MAXINE - Mars Today X sayknowledge

The Angst / The Release

Produced/Composed by Chris Keys & Mars Today
Performed by Mars Today

Five over Three

'Softly' is the first single to drop from Will's forthcoming "Shade Furnace" EP. Will's voice and artistic vision is as pure as air, and I think we really achieved something special with this one, it's calming and grounding and from the heart. 

Written/performed/produced by Will & Me
Strings composed/performed by Felipe Pacheco 
Mixed by Jorge Gutierrez 
Mastered by Connor Dalton

Will Juergens X Mars Today - Softly

The second (and last) single to drop from Will Juergen's forthcoming "Shade Furnace" EP, Honey is a trippy, drippy, at times lo-fidelity banger complete with a Lou Reed-esque bass line and some a very ruckus outro. 

Fuck with us.

MILLION DOLLAR BABY REMIX

Probably my favorite song from the Vibe Called Quest album that I produced for @richiyala (fka sayknowledge), to hear more tracks from the album peep his soundcloud or hit the "buy" link. Ariel was originally composed with Benezra Tergis of @mobandomusic. I arranged the horns, programmed the drums, and produced/mixed the song. 

Featuring Balboa Becker (trombone), Rafa Postel (Trumpet), Daniel Casares of @Attakidmusic (Sax), @natemercereau (guitar).

Linked up with the talented homie @Krikit-boi-beats the other day and made this lil jammie. Enjoy at high volume for maximum effect. 

Krikit Boi & Mars Today - Whirled

Figured since I made a 150K, and a 250K, I should probably make a 350K. Thanks for listening, I truly appreciate your ears.

Summatime Fine (Prod. By Esta)

I originally uploaded the beat for this song as "Dem Apples" 7 months ago. The talented man @Masegomusic hit me on twitter saying he dug it, 20 minutes later (no lie) he uploaded the first version of "73 Degrees", which featured him trap-scatting and playing sax over the beat. I swung back around a few months later and asked if he was down to send me the stems of what he did so I could feature him on the "Tropical Fruit" project. He said he was down but could not find the original files, so he knocked out another (even cleaner) version of what he originally did and sent it over via carrier pigeon. Thus is the 100% true story of 73 Degrees.

73 Degrees Ft. Masego

In the interest of not entering 2016 with a bunch of unreleased music I decided to let this duet go. I wrote and recorded this years ago after a friends wedding. I was really touched by their vows, which they had written themselves. The vows were identical, yet somehow they sounded so different coming from male & female perspectives. So I wrote a duet where the verses are lyrically identical.. 

Features the vocal talent of @cait-la-dee, Nate Mercereau on Guitar, Chris Keys on additional Keys.

Johnny Yukon - Rounds (Mars Today Remix)

This story is about a creative workaholic who is too hyper-focused on manifesting life goals to be of any proper use as a boyfriend. But if the theoretical "she" can practice the art of patience, eventually they will be all ballin' and stuff, and live the exact lifestyle she desires. 

Even though, to keep it all the way real, the dude would probably just be a wealthier workaholic and "she" would still be pissed that they don't go out enough.
