"This no be trap!"  

OK, did any of you Interbay followers have downtempo dub reggae ska afrobeat techno drill chill on your bingo card for today?  

Believe me, I'm as surprised as you are!  

Some of you may have noticed that I do like the titles of Interbay tracks to start with every letter of the alphabet in somewhat similar ratios--which is a bit difficult with some of the higher point value letters in Scrabble.  So, I knew I wanted to come up with a track with a title that started with the letter "Q".  

...so, my brain starts spitting out Q-words and I land on Quebec.  "What do I know about Quebec?"  

I've never been there--I should.  But I was surprised by how much I knew about the Canadian province--and my brain, ever trained for comedy potential, thought...it doesn't know anything about me.  

Thus, the germ idea for this song was discovered.  But that still doesn't explain how we ended up with the song dropped today.  

French drill bars having nothing to do with Quebec (though the repeated phrase of "pull up slide" informed the thumbnail image)  I through some saturation on those vocals and it reminded me of some of the dub reggae I would hear at Madison, Wisconsin record stores--stores that were tuned to the local community funded public radio station, which I think was WORT-FM.  I don't listen to too much dub reggae (more of a 2-Tone ska fan)...but it was intriguing to work with that influence in mind.  

So, I threw some echo on that vocal.  I came up with the drum patterns.  I came up with the synth patch that sounds like organs (though there are actual organs on here, too--in the faster sections).  I came up with the synth bass and the disco bass guitar parts.  (There's a sub bass section, as well as the afrobeat guitar part--those are samples.)  It came together nicely--a lot easier than I thought it could, considering how this is a genre I've never really attempted before.  

Then, it got interesting.  I put an effect on the vocal--but the effect basically made the vocals impossible to understand (not like it'll be easy for you to decipher distorted and echoing lyrics in French to begin with, assuming that French isn't your native tongue.)  So, I duplicated the vocal, but only put the effect on one of the two--and that's where you get the swirling and slightly glitchy synth noises that put the techno into this track.    

I liked it.  But I didn't think I was done.  So, I wrote lyrics and I got them voiced...but I was conflicted.  

It worked.  But, it changed the vibe.  It went from being a dub reggae-style track to beinga dub reggae-style track smothered by too many spoken vocals.  I liked the space the version before the vocals had.  So, after I produced the version with the full vocal--I went back and took those vocals (mostly) out.  So, I had a vocal version and a dub version.  

If I was still posting tracks on Facebook, I'd post them both--but as I'm posting a track a day here on SoundCloud, I chose the dub mix as the one to drop today.  (Maybe when I open up my Patreon, that b vocal version will become e a bonus track only for Patrons--it is different, longer, with slightly different arrangement and instrumentation.)  

I hope you listen to "Quebec Doesn't Know Anything About Me" (dub) and like it!  (And if you do, give it a like!  Repost or share it!  Add it to a playlist!  Leave a comment!)  

And the best holiday gift you could get me would be for you to follow this page!  
(Not really, there's a bunch of really expensive music gear I asked Santa for...but, realistically, a follow is all I could ask you for.)  

New Interbay every day and a follow earns a follow back!  :)  (See, it's a gift for you, too, in exchange!

PROD/MIX BY: SANTO

LYRICS:
There is nothing you can do to try to scare me and leave this place 
Baby I’m so high will I ever feel the same 
I promise I’m trying to change
But no one knows how good this taste 
I wish you knew what’s in my head every time you say my name 
But I wouldn’t want to bring you in this life that’s full of pain 
You deserve the fucking world and every planet that they made 
All I’ll ever do is fill you up with all my fucking hate 
Let me sit right here and watch the people start to cry and break 

Fuck it  Im trying to quit 
I’m trying to live without any mix 
I am possessive with my bag of my tricks 
The man in the mirror don’t even exist 
I cannot  resist this bitch is my gift 
I cursed my life when we both gave a kiss
Falling alone inside of my myth Im feeling nirvana Im feeling her bliss
I think I’m in love with the look in her eyes 
She’s screaming at me to give her my life 
I’m losing myself I cannot survive 
I’m hurting my mother I’m making her cry 
Taking her money for trips to the sky 
Loving the feeling I can’t ever lie 
Fuck all your feelings I’m worried of mine 
If you want me to die I’ll help you tonight
