"Recorded as a group, mostly live, throughout fall of 2023 and spring of 2024, it’s a bit of heaviness. The songs were the pressure valve for what were my most trying and sorrowful times.

Much work and passion went into these recordings, I hope you enjoy."

Lyrics:

When will it end, division of sense?
If you’re not asleep, blink twice for me
Dark curtains are drawn over all of the lands
If you’re not asleep, blink twice for me

In this pale fire light lull the tongues of Lucifer’s sons
Hands unfeeling are coddling seedlings
Want to spread in cells (incels)
Whispered plans to begin to strip the lions of their skins
Inveterate scum who’ll never hesitate to venerate
The wants of old white men so prepare for the end

While some die in the heat
Some redefine the violence of hate
Someone’s not someone lest somebody profits Redlined to rebuke their say
There ain’t no use in trying
When there’s no means of getting away
Watch the cues at the food banks
When you’re worse off calling the cops
Than digging graves

When will it end? Listen to me my friends
If you’re not asleep, blink twice for me
Any humans here, can we learn to forget?
If you’re not asleep, blink twice for me

Cause all days end for you and me
Release your jaw
Or we’ll rip it off

I wish you would have stayed home
I wish we could have stayed home

Life... [blows raspberry]

Aan "Blink Twice For Me"

Berlin-based producer, composer and instrumentalist Leon Pock, formerly known as beatmensch5000, introduces his new project ODYLE. ‘The Place Beyond The Willows’ is the third single. 

ODYLE’s upcoming debut EP ‘18 Months Of(f)’ (29.11.24) was crafted during the challenging years of 2022-2023, a period marked by significant personal obstacles. After contracting COVID-19, he faced a prolonged battle with Long COVID (ME/CFS), which severely impacted his daily life and creative process. Despite enduring persistent fatigue, ODYLE continued to create music, albeit with great difficulty. The experience demanded perseverance, patience, and resilience, which ultimately shaped the EP's thematic superstructure and creative journey. The ambivalence of time—both its slow, arduous passage during recovery and its relentless, fleeting nature—became a central theme in the music. 

Particularly influential for his first solo project is the live jazz and hip-hop format Black Bear Basement (sax, keys, vibraphone/perc, turntables), which he founded in 2016 and with which, in addition to a sold-out tour, he was also represented at several established festivals. The band's sound concept, in which sophisticated production skills and the organic timbre of the four instruments result in fully developed beat compositions, also forms ODYLE's unique body of sound.

The EP also showcases the talents of R&B singer DALEE and singer-songwriter fraen as well as award-winning jazz saxophonist Phillip Dornbusch and bassist Viktor Velinov, both key figures in Berlin's flourishing jazz and new soul scene.

Leon Pock has been a pivotal figure in Berlin's music scene for several years, contributing as a producer, composer, and songwriter across both German and English-speaking circles. As a pianist and musical director, he has toured extensively throughout Germany and Europe. Under his former alias beatmensch5000, Leon has released multiple albums and numerous singles, collaborating with a diverse array of artists.

Initial Access
By: Russell Nomer

The network's quiet, the fortress stands tall 
You think you're protected, behind a firewall 
But a lock only works if the key can't be found 
I'm standing at the gates on digital ground 

I'll send a little lure, a carefully crafted spear 
A Phishing link, an attachment, playing on your fear 
Or you'll just surf the web to a site you thought was clean 
A Drive-by Compromise, a malware scene 
I'll change your favorite blog, rewrite the trusted script 
With Content Injection, now your safety's ripped

Initial Access! The first foot in the door! 
Eleven techniques, and I'm coming back for more! 
Initial Access! Breaching your cyber core! 
This isn't the end, this is the start of the war! 

Your Public-Facing App, with a flaw you overlooked 
That External Remote Service, now I've got you hooked 
A little USB I "lost" right on your lobby floor 
Replication starts, opens up another door 
Or maybe something physical, a sneaky little box 
A Hardware Addition that circumvents your locks

Initial Access! The first foot in the door! 
Eleven techniques, and I'm coming back for more! 
Initial Access! Breaching your cyber core! 
This isn't the end, this is the start of the war! 

Sometimes it's not a direct attack, the methods can be sly 
Through a Trusted Relationship, or a Supply Chain buy 
I'll use Valid Accounts that were stolen, weak, or new 
And that insecure Wi-Fi Network? Yeah, that was me, too... 

 Eleven ways to get inside... 
Nowhere left to hide... 
I'm in.




Initial Access

Old me.

Emergence

First mix for beats for the i l l 2017 thanks to @Bhonstro
Bhonstro out of Las Vegas USA is one of those souls who was
simply put, always meant to create.
With his varied tracks and ability to verbally influence through his uniquely tailored versus and takes on life's avenues and detours, Vernon is consistently making a difference musically and creatively in America and beyond.

With his track “Dark City” that encourage head bops and deeper reflection.
To tracks like “Totoro bump” which in its self somewhat creates a sense of internal bliss, sends one in a childish dazed and pleasantly provokes a meditative trance.
Basically, Bhonstro has you covered. 

Honest truth is shared by this individual throughout his creative expressions and we hope he doesn’t stop producing anytime soon as his sound is beneficial to all that hear, so reflect and learn with the Las Vegas native Bhonstro.
