If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know this one already. For everyone else, here is "Whiskey X Cigar (Herrengedeck)", a slow, smoky boom bap beat built for late evenings.
What Herrengedeck Means
Herrengedeck is an old German bar term for a fixed drinks pairing served together, classically a beer with a shot. My version swaps that for whiskey and a cigar. The beat follows the same idea: no rush, warm keys, heavy drums, the kind of loop you leave running while the glass slowly empties.
From Instagram Snippet to Piano Love
Besides the drums, the piano is my favorite instrument and my go-to source when I dig for samples. "Whiskey X Cigar" grew out of that love, and it later became the closing track of my beat tape Piano Love, ten beats built around pianos. It sits there next to "Bad News", another beat I first shared as a snippet from the Christmas break.
The full tape is available on Bandcamp. For licenses on my current beats, head over to BeatStars.
