#188 - Missing Reflections: Sample Chopping, Production Tools, & Reuniting Through Sound

SayWhat?! and Adriance dive into the creation of their new duo project Missing Reflections, blending soul-drenched samples, golden-era hip hop, and distorted basslines. We talk sample chopping with Serato Sample, unquantized drums, max for live devices, mixing tools, and creating nostalgic, imperfect grooves.

Adriance – With recent highlights like Pretty Lights’ Yawn Dawn Silent Disco 2025 and upcoming shows with Kapatian, Adriance has racked up 25k SoundCloud plays in 4 months and dropped 15 tracks this year. He’s also launched the Missing Reflections Patreon, pushing boundaries between lofi and experimental bass.

SayWhat?! – Known for his shows, performing trumpet, and collaborations with Jason Leech, Sunsquabi members, and more, SayWhat?! dives into his live rig, production mindset, and how reuniting with Adriance sparked a more vulnerable creative approach.
