Chemistry Of Life

This is the first door of my advent calendar – the song emerged out of one of my practice sessions on electric bass and is almost entirely played on that instrument. I added a little guitar and some synth at the end to fill it up.

Day 1 - Myco Molassi's Calendar of Sound

The second track's working title is "Extraterrestrial Lovemaking". I might work on it some more and release it on Spotify etc in the future... The bassline sounds like a synth but it's actually played on a real bass. 
The vocals are ripped from one of Peter Santanello's reportages on the East NY Projects where he talks to rappers Mitchell Aimss and Cashemere. Shoutout to him for making those great videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ5gNoOFUaw&t=420s

Extraterrestrial Lovemaking

Day 2 - Myco Molassi s Calendar of Sound

Exploring the sounds of the Fender Jazz Bass that i got from my uncle John. Wow! I got the inspiration when i accidentally bumped the headstock of the Bass againt my desk. Suddenly there was this beautiful droning pad sound. I had to record it!

Day 3 - Myco Molassi s Calendar of Sound

Kickstart your Monday on a chill note. If you know me, you know I can't resist Bossa Nova ;P Todays track is is a loop jam from one of my practive sessions on bass and guitar.

Day 4 - Myco Molassi s Calendar of Sound

This beat is fresh out of the bakery. I called it 'Chinese Wurstl' because when i started making it i sampled some Chinese Music and German schlager. After a while i found some other samples that fit the vibe better so I swapped them but i like the name. Made it this weekend and I'm really happy with the result. What do you think?

Day 5 - Myco Molassi's Calendar of Sound

Today is a bit different once again. This beat sketch is called "Old Powder" and is a bit more electronic than the music in last couple of days.

Day 11 - Myco Molassi's Calendar of Sound

When i recorded the guitars on this beat i had images of drug traffickers flying low over the jungle in their cessna to avoid the radar... The plane is loaded to the brim with blow. They are laughing and cracking jokes, telling anecdotes about the cops... adrenaline rushes and sweat running down their cheeks from the midnight heat. Track is called Narcos.

Narcos

Day 12 - Myco Molassi's Calendar of Sound

This beat is called "Electric Blanket" because it has that uncomfortable electrosmog type vibe! Any angry rappers out there?

Day 18 - Myco Molassi's Calendar of Sound

In 2021 i bought a Korg Kronos keyboard because i had seen that Scott Storch (one of my producer idols) uses it. I listened to some demo sounds online and it blew me away, so i got one second hand for a good price. This is the first beat i made entirely with Sounds from the Kronos. It really reminds me of Rick Ross's debut album 'Port of Miami'.

No Bad Days out now!

Myco Molassi, also known as Xylem Beats, is a multi-talented artist based in Bern, Switzerland. A skilled producer of boombap beats and a self-taught multiintrumentalist, Myco is known for his hypnotic basslines mixed with eclectic samples and recorded instruments. In addition to his work as a solo artist and DJ, Myco is also a founding member of the instrumental-focussed label Smokin Trees. He's the bass player of the neo soul band 'The Late Knights', that draws inspiration from jamming in a variety of genres, including hip hop, funk, jazz and reggae. Until 2022 he was responsible on the bass and production side of things for the garage-rock band 'The Mimozas' led by songwriter Gazmir Lipoveci.

Myco's passion for music extends beyond his own creative realm. In 2017, he helped create the 'Musikalischer Adventskalender' with his roommates in their livingroom. This project brought together a diverse group of local and international musicians from Iraq to Greece to create and share new music during the holiday season.

In April 2023 he released his debut instrumental the EP 'No Bad Days' with fellow producer and Smokin Trees member Mvny More. 

With a diverse range of interests and a strong commitment to collaboration and community, Myco Molassi is a dynamic artist who continues to not give a fuck.
