It's July 7th 2005, and it's a typically busy morning on London's underground. It's like any other day. But then, simultaneously, three trains and a double decker bus explode. Smoke fills the carriages, and panic and devastation takes over London. Detective Gary Powell was sitting at his desk when he heard what we now know as the 7/7 terrorist attacks. Gary sits down with host Brent Sanders to talk about this case, and others from his time in the counter terrorism unit of the UK police. This content contains references to suicide.

Lollise is a Botswana born, Brooklyn based singer, songwriter, and multidisciplinary artist. After cutting her teeth recording and touring with the FELA! band and Underground System, she has brought her song writing efforts to the forefront with her debut LP, I Hit The Water, out September 6 via Switch Hit Records. Lollise shares the story behind the new record, why it plays tribute to her family's journey and how it keeps her connection with Botswana. She tells us how the lead single, eDube, is both a message to her deceased father and honors her mother's experience with his passing. We learn how intuition guides her writing process, how collaboration played a role on the new record and why she does NOT like playing her song Birthday. Joe and Lollise bond on the power of rehearsal, the beauty of the shekere, their fixation with vintage fashion and we hear a couple tunes.

A philosophical debate breaks out in host Chuck Da Fonk's home regarding whether one can have as much fun in their later years as they did in their university / college / 20s years. Chuck believes its a moot discussion - there's always time out for fun, unhinged and free of responsibilities. For this episode, he expresses that very sentiment by spinning plenty of "fun" titled cuts by George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Con Funk Shun, The Isley Brothers, Brick, Devo, and many others. The third hour of this show is burning up with hot, brand new jams by Underground System, The Illustrious Blacks, Carlos Méndez, Meshell Ndegeocello, Woolfy and more. Plus, a special spotlight on the freshest output from Balearic gurus, Payfone.

EVERYTHING I’VE HEARD Present FSQ as 3rd guest mix FSQ is a 6 person production team and DJ unit, devoted to the enjoyment of warm summers and the sounds that align with such strong solar vibes. This one hour and twelve minute mix by Funk Style Quality aka FSQ is just long enough to get you from Bologna to Marina Di Ravenna beach by car. We selected these tunes specifically to put us in the mindset of such a quick Italian auto jaunt to the Adriatic sea. Some of the jams in the mix are from FSQ's upcoming album with Soul Clap Records, titled "Reprise Tonight" plus Wolf+Lamb's Jack Priest offers a new remix of our latest FSQ production, "I Zimbra" a Talking Heads cover featuring Dolette McDonald. FSQ's "Bologona to Marina Di Ravenna" mix features summer stunners by our Soul Clap Records label mates Underground System, and we have a new Caribbean disco inspired FSQ remix for our label boss, Mr Lonely C of Soul Clap. Fresh cinematic instrumentals by the likes of Dan Only, Xinobi, Luces, G Mawkus, Franc Spangler, Christian Martin and more power the majority of this mix which is more like a film soundtrack than a live club set. Sit back with a fresh ear, listen close to FSQ's "Bologna to Marina Di Ravenna" mix and feel the lust we have for the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Italian summers as expressed through brilliant sounds.

