First Exhale

been sittin' on this for near a year, picking away at the way over-complex mix...

out of the way, 
onto simpler things...

but a serious trip of its own.

may ye who listen shall be lifted into higher & deeper realms...
diving further into the soul...

The Realness

Martin East .feat Jared Douglas - Lead Me On (Rok Sivante Remix)

I can’t lie and say this wasn’t an incredibly awesome project to observe coming together...

T’was probably a couple years ago I was curious to experiment with a fusion of trap and rock. I had played around with a few ideas at the time, though wasn’t able to advance them to the point of being inspiring. Having taken a break from producing and just bringing back guitar into the picture, then this happened.

It first started out with the guitars... and I was borderline-ready to carry on to a different idea whSamplingen nothing was popping off. But then, I started experimenting with overlaying some drum loops. Next thing ya know... bam.

For possibly stupid reasons, I’ve tended to be resistant to the idea of using loops. Maybe cuz it’s not completely original, versus programming everything from scratch - some silly artistic qualm. Yet, when something like this happens... it’s time to rethink such an attitude. Cuz regardless, the final product is dope. So really, who gives a fuck. And after all, sampling loops has always been a staple of hip hop.

(And then again, there's a whole art and alchemy to working with loops, especially once multi-band compression comes into the picture... a whole other topic I'd be happy to geek out about, though probably not the time nor place.)

Yada yada yada...

As to where this project ends up, who knows. At this point, it’s still something of a sketch requiring a bit more development (and possibly the right vocalist). Nonetheless, I’m pretty happy with the way it’s turned out - massive, hard-driving, a well-rounded package of insanely-banging drums and huge guitars. Getting closer to the unique vibe & sound I’ve had in mind.

Without further ado, I invite you to listen on your best set of headphones or speakers for an optimized listening experience, as there are alot of details in the mix that are likely to be missed if listening on lower-quality equipment.

And of course, ENJOY... 😎

Beyond The Business

BIG, phat, hard... 

Seductively-gritty bass and guitars driving this, balanced with a kick that hits like a meteorite to the skull... 

T'was a wonderful pleasure putting this together, and may you ENJOY!
