Dear Reader, 

It was a great pleasure, after presenting an early version of this song (which I had sung) to Christy Bluhm, to learn that she wanted to sing it. There was no hesitation on my part. I immediately muted every note I sang and gave it over to her. Christy sings beautifully on this song, and I cannot imagine the song in any form but with her gorgeous voice interpreting the melody. 

From there, we got Noel Barrett involved, and he laid down such a cool bass track. His fills throughout are masterful with tasteful touches. Rock-solid time—great ideas! That's Noel.

Next we asked John Mason, a brilliant technical guitarist, to join us, and he did exactly what the track called for—he played rhythm guitar. His tasty picking in the verses created a forward movement that urged the song along, and his strumming of the chords in the chorus acted as a canvas for Christy to paint a melody over. 

Several weeks ago, Sharon Egan, a talented vocalist from Northeast Pennsylvania added some lovely vocal lines in the bridge of the song, which Christy then harmonized over. 

Our last move was to get saxophonist Dan Friedman involved. Dan has played on several of my songs in the past and he always brings with him a unique approach that is soulful and tinged with a jazz sensibility. He knows what to play and for this song he sought out the spaces in such a beautiful way. 

Ultimately, we have a song in which a group of great musicians wove their parts to create a tapestry of sound that provides surprises along the way and moments that you are eager to return to on ensuing listens. 

This was a true collaboration. At no point was there direction from me, except to say, "Do what you do!" And they did!

All My Best,

'Dr Sniff'

You can use red contact lenses
You can also glue on a false beard
Maybe put a wig upon your head
Or simply dye your hair
Using sausage water to create a false trail
Or hide in Mino's maze

nonetheless, nonetheless

You can plane your fingertips
Put on a perfume Chanel No 5
You can walk backwards in the snow
You may even use stealth technology
You can change means of transport
Or walk upstream
Perhaps hiding behind waterfalls
Or also put on a spacesuit

You can speed away in a really fast car
Even take a plane
You can hide on a cruise- or containership
As a blind passenger

but nonetheless, but nonetheless

You can forge the ID
Even swap your tax number
Or even change your health insurance
You can lay false tracks everywhere

You might think you left without trace
But Dr Sniff’s already got your pace
You could even try to hide in hell
But Dr Sniff’s already taken up your smell 

Already taken up your smell…

The debut album from American artist DJDESKJOCKEY on SuckPuck — and it fully lives up to its name. HI SPEED NO SLEEP is a furious marathon of 12 tracks where oldschool rave, gabber. hardcore, breakcore, jungle and footwork collide, mutate, and turn into a strange new creature.

Across just over an hour, DJDESKJOCKEY delivers nonstop momentum: playful, aggressive, and unpredictable. Acid lines, cartoonish samples, sudden switches and hyperactive energy make the record feel both chaotic and meticulously arranged.

HI SPEED NO SLEEP is reckless, funny, aggressive, and carefully crafted all at once. A debut that turns rave history inside out and reshapes it into DJDESKJOCKEY’s own hyperactive world.

As always, the release is free to download, but if you enjoy it — we’d be super grateful for your support through donations. 🙏
