RoboRob - 4 Chords Coffee Creamer (feat. Shady Monk)

Minor Joy

Enigmatic Walk (feat. Shady Monk)

[ 1 / 23 / 19 ]

A year ago today, I met a girl who would change my life forever. This song goes to her. 

You've helped me grow so much, there's nothing I could ever do to repay that, I'm simply so grateful to have you in my life, and to have been touched by your spirit. The connection we share will blossom no matter what storms we face together. I love you eternally. 

[ 12 / 13 / 20 ] - love hurts. Things ended over a year ago. I still love this person but our paths have diverged. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was flowing with great precision before  you crept in to my life
And now I'm faced with these big decisions, they'll have to wait for one more night
One more night~

You've helped me up when I've been down
Took me in as your own
There's no thanks nor apologies worth the love that you've grown
Oh yeah
Worth the love that you've grown
Worth the love that you've grown
Worth the love that you-

My eyes closed, I read your body like braille with my fingertips
We're exposed, I feel you on me with a fire between our hips
Just as I was getting comfortable, you set me off and made me vulnerable
Just as I was ready to accept, you came along and made me second guess
I was flowing with great precision before you crept in to my life
And now I'm faced with these big decisions (big decisions), they'll have to wait for one more night
Worth the love that you've grown
Worth the love that you've grown
Worth the love that you-

Worth the love that you've grown
Worth the love that you've grown~

Worth the love that you've grown

Worth the love that you've grown~

Beat Commission: totodilelad - "Custom PKMN Battle Theme - Desert"

Thankfully, despite the hardships i've been going through due to my gear being stolen, I have some of my more recent tunes saved as private tracks here on Soundcloud. Here is one of the comissions I was fortunate enough to complete before my mishap. Lennart supplied me with a simple melody that they wanted me to expand on and make into a fuller tune. I would have liked to release a longer more in depth version, but my client was satisfied with this cut when I sent it to them, and seeing as I won't be able to work on it further without my trusty laptop, I'd rather the work I did do see the light of day. <3

Lyrics:

i was treading in the sea
fastened to the fable of an island made of green

and i was threading through my seams
tangled in the fabric of a fleeting fever dream

far beyond my mind's fixation
there are fascists making factions of their fucked up brigades

and im a sad little boy
playing with childhood toys
and fluoxetine joys

in the fashion of a

i'm the sad little mouth
screaming without a sound
oh! hold me dear, I wallow out in vain

i'm the perilous weight
pinning you to the gate
as metal coils clash and call out your name

just when you think i'm gonna stop
im winding up these frail chains for one more good time romp

cause you're such a class act
such a lad, such a snack
when your fiction is fact
in the fashion of a

Noteworthy things:

FLOOR BABA - WIGGLECORE (Shady Monk Spreemix)

[THIS REMIX IS UNOFFICIAL]

Had this song by @elitaharkov(aka 'yungelita') stuck in my head since I heard it a week ago. Had to make an edit. Hope you enjoy. ~

Elita - Perverted (Shady Monk "Scary Mask" Remix)

A hop, skip, and a laptop ago, I started this remix and aimed to release it a hell of a lot sooner, but life did it's thing. Nevertheless, I was able to salvage what existed of this remix I used in my 'EDGE' radio takeover mix from earlier this year. I'm happy to finally be dishing this out, and hope you enjoy this edit on one of my favorite tunes from my favorite Chilean alpaca sweater wearing musical mastermind, Varra.

ＳｐOOｋｙ ＳＴＵＦＦ (氏スケルトン) ４２０ Ｋｂｐｓ (Shady Monk Keymix)

@666fuckthecops released a new track and gave anyone who wanted to a chance to remix it. This is my remix. I added vocals from the late Wayne Static, off the Static-X track of the same name, 'Push It'. 'Keep Disco Evil'~

666FUCKTHECOPS - PUSH IT (SHADY MONK 'STATIC' MIXXX)

One of my first commissions from back before my gear got stolen around June! Twistwood, the ever so talented mastermind behind the gut bursting web series, 'Captain Macbastard', approached me for a jingle commission that would fit the vibe of the web comic for a particular scene.~ (More on that later!)

I had a blast working on this one, as it's pretty far from the usual aural pallet I generally tend to stick to. 

You can read/catch up on all things 'Captain Macbastard' and support Twistwood's work here: https://tapas.io/episode/156934

Beat Commission: Twistwood - "The Chase!"

Wordy Magician (@dawordymagician on twitter) approached me to craft them a beat much like something I would have cooked up for my 'WEEKLY BEATS' series, as well as pulling influence from my 'HyperKart Racer' singles, and this is the result! I'm actually pretty pleased with how this one turned out. It's amazing how a small loop in my head can lead to so many ideas. Never hold yourself back from trying new things out and taking risks with your production techniques! <3

Shady Monk & FLOOR BABA - Dreamy Desert

Boyfriend ft. TOFUKU (Shady Monk Remix)

My close friend @suleiman_music just released their debut 'INITIATE' EP on Nov 27th, 2019. I was fortunate to be present for the conception of many of the tracks that wound up making the release, as we lived together for a period of time when the beginnings of the EP were under way. It was hard for me to pick a track to rework, given how inspiring each track was to me, but I settled on the closer, 'Tension', and gave it a more classical approach with a heavy dance outro. Hope you all enjoy this little number.~
