🚨 The first single from my EP "Protocol" releasing through @MonasteryRecords 🚨

https://monasteryrec.bandcamp.com/album/protocol

At Protocol, we know what you want, even before you do

Experience and ͟ connections, how much do you want? Where would you like to go? How much does it cost? At Protocol we take what you have and év͠o̵̕lv̷ ̴é͠ it. Memories and fantasies mutate with each other.
̷̡
Why live with questions or responsibilities? Taking parts of an incomplete puzzle i̧n̵s̷̕idé ̨you͞ and making your dęs̼i̪r̯e͝s͝ whole.

Don't l͜ív̨͞e̛̕͘͜ on the rejection level. See what you want. Create what you need. Manufacture a world that echoes p͝ǫşitiv̵̶i̸ty͘. Protocol can grow with you, asking for ńò̶thįn͟͡g̀ for a nighţ of true pl҉e҉͜a͠śư͘r͞e̵̵. 

How many sȩ̨ń̢sàt͘ión̶s҉ can you take at once? Here the “cat” is i͟m͟͜m̡͢o̕rt̸͘ a̵̴l҉ĺ and curiosity is a virtue. Escaping is not just a
fantasy. IT҉͘͡'̶̧ S͞ ̛ N̛ ҉O͡͠ T ͜ A͞ ͢ Ṕ͜O͠ SŚ̨ I̧B̧ILIT͡ Ý̴.́͢

wilmington on friday night 
drank old crow until dawn 
murphy's dogs wouldn't let us sleep 
and there was sand all over my fucking car 

i had never seen the south before 
and i've seen enough of it now 
we laughed to death, we smoked to death 
we sang to death and we went to bed 

when it goes 
there won't be a single thing left of you 
when it's gone 
nothing can ever replace 
all of your damaged DNA 

i stole your lighter and played your songs 
and i pushed you in the dirt 
i hope you never let your babies listen 
to nothings or listen to anything 

i was the king of nothing 
my hair thinned on the crown 
woke up five years later with ocean 
water rushing over my head 
another year another drop 
it never slows down 
it never stops 

when it goes 
it'll go with every piece you had 
when it's gone 
time is real estate you can't buy back 
when it goes 
nothing can ever replace 
it's just damaged DNA

Damaged DNA

Beat Commission: totodilelad - "Custom PKMN Battle Theme - Desert"

grace's dawn

Thankfully, despite the hardships i've been going through due to my gear being stolen, I have some of my more recent tunes saved as private tracks here on Soundcloud. Here is one of the comissions I was fortunate enough to complete before my mishap. Lennart supplied me with a simple melody that they wanted me to expand on and make into a fuller tune. I would have liked to release a longer more in depth version, but my client was satisfied with this cut when I sent it to them, and seeing as I won't be able to work on it further without my trusty laptop, I'd rather the work I did do see the light of day. <3

Beat Commission: Lennart - "This World Is Ours"

One of my first commissions from back before my gear got stolen around June! Twistwood, the ever so talented mastermind behind the gut bursting web series, 'Captain Macbastard', approached me for a jingle commission that would fit the vibe of the web comic for a particular scene.~ (More on that later!)

I had a blast working on this one, as it's pretty far from the usual aural pallet I generally tend to stick to. 

You can read/catch up on all things 'Captain Macbastard' and support Twistwood's work here: https://tapas.io/episode/156934

Beat Commission: Twistwood - "The Chase!"

Wordy Magician (@dawordymagician on twitter) approached me to craft them a beat much like something I would have cooked up for my 'WEEKLY BEATS' series, as well as pulling influence from my 'HyperKart Racer' singles, and this is the result! I'm actually pretty pleased with how this one turned out. It's amazing how a small loop in my head can lead to so many ideas. Never hold yourself back from trying new things out and taking risks with your production techniques! <3

I tell the story of the rise of one of my favorite disco stars of all time: Andrea True!!

Disco In-Porno: How Fidel Castro Inadvertently  Helped a Porn Star Become a Disco Queen

Arès

"Higher Self" was written by singer/songwriter Jenny Florinicia and guitarist/bassist John McDermott on a sunny August day in 2019 at Rittenhouse Square Park in Philadelphia. Both graduates of the University of the Arts in Philly, Jenny studied Musical Theatre Performance and John studied Bass Performance. This song is a spiritual anthem for Jenny, based off of the yoga philosophy she learned in her Teacher Training at Motherheart Yoga Sangha in Fishtown.

Higher Self

Monastery Records Presents:

"VARI-TECH VOL.1: FIRST MASS"

The first in a series of techno / house based various artist compilations.

Each artist was tasked with answering the question, "What does techno mean to you?" Naturally, we expected everyone to interpret this prompt from their own personal context and perspective, yielding a plethora of different results and vibes (all of which will make you want to move on the dance floor), whilst maintaining a consistency through out that we could only have hoped to achieve, but definitely didn't anticipate!

We've long been eager to bring this project to fruition, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome of this first installment.
