Recorded in Echo Park, CA. 12/1/98 - Based on events that transpired at 875 S Bundy Dr in Brentwood CA that changed my life and the lives of many others back in '95. Dude fucked up and fucked us all up in the process. Fuck you OJ.
Very rough recording using primitive equipment by todays standards.

Dont Be Late - (Diaz - Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Drums) original raw demo 1998

Recorded in Los Angeles some time around 12/15/95 on a Fostex X-18 
4 track cassette deck, so this is as raw as a demo gets! I was living in Highland Park in an old house that was built in 1916, with a big hill in my backyard with a reservoir on top and indian artifacts buried everywhere.

A song about my adventure traveling to Area 51, Groom Lake Nevada on Easter Sunday of 1995 with a couple of friends.

We climbed Tickaboo Peak, which is the closest view you could get of the base from a high elevation point. Saw the mothership in broad daylight and caravans of trucks heading off into the desert from the base.

Not gonna lie, that place is fkn evil. You could feel it in the air and sometimes even see it in the sky.

Area 51 - (Diaz - Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Drums) - original raw demo 1995

A song finished on 12/24/15 and released two days later on the 26th. It is a song about finding your way between the material and the spirit realms where sexual energy is balanced and self love is attained.

Spirit Matter - (Diaz, Vocals, Guitars, Bass) - original

Written and recorded during the week of 3/20 - 3/26, 2016. This song was inspired by a long session listening to The Clash and also by the streets of Echo Park.

Snake Eyes - (Diaz, Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Keys) - original

This track was conceived written and recorded in only two ten hour nights and days between 3/27/16 and 3/28/16. It was a real workout on the bass.

In My Room - (Diaz - Vocals, Guitars, Bass) - Brian Wilson Cover

This track signaled a departure from my usual melancholy indie songs and pushed the metal agenda to the forefront. Recorded in the Diaz studio between 9/10/14 and 9/16/14 in. Special thanks to drummer extraordinaire John Halicki for drums and arranging. He basically sent me a file of this drum solo and I wrote the whole song around it. I know it sounds like it was recorded through a potato, sorry guys!!

Welcome to  Part 2. I will be uploading here now!! Here is the link to my 47 previous tracks! It has been a very busy year! https://soundcloud.com/real-diaz I produced over 40 songs last year and am busy here into winter! You are welcome to browse my catalog using the link above!----I am a Los Angeles local, born and raised, Metal, Classic Rock, Progressive, Folk, Jazz - Fusion Lead/Rhythm Electric/Acoustic Guitarist, Bassist, Keys, Singer, Songwriter and Producer. I am "Real" Diaz and have been writing and producing music for over 30 fukn years! I don't f**k around. I do it with no major label backing either!! Major labels don't do shit for me so I depend on an independent underground following of people who choose to listen on their own because they like it, not because it is force fed to them.

I have a slew of recordings, and was the leader of the bands "Scrotos" and "Gremory" in the 90's along with fronting "The Peekers" I'm also one of the founding members of funk legends "Zenbugi", having recorded, produced and performed with them between 98 and 2000. Currently I am focusing on my metal career and collaborating.

I have seen the greats perform in my lifetime, from Pink Floyd to Miles Davis, J Page & R Plant, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Jethro Tull, Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Iron Maiden, Dio, Scorpions, Journey, Allman Bros, Deep Purple, Boston, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, NiN, Pantera, Napalm Death, Sepultura, Carcass, Ravi Shankar, Beck, Clapton, Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, King Diamond, Slayer, and hundreds more. My musical memory banks are like a rock/jazz encyclopedia. I hope to add my two cents into the timeline of great music. I started here on Soundcloud with nothing and now have built a solid fan base, so thanks to all who have participated on this journey!!

I am available for collaboration, session work, live performances and instruction. I produce from my home studio in Echo Park, CA.
