A little heard neo-classic finally let out of the dub Station One archives, (People) Eff-Kay -- formerly named Eff-Kay People -- started off as a Fruity Loops beat Mikey made at Freestyle Steve's house, if my memory serves me correctly. And the lyrics may or may not have been recorded at Bennie Bluntz' 8th Street Ghetto Wizard Studio. However, the cheese factor here for me, personally, are samples from a 2000-2001 New Years party. These samples appear courteously of big Poet One, who was taping that wonderful evening at the Eff-Kay Mansion (as we affectionately called it). With Sheena leading the party crowd in cheering up the party as an "Eff-Kay Productionnnnn!" at the start of the song, and my boy, Syght, closing out this banger with his own enthusiasm, it may not be an anthem, yet, but it's set to set any party off! I'd like to add I wrote the chorus, which J-Bird thought was pretty cool, then Mikey had this beat, while (I'm pretty sure) we were all having a smoke session, and, well, after some studio magic, (People) Eff-Kay is the magical end result. A great musical collab with many elements to make it what it is. (And just like what Eff-Kay was like back in the day.)

Space Flight FTL is a little somethun I made at the same time and as a companion track to Ludicrous Speed GO!, in which it was originally supposed to be a bridge, but I felt it switched up the vibe too much amid that song. So, here it is, on its own, the low key ear worm that it is.

Here's a little something from my 2005 jungle set, called Crack-e Cricket. It's a tiny (sonic) tale of a cricket that did crack, LSD, 'shrooms, ecstasy, (or "E" as its known,) and probably some other substances, too, candy flippin', to get all cracked out. I'll let you decided what happened during its intense drug trip though....

Jungle! Jungle!

The ninth track off my actual fifth album, Jungle! Jungle!, compiled back in 2005, Demon Slayer is who I was back then and still am to this day, if in a bit different way. More Solomon than damnation for those I take in hand. Making you pay in jewels, while you also build my temple. A true sound design, embedded in the subconscious, staring at you through the mask. Mine or yours? I scoff at that question. Can you perceive all that is vibrating the air around you? Here, birdie-birdie....

This is a random track I didn't know I had a copy of, but I'm glad I do, since it's a slam'n low key banger! While I'm not sure of the details, I think Wang made this track sometime back in 2003 or maybe even in '04, as it's from of one of my random 8th Street archives. Wang was making so many tracks left and right back then and, for me, this one got lost in the shuffle of them all, so I'm glad to bring it to light the dance floor with that peculiar and infectious John Wang style.

A test track I did a quite few years ago I was suppose to do an animated talk show of, called "Talking Heads," that I never quite got around to animating. I recorded this track back when I didn't know that my mic was messed up. Also, when I tried to clean up the original recording, (heard here,) with the Noise Reduction effect in Audacity, it ended up with this weird electronic garble that permiates the background of the track. Then again, I ..might.. have done that on purpose as a nod to ole c-z-s showing up.... ;D Enjoy!

Talking Heads - 1st Edition

A quick rap track with my friend https://soundcloud.com/john_wang from back in 2005 or '06-ish, I believe, that was made not long before he moved to Denver. As he says in his lyrics, "it's another "minute to make," as he was making little tracks like this with all of the artists he worked with. I threw in the samples, from the 1988 version of Akira, to help escalate the song as a whole.

You Want It (2-High) by John Wang w/ Kurt-thee-Inducer

Continuing on with our review of classic dub Station One bangers, we now are blessed with the Heaven’s Rain, off of my sixth album “The 45th Degree,” released in late 2005. An all time favorite, it is my hard hitting dub of an original hip hop track named “Enigmatic,” made by Supa Dave, of Ellipse Orbit, on my trusty MC-505, a year or two prior to this particular recording. Bass heavy, this track is a quick moving sonic storm forever dedicated to the fruits of the rainy season. Enjoy!

Heaven's Rain

This is one of my favorite tracks that I ever made. It has a swank vibe that's like good love'n, accentuated by the dubbing. That was done in my original live style as the track played back. Enjoy! (Note: After listening to this track, I am sorry if the highs get screechy here and there. I didn't noticed that problem before I posted this track, and I am working to fix it. End note.)

5th Session

dub In Love, Again (God Bless dub)

My absolute favorite live mixed track ever! Another original banger by Supa Dave, The Heavenlies (Beyond Stratosphere) is from my 2004-ish era of production. I mixed this pattern off of my Roland D2 in a way that I normally don't, that is to say Live, as opposed to sequencing it out, and it only took me two tries to get this mixed the way I wanted it. It's easily another one of my Top 5 favorite tracks I've ever produced, too, which is a tie of a great many tracks. Anyway, check out The Heavenlies (Beyond Stratosphere), and enjoy the enfloating! :D

Inna Space is the first really hard studio dub I created, way back in 2003 or '04-ish. The problem before was I could never get a good enough recording of it to capture its incredible dynamic range while keeping its sound level up to par, too. Well, after years of figuring things out, this track now retains it's hard dance feeling, while also being acceptably loud in this 2023 Master. Enjoy, and don't forget to Like, Share, and Subscribe if you haven't already, And thank you for your support! ✊ I couldn't do it without you. 🙏
