Distracted sums up America at this point.  All the emotions - high & low - are in play as the otherwise distracted people go through their day while a transition of sorts operates in the background.

Distracted

as of this day in (current year/timeline), shouts seem to be coming from all sides as the spectrum of mindsets, wiring, political views, etc. have been crafted by the rich men of this world to steer our emotions; by putting labels on every attribute, left wing/right wing, pro this/pro that, up/down, red/blue/black/white/green/yellow, and to divide us down to our individual base frequency. by their planning, a divided population cannot stand, so the powers that be seek to conquer us from within.  

meanwhile, they have been sending those who relish in chaos, to hit from the the other flank and divide also from without, crafty and cunning, their tactics hunting us like gazelles separated from the pack.  i only want peace, and for us to focus inward and develop a personal relationship with our maker, and by extension naturally our relationships with others would beam with that love from within.  to that end breathes a new beginning, our best timeline, as we need to be still and be at peace, because it's only in that quiet place that we can hear that voice of comfort, guidance, and love.  

shout is coming from all angles - the people cry for justice.  others cry for justice also, but their vision of it is diametrically opposed to the other group, and this pattern goes rinse/repeat to oblivion as those echos ripple outside of our plane of hearing.  

i hear the shouts of frustration & shouts of joy, and empathize with all of them, but will strive to stay focused on this path.  

stay vigilant, friends.

Shout (sofa king dope remix)

Mr Sandmaing:

Inspired in the lab by the legendary Rod Lee, who's wax was in the day (before discogs and HTFR) very hard to come by.  Sought out high and low in the neighborhoods to friends of friends of friends.  

The days of Stephen L Miles, Mr. 6858444 & "let's talk about it".  Mr. Ray's Hair Weave in Curt Schmoke's City that Reads.  C.A. Dutch Rupes, Bob Ehrlich, Slim Charles, Stringer Bell, Marlo and of course Omar, r.i.p. 

Snow days in the Hereford zone, sweet valley high, HVGC, troop 485, ILA local 333, Shorty's where Feelgood let new DJs battle for a slot. Thank you, Charles.  And Charles Street. Sushi & beats deep Brad Reason, Mount Vernon; Miguel, Light Touch, Lisa the flower lady, drum & bass at Sonar with the Fisherman that don't like to pay straight up, 13th Floor hosted by turntablist D'j; Gourmet Beats radio Joe Nice & Ty; Starscape, Fort McHenry & the whole crew of creative people.  Astralyte, you were ahead of your time; let's bring it back. Ross, Andrew or the bruthas Timmy & Greg, hit me up if you're reading this.

Bmore club, from the shot tower near Harbor East, straight outta Camden & Fellas Point, East Point blue crabs, fresh outta Kings Point sailing big ships, Locust Point, Highland "Hollin Tan" holla Bmore & the lights.  

Meanwhile up in Parkton they shot the water tower; no pressure & kids home before the morning bell.  Float the Gunpowder River, vision to action with tubes from Monkton Bike Rental, Danny keeping things floating.  Pretty Boy Dam & the Lochness Raven Reservoir.  

Whether Bmore City, Bmore County, Ho-CO, PGC, Hampstead, Sparks to Glen Burnie, anywhere within or without, throwback all over this republic to the memories of our youth. 

Now the Sunny Isles with Hollywood full circle, accompanied by a hairless Pomeranian in diapers, Maximus Aurelius aka Max.  Back to the Miami heat and may we find peace and harmony on this meteoric rise. 

💜 & 🎧

for this track, the recommended venue or space that caters to sub level bass like a nice set of headphones or in a car running an amp into subwoofers.  make that rear view mirror vibrate & rattle the neighbors fine china or those fillings in your molars.  beware in those country hills and hollers as this may cause liquefaction, dustifying like a controlled demo. A quick note on the sampling used:  long time big fan of Matisyahu.  this is from Live at Stubbs, which debuted 20 years ago, if you can believe that.  Copyright is with Sony BMG Entertainment 2005 and remixed via Creative Commons license.  With some added enhancements to the workflow, this needed some samples to layer over the beats to add some flavor.  just a little salt n pepper sprinkled on breakfast eggs n toast.  some hip hop, raggae, trip hop and fo on tha flo. peace.

Introducing: Heights (sofa king dope remix of Matisyahu)

180 bpm.  DJs, send us an email or DM if you want a digital dubplate for your sets.  Update:  This is a sneak preview with the official release on July 31st, and now available for a limited time as a free download.  Meant to be played with your subwoofers turned way up so it rattles your neighbors' windows.  For the country peeps, a warning:  this may cause your rooster to doodle doo at inappropriate times.  Circadian rhythms of other fowl and beast... ah never mind, not sure where we were going with that one.  

This is the latest release of the "Introducing: sofa king dope" series - It's a bouncy and groovy track the 2nd release of this project by all caps name records & sofa king dope, featuring vocals by Jen Hollywood and sofa king dope.  If anyone picked up on the Hindi phrase in the latter half, from us it's a term of endearment and appreciation - thank you for the support!  Enjoy brothas and sistas & thanks as always for the love & please everyone seek common ground & truth and spread the love forward!
