"O Superman" by Laurie is the kind of masterpiece you think twice before sampling or touching, in fear of disrespecting the original.

Truth is, I was probs not ever going to release it if it wasn't for all the love and early support (thanks Priku)
So thank you thank you thank you from the heart !

Laurie Anderson - O Superman (Calabasa Edit)

"Attention, Relax"
The whole idea behind this track is to “break what you know” .

Grow accustomed to a certain wavelength, vibe… even bore you with it… then proceed to break it, distort it, catch your attention again, make it evolve until it transcends its initial nature.

Witnessing how an insecure beat finally finds its confidence.

120 bpm will never feel so upbeat :)
Enjoy.

Attention, Relax

So here it is, my remix of Almost Home by Moby. Very happy with how it came out!
Sit back, and roll a good one to the chill vibes.

Moby - Almost Home (Blackgate Remix)

Man, once upon a time, there was a world of bananas. Bananas were great beings, but their system of bananas was not going to last for ever. That's when a little Banana, with big ambitions, decided to change Banana world.

After more than a year and a half without releasing, here's the first of many: 
"Coccinelle".
While creating Coccinelle, I came up with 2 ideas for the track:
One was groovy, one was a bit more melodic/dramatic. 
I found both interesting, I didnt want to have to choose and give up on the other. (classic producer dilemmas)
It wasn't easy but I managed to put both ideas in the same song. 
It was quite a journey to make this one! 
Hope you enjoy :)

Vocals by Jamie Lidell. 

"Hope you'll understand what I'm saying to you,
Never had a relationship
Now I'm telling you we're through.
There ain't no easy way to get out of here,
Got so good at hiding
Never made my feelings clear."

Not known to release in volumes, Calabasa opts to release very few, but unique pieces of music. Taking months to finish each track, all his creations aim to tell a story.
In fact, no production of his would ever see the light of day if he didn’t feel it added anything that drove the music scene forward and inspire other creators to look and seek further into their own craft.
