A collection of all my finished works released in 2024. (including production for others)

[You'll see me post lots of things to my SoundCloud that won't get put here, as those usually are just sketches, or unfinished works in progress, and may be added here upon completion!]

2024 RELEASES + PRODUCTION

When @aminabanks shared that she was seeking remixers for an upcoming single, I immediately hopped on the chance to try creating something special. We enlisted the help of our friend @ienne-yixst, who provided new verses and vocal content for the remix version, and together I think we all accomplished what I'd set out for! <3

Amina - Estrogen Euphoria (Shay. 'Switch' Mix feat. ienne)

My final release of 2024, a remix for my friend @jennyflorinicia. This came about sort of by accident. Jenny had asked if I would help mix down her original track, but there was a slight misunderstanding on my part, and I wound up creating an entire remix version, so we decided to finish both versions off and release them as a package deal!

@SubCorv returns to HyperPop Records with their second single offering 'Eyes', following their January 2024 release 'Transcend', and yet again featuring vocal contributions from HyperPop Records label head 'Shay.' (@shadymonk). We're stoked to see the return of this talented artist!

[Distro' unfortunately hit a snag so this track will be available on other streaming services relatively soon!]

SubCørv - Eyes (Feat. Shay.)

What can I say. @sebastian1-music's original 'Embody' track is burned into the brains of many in my generation. Given that I've been on a UKG kick as of late, it was only a matter of time, but I gotta say, this track was begging for the treatment. I hope you all dig it! This was FUN!

Love you SebastiAn! <3 ~

CLOUD AND MOUNTAIN (Shay. Remix)

My remix for my friend / local rising talent @giavacious. 'FUCK!' is her latest single and she got a bunch of her friends to do a bunch of different remixes for it over a few different EP packages. This remix package also includes a version by my good pal @suleiman_music! Follow the 'Stream Here' link to listen to the EP!

[Note: there was some confusion during distro processing, so you'll see my remix show up as 'Shady Monk' rather than 'Shay.' until further notice when we get that fixed on streaming services!]

DIVA (Shay. Remix)

Bishu - DIVA (Shay. Remix)

@shadymonk and I met online in 2021 when I played one of his remixes in my radio set and tagged him in my story to show my respect. Since then, our friendship began, and at the beginning of 2022, he offered me a feat on the Bittersweet Bop track. Shay is an incredibly talented and ultra-productive sound producer from Philadelphia, who has more than 600 tracks in his portfolio. I am glad that he accepted my offer to work on remixes, in particular, on the tracks Cocoon and Cloud and Mountain. I was especially surprised by the remix of COCOON. From deconstructed pop, the track turned into old-school lounge trip hop, which explodes with electronic beats in the climax.

A few Words from Shay.: With this remix, as with many remixes I do that contain vocals, I felt it best to strip all of the original instrumentation back, and to follow what Nina's voice alone inspired me to do. I've been listening to lots of Neo Soul, Jazz and alternative R&B type stuff lately, and felt her performance really lent itself to something with that kind of style. For the first half of my remix, I established a bossa nova vibe focusing on shaping her vocals around my new arrangement, even re-pitching Nina's voice in some spots to match new chords. However, I really enjoyed the triplet groove of the back half of her song, and so I paid homage to that in the back half of my version as well. I experimented with different effects and wound up turning the main kick into more of a metal clanging sound, allowing me to fill in that space with new percussion and elements of my own. 
I'm very proud of this remix, and of what Nina has accomplished with her album MORPHO.

Check out my new #indiepoppunk remix for local Philly pal/ talent Gage Hally's (@user-472631017) latest single "Get Out"!

Now streaming!

Get Out (Shay. Remix)

I was really excited when my pal @orange-bloom requested I remix a tune from his latest EP. Featuring some sick vocals from @spghoul , I knew I wanted to take the track in a completely different direction from it's original version. I've been back on a DnB kick, listening to artists like @noisia more lately, so I attempted to go for a similar sound. Hope ya'll dig the results!

lyrics:

don't lie to me (x4)

I lost my composure
when you called me over
maybe we can make this real tonight

I lost my composure
when you called me over
maybe we can make this real tonight
real tonight (x16)

i want you to tell me why
(don't lie to me)
this can't become our real life
i'll hit rewind
(don't lie to me)
i'll stay in the memory of our first night
our first kiss
now our first dance
our first trip
and our first glance
our first goodbye
our first goodbye
our first goodbye
our first goodbye

(don't lie to me)

[vocal chops]

was it just a holographic kiss
just a wish
another life we didn't live
please forgive
was it just a holographic kiss
just a wish
another life we didn't live
please forgive
me

(don't lie to me)
