Trompie-The Beat Machine
Trompie, TheBeatmachine is a heavyweight Producer of note bred from Atteridgeville, Pretoria. He has worked with the likes of Towdeemac, KayGizm, Skillo, KT and Damola, to mention some. He has had to be patient in his journey in the industry. He went from being a rapper, a beat maker, a DJ and finally a Producer. With that experience he easily breaks down the difference between being a Producer and a beat maker “one creates a blueprint, one orchestrates the plan to the blueprint”
On the 18th of March he released an EP online titled 1990. It has done extremely well as he has been getting major props on social networks from prominent industry figures because of how it is themed out and its unique sound “from competing with the trap society or ears, coming with something purely recycled from a very good era of sound, that itself proved to be an achievement”
Even though he believes the Pretoria Hip Hop scene needs some CPR as it has a lot of “touch and gos” he has worked on numerous projects with a good number of artists and says each comes with their own state of mind and to have a good working relationship he has to get into their psyche and find a way to be on the same page with each one. “If one feels it’s easy to work with anyone then their chemistry would not last” he says
He lists Boywonder, Skillo, Towdeemac, Letswaka, Skroof Leqhipha as some of the artists to look out for from CapCity who are making big moves.
One person he gets along with is Motswakolista Towdeemac, whom he worked with on his recent project titled Lesson 1, which can be purchased by emailing (towdeemac@gmail.com). “He is my brother from another mother. He and I come from the same musical era. You can say we are cut from the same cloth. We speak in lingo. No one can get us, but us two”
He understands the importance of having an education when in the entertainment industry and says you gotta learn the skill, traits and lingo. ALWAYS be innovative.
God, his Family, his Son and goal driven people are those that inspire him. He would like to work with anyone who is goal driven like or beyond him as his ultimate objective is to be a legend, but that is after being crowned a Musical genius, something he is working on project by project. In his quest to that, today being the 18th he dropped another online project following his 1990 EP which dropped a month ago, on this day.
He is on a mission to inform and teach aspiring producers through his initiative #PRODUCERSCORNERZA. “I believe if people from all corners of the industry join PRODUCERSCORNERZA and learn and share knowledge, and then it will go beyond expectations in no time.”
“South Africa needs to realize we’ve always been trendsetters, therefore I would unfortunately say we have come conformed to other nations, leaving us not to have bettered ourselves that much.”
Trompie don’t stop working much, he has a lot of projects in the pipeline and says he is constantly busy. “I have ways of putting old and new work together to sound fresh and current. Therefore any work can pop out any moment”.
He has teamed up with Towdeemac and J Smallz to form a “super producing team” called “THE FACULTY”. Look out for that.
