1st single in 3 years, more to come!

Big L Rest In Peace

Too Advanced

Power Moves

Just Can't I

I was introduced to Elephant Revival last year and their music had a deep impact on me. Their musicianship is world class, but it is their soul and chemistry that makes them truly shine bright.  

Their record, "Ring Around the Moon" evokes a powerful spirit that moves the heart. It was only right that I remixed it.

I made sure to keep this one organic as possible, using my MiniMoog Voyager to sculpt acoustic style basses and sounds. I maintained a focus on the original instruments and vocals because they sound to rich and lush, but processed them with heavy delay and reverb to give a wet distance feel. The track naturally flowed to 8 minutes long because the emotions I was expressing felt like a  journey within myself.

I put the of essence of my soul into this one, so I hope you enjoy.

Elephant Revival - Ring Around The Moon (Cpt. HyperDrive Remix)

I am becoming more grateful, each year for this opportunity to experience life and share it with the people I love. It is an honor to share my music with you all and today is no different.

"Feelin' Alright" is a feel good song that has been a staple in BomBassic sets for years now. It is meant to uplift the listener, even in the darkest moods,  to state of realization that it will be alright. 

Much love to all that support my musical passion and I send my energy back to you and what you love. 

Gratitude, 

HyperDrive

Feelin' Alright

“It’s nothing new. Music about losing love. We have heard artists bare their souls for centuries about the pain of heartbreak. But to be honest, I never really understood it.  
I thought it was a joke. 

Then came the day that I fell in love for the first time. It was real and it was beautiful. 
And -- like a fool -- I lost it. 

Now I understood what all those singers were getting at when they swooned lyrics like, “...I can’t stop thinking about you...” over a melancholy sounding piano. They really meant it; they truly felt that pain.

My debut album, Burning Roses, encompasses the experiences and emotions of still feeling the flames of love burn in your heart for someone who used to love you, but has moved on. The “what ifs” and “I could haves” tease your thoughts and make you wish for a time machine. The leaden weight of anger, frustration, and numbing depression cling to your body. Memories of the good times replay in your mind like a syndicated TV sitcom.
 
Then comes a moment of truth: The only way to let go is to let the flames burn out. You are left with only the ashes, but the ashes you now carry are lighter. You can now lift the awful weight of sadness and take the steps towards closure. 

I won’t gush about how this record has the most progressive production, the freshest sound, or the most incredible musicianship. That’s not up to me to judge.  

All I can say about this album is that it’s just me
My heart, a love story and 2+ years worth work of, put into sound.

Burning Roses

2nd single off the debut album ignites the dance floor with finely chopped piano and swooning vocal samples layered with booming 808s. Each section levels up in energy and introduces new rhythmic synth lines before the track is stripped to its minimal elements. Carefully arranged string sections add a richly textured background to the feel-good bounce that is the song's undeniable motif

Intro (Still Got Love)

Flipped "Redbone" and decided to release for my birthday. 
Rocked with the original idea of the record and sprinkled some Wurlitzer, Juno-60, Moog Voyager, bouncy 808s and signature HyperDrive bass.

Childish Gambino - Redbone (Cpt. HyperDrive Soul Bass Bootleg)

This is dedicated to those who think and act with the love in their heart. Sometimes the logical way isn't always the right way... or is it?

Thinking In My Heart

This song was originally written and dedicated to my ex partner about my commitment to our relationship. I was willing to go thru the good the bad, and the ugly. But she apparently wasn't and she ended the relationship. After the breakup, I would listen to the song and feel resentment towards it. It wasn't until after many conversations was I able to realize to be grateful for my capacity to live.  This song is a reminder to myself that I have the ability to love unconditionally with full commitment and dedication.
