breakdown: 0:00:00 - Introduction 0:00:56 - Track #1 - Richard Spaven - Hoodie Beats 0:02:20 - Drum & Bass Deep Dive 0:06:54 - Rich's Perspective on Bass Playing 0:12:19 - The Amen Break 0:12:52 - Rob's Rig Rundown 0:16:44 - DigiTech Whammy 0:18:27 - COG T-16 Octaver 0:19:40 - The D&B Sound 0:19:56 - Compression 0:20:48 - Line6 HX Stomp 0:22:02 - FREE Slap Lesson?! 0:23:06 - Track #2 - D'Angelo - Me And Those Dreamin' Eyes Of Mine 0:24:55 - The J Dilla Feel - Part 1 0:30:08 - Straight VS.
