Give a brief description of yourself

A self-taught sampling wizard with early influences from the likes of DJ Premier, RZA, MF Doom, Pete Rock, Hi-Tek, and Havoc, Tom Delay picked up the MPC in 2003 and began developing what continues to be recognized as his signature sound. Emerging with some dusty samples and boom-bat drums in 2005, Tom Delay linked up with Brake Fast Records in the following year to provide some sharp production for the label's first compilation release, Divisions of Labour. Shortly thereafter Tom Delay began mixing and arranging live show discs for all Brake Fast Records performances throughout Baltimore, DC, NY, NJ, and Philly. Working closely with A-Class, the pair released his solo debut, Motive Response in July of 2007 with Brake Fast Records. Complete with production, mixing, and mastering by Tom Delay, the 12 track album displays an array of Tom Delay's skills, both on the MPC 4000 and behind the Digi02 board. Sampling everything from Soul and Motown to Classic Rock and a myriad of international tunes, Tom Delay's beats are masterfully chopped and flipped to the point where recognition of the original source is nearly impossible. As he continues to work with Baltimore-based artists and a tight-knit group of emcees from Brake Fast Records, Tom Delay builds on the same hip-hop formulas devised by his inspirations and predecessors.
