Ayyyee. This is kinda funky. I'm digging this.

I can listen to this on repeat all day. ❤

Working up to my next real album release, here’s some leftovers to chew on! 
Old beats, sketches, demo’s. Hope you like it. 
The album “City Pop” will be released later this year!

Beat Tape

I can't dance, I can't dance no more
Without you on my arm 
 I tried with my new date
But my feet wont cooperate     
I called her by your name 
Oh what a big mistake 

I can't dance, I lost  the groove
Im no longer in the mood
I tried with my new date
But my hips wont cooperate  
 I called her by your name 
 Oh what a big mistake 


People been asking about you
Why ur not on my arm
When I try to tell them
The words come out all wrong 
 Im feeling low as a snake 
Oh what a big mistake 

Boys are asking, asking about you 
The word out, 
there calling you no doubt 
Something deep  inside ache, 
Is not an earthquake 
Oh what a big mistake 


I can't dance, I can't dance no more
Without you on my arm 
 I tried with my new date
But my feet wont cooperate     
I called her by your name 
Oh what a big mistake 

I can't dance, I lost  the groove
Im no longer in the mood
I tried with my new date
But my hips wont cooperate  
 I called her by your name 
 Oh what a big mistake

Big Mistake

De La Soul - Drawn Ft. Little Dragon

In between producing Feist’s groundbreaking album Pleasure, co-writing songs for Kelela’s upcoming debut album and working on his sixth full-length album, due out next year, Mocky is set to release the fourth installation of his “Moxtape” series. An unfiltered peek into his unreleased studio experiments and collaborations, “How to Hit What and How Hard" is a collection of handcrafted “off the grid bangers and some songs”, the multi-instrumentalist producer says. 
At the start of 2017, Mocky built a studio at his secretive Los Angeles headquarters. As he put up the studio walls, he began doing test recordings and switching between hammer and nails and drumsticks and drums. The first six test recordings became the basis of “How to Hit What and How Hard’. They range from 1970s Sesame Street funk to Steve Reich-style arrangements with a backbeat to songs like “Problematic” (which casts Mocky's crooning in a glitched-out new light). Though the music covers a lot of ground in his search for goosebumps per minute (GPM), it’s held together by Mocky’s unmistakable percussive touch. 
The L.A.-by-way-of-Berlin transplant plays almost everything on H2HWHH (drums, bass, piano, Rhodes, nylon string guitar, flute), with a few notable exceptions: Gonzales and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson guest on the exquisite “Desiree”, Nia Andrews lends some honey-dripped vocals to “Stop Time”, and Pegasus Warning, Joey Dosik and Aponte Poro round out this family affair on a variety of instruments. 
On  “You Can’t Rush the Funk”, Mocky’s iPhone-recorded voice is as laid back as anything because, as he puts it: “Nothing began with the computer or a click track. Everything began with me hitting something, and during the process, I realized that in the modern musical environment, “how”, “what” and “how hard” you hit something make all the difference." And for those who wonder about the method to his madness, for the first time Mocky is opening the hood on this “how-to kit" of a record: He’s releasing all of the isolated, separated instruments as samples in an “Unpacked Edition”, allowing others to make their own works recreated from Mocky’s handmade blueprint.
