Manufactured Innocence

Raise Up - Afro-House Faith Flow

MUSIC PROJECT DEDICATED TO MY SWEET LATE WIFE, FRIEND, & SOUL MATE…12 AUGUST 2022...GODS ANGEL RETURNS HOME!!!

"It's inauthentic that you put other people before you by putting yourself last.  How you treat yourself is how you treat God.  You are the representation of God in your life.  In your life, you must be as good to you as you want to be to God in order to be of service to other people in this world.  It's not being selfish it's being self-full.  To take care of you and keep yourself full and healthy, that doesn't mean you disregard everything and everyone.  

You want to come with your cup full, like your cup runneth over.  What comes out of the cup is for you, but what's in the cup is for me/mine, and I got to keep my cup full.  Everyone thinks we're going to get brownie points in heaven by giving continuously to others while disregarding self and God.

“When you give to others to the degree that you sacrifice yourself, you make the other person a thief.  They are stealing from you, and they don't even know it." 

~Iyanla Vanzant


However, what's worse is if they do know.  There's going to be some difficult choices in front of you and you'll have to close doors on people like family members, friends, your child (especially if they're an adult), or loved ones.

You are supposed to get wiser with age, but we're not all built the same.  It may take longer for some; the hope is that you haven't lost everything before you figure it out.

In life, sometimes you must let those reptiles in your life know who they're fooling with.  You're a meat eater, and reptiles are at the top of your list... no seasoning required… STAY PRAYED UP MY BROTHERS & SISTERS!!!

BIO:

In 1998, DJ Sonik began his creative journey that has taken him far and wide, from Chicago, Illinois, to the Czech Republic.  For over a decade, he has performed at some of the world’s most prestigious events and venues, such as Berghain, Tresor, Nikki Beach, and Karlovy Lazne.

Raised in Chicago, DJ Sonik has lived and traveled all over the globe, immersing himself in diverse cultural centers and habitats along the way.  His life experiences have inspired his musical tastes and talents–he possesses a signature sound that fuses electronic dance music with folkloric sounds.  

A style that fully expresses the influence and variety of his upbringing and travels during the time he served in the US Military.  This provided him the opportunity to become musically diverse and culturally influenced.

DJ Sonik is known for his work in the live remix project “An Illusionary Groove”.  As a producer and DJ, he creates and performs electronic dance music, including bass-heavy remixes of club and hip-hop favorites, original deep house, soulful dubstep, funky house, and an amalgamation of other styles.

DJ Sonik does not release formulaic music to appeal to a wide demographic and gain fast, easy notoriety; instead, he lets his music and live DJ mix sets speak for themselves.

Besides a part-time DJ career, DJ Sonik runs an online "Digital Synchronization Sound Productionz (DSSP)" business and various other projects.  On top of this, he has many pursuits and interests that demand his attention to support, promote, and nurture other artistic talents and passions.

Always seeking to rescue, preserve, and promote the cultural heritage of ethnic sounds by bringing together a multitude of cultures to explore the magic of music.

Thank you so much for listening.  I'm truly honored that you enjoyed my hard work and remain humble in receiving critiques and articulations of my hard work. 

Life may occasionally get in the way of consistent creativity, but never my passion for it.  I've been doing my thing since the early 90s & watched the analog world morph into a digital age.

I hope you continue to journey with me on my creative amalgam of ethnic vibes, resonating memorable cultural experiences that strive to be timeless.

In this installment of Sound Advice, our guest is Minnesota rapper Yung Gravy, who uploaded his earliest tracks to SoundCloud in 2016 after deciding to quit his job and focus on music full-time. Experiencing breakout success with his early EPs and racking up millions of plays on the platform, Yung Gravy shares more about his story and where following his own creative path has taken him over the years, from meeting longtime collaborators via SoundCloud DMs to dropping his latest album, ‘Serving Country.’ We caught up with Mr. Butter to talk about what inspired his country licks, kicking it with Shania Twain, how he’s used SoundCloud to connect with fans and what fans can look out for next. Listen now, only on SoundCloud.
