For such a long time I wanted to work with Mister V. His output has been a major influence for me. Especially “Jus’ Dance” was a game changer. So I was very happy that the legend Mr. V himself joined in to collaborate on the 3rd Eye EP for our own imprint RISE MUSIC.

We started working on this piece about two years back, when the world was still quite different. DJT was still in charge (?!) in America and there was no pandemic around. Nevertheless Mr. V’s lyrics kept their magic, their timeless touch and somehow became even more relevant.
3rd Eye is about staying true to yourself, not getting overrun by the madness around you and about trying to make the world a better place.
No matter if it is about resisting autocratic, bigot and racist tendencies in the government or crazy conspiracy theories. We all carry responsibilities for the greater good of all of us. We do share the view that a crisis always also provides opportunities: For change and for the better.

My original version carries this tension that we all felt in the last years. The energy culminates in a nervous arpeggio and a catchy acidish hook on top of a quite classic house beat. After pushing you forward with grooves the tune turns into a string ladden ray of light.
The type of mood that we are all so desperately antcipating.
Everyone who’s not so much into spoken words will be happy to hear my stripped down Raw Beat Version. It is quite a bit more groove focused, powerful and with an overall feel that I like to call African Techno.

On top of that I am very happy to have Amsterdam’s William Djoko in the house for two amazing remixes. He delivered exactly his type of groove-laden house and rugged, motor-city techno (sprinkled with his famed frisky footwork of course) that I was hoping for. He is flirting with playful, cut for the club and trippy, mischievous percussions. Pure power!

Old Empty Room

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

Not being a drummer or having access to a collaborating drummer very often I have been moving away from using the Logic Pro virtual drummer and playing the drum grooves on my keyboard. I have to admit it has given me added respect for the art as it is not easy (at least for me) to keep a consistent beat even for a few bars. For this I used the Vintage Breaks+ drum kit, but to get the deep sound applied the Space D reverb, which I then also used to give the same overall sound to all the stems. The bass is a Logic Baby Bass treated with a Full Stack guitar amplifier. For the vocal in the chorus I used a reverse Space D reverb to achieve the ghostly effect. Lyrically I think this song speaks for itself.

TWO SPEED

There’s vintage and new
All kinds and looks
On this brand new two speed highway
I can see you clearly
You’re holding on and dearly

There’s a clear road ahead
Slipping into 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th
There’s a lane you can choose instead
Letting go, letting go 

I’ll pass you by
Why don’t you even try
I want to love you 
I want to hold you

I can’t wait for you
Makes me wanna cry
Stay away from you
I’m afraid of you

Unless you help yourself
Take good care of yourself
And love yourself
Unless you help yourself
Take good care of yourself
And love yourself

So much more than you and me
Can’t slip into he said, she said, we said, they said
A shiny city on a hill  
I wanna get there, you wanna get there
 
Free flowing air
Full speed ahead, but
To be close to you
Spend time with you

I’m breaking free
I wish that you could see
I can’t love you
I can’t trust you

Unless you help yourself
Take good care of yourself
And love yourself
Help yourself
Good care of yourself
And love yourself

Two Speed

Let your troubles melt away...

RiZLiX - Tropical Dreams

Fairly simple song I wrote quite quickly (quickly for me anyway) with added attempted enlivening of final chorus by means of cod-orchestrals. 
---

I want another cup of coffee but I've had too much already
I get caught up in the details and then I feel a bit unsteady
So I'm staring through the window at the people out at lunchtime
In the sunshine

I dreamt I went to heaven on the train
Oh they've got canapes and badges where you write your name and I
Sat next to an angel
We got into conversation
I got caught up in the details
And I missed my destination

I thought I knew just what I wanted but I did not know my nature
You get caught up in the details and then it's five years later
And when you told me that you loved me well I know at first you meant it
(I know you really meant it)

[Repeat chorus]

Can't be ordinary and also extraordinary
I'm tying not to be someone who's going to let you down

[Repeat first verse]

Think I'm gonna go out in the sunshine

[Repeat chorus]

Caught Up In The Details

This track was made during a difficult period for me, when covid drove me into a cage of depression. To cope with it, I, in spite of everything, took out all the light that is in me and, through I can't, tried to make music. And she saved me! This is the first track in a new, now, world.

