Tarboosh Records monthly beat battle entry 008

StoneFace (#TRS008)

Different pace to this one, more of a halftime beat - still bass focused, dark and moody. A tribute to one of my all time favorites and a look into the shady past not many know about the great, Barry White.

Spidey Sense (#TRS011)

Touched up Ajiaco, tweaked a few of the instruments -- made that 'guitar' riff a little less guitary and added some width to the highend sound. 

Also a rework on the mixdown / mastering. 

Ajiaco [Original Mix][Rework]

I imagined this remix as being the version "Brazil" you might listen to when on the plane, leaving Brazil after having had an amazing summer of love with a stranger you met on vacation.
Lily MacKenzie's vocal work is rad on the original and I wanted to preserve the longing and eurphoric feeling created but at the same time having a melancholic notion of futility. 

Anyway, enjoy the remix. Thanks for checking it out. And big thanks to Falty DL, Planet Mu, &amp; Self-Titled Magazine for the opportunity.

Chai and Chill 040 - essarai [18-11-2018]

Really Gotta Piss... making this beat I thought about the tension you might feel when at an event and you've got to release but at the sametime the music on the floor might be too banging and the line for the toilets too long ... 

Hope you like it and feedback is always appreciated.
(Although it may not fit the style completely, I'd be lying if I said this wasn't influenced by Night Slugs)

Really Gotta Piss [Original Mix]
