When most producers release beat compilations over the web, they usually go to great lengths to protect their material from unauthorized use. Sometimes using air horns, voice drops, and other clever and sometimes annoying effects to make it difficult for beat thieves to record vocals. Fortunately, Algorythm isn’t like most producers. For his new project, “First”, he’s inviting singers, MC’s and fellow producers to use the tracks and sounds on the compilation anyway they please…just as long as he’s given the proper credit.

This is the FIRST in a quarterly series of short instrumental projects that I’ll be putting out through this site as digital downloads. Each project will be approached in a different way and have a completely different direction in sound — although, this ‘First’ installment is more of an introduction to my sound. Everything is made in either Reason 3.0, 4.0 or a combination of both. I then bring the separate beats together with Cool Edit(Yes, Cool Edit; not Adobe Audition) and bounce out an mp3.

Ideally what I’d like to do with this project is to keep everything as FREE as possible, which means if you’re a vocalist, or an MC, and would like to use any of the music you hear on these projects, by all means, go right ahead. Use them on mixtapes, albums, ringtones whatever. My only small request is that you credit me whenever possible — That’s it. Also if you’re a producer, and you hear some open drums go ahead and chop’em and use them on your next track. Just don’t be a loser and try and pass any of this stuff off as your own creations. Be True.

Definitely an innovative approach. Check out the beats here.
