Fantastic lyrics and vocals. Wonderful sound, amazing instrumentation and arrangement. Marvelous production and collab, Justin!

Great piece of electronic-rock... Loving the vocal delivery, bassline and composition as a whole. Excellent collab!

encapsulating originality with retro savy , big claps from me peeps

very tasty use of rhythm work in this piece, and the distortions on the guitar are perfectly matched, the vocal is amazingly effective and the message clear, nice bass in the breakdowns adds a beautiful bed for the vocal elements,  a truly magical and flowing piece, thoughtful and provoking lyrics add mysticism and light -  loving it my friend, thank you - shine

Great catchyness, sparkling production and drive.

i m so happy to listen friends ! ( prouuuuud )

This PL i dedicate to the more smoothin' groovin' and definately moooovin' songs and tracks i encounter, which i find somewhat "cool" and highly enjoyable and melodic, somewhat toe-tapping and beard twirling songs. Something between becoming maybe a touch funky ,spacey, slightly crazy n dreamy, 60,70,80s vi-bey, sexy, soundtrackalike and way toooooo much enjoyable to be NOT put on a list :). Lets call it .... the "grand" feeling, while listening to those. 

Too hard to start dividing all my otherworldly listen experiences right down to each artist , gotta collect em somehow, so please apologize if you might encounter something in this list which you did not exactly "expect" :)

Thank you all wonderful artists who keep constantly the bar so high and my feelings so excited!

smooothin groooooooooovin moooovin

Although I’ve worked with Darren on a few pieces now, this is my first true collab with both Darren and Kelley (the magical, musical duo that are Keldari Station: https://soundcloud.com/keldari-station, https://keldaristation.bandcamp.com/). If you enjoy 80s/90s style electronica and alternative music, with an esoteric approach to lyrics, you’re going to love this band. They are thoughtful musicians, with a genuine desire to share the positivity. And in this day and age, that is a breath of fresh air.

This one also has a cool detail happening behind the scenes. We were fortunate enough to get Mahayana mixed and mastered by our good friend, the very prolific and detail-oriented Russell Sinfield (https://soundcloud.com/russell-sinfield, also Mad Scientist behind Chaos Cookhouse; a full blown mixing/mastering service). This fellow knows the industry, and knows how to prep a song for multiple musical environments. In fact, I was joking with him early in the process, because where I would usually stop and call it good, Russ was on about stage 4 of 10 in testing the final master for different conditions. It was awe inspiring, and humbling (and a healthy reminder of what the professionals have to go through to get this stuff sounding perfect). So thank you from all of us, Russ. This wouldn’t sound quite as awesome without your thoughtful involvement.

So with great exuberance, Darren, Kelley, Russ and I offer you our first truly collaborative musical effort… ‘Mahayana’. :D

Lyrics:

Here today but gone tomorrow
Built to last the interim
Gaining wealth won’t lose your sorrow
Fortune flows out from within

Words are more than ink on paper
Books all turn to dust with time
Manifest with your intention
Through your deeds reach the sublime

Here today but gone tomorrow
Built to last the interim
Gaining wealth won’t lose your sorrow
Fortune flows out from within

Essence / Enjoyment / Transformation
These three bodies make our one
Knowledge helps us break the cycle
Ignorance will make us come undone

Here today but gone tomorrow
Built to last the interim
Gaining wealth won’t lose your sorrow
Fortune flows out from within

(Bonus Note: I’ve now done an abundant number of projects specifically with the people I met through Eddie Shook’s ‘Anything Goes’ radio show (https://www.mixcloud.com/DJMenamenasta). So in celebration of this song’s launch, I’m also including a full playlist (in chronological order) of all the songs I’ve done with other ‘Anything Goes’ musicians. These are talented folks, and it’s a great collection of diverse music. Plus, if you enjoy these songs, most of these musicians have also been working with each other on their own projects. So there you go; a whole new corner of the musical world to explore.)

Urban folk/pop
On the edge of infinity
 
As the smoke files the air
She’s gonna blast off outta there
She’s boarding her space ship
Going out into orbit
She can feel the sonic boom
From her bedroom
Reverberating/evaporating memories
Chorus
On the edge of infinity
Discarding her effigy
On the edge 
On the edge of infinity
Creating make believe
On The edge of infinity

Alice in her wonderland
Lucy in the sky with her diamonds
Where dagger words are popsicles
That twist into rainbows

Chorus
On the edge of infinity
Discarding her effigy
On the edge 
On the edge of infinity
Creating make believe
On the edge of infinity

Bridge
love activates an energy
With exponential gravity
On the edge of infinity

She feels her heart explode
With unbounded love for those
Who misunderstand her
in misguided anger

Chorus
On the edge of infinity
Discarding her effigy
On the edge 
On the edge of infinity
Creating make believe
On the edge of infinity

pressure rising,,a lil bit a lil bit more
senses heightened a just a lil bi lil bi lil bit more
fascination keeps us locked behind these doors
of perception
how do you see me , how do i see you
a glass half empty let me fill you
a glass half empty let me fill let me fill let me fill you up
can you feel it ..i can feel it ..
feel it rising like a tide inside of me and i am the wave
sail yourself on me
you can turn me upside down and inside out
never find the real me
you can twist me wrong side round and right side down
never find the real me
feel it rising like a tide inside of me and i am the wave
sail yourself on me

