New spaces are constantly being carved between genres and with influences as diverse as Mr. Bungle, Meshuggah, Wendy Carlos, Steve Vai, Roy Ayers, and soundtracks to games such as EarthBound and Chrono Trigger, it's fair to say that FLOOR BABA commands a unique space.

What began as an outlet for unreleased soundtrack work quickly found a home in the excitement of mid-2010's SoundCloud culture. Since then, FLOOR BABA has continued to craft a unique combination of retro sounds and today's emergent electronic stylings. Through FLOOR BABA what's old and what's new dance in a personal exploration.

OPEN WIDE

Back in 2019 i'd kindly asked @sylcmyk for the stems to this track, as their original version had been a repeat favorite ever since I first heard it, and it always looped in my head with me getting bits and bobs of ideas throughout, but a lot of time passed and I never got around to properly finishing or dropping my remix...that is until now! I'm quite pleased with how this turned out after some further tinkering 4 years later.
