Following his move to Los Angeles from Ohio, Ted Feighan has returned with the next installment in his growing oeuvre as Exotica beatsmith, Monster Rally. Feighan’s third full-length as Monster Rally, Return to Paradise, is decidedly faster paced and more percussion-heavy than last year's Beyond the Sea, producing an aesthetic that closely resembles his live performances. The tracks melt together in a mysterious, blissful, and romantic haze invoking that signature Monster Rally thrill of being in a timeless, hypnagogic limbo. The album is pure pictorial fantasy, translating the images of a half-century of National Geographics into 17 tracks that’ll have both tiki drink connoisseurs and scotch aficionados swaying and bopping to the sweat and crackle of Feighan’s latest beatscapes. As with his past releases, Feighan is eager to have his passport stamped, reluctant to stay in one paradise for too long. His wanderlust samplings travel from Peru to Japan, Detroit to Maui, and Ghana to Barcelona expressing the pageantry and ceremony of destinations only the truly intrepid have tasted before.

The artwork of Return to Paradise is greatly inspired by the LP jackets of classic Exotica albums: Martin Denny's Quiet Village, Les Baxter's Jungle Jazz, and Arthur Lyman's Bwana to name just a few. Over fifty different varietals of flowers and plants from around the world decorate the blossoming arrangement on R2P’s cover. In addition, the packaging features printed sleeves showing a take on traditional Hawaiian patterned prints of native flowers and tropical birds. The inside of the gatefold jacket is a visual imagination of the kind of space Return to Paradise inevitably occupies.

Kadhja Bonet - Mother Maybe

Oteh Washington

As one of the Bay Area’s prominent rising artists with relentless lyrical style and charisma, Jay Stone is heavily influenced by 60’s and 70’s Funk, Soul, and R&B. Sampled live instrumentation and eclectic rhythmic patterns are often the foundation in the production of his music. On the footsteps of two EPs and his collaboration with beatmaker Monster Rally, Calibration Of An Altered is an album filled with the growth and expansion that Jay has experienced over the recent years of his life.

Calibration Of An Altered Mind

Told You

Jay Stone - Told You (feat. Black Spade)

Struggle on your way 
You mean naked life 
Follow the way that you don't know 
Judgements are on fire 
You mean naked life 
Time to cross it's time to go 
No situation stable 
You mean naked life 

Find a place to go 
Think about resolutions 
Nobody takes your solution 
No worries about the future 

Because you got 
Lot of life  
A lot of life  
You mean naked life

Naked life is mean so free
So many pressures 
Hope is everyday 
Education is underground 

Written and composed by 19  
Mixxed by Andi Hanley 
Thanx to Brennan Green
