It's been a while, but here's some new music. I hope you all enjoy! This project features a lot sampled boom bap type stuff, calling back to my earlier years.

"New Destinations" has a lot of different meanings, but in short it's a bit of a reflection of my first 20 years of making music and what the next 20 might be. I've come to a time in my life where the goals of my early 20s don't quite mesh with the goals of my late 30s and I'm okay with that :). Happy to say that music in some form or fashion will still be part of my "New Destination".

My Long story:
In 2005 I came across a copy of FL Studio 4 and started making beats with no musical background, just armed with a laundry list of usual suspects for inspiration (Pete Rock, DJ Premier, 9th Wonder, etc.). Sampling primarily from great P2P programs like Kazaa and Bearshare, I moved on from downloading random MP3s and started chopping up records. After about a year of this, I felt a bit limited and wanted to explore other avenues, so I eventually started incorporating original instrumentation into my works. Along the way I began to rely more heavily on a broader list of musical influences from various genres. Within the realm of Hip Hop, some artists include The Roots, J Dilla, and 20Syl of Hocus Pocus. These three have had a very large influence on the sound that I present today, which primarily consists of original instrumentation, with traces of my earlier years of heavy sampling.
