🎛️ Beat Review – Toni’s Groove | The Producer’s Corner #413 🎛️

Just got done breaking down Toni’s Groove’s entry for the latest Producer’s Corner Challenge — and man, this one hit different. The sample choice? Jiro Inagaki & His Soul Media’s “Funky Motion” (1975). That’s the kind of record you don’t just stumble on — you gotta dig, and when you flip it right, it turns into pure gold.

What I respect here is the discipline. Toni didn’t drown the sample in unnecessary effects or clutter. The horns stay sharp, the groove has room to breathe, and the drums knock in just the right pocket. That balance is what separates a good beat from a great one.

As a producer myself, I can tell you this is the kind of flip that makes you want to open your DAW and start cooking. It’s got that mix of nostalgia and freshness that makes heads nod without even trying.

This is exactly why I started vlogging beat reviews — to spotlight creators who remind us that digging in the crates and flipping records is an artform. Big salute to Toni’s Groove for showing out on challenge #413.

For those of you in the Cardiff area today, Gwdihw is hosting Beatreviews first microfestival. They are managing to have two stages (one inside, one outside) which you know is an achievement if you have been to Gwhihw, lovely place, quite small.

Anyway what better way to spend you bank holiday monday than checking out some bands and acoustic acts you have probably never seen before and enjoying some lovely beers in a great place.
