Cognitive dissonance

After a little break Maloon TheBoom is back with “Remixes from the 404 “ 

The whole concept was to take tracks from modern and classic rap songs and put them in a new context of jazzy laid back classy timeless feels. In typical Maloon TheBoom style he started playing accapellas on his SP 404 and then added the whole beat to the accapella whilst the accapella were still running. He would do this at live shows and people seemed to love it and after numerous requests for the tracks Maloon TheBoom finally recorded the songs from the SP. The remix tape has some of modern rap and hip hop’s biggest hits from Cardi B, Migos, Future, Skepta, Nicky Minaj, Missy Elliot and even 2017’s viral hit "Mans Not Hot" from Big Shaq. 

“I chose acapellas which gave me a chance to represent the song in a new light, give them a different feel and make them accessible to people who wouldn’t necessarily listen to the original track. Others I just chose because I was keen to do a remix” – Maloon TheBoom 

The opening track on the tape is Nipsey Hussle and Dom Kennedy’s “Don’t Forget Us” and is Maloon’s tribute to Nipsey Hussle. 
“We won’t forget him and we won’t forget what he did for the industry. He is an inspiration to a lot of up and coming rappers and showed them how you can do your own stuff and own your own stuff and be the master of your own music and destiny…” – Maloon TheBoom 

Maloon TheBoom is already working on a new remix tape and is also planning to release the instrumentals to the “Remixes from the 404”

(Brandon Ruffin), known as Ruff Draft, in the post ambient, tech industrial era of music is an imposing, experimental producer from San Francisco, California. Musical blood ties to artist David Ruffin of the (Temptations) may explain the sometimes soulful play between harmony and discord in the collage like dissonance that is Ruffin’s music.

Ruff Draft, with a firm foundation in Nu-Jazz, Soul, and Hip-Hop, has released several projects which set you onto a Plutonian adventure of melodic chimes and space traffic, Draft bends ambiance music into Jazzy improvisation like sweet and sour, hard candy in tracks that follow lines that resemble hump-back arches.

A strong representative of the Oakland Electronic/Experimental scene, Ruff Draft is a resident musician at  San Francisco's (RESONATE) and Founder of the rising (ROOTNOTE COLLECTIVE)and member of the (ALPHA PUP RECORDS) roster. Ruff Draft shares collective input and his a member of the following collectives (Potholes Music, Modern Filth, 10Thirty Records, and ELLT). Ruff Draft has gained the ears and respect by those who nod there heads to the journey of his space jazz vibes--RuffDraft keeps it no secret that his sound is highly influenced by the instrumental magician of sound Flying Lotus. But make no mistakes about Ruff-Draft's sound, though production influences such as Flying Lotus, J-Dilla, and MF Doom, can be heard in RuffDraft's melodies, his compositions live in a space all of their own.

"Im so highly influenced by FlyLo, Dilla, Doom, Pete Rock, and so many other great producers that one of the more difficult things at times is really pulling back--getting space from the track, and making sure that the songs I write have a true identity of their own--I just make music that I would listen to."

Ruff Draft has shared the stage with the likes of Mono/Poly (Brainfeeder), Odd Nosdam (Anticon), Dibia$e(10Thirty), Eprom(Rwina), Inightful (Soulection), Jonwayne (Stones Throw) several member of the infamous (TeamSupreme) and many other notable and talented musicians. His live performances are blissfully intoxicating experiences that intertwine galactic tones and tribal patterns which provide a cadence for the soul. Ruff Draft has shared his live experience with crowds at (Low End Theory LA), (Beat Cinema LA), (Bear Trap SF), (Resonate SF), (Beat Church SF).

Step into his dimension, breath in the atmosphere that shrouds his planet, let his melodies and spacey deep baselines fill your lungs, and prepare to be under the influence of his delightfully addictive sound.