Came across the phrase 'like a rabbit in the headlights' and it got me thinking about pivotal moments, although the ending is ambiguous, no actual bunnies were hurt in the making of this song. Hope ya like it!

Frozen in the headlights
Feet refuse to run
Is this his last moment
Is he done?

Time for some reflection
Did this rabbit do it right?
Should he’ve been much bolder
Looked those humans in the eye
 
Stood his ground with foxes
Laughed at the farmer’s gun
Been a little more outrageous
Had some bunny fun.

Maybe gone to Vegas
Danced flamenco in Seville
Been a little more courageous
But he wasn’t, hey but still..

Will the driver dip those headlights
Let him off the hook
Ease up on the gas pedal
You never know your luck

Acorde agora
Oh sim
Você vai sair por aquela porta?
Não me pergunto ... sobre hoje
O que faremos?
Oh, para onde iremos?
E por que não rir?
Ou, por que não chorar?
Por que não gritar?
Ou, por que não suspirar?
Talvez um pouquinho?
Talvez muito?
Refrão
Oh, dia de glória
Está tudo vindo em nossa direção
Brilhe seu sorriso
Deixe-nos sentir….
Como uma criança
Deixe-nos ser…..
O que podemos ser
Porque eu não tenho tempo para história
Eu não quero ser uma memória desbotada
Nós vamos correr
Nós vamos jogar
Não vamos salvar nada
Oh não para outro dia
Ponte
Ah não
Não não não
Uhmmmm ... Uhmmm..Uhmmmm
Oh, dia de glória
Traga tudo do nosso jeito
Dia de glória
eu posso sentir isso
Vindo do nosso jeito ... Dia da glória

Light tomorrow

Bad weather in my life,
one more ordeal to live,
the light will pierce these dark clouds,
the sun rays will illuminate my soul,

black yesterday, gray today, 
black yesterday, gray today,
light tomorrow, 

only hope survives,
that glow in the back of my mind,
this joy finally rediscovered,
this peaceful spirit forever,
this lightness of thinking, of dreaming, of living simply,

day and night, I want the light,

every day, 
I need your light,
every day, 
I need your light,
every day, 
I need your light,

Light Tomorrow

Man of Promise (Brian Peters)

He was a man of promise coming down
Riding through the dusty white southern towns
They heard his music, they thought he was strange
But they needed somebody, it was time for change

They gave him their disease and they gave him hate
They led to the elders at the city gates
He toppled the tables at the house of commerce
And everyone was frightened of the man of promise
-
He stood in the jaw of the lion
He walked through the trap of the bear
He laid in the nest of the eagle
And he trampled on the serpent’s head
-
He was a man of promise come from God
He carried the scales and he carried the rod
The rod was straight, the scales were set
The writing on the wall was the letter of death

Everybody knew that the end would come
In a hail of bullets from a friendly gun
They strung up a recluse, a Judas, a Thomas
Then they started looking for another man of promise

Man Of Promise

How we feel
Isn’t wrong
When we don’t take time to judge it
How it’s been
All along
We can see it in each other’s eyes.
But it’s real,
We belong
Maybe see things slightly different.
Been revealed,
We are strong
And never plan to go away.

Welcome to
Where you are
We’re so glad that you could make it!
How do you do?
Was it far?
Next time, we’ll help you find your way.
Who are YOU?
You’re the stars,
And the light that shines forever -
Coming to
From afar
To bathe us all in your warm glow.

Massive thanks to Russell Sinfield for spending hours and hours mixing and mastering this EP, especially since he originally thought he was only mixing one song, lol! And thanks to taRka, Arkestar, Joerxworx, Bitzone, and Alex for all the inspiration, creativity, and energy you added to this track. You all made this track what it is!

