New original music is on the way – but – in the meanwhile we did this little edit of B. B. & Q. Band - On The Beat. It's such a classic that we didn't want to do too much. So aside from editing the structure and speeding it up, we just played in the bassline to thicken it up and added effects. Hope you enjoy the free download!

See you soon! ✌️

B.B. & Q. Band - On The Beat (Ride The Universe Edit)

In 1980, Billy Noknees walked into a London studio with a grim look, a shopping list, and a full string section. What came out was Milk—a dark, cinematic disco ballad that tells the tragic tale of a simple shopping trip gone horribly, apocalyptically wrong. It was described by one surviving session musician as

“...like Bohemian Rhapsody, but about milk and death.”

The session, produced by Cliff “Half Pint” Dairyman, was intended to be part of a concept EP about domestic errands, but Billy became emotionally fixated on the quest for milk after he’d spent 45 minutes the previous day locked inside a Spar during a shelving collapse.

The Song: A Creamy Descent Into Madness
With lush bass arrangements, dramatic piano stabs, and a mournful beat, Milk starts deceptively simple—with Billy solemnly announcing:

"I woke with purpose,
bold and bright, 
But Slipped on a hedgehog
immediate fright"

But things spiral quickly as every verse adds another layer of catastrophe:

The Session: A Beautiful Mess
Cliff Dairyman attempted to maintain order, but the choir kept breaking down in laughter, and the violinist was so emotionally overwhelmed by the bridge that he briefly retired. Billy, naturally, insisted on wearing a milkman’s outfit for the session and brought in eight pints of actual milk, which he poured over himself during the final chorus.

The janitor called the fire brigade.

The Aftermath
Milk was released as a 12" single in the UK with a scratch-and-sniff sleeve that smelled faintly of spoiled dairy, and predictably, it was pulled from shelves within two weeks. Only 12 copies are known to survive, with one found in 2016 wedged into the fridge of a long-abandoned caravan in Cornwall.

Now, AI-remastered and creamier than ever, Milk returns in all its tragic glory. The sleeve has been faithfully restored—featuring, simply, a bottle of Milk.

So pour yourself a cup of tea, and prepare for disaster—Milk is back!
One man’s journey for dairy. One shop's downfall. One epic weepy disco tragedy

The SOS Band | No One's Gonna Love You (Change Request Extended Fantasy)

Having written for The SOS Band before and freshly coming off being fired from The Time—by The Purple One himself, Mister Jamie Starr—Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis officially started their full-time music production careers with this song and this album at Master Sound Studio for Tabu Records in Atlanta.

A favorite single off The SOS Band’s fifth studio album—1984s Just The Way You Like It—“No One's Gonna Love You”, much like this entire record, was written and produced by the Dynamic Duo from Minneapolis. 

Peaking at just #6 on the Billboard R&B Albums charts, this song would continue to see Jam & Lewis developing their early takes of drum machines in popular R&B, this time featuring the brand new Roland TR-808. 

Students of Prince, but graduates of The Minneapolis Sound, this would be one of the first productions of theirs that would go on to heavily influence groups like Loose Ends and 52nd Street as well as being sampled 49 times by artists such as Tupac, New Edition, Snoop Dogg, Foxy Brown, Maxwell, and A$AP Rocky among many others. 

I have always loved this song and like most of their productions from this era, their arrangements and formatting were hyper-focused on developing their quick succession of sections that could all be hooks, a benchmark of the Jam & Lewis songwriting aesthetic. 

Forging a new rhythm section here composed in the zeitgeist, I added all the Minneapolis Sound drum favorites for the era in the mix—from The Oberheim DMX/DX and LinnDrumm LM-1/LM-2 to the standard Roland TR-808 percussion ensemble as well as The Sequential Circuits Drumtraks (which wasn’t used on this album as it was released in the same year of it)—to put some “Get Right” on this 25-year old recording. 

Extending the instrumental sections and symmetrically repeating the hook, I made the longest version of this there is, clocking in at just over 10mins. Saturating the polyrhythmic additional programming, this modern version is now armed for Dance Floor Destruction or Dinner & A Movie Devastation.

Enjoy!
