All Around EP

BITSKY Collaboration

So excited to present the first single off my forthcoming EP "Astronomical". This tune Singularity features my good friend and guitar played Matt McLaren. A Singularity is best exemplified by a black hole. At the center of a black hole, space-time becomes a one-dimensional point which contains a huge mass. As a result, gravity become infinite and space-time curves infinitely, and the laws of physics as we know them cease to function.

The 3rd track off my EP "Astrnomical"...Star Stuff is a journey through the cosmos.

Star Stuff (ft. Matt McLaren)

Phish meets Biggie, Crazy Town and a whole lot of Electro-Soul flavor.

Out Of Focus

Ease That Stress

I am so honored to finally release this. For the last year or so I have bugged @marvelyears to send me stems to one of his tracks off "Voyage Ahead" and when I finally got them I couldn't hold back. 

So with out further ado he is my remix of Lean With It!

Marvel Years - Lean With It (Father Figure Remix)

What A Day

Here is the first single off our forthcoming EP, "Far From Home". This one is a collaboration with our homie metasine. It's got a bouncy vibe that’s def a head-nodder.  The horns kick the tempo up a notch and make the whole thing a blast to listen to.

Recognize (Countin My Time) with Metasine

Fusing bass music, electro soul, hip-hop, dubstep, and beyond, this collection boldly navigates diverse sonic landscapes that feel different but familiar all at once. At its core, the EP delves into the transformative power of being out of one's element—capturing the essence of not just surviving, but thriving in unfamiliar territory.

What Do I Do

Here is our full Live Set from Chapel of Sacred Mirrors. Recorded on August 17th 2024.

Live Set from Chapel of Sacred Mirrors - 8/17/2024

The title track from our upcoming EP, All Around. This tune started as a live jam we did during our sets but we decided to develop it into a full track and the results are well...you decide.

All Around

The Invisible Man (Co. Produced by rsrch chmcls)

Memories fade, but never die. I love you, Blue Boy. 

This track, the third single off of our EP All Around, was written as a coping mechanism for the passing of Matty's best friend, and goodest boy, Blue. The song began as a sketch writing exercise that slowly morphed into one of the most emotional and poignant tracks we've ever written. Featuring haunting vocals from Matty himself cut together with vocal samples from Method Man and Billie Holiday the message became clear. 

Your Shadow

Give Me The Light

Here is our remix of Maddy O'Neal's track "Make You Feel"...as gigantic procrastinators we did not get this done in time for the official remix compilation but Maddy said its still needed to be released. So we thank her for vibing with it so much and hope yall do too!

Cant You See (Father Figure Flip)

After much anticipation, here is my remix of High School Art Class by Pretty Lights

1/31/19

Pretty Lights - High School Art Class (Father Figure Remix)

Today marks 20 years since we lost the best MC to ever do it...here's my take on a classic track that I have been bumping since High School.

Big L - Put It On (Headnod Flip)

Khruangbin - August 10 (Father Figure Flip)

I am pleased to share the title track off my forthcoming EP "The Things You Do To Me". This project has been, quite literally, a labor of love. From the crate digging, the artwork done by my amazing girlfriend, Julia and releasing the title track (and her favorite song I've made) on my Moms birthday, it has been one of my favorite works to date. I hope you enjoy the wiggling bassline and boom bap flavor. The rest of the EP will be out in December. Much love, Dad!

The Things You Do To Me

The first of many collaborations with @heavysidefunction and the title track off my upcoming EP, "Find A Way To Survive".  Out 2/26/20!

Find A Way To Survive

Find A Way To Survive (Co-Prod. by Heavyside Function)

Rife with hard hitting bass-lines and punchy pounding drums, Find A Way To Survive, is an exploration into my darker side. A ravaged love letter to self-doubt and insecurities.  In the face of all these inner demons, we survive, and find out we were stronger than we ever thought possible. 

<3,

Dad

Shadow Boxing (Co-Prod. by DrewBeats)

I am honored to present "I'd Give It All Up". This is the first track from my debut album "The Prodigal Sun"! The rest of the album will be out January 29 2021 <3

The Prodigal Sun

I'd Give It All Up

An epic blend of emotion and frequency are driven by a pulsing drum beat and bass synthesis. An exploration into my head, I don't want to set the world on fire. I just want to make something people love and can relate to.

The Prodigal Sun (I Don't Want to Set The World On Fire)

A sonic journey through my coming of age both as an artist and a human-being over the last 3 years. My journey, much like the Prodigal Son, has brought me back home and back to my roots. Each track represents a different part of my journey and the emotions that came along for the ride.

Bio:
Father Figure is the genre-blending brainchild of producer/DJ/vocalist Matt Weishaupt, launched in 2017 and transformed into a powerhouse duo in 2022 with the addition of longtime live collaborator Matt McLaren . 

Based in Albany, NY, the duo draws deep from the soul of Golden Era NY hip-hop—think J Dilla, DJ Premier, Pete Rock—while branching into the lush textures of electronic music and the improvisational spirit of the jam scene. The result? A sonic experience that’s both nostalgic and boundary-pushing.

From gritty boom-bap beats to expansive, immersive soundscapes, their music is a living collage—always evolving, always vibing.

Father Figure has lit up stages at premier festivals including Elements Music & Arts Festival, Camp Bisco, Dreamscape, Fire Lights, Karnival of the Arts, Big Dub, and NY Harvest Fest, among many others. They’ve supported a wide range of artists such as Pretty Lights, CloZee, Manic Focus, Michal Menert, Maddy O’Neal, Saxsquatch, Of The Trees, SoDown, Tripp St. and Marvel Years, bringing their unique blend of head-nodding grooves and electronic energy to every crowd they touch.
