What started out as a simple chord progression jam on a Hydrasynth Deluxe after programming an ambient soundscape pad became the inspiration for this track.

I previously uploaded a work-in-progress version as "Jilted On Prom Night" but decided to rename it.

Gear used:  ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe, Sequential OB-6, Sequential Take 5, Moog Werkstatt-01, Elektron Model:Samples

A Space Station Is Dying

I wrote this ambient/chillout hybrid in 2016, and remixed it in mid-2022. I swapped the original B2 reverb for CSR Hall, replaced the IK EQs with EQuivocate and made some small changes to  the EQ/panning and levelling. I have mastered the track in T-Racks 5.

Big ups to The Untz - https://www.theuntz.com/news/kanizzle-taps-rider-shafique-for-danger-on-mochipet-project/

I was getting ready to fly back from a gig (and chasing waterfalls) on Maui in January when @Mochipet texted me and asked me to be a part of this Acid Bass compilation he was dreaming up that would support MAPS.  I said sure, of course, psychedelics are coooool….and almost the entire track came together on that flight.  Due to some indirect magic courtesy of @annamorgan_dj and @thebeatkitty , I got connected to @rider-shafique at right around the same time and of course this seemed like the perfect opportunity to collab with one of the dopest mc’s in the solar system.  This song has actually been done since February and just needed a little love on the mix, but in my other life I’m the marketing director at a natural foods supermarket in Taos, NM and pandemic life has me slackin on the music tip and grindin on that grocery lyfe tip.  So, finally, here it is!  Happy Thanksgiving!  Please wear a mask!
