My first single from my upcoming project “Reminiscing Replay “. Panther On A Preying takes you back through time when hip hop was made simple; beats and rhymes. Listen as I do a replay of one of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite groups OutKast -Skew On The Bar-B.

Panther On A Preying

For over a year now, Denni Kindred, a.k.a. Longstocking, has been captaining the ship that is Feral One Records.

From the beginning her philosophy has been clear: pour into every release the unbridled love she feels for her hometown of Seattle while creating space for PNW artists to produce music that honors their own personal connection to the region (and to the dancefloor).

Now Longstocking is back with another release of her own on Feral One. A release that is the most extensive and diverse in the history of the label: her new album, Creating Space.

Seattle is Kindred’s space.

The musical contributions of Seattle and the PNW span all different genres and time periods, and the 16 tracks on Creating Space represent the diversity in sound and persona found within that space. It’s as much an alternative album as it is a dance album.

Kicking things off is “Good Stuff” (the title of which gives an unambiguous hint as to what is coming from the track and the rest of the LP). This track is just pure joy. There is a playful use of samples that plays like a child throwing different colored paints at the wall and ending up with a Jackson Pollack. Simultaneously, different string patterns, from arpeggios to chordal pads, provide a sense of acoustic groundedness, like that same child knew exactly what they were doing from the start.

“A Little Too Much” is another indicative title, communicating the degree of Kindred’s love of Seattle. The combination of rhythmic dulcimer strings and warm, inviting vocals is like the sonic version of a charter boat coasting on Puget Sound at sunset. The kick drum is just a reminder that after the boat docks, everyone is heading to the club.

But remember, this album is not just for the club. And past the halfway mark, “Bombom” comes in to combine hip-hop, breaks, and IDM into one delectable, heady whole. Where does each of these manifest? Hip-hop comes through in even more airtight sampling. Breaks are found in erratic drum patterns. And the synth passages are so gruesome, there is no other genre classification that remotely makes sense besides IDM.

The alternative side of the album reaches its zenith at “Office Window” when Kindred abandons all sense of dance music. But one thing she doesn’t abandon even slightly is a sense of groove. The drum kit glides along a swing beat that Coltrane would be happy to riff over, but instead of bebop tenor saxophone, it’s sound design that is equal parts precise and minimalistic.

To close is another curveball in the form of “Green & Me.” Given the context of this album, it should be clear that “Green” represents the lush, arboraceous environment of Seattle (as well as another plant that is as aromatic as it is combustible), and “Me” is Kindred, who so candidly shares over a serene lo-fi hip-hop beat that there’s no other place that she could ever be.

Office Window

Longstocking - Office Window

pray for me

Hit rhyme schemes on time 
mind blinding at times
Turn off high beams I’m high
Got an endless supply
Sober can’t comply
I was born to defy
Whyd I want to die,
Magic beans, I’m in the sky
Tragic things, say goodbye
From above realize
Perception just reflection 
Inner demons teach you lessons
Better count your blessin’s
Demons out with smith and wesson’s.
Vampire, I’m infected.
feed off sick obsession.
Your energy such a blessin
Keep you in my collection
My love like possession
Girl stealer, earned getting ditched.
Dope dealer plead the fifth
Realer since I got stitched
Back together, like Frankenstein
Possessed by jester, we entwined
Joke gets better With time, 
Life has quite the punchline
For me it’s crunch time 
Running up the deadline
No more bedtime
Tryna reach the headlines
Need em clingy like head lice
Needy like they in a bread line.
Thinking bout losers spitting bout hoes that
“Broke their heart/left them cold” cap 
You soft like a floor mat
just as walked on
and you the tip of the icecap
I’m sharp as a thumbtack
Make you walk wrong
If you tread on me
Got the fed on me
Wanna feed on me

Sometimes it doesn't need a specific story behind a track - just some good vibes! Since the production was very experimental the boys came to the conclusion they needed a fitting title for this single! 
'Taindust' doesn't exist as a word as well and was the perfect name for this piece of music that the guys fell in love with while creating it.