A great bass line is not only the music's foundation, it's also what gets the party started! But, it takes a very repetitive rhythm to get people moving. So in this video, you'll learn a magic hack for writing bass lines that move people, without boring them. But first… A quick announcement. Our Black Friday sale is pumping all weekend long (23-26 November 2018), so head on over to our Online Course page and our Books + PDFs page to grab 40% off everything - yes, all our PDFs, our book “Hack Music Theory, Part 1”, and our bestseller, the online Apprenticeship course, which has been called “life-changing” numerous times! So, are you ready to take your music to new heights? Then get involved now. But first… tea! Hello revolutionaries, we are Kate Harmony and Ray Harmony (AKA Revolution Harmony), and welcome to Hack Music Theory. We help you make great music that stands out, so you can get discovered! If that sounds useful to you, then subscribe to our YouTube channel and hit that bell to get notified every Saturday, when we publish our new video. Alright, it's time to open your DAW to hack music theory. THEORYIn Karma Fields' new track “An Underground System of Forgotten Machines” that just dropped yesterday, the bass line gets your head bobbing before the end of bar one, literally. How? Well, he uses a very clever hack that allows him to deliver the maximum dose of repetition, because the variation is disguised as repetition. Wait, what? Let me explain. He uses the shortest possible rhythmic segment (two notes), which he then repeats over two bars. Next, he assigns three pitches to this rhythm. Now, here's where the magic happens. Most other producers would simply loop this two-bar bass line and call it a day, but not Karma Fields! He loops only the rhythm, then re-assigns the same pitches, but in a different order. Boom! Step 1 - RepetitionSet up four bars of 4/4, with your grid set to 1/16 notes, and your tempo set to 97 BPM. Karma Fields uses the notes D♯, E and F for his main bass line. So we're gonna do something similar, but a little different: we'll use F as our root note, and Phrygian as our mode. And on that note (or mode), if you need help understanding the modes, then check out the modes hack in our Songwriting & Producing PDF (click & scroll down), which contains all our top music making hacks as well! But if you need help with the basics first, then read our free book on scales and chords (free download below). Alright, so start by creating a short rhythmic segment, using one 1/8 note and one 1/16 note, in whichever order you want. Next, loop those two notes over bar one. You'll be left with a 1/16 note open at the end, and that's where you throw in a couple 1/8 notes to change things up a bit as you head into bar two. This also creates an awesome syncopation, as you don't play the 1st beat of bar two. Then, continue looping your original two-note rhythmic segment over bar two. And once again you'll be left with a 1/16 note open at the end, but this time, draw in a 1/16 note there. And that concludes your two-bar rhythm, so you can now loop it over bars three and four. Step 2 - MagicRight, now you're gonna assign three pitches to your rhythm. Let's use the root note (F), the ♭2 (G♭), and the ♭7 (E♭). And here's how you're gonna create your contour: start on the root, then go up, then go back to the root, and then go down. And to make it even more interesting, play the highest and lowest notes twice every time you get to them. So in other words, you're gonna start with one F, then go up to two G♭s, then back down to one F, and then down to two E♭s. Keep this pattern going for the whole two-bar rhythm. And that is your first bass line. Now, here's where the magic drops. In bars three and four, you're gonna turn that contour upside down. So, you're gonna start with one F, then go down to two E♭s, then back up to one F, and then up to two G♭s. Keep this pattern going for the whole two-bar rhythm. And that is your second bass line. Now, let's keep this between the three of us, but here's how this magic trick works. Your listeners will perceive these two bass lines as being the same, because of their shared rhythm and pitches. However, their different contours will prevent them from getting boring. Boom! NEXTRight, now that you've got one section down, how do you write more sections for it, and then, how do you transition between those sections, and turn 'em into a song? Great questions, and if this is something you need help with, then check out our cutting-edge online apprenticeship course, where you'll literally learn every step of the music making process, and most importantly, you'll learn how to finish your songs! You'll also gain access to our Private Network, which is a safe online space (i.e. social media platform) exclusively for our 400+ apprentices from 40+ countries. Our Network is a super supportive place for you to ask theory questions, share your music, get feedback, meet like-minded music makers, and collaborate!

