The Alchemist Masterclass
The Alchemist shares his beatmaking and sampling tricks in his first-ever Masterclass.
Sampling is the key to the Alchemist’s process: get inside his eclectic approach to record collecting, finding rare sounds, and creative sampling. Explore his workflow for beatmaking, his MPC techniques, his approach on DJing, and how he understands the beat as a producer.
Discover the techniques behind some of hip-hop’s most beloved productions. Watch him analyze his own beats for artists like Nas and ScHoolboy Q and learn how he adds sonic depth to his sounds – from vocal chains and tricks when recording vocals to his preferred plugins and effects when producing within the DAW.
Get the Alchemist’s thoughts on monetizing your brand beyond selling music — think outside of the old-school business model, and take a closer look at the alternative revenue streams that made ALC Records the home of some of hip-hop’s hottest new products and vinyls.
What will I learn?
The Alchemist
A lifelong love of hip-hop
Alan Daniel Maman, better known as the Alchemist, has some deep running hip-hip roots — starting out during hip-hop’s Golden Age under the moniker Mudfoot, he was a member of The Whooliganz, and later joined DJ Muggs’ Soul Assassins collective, rising to prominence in the late 90s as a close associate of Cypress Hill, Dilated Peoples, and Mobb Deep.
Production genius
In demand for his sample-heavy, detailed and soul-infused beats, The Alchemist is the founder of ALC Records and one of the most prolific rap producers of his generation. He’s worked with hip-hop greats like Griselda rap crew, Nas, Action Bronson, Domo Genesis, Ghostface Killah, Mac Miller, Vince Staples, Earl Sweatshirt, Curren$y and Boldy James.
‘Best hip-hop-producer alive’
A humble figurehead of hip-hop production who quietly works away in his studio, you wouldn’t hear it from the man himself — but there’s no denying his accolades: Complex Magazine named him ‘2021’s Best Hip-Hop Producer Alive’ and Consequence of Sound their ‘2021 Producer of the Year’.