I grew up on hip hop and have always been a hip hop musician first. Hip hop (and lo-fi indie rock) is the lens through which I always first approach making a song. After spending years listening to the music of our SoundCloud community, everyone's music has found a deep place in my heart. I believe that when hip hop artists first began sampling funk tracks in the 80s, it was out of love and respect for the music they grew up with and identified with. I now sample the music of my SoundCloud collaborators and friends to make new songs from those that I love. Tony Turn Around is a celebration of that process. It is a representation of the joy of sampling and the delight of playing around with cool sounds from musicians you respect and admire. I hope you all continue to enjoy what we have created as a community here on SoundCloud and Bandcamp!

This project is dedicated to the development of a more conscious, equitable, harmonious alternative to the destructive imperialist colonial neo-liberal capitalist consumer societies in power.

Feel It Like I Do

When I see what’s happening around the world today, whether  it be the pandemic, the manipulations and constant lies being told by those in power, people turning against each other, fires, floods etc…..the air feels thick with anger and this ominous pulse……I guess I had this horrible dream last night and woke up with this lasting uneasy feeling of helplessness. So as I woke up, I produced this track with the feeling of unease left by this nightmare.
Even though I stopped watching the news years and years ago….too much propaganda, lies, bad news etc, I cannot avoid the people’s attitude and response to what’s happening now. All the anger and fear. 
Sorry guys, I usually try to post happier relaxing music, something about fighting and being hopeful, but as I mentioned so many times before, I tend to produce and post music on impulse. Love to all. Copyright protected ©

Miss Somebody

So much talent from my part of the country (SW Louisiana, SE Texas) George Jones, Tracy Byrd, Mark Chesnutt, George Straight, Janis Joplin, Edgar Winters and the list goes on.  Tracy Lawrence sang with a Louisiana based band in 1988-1990.  He was shot 4 times by robbers in may 1991 which delayed his first album Sticks and Stones.  He was named top new male country vocalist in 1993.  He continues to create great music.  Just one of my favorite Tracy Lawrence songs.

That's How A Cowgirl Says Goodbye (Cover)

Serious people know not to take themselves too seriously. Always do your best. Stay humble. Don't read your own headlines. There's always someone or something better. Each of us are always able to look, listen, learn, and improve upon whatever we 'Master'......or 'Think We Have'. We're all Legends in our Own Minds sometimes. As The Mighty Mighty Master of Nothing, myself, here I am.......always attempting to enjoy each moment to the fullest. Wanting to simply do my best given my shortcomings. That's all. I will fall short, I will fail, I will make mistakes, but I will always get up, dust off, and keep moving forward in some way - each and every day. Most of all, try to keep it FUN. Smile through the pain if and when you can, Friends. Enjoy Life. Live, Love, Laugh! ;-) Don't sweat the small stuff........ Forget "Get"....To Give is to Live!

Riff Beach Original - RiffWerx - 2017
(Revised Version - 2021)
Oh, it’s really sad to say, My Friend
But, as I approach The End
Strange face in a mirror stares right through me 
Yet, loving this place I always longed to be
It’s a place that we all know
Not too hard for anyone to go
Must be real if we accept it as so
I know you know the feeling that I know 
(Chorus)
It sure seems right as rain
Even though it causes me some pain
My Cup runneth over with all I write and sing
Yet, here am I…..The Mighty Mighty Master of Nothing 
The Mighty Mighty Master of Nothing 
(Bridge)
Sometimes, for those who wish to be King 
Best remember exactly what power can bring
For, you need not follow any rules at all 
If you keep your Kingdom tidy and small 
How insane and pointedly true
And, I’m afraid you believe it, too
Or, do you think that they don’t see?
We’re often all Fools……
Yeah, even You and Me
 (Chorus and Out)

A very raw two chord recording of 
Time Just Eats You Up.