A great bass line is not only the music’s foundation, it’s also what gets the party started! But, it takes a very repetitive rhythm to get people moving. So in this video, you’ll learn a magic hack for writing bass lines that move people, without boring them. But first… A quick announcement. Our Black Friday sale is pumping all weekend long (23-26 November 2018), so head on over to our Online Course page and our Books + PDFs page to grab 40% off everything - yes, all our PDFs, our book “Hack Music Theory, Part 1”, and our bestseller, the online Apprenticeship course, which has been called “life-changing” numerous times! So, are you ready to take your music to new heights? Then get involved now. But first… tea! Hello revolutionaries, we are Kate Harmony and Ray Harmony (AKA Revolution Harmony), and welcome to Hack Music Theory. We help you make great music that stands out, so you can get discovered! If that sounds useful to you, then subscribe to our YouTube channel and hit that bell to get notified every Saturday, when we publish our new video. Alright, it’s time to open your DAW to hack music theory. THEORYIn Karma Fields’ new track “An Underground System of Forgotten Machines” that just dropped yesterday, the bass line gets your head bobbing before the end of bar one, literally. How? Well, he uses a very clever hack that allows him to deliver the maximum dose of repetition, because the variation is disguised as repetition. Wait, what? Let me explain. He uses the shortest possible rhythmic segment (two notes), which he then repeats over two bars. Next, he assigns three pitches to this rhythm. Now, here’s where the magic happens. Most other producers would simply loop this two-bar bass line and call it a day, but not Karma Fields! He loops only the rhythm, then re-assigns the same pitches, but in a different order. Boom! Step 1 - RepetitionSet up four bars of 4/4, with your grid set to 1/16 notes, and your tempo set to 97 BPM. Karma Fields uses the notes D♯, E and F for his main bass line. So we’re gonna do something similar, but a little different: we’ll use F as our root note, and Phrygian as our mode. And on that note (or mode), if you need help understanding the modes, then check out the modes hack in our Songwriting & Producing PDF (click & scroll down), which contains all our top music making hacks as well! But if you need help with the basics first, then read our free book on scales and chords (free download below). Alright, so start by creating a short rhythmic segment, using one 1/8 note and one 1/16 note, in whichever order you want. Next, loop those two notes over bar one. You’ll be left with a 1/16 note open at the end, and that’s where you throw in a couple 1/8 notes to change things up a bit as you head into bar two. This also creates an awesome syncopation, as you don’t play the 1st beat of bar two. Then, continue looping your original two-note rhythmic segment over bar two. And once again you’ll be left with a 1/16 note open at the end, but this time, draw in a 1/16 note there. And that concludes your two-bar rhythm, so you can now loop it over bars three and four. Step 2 - MagicRight, now you’re gonna assign three pitches to your rhythm. Let’s use the root note (F), the ♭2 (G♭), and the ♭7 (E♭). And here’s how you’re gonna create your contour: start on the root, then go up, then go back to the root, and then go down. And to make it even more interesting, play the highest and lowest notes twice every time you get to them. So in other words, you’re gonna start with one F, then go up to two G♭s, then back down to one F, and then down to two E♭s. Keep this pattern going for the whole two-bar rhythm. And that is your first bass line. Now, here’s where the magic drops. In bars three and four, you’re gonna turn that contour upside down. So, you’re gonna start with one F, then go down to two E♭s, then back up to one F, and then up to two G♭s. Keep this pattern going for the whole two-bar rhythm. And that is your second bass line. Now, let’s keep this between the three of us, but here’s how this magic trick works. Your listeners will perceive these two bass lines as being the same, because of their shared rhythm and pitches. However, their different contours will prevent them from getting boring. Boom! NEXTRight, now that you’ve got one section down, how do you write more sections for it, and then, how do you transition between those sections, and turn 'em into a song? Great questions, and if this is something you need help with, then check out our cutting-edge online apprenticeship course, where you’ll literally learn every step of the music making process, and most importantly, you’ll learn how to finish your songs! You’ll also gain access to our Private Network, which is a safe online space (i.e. social media platform) exclusively for our 400+ apprentices from 40+ countries. Our Network is a super supportive place for you to ask theory questions, share your music, get feedback, meet like-minded music makers, and collaborate!

It's election night in America, do you know where you votes are? Honestly, Simon and I have found ourselves suckered into bloviating political commentary before and I've somewhat concluded that it makes for our worst radio — who the fuck are we, anyway? And all the more during such a demonically awful time, in an election that could realistically only be a step forward, not a do-over, we kinda felt we'd keep that on the down-low. So, there're some songs, we're not ignoring it, and we absolutely reel of a series of terms in reference to Ted Cruz, because fuck him. But mostly, this weeks show is here to take some respite in music, so I hope you enjoy it for that. — Ben.This week, Simon's away of course, so Fiona returns to the airwaves with some great picks.

Bob’s won 3 Grammy’s as one of the guitarists in Snarky Puppy. He’s also an in demand NYC session guitarist performing and recording with many artists including Bokanté, Michelle Willis, Cory Henry, Ghost-Note (Robert “Sput” Searight/Nate Werth), Lucy Woodward, Musiq Soulchild, Bilal, Banda Magda, Underground System, Jerry Granelli, Robben Ford, and others Bob explains how NOT getting into the colleges he wanted to attend, turned out to literally be the best thing that happened to him, musically… changing his motivation to succeed from “fear of something,” to a “love of something”... jamming with Joe Walsh & Bobby McFerrin… pizza, bagels, tomato sauce, trusting you can do something, and more.
