tunes that scratch my brain

'College Music Presents: Back on Track' is a twenty nine track compilation featuring original music from artists and producers the world over. 'Back on Track' aims to act as a beacon of hope after a tricky few years across the world. College Music Records have carefully selected a wide range of artists to feature on the project, spanning from UK, America, Europe and beyond. The end result is a wide array of uplifting vibes, from instrumental beats and jazzy joints to euphoric vocal breakbeats and lo-fi house, featuring the likes of Tennyson, Cookin Soul, Athletic Progression, L'indécis, edbl and a lot more.

The artwork itself, done by the incredible Doug John Miller (http://instagram.com/dougjohnmiller) reflects the journey from the darker, lockdown days to present day and beyond, where things are looking far brighter. We aimed to represent this positive shift in the music selected within the project, hoping to offer a glimmer of light to people in their dark days.

The project title ' Back on Track' reflects how things have come off the rails in the past few years, but that better times are on the way, and as a collective, we are gradually getting 'Back on Track'.

Thank you for listening!

Dark Griselda Type Beat | Lies
Is a beat born from a cold, heavy atmosphere, the kind you only feel in the deepest corners of Buffalo, NYC. 🏚️❄️
This track carries a gritty, unpolished energy dusty soul samples, menacing textures, and drums that hit like steel on concrete. 🥁💀
It’s built for rappers who thrive in the shadows, storytellers who turn struggle into poetry, and artists who aren’t afraid to sit in the darkness a little longer. 🖤😈

When I created this beat, I imagined walking through a deserted block late at night…
Fog in the air 🌫️, silence in the streets, tension everywhere.
People move with purpose — because here, you take what you need or you don’t survive.
That’s the energy behind lies:
raw, unforgiving, deliberately uncomfortable.

The sample is chopped like old film reels burning at the edges 🎞️🔥,
and the drums stay rough, almost hostile  giving you space to spit bars filled with pain, grit, or cold ambition.
If you’re into Griselda, Westside Gunn, Conway, Benny the Butcher, Boldy James, The Alchemist, Daringer, this beat sits right in that world.

I’d love to know what image, story, or feeling this track gives you.
Does it remind you of a specific moment? A scene? A memory?
Drop a comment and let me know — I read everything. 👀💬

If you vibe with this sound, make sure to like, repost, and follow.
More dark, dusty, Buffalo-inspired beats are on the way. 🏁🔥

For artists:
If you want to use this beat commercially, licensing options are available just hit me up.

For the first X/OZ release of 2018 we have brand new material from Russian musical prodigy Nikita Zabelin. His first release in two years, Nikita brings us a fresh take on minimal techno with a breadth of styles and approaches to the genre. Previously releasing on Nina Kraviz’s Trip label this will be Nikita’s X/OZ debut. This release, Trans Siberian Express also features a remix by label head Exos, thus combining the forces of both artists to create the Russian/Icelandic collaboration of the year.
