For about 4 years I asked Rawtekk if I could do a remix of my favortie song "To Be A Space monkey", and to my surprise they were happy to send me the multi tracks.

After a quick start I had to move my studio to another location, which created a considerable delay and left the production in limbo. As soon as I had the new studio back up and running, I continued my work, but kind of put myself in a corner with a lot of tempo changes and too much effects. 

I sent Rawtekk the result, but wasn't happy myself, and decided I would put the track on the shelve for a while to gain some perspective. Now, two years later, and a lofty 4 years after receiving the multi tracks, the remix is finally ready!

Damn I'm slow :)

Rawtekk - To Be A Space Monkey (Leisure B remix)

Lyrics:
I get angry, for the wrong reasons
Keep it real, but it creates the distance
Draw conclusions on my false thesis
created a safe haven

from evil intent, off the planet I went
now I’ve forgotten why
Searching the sound is where I lost myself
Breaking my balls to get by

I get on with all the wrong results
Keep it real, but still increase the distance
Keep conclusions from my false pretence
Breaking a safe event

For me to attend, the time that I spent
Now I’ve a reason why
Searching the sound is where I boost myself
Taken my wings to get high

I don’t like it
I dont’ like it
Where’s he from
Where’s he from

I don’t like it
I don’t like it
Where’s he from now
How you know how
Do you know how
How you know how
Where’s he from now

I don’t like it
Where’s he from now
I don’t like it
How you know how

Now my sound is the motherfu%$ing $hit, got out of bounds but I’m back for a bit
New direction, from a place with no relations, a face without reflection, an open invitation, really
I stay sharp from my head to my toes, keep my window wide open and the cain from my nose
You see is the spikes, but I’m feeling the strain, brand new me right on top of his game

Shout out to Black.Xtal!

Right, so who told him to stay?
Noone told his ass to get the fuck away
he’s just too big, his mouth too loud for the crowd
and as for now he prefers to remain

sure as hell don’t care what them other folk sayin
their opinion always swayin
today it’ll be the gays, tomorrow someone other
he can’t seem to figure out

why to even bother, and the focus always lacks
tells them do their thing whatever,
but be sure keep their shitty little chatter of his back
forever

no one ever told him
to bring it out that big
’s just how it happened
with a little poke of a  stick

escalating every situation
sure to be at each turn making fun of god's creation
gentle giant flow,
and a broken nose bone
from a long time ago

that’s a toys point of view
but compared to the planets,
he sure ain’t nothing new
hangin’ round in the back, drinking beer
hoping for a person with a soul to even care
so he can shatter all the chatter

Chatter

Waiting for your hollow words
While staring at this open door
It never shuts but asks for more.
Still wanting to see the light.
Disappear from your eyes.
You empty motherfucker….

he no longer has that much to say
assist the peoples, send them on their way
send them on their way

no one left to say a prayer for
no one left to rest their head
gravity has left them stomping mad
gravity has left him something mad

Gravity

Monolog Rockstars’ latest single can be considered an artistic impression of the sometimes quite volatile state of mind experienced by the band’s lead singer Ramon Lookman. A rough mix of beats, synthesizers and expressive vocals gives rise to a dark and brooding base for the icey and explicit vocal parts.

Out Of The Fray

Monolog Rockstar’s new track Headwind is a mix of lo-fi rap and post funk, combined with a classical metal type vocal line which tells the story of the incredible challenges people face in their lifetime. As always, they manage to combine extremely modern elements with an original composition style and deep lyricism.

In the future within a quiet corner of the universe, beings had discovered a remarkable phenomenon known as the dream nexus. It all began when a group of scientists stumbled upon a way to calibrate dreams. Soon after, inhabitants of the world realized they could communicate with each other on a subconscious level, forging connections that transcended the boundaries of wakefulness. The dream nexus became a shared realm where individuals could meet, converse, and collaborate in a realm woven from the fabric of their collective imagination. This such place revealed ancient memories buried in the collective unconscious, remnants of forgotten civilizations, and the echo chamber of information long lost to time. The dream nexus was the means for this flourishing society to create new languages, as well as expand on means of communication amongst the masses without physically moving an inch.

Dream Nexus: Calibration

Humanworkshop is a loose collective of electronic music producers and audio professionals.

We are a label, manufacturing and releasing CD and vinyl albums alongside offering free MP3 downloads of exclusive tunes and DJ/live recordings. We are an audio services company, producing content for any conceivable form of online and offline media. And we are a blog and e-zine, writing and publishing articles related to audio production, music composition and new media.

As a music collective and netlabel, we aim to cover a wide area of electronica and beats genres without being part of any particular scene. We are not a dubstep label, not drum and bass collective; rather we like to look at ourselves as a group that combines virtually any modern style with more authentic and traditional music. We are interested in music that merges contemporary production with samples and recordings of 'real-world', physical instruments.

As an audio services company, we like to think we are a versatile bunch of professionals, able of producing sound design and music tailor-made to the wishes of our clients. We have worked for big and small clients alike, ranging from the BBC, Nike to non-profit, government funded projects.

Humanworkshop was established in 2000 by Daan Hendriks, Gerrit Elbrink and Remus Ockels, then first year Audio Design students at the HKU in Hilversum. In 2009, we merged with netlabel and e-zine Fant00m in a move to expand our range and offer more quality content. As a result of this merger, Durk Kooistra entered the core team of Humanworkshop.

We are all about collaboration, so whoever you are and whatever you do, if you feel a connection to our activities and would like to talk to us, then please don't hesitate to get in touch!
