Father Figure x Underlux - Blow Up (The Gradient Perspective Exclusive)

Fusing bass music, electro soul, hip-hop, dubstep, and beyond, this collection boldly navigates diverse sonic landscapes that feel different but familiar all at once. At its core, the EP delves into the transformative power of being out of one's element—capturing the essence of not just surviving, but thriving in unfamiliar territory.

Far From Home

In The Dead Of Night (ft. Matt McLaren)

So excited to present the first single off my forthcoming EP "Astronomical". This tune Singularity features my good friend and guitar played Matt McLaren. A Singularity is best exemplified by a black hole. At the center of a black hole, space-time becomes a one-dimensional point which contains a huge mass. As a result, gravity become infinite and space-time curves infinitely, and the laws of physics as we know them cease to function.

The 3rd track off my EP "Astrnomical"...Star Stuff is a journey through the cosmos.

Star Stuff (ft. Matt McLaren)

Phish meets Biggie, Crazy Town and a whole lot of Electro-Soul flavor.

So with out further ado he is my remix of Lean With It!

After much anticipation, here is my remix of High School Art Class by Pretty Lights

Pretty Lights - High School Art Class (Father Figure Remix)

Today marks 20 years since we lost the best MC to ever do it...here's my take on a classic track that I have been bumping since High School.

Big L - Put It On (Headnod Flip)

I am pleased to share the title track off my forthcoming EP "The Things You Do To Me". This project has been, quite literally, a labor of love. From the crate digging, the artwork done by my amazing girlfriend, Julia and releasing the title track (and her favorite song I've made) on my Moms birthday, it has been one of my favorite works to date. I hope you enjoy the wiggling bassline and boom bap flavor. The rest of the EP will be out in December. Much love, Dad!

The Things You Do To Me

The first of many collaborations with @heavysidefunction and the title track off my upcoming EP, "Find A Way To Survive".  Out 2/26/20!

Find A Way To Survive

Find A Way To Survive (Co-Prod. by Heavyside Function)

Rife with hard hitting bass-lines and punchy pounding drums, Find A Way To Survive, is an exploration into my darker side. A ravaged love letter to self-doubt and insecurities.  In the face of all these inner demons, we survive, and find out we were stronger than we ever thought possible. 

<3,

Dad

Shadow Boxing (Co-Prod. by DrewBeats)

I am pleased to present my track for Soon Enough The Light Will Shine, a compilation album by the Pretty Lights Family. This album was put together as a way to keep pushing the wonderful Pretty Lights community forward and expanding on the beauty that Derek Vincent Smith has created.

The wonderful artwork is created by Metasine Music.

Master done by Essonite Music.

Count Your Blessings

Electric Hawk Funkytown Live Set [5/16/2020]

It has been far to long since I released a new piece of music. I promise it won't be that long again. Thank you for Waiting for Me. I am pleased to tell you, I have been "Waiting for You" as well. Enjoy!

-Dad


Lyrics:
My father taught me this world was only a preparation for the next, that all we can ask is that we leave it having loved and being loved.

I will wait for you.

Waiting For You

I am honored to present "I'd Give It All Up". This is the first track from my debut album "The Prodigal Sun"! The rest of the album will be out January 29 2021 <3

The Prodigal Sun

I'd Give It All Up

An epic blend of emotion and frequency are driven by a pulsing drum beat and bass synthesis. An exploration into my head, I don't want to set the world on fire. I just want to make something people love and can relate to.

The Prodigal Sun (I Don't Want to Set The World On Fire)

A sonic journey through my coming of age both as an artist and a human-being over the last 3 years. My journey, much like the Prodigal Son, has brought me back home and back to my roots. Each track represents a different part of my journey and the emotions that came along for the ride.
