2023 RELEASES + PRODUCTION

Storage Space 4

Delaware Indie Pop sensation @jennyflorinicia & Philly mystic @shadymonk join creative forces to bless Monastery Rec. in collaboration with visual art label 'Oh Yeah Cool' (https://www.ohyeah.cool/art/music) on this sweet and uplifting chilled out single, 'affirmation'. 

As it's namesake suggests, affirmation (written/sung by Jenny and composed/produced by Shady) is a song (or better yet an anthem) about celebrating ones self in the most positive and healthy ways. With mastering from @telyscopes and gorgeous evocative cover art painted by Elise Stewart, we're extremely proud to add this wonderful meeting of the minds to our catalog here at Monastery Rec., and we can't wait to hear what these two cook up next!~

Andrew develops some of the world's most advanced analog modelling audio algorithms, releasing these as plugins through his own company Cytomic, and licensing technology to industry leading developers like Ableton (Live, Move, Push), and Xfer Records (Serum).     Summary In this conversation, Bill Day and Andy Simper delve into the intricacies of audio programming, DSP algorithms, and the evolution of music production tools. They discuss the challenges faced in hardware development, the early days of VST plugins, and the impact of the Glue compressor on Ableton's EQ8. The conversation also explores the technicalities of filters, the transition from bi-quad to state variable filters, and the nuances of summing engines in audio quality. Throughout, they emphasize the importance of efficiency in DSP and the future of audio processing.

Behind The Mask w/ Shady Monk - 25.07.25

Sixtroke - S3X SL4V3 is a release on the "Sampler Platter: 20 years of Midnight Snacks" compilation celebrating 20 years of the Midnight Snacks radio show!

"The story behind S3X SL4V3 is a strange one. In 2018 I released a Bootleg remix of a song with a similar name. Snacks played it on his radio show and tagged the original two artists featured on the track. The smaller of the two artist’s management emailed Snacks to say “hey, that was a super cool remix where can we find that?”

Snacks handed over the link and I was immediately hit with a takedown notice. This absolutely didn’t sit right with either of us. Eventually, the story was shared on the subreddit of the second larger artist and that artist actually said “Fuck that person, they’re a nobody. You’re good”

This version of that bootleg is essentially the same except it’s mixed and mastered better, hits harder and contains no elements of the original track. The vocals were done by me. This for all intents and purposes is a cover of that song. Copyright strike me now, * * * * Records"