IT'S EVERY BOY'S DREAM
TO GET HIS DRIVERS LISCENSE
THE DAY HE TURNS SIXTEEN
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

FINISHING GRADE SCHOOL
IS A LONG TIME COMIN'
WE ALL NEED THOSE TOOLS
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

SOME ATTEND COLLEGE
SOME JOIN THE WORK FORCE
AT A VERY YOUNG AGE
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

(CHORUS)
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP
NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THAT
IT'LL ALWAYS WIN
NOBODY IS THAT FAST

CAN'T WAIT TO GET MARRIED
WHEN YOU MEET THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE
LEAVING PARENTS WORRIED
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE KIDS
NOT ALL FUN AND GAMES
CAN'T WAIT FOR GRANDKIDS
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

TIME KEEPS SLIPPIN' AWAY
LIVING IN THE FAST LANE
TURNS YOUR HAIR GREY
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

(REPEAT CHORUS)

WE NEVER TAKE THE TIME 
TO SMELL THE ROSES
STOP AND UNWIND
CAUSE, TIME JUST EATS YOU UP

(REPEAT CHORUS)

One More Dollar

For our first DHSA premiere we have @ryanmurgatroyd with a new remix for @stereotype-dj - Visions out this week on @get-physical-music.

Ryan Murgatroyd’s remix captures the essence of his home in Cape Town. Get Physical’s core artist balances African rhythms with electronic stylings- a trait which is thematic in his music. He juxtaposes rasping synths and loose-limbed rhythms as he layers in colourful xylophone melodies. It’s an elegant end to what could only be described as a deserving standalone release of a hot single that now comes with a range of on point remixes.

Head over to the awesome @fadysporz to listen to some wonderful indie gems! 

i don't know
where to go
where to flow
where myself has been

if i was
here with me
'now!' i'd say,
'now i'm free'
but i am somewhere else and out of reach

sometimes my mind games
keep me under control
there's nothing i could do
my chemical imbalance turns into
fire

i know the fire
it keeps me under control
it's never far away
it never takes too long, you know
one, two, here it comes
fire

everything is an up and down
everything is an up and down
all my me's are running up and down
everything is an up and down
everything is an up and down
i'm trapped by this
fire

Be my guest
All the guns
Haven’t fired yet

There’s a tower in the fountain
There’s a bridge over Hades

Damn the beast

Full Band Version Master 12/31/20 by Daniele Turani 
(Use Headphones for best sound)

STOPPING AT OUR LITTLE COUNTRY STORE						
EVERY HEAD TURNED AS SHE WALKED THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR						
SAYING, HOW DO I GET BACK TO I-65						
SHE HAD TO BE THE PRETTEST GIRL ALIVE						
						
THE STORE OWNER TRIED TO GIVE DIRECTIONS						
AS HE LOOKED AT HER BEAUTIFUL COMPLECTION						
HE FINALLY MANAGED TO SAY COUNTY 25						
WILL TAKE YOU BACK TO I-65						
						
AS SHE WALKED OUT THE FRONT DOOR						
JOHNNY SAW HER AND SAID "OH MY LORD"						
AS HIS HEART SHIFTED INTO OVERLOAD"…HE SAID						
SHE COULD MAKE A FREIGHT TRAIN TAKE A DIRT ROAD						
						
(CHORUS)						
SHE COULD MAKE A FREIGHT TRAIN TAKE A DIRT ROAD						
WITH THE PRETTEST EYES I'VE EVER SEEN						
LOOKIN' LIKE A MODEL IN A MAGAZINE						
YEA, SHE COULD MAKE A FREIGHT TRAIN TAKE A DIRT ROAD						
						
JOHNNY RUSHED OUT TO HIS TRUCK						
AND TRIED TO CATCH HER, BUT NO LUCK						
HE CHECKED EVERY INCH OF COUNTY 25						
ALL THE WAY BACK TO I-65						
						
HE STILL TALKES ABOUT THAT DAY						
AND WANDERS WHY HE LET HER GET AWAY						
DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK A PRETTY GIRL OUT						
JOHNNY KNOWS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT						
						
(REPEAT CHORUS)
