Kyiv City Limits (2022 Remix) by Ammari M / S published on 2022-02-25T02:44:05Z Recent events spurred me on to this. To get around to finally remixing this sample flip of an FL Studio beat that I reluctantly released on this website back in 2016: https://soundcloud.com/ammari-ms/kiev-city-limits The main sample is based around a section from Isao Tomita's 1975 synthesizer rendition of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, that is a short section of the final movement where I pulled the name for this beat: "The Great Gates of Kiev". I imagined the modern-day "gates" of Kyiv not being fortified walls, but just the thousands of apartment blocks seen from the encircling ring road. Structure is virtually unchanged from the original beat. I have improved the mixing and ambience. The original drum breaks are still in there, but have been pushed back in the mix to make space for trap-inspired drum machine sequences, reflecting current times and vibes. Much love to Kyiv and Ukraine, and stay safe out there. Genre Hip-Hop
