Here's a free tune from my upcoming release with Street Ritual, Staring Into Space, out on October 1st.

Duffrey is an electronic music producer with a unsatisfiable hunger for brain tickling soundscapes and funky bass. Woody Klann, an Oakland based drummer and musician from a young age, has been squeezing sounds from his environment since he can remember. His style is heavily influenced by a chilled-out west coast bass flavor introduced to him during his time spent in the NW and California. Duffrey's goal is to convert brainwaves into vibrational energy that takes control of your body and leaves you with a tingly sensation. From the grimiest of glitch to a feel good mash-up, Duffrey keeps it interesting, fresh, and is ready to shred at all times.

Staring Into Space, Duffrey's Debut Release, is an exploration of deep space by way of squishy, crunchy glitch with a heavy spoonful of lurk. This ethereal journey will take you from the dark, dank woods to the farthest reaches of the multiverse to a land filled with howling wolves and dancing gnomes. And you'll still be home for dinner. Intelligent highs and grimy lows bring you on a full scape journey leaving you both satisfied and shredded at the same time. With howling highs and complex lows, Duffrey's howlin' is just the beginning.

See-Through Time

In slowing currents, may our thoughts unwind. Like falling leaves let go of what is past... 
I present my first ambient/downtempo journey mix that I've recorded and shared! Accompanying the changing of seasons quite nicely this mix is also great for early mornings, late night drives, and times of solitude.
This realm of music has had such a significant impact on my life and I hope the arrangement & flow of these selections can also evoke such an emotional response in the listener and provide a sense of solace, even if its just for a brief moment of time. Thank you for being here <3
