Sample a Drummer-Producer Who Gets Compared to Roy Ayers, Count Basie & the Native Tongues
Drummer-producer Pat van Dyke has a knack for all things analog. Whether he's producing his 'Dusty Breaks' drum packs or all-new compositions on the Fender Rhodes, his sound is always clearly informed by golden-era hip-hop while moving with ease between 70s funk, warm soul, and jazz-influenced brass licks.

"Van Dyke doesn't make beats, exactly. But he does favor repetitive, mid-tempo jazz that often resembles the Native Tongues beats of the 1990s."
—Pitchfork ('Hello, Summer' Review: 7.2/10)
"The album comes to feel something like Count Basie directing a big band dedicated to lost Roy Ayers compositions; it is highly, almost restrictively controlled, but nonetheless dedicated to the funk."
—Pitchfork
"There's records that scream at you to play them... the Pat van Dyke record just yells, 'Yo, play me!'"
—Bobbito Garcia (of Stretch & Bobbito)