Composition-- The Eclectic Collective
This song started with Josh coming up with a bassline and the arrangement. He started it as a project for the Eclectic Collective, so they were all immediately involved. Ken first laid down his rock solid groove of a drum beat to complete the rhythm section. Scotty was first after that, adding some melodic/rhythmic guitar magic to the mix. Stephen then blew the doors off of it when he added his melodic, dirty guitar to it. JJ was up next with his funky electric piano to fill it in. Chris then came in and added the trippy, swirling, psychedelic guitars. Mark also came along towards the end and added some really cool, but subtle percussion, and if you listen for it, a triangle in there, too.
  Of course every good song needs a good producer. Stephen was able to wrangle this into a good mix, thankfully. He also very cleverly came up with and added the psychedelic break in there between the first and second verses. Chris also added some really cool vocals to that part, too.
  This one was a lot of fun to make, and was our second song with Scotty, with whom we really enjoy making music. Josh named it such because he wanted the spirit of welcoming lots of musicians to come through. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Lost in the crowd
We're meeting after all
No digital
Our first Rendez-Vous
We were from cloud
But now we're physical
Don't tell me Baby!
I still can't believe I can touch you

Now it's for real
Can you feel
Your bodie's taking the shape of love
There's no deal
You can steal
My heart and soul with your velvet gloves

Will I survive the shock?
Of this new sensation
You made my world unlock
Like a revelation

You can be proud 
In love you made me fall
Forget it all
Do you feel it too?
Laughing out loud
We look hysterical
Oh come on Baby!
Don't you see
What's between me and you?

Now it's for real
Can you feel
Your bodie's taking the shape of love
There's no deal
You can steal
My heart and soul with your velvet gloves

Will I survive the shock?
Of this new sensation
You made my world unlock
Like a revelation

New Sensation

The Walrus Of Love

Produced by Sule Heitner
Written by Kathryn BERRY
A Patrón or Two
A couple of hours past Saturday night
You slip your hand between my thighs
As you lean across to grab a light
Sunday morning has arrived
The sheets are as tangled as your hair
Yesterday’s bad decisions, they are everywhere
Black mascara crease
Poster child for 90’s heroin chic
Chorus
No, I don’t need a man who’s strong
Who walks with fire and conviction
Don’t hold my hand
Just scratches my back
Cause I’ll still come back to you
After a Patron or two
The lights are dim, the curtains low
My body aches it needs u so
I can hear you breath
My muscles are weak
It’s a couple of hours past, I don’t give a fuck
I’m ready to jump
Risk that mess we might need to clean up
Chorus
No, I don’t need a man who’s strong
Who walks with fire and conviction
Don’t hold my hand
Just scratches my back
Cause I’ll still come back to you
After a Patron or two
Bridge
You got me falling and breaking and taking and starting again
You got me hiding and faking and hating then making amends
Ya, I still come back to you
After a Patron or two
Chorus
No, I don’t need a man who’s strong
Who walks with fire and conviction
Don’t hold my hand
Just scratches my back
Cause I’ll still come back to you
After a Patron or two x3

Just pull the car around.
And please let us know when your due to arrive.
cause they'll be dancing in the street.
from the moment you arrive.
It's been such a long time
Since I've held you

And they we drive along the ocean with your hair undone
and your suitcase strapped firmly on my back. 

And so we drive and drive and drive and drive
And so we drive and drive and drive and drive
And so we drive and drive and drive and drive

Just pull the car around.
And please let us know when your due to arrive.
cause they'll be dancing in the street.
from the moment you arrive.
Just pull the car around.
And please let us know when your due to arrive.
Just pull the car around.
And please let us know when your due to arrive.
cause they'll be dancing in the street.........

Dont' Give Up

Fly On

QUICK STATUS UPDATE: I admit, my autistic brain is really struggling with the world lately. I'm all about people taking the high road; and treating each other with love and compassion. I also assumed government, religions and businesses ran on some form of humanitarian ethics. 

Needless to say, a disturbingly large part of the world and I aren't seeing eye to eye lately. And because of my recent adventures with sobriety, I initially determined I needed to stop doing things that mess with my mental well being (like supporting businesses that don't function properly, and don't support their customers). 

But let's face it... this weirdness is happening pretty much everywhere. And hermitting my way through the rest of my life is not a healthy or productive option. I'm a creator... I feel my greatest sense of purpose when I'm creating... and I enjoy being able to share those creations. 

It also helps make my life feel more purposeful, knowing my music and writings may be doing some good in the world (a huge thanks to my SC friends for messaging me your thoughts. You inspired me to rethink my choices).

So long story short, I decided to keep my SC subscription going. Granted, I still need some time to reimagine how I can connect with this community. But for now, I think I'll at least keep things were they are. And you'll be happy to know new songs are already in the works. :)
