I have a hard time classifying what 'Tattoo' is. The term "Remix" is commonly used these days, and yet I feel like it's not quite right for this track.

The vocals in 'Tattoo' are taken from Miguel's 'Girl With The Tattoo'; and once they were added, the track truly came alive. That being said, they were not the starting point, and were actually added quite late in the piece. The starting point was in fact a synth line which ended up being a reasonably minor component by the time the track was finished.

So what is it? A Mash-Up? A Re-Work?
Whatever it is, it marks a new chapter for me as a producer and as a person. A recent shift in musical direction has given me a renewed enthusiasm for music and a hunger to create.

I look forward to releasing many more new tunes in the future and hope to inspire people the way others have inspired me.
Peace.

Solar blood, falling down

The idea behind this track was thought up by the main man Native! 

His inspiration came when he watched the short film Sun Day. He decided to write the lyrics based on an imaginary letter from the little boy to his sister and we built the track around this. If you haven't seen the short then follow the link bellow, mute it (no disrespect to the original composer!) and press play on this. It's emotional believe me! 

The vocals were sung by native and the track was constructed by my self. As the song was so emotional and to tie it together with the a side of this release we got Yipping in to play some live Erhu (Chinese violin) for us and it sounds incredible. 

Out to the @substructaudio family for putting this out for us. Watch these guys!

Mountain Range - What Party?

AIN'T OVER MUSIC VIDEO: https://youtu.be/7V42VIONJl4

Those quiet tries, they mean something
Those tired eyes, they're worth something
And those grey skies, not fooled by no false pride, sweet lies
Always on our feet while we're still breathing 
Ain't gonna retreat, this fight is freein’
Looking for belief are you?
That dream I told ya, ain't ever over 
This world don't own us,
This dream ain’t over 
 
Those hollow sighs, they help somehow  
Those absent cries, they're heard somewhere
And those high times love ‘em
Lost as soon as they're found, lost as soon as they’re found,
No blind circumstance or lucky break 
This life we'll make, no one can take
That dream I told ya, ain't ever over 
This world don't own us,
This dream ain’t over

Ain't Over

From its opening notes ‘You, Me, Temporary’ announces itself as music from the soul reaching for the soul. The album recounts a modern day love story through the musical eyes of its protagonist, @SweatsonKlank. It’s a story of love in the fast lane that touches on the good – innocence, romance, lust, sex – and the bad – drugs, debauchery, loss of self, despair – before closing with the peaceful beauty that comes with total acceptance of what is. ‘You, Me, Temporary’ is Sweatson Klank’s third full-length album in 10 years, and it shows just how extensive the Los Angeles native’s artistic growth has been. The music tight ropes between electronic, hip hop and futuristic R&B, sidestepping obvious boxes while finding its own effortlessly. ‘You, Me, Temporary’ transcends genres, balancing the vulnerable and sensual with the rough and jagged. The album has an emotive and sometimes pressing quality, in direct opposition to today’s disposable music mania. The hypnotic interplay of chords, melodies and rhythms draws you in and is equally effective in headphones as it is on the dancefloor. The warmth of analogue equipment flirts with expert sampling and chops that evoke the playful soul of ‘90s R&B and the heartfelt angst of classic hip hop while remaining forward thinking.

A wide cast of vocal guests help recount the different tales and stages of this story: Vikter Duplaix / vikterduplaix, Ango / @AngoMusic, Selfsays, Doc Illingsworth / @Illingsworth, Deniro Farrar, Anna Wise / @AnnatheWise of Sonnymoon / @SonnymoonMusic and Pat Parra / @PatParra. Upbeat and energetic songs sit next to hypnotic ballads, the sort most conducive to ‘baby making’ you might even say. The music is often elating, sexy and at times dreamy but also progresses to show melancholy and despondency in the sincerest way. Sometimes playful, sometimes serious the vocal tracks add a human dimension to the story that ‘You, Me, Temporary’ tells, completing its message and taking the album to that proverbial next level.

With this third album Sweatson Klank puts aside self-indulgence for simple honesty and the maturity that only comes with being a seasoned artist. ‘You, Me, Temporary’ tells a timeless story in a compelling way, and while its title hints at the trials and tribulations behind relationships, the overt concept lies in the impermanence of everything around us.
