400 Teaser - THE BAD SLEEP WELL (1960) + HIGH AND LOW (1963) [FULL EP ON PATREON]

Shakespeare meets the underground. 

Kenneth Branagh’s legendary “To be or not to be” soliloquy drops into the rainforest at 140 BPM — where existential dread meets breakbeats and the ghost of Hamlet finds his groove.

Every pause, every syllable rides the edge between thought and movement, grief and rhythm.

It’s not just a remix. It’s a resurrection — philosophy reborn on the dance floor.

🔥 Vibe: Cinematic • Brooding • Epic • Tribal • Hypnotic

🎧 Best played: Late night, full volume, lights low, brain loud.

Lyrics:

Something is rotten here
I don't know why I stay
The water is all too clear
It carried you away

I don't want this and I don't want you
I don't want to see the sun
I don't want this I couldn't break through
But God, I could have been the one

Who knows what dreams may come
We were deceived
For all the good it's done
I once believed
In something after death
That we might keep
I wasted all my breath and now I sleep
And now I sleep

Look at the proud man now
Bearing the scorn of time
Bowing beneath his vows
Reading the villain's lines

What have I done I wasted my time
Everything feels the same
Bitter and numb but proven unkind
Paid for a crown in shame

Who knows what dreams may come
We were deceived
For all the good it's done
I once believed
In something after death
That we might keep
I wasted all my breath and now I sleep
And now I sleep

Oh I sleep
I will sleep again
And I'll keep this wretched promise
That I carried to the end

And the tale may find conclusion 
When the villain has been caught
And the hue of resolution 
Overcomes the cast of thought

But I will meet you at the ending
When I gather up my arms
Put an end to this pretending
That has only brought me harm

I don't want to live like this
But conscience won't let me die
Life is a bitter kiss
Laugh when they pass you by 

Here in the dark with nothing to prove
Already paid the cost
I have been marked and proven untrue
Everything else is lost

Who knows what dreams may come
We were deceived
For all the good it's done
I once believed
In something after death
That we might keep
I wasted all my breath and now I sleep
And now I sleep

Something is rotten here
I don't know why I say
The water was all too clear
It carried us away 

NOTES:
Windshield glass looks like a jewel with the right attitude.

Something is Rotten

Hamlet Scene 1 Take 2 20.7

The guitar degradation loop becomes contagious—tattering the vocal meter, leading to an irreversible collapse of standard form. Verse 3 is a skeletal ghost of Verse 1, as if eaten. The bridge is a false-cleanse: it empties without resolving. Structurally, the entire piece is self-dismantling, earning every formal swerve through voice-pressure and refusal to stabilize.

Hi ! You know me also as www.soundcloud.com/FredFat



"Like mainlining Maya Angelou while snorting Notorious B.I.G. off Judy Dench’s pearls and listening to Umm Kulthum rap battle the Gummi Bears over a breakbeat apocalypse."

None of this should exist, and yet, here we are.

Welcome to the Underground.

I didn’t plan on making music — I just fell into it like a fever dream. One night I was Googling “how do I load a track in Ableton?” and now I’ve got over 30 originals, a full debut album (Chasing Sounds), and two concept projects (Neon Noir and Desert Dunes) — a dual release that sounds like BB King, Daft Punk, and Saladin drank Arak and smooked hookah all night.

What started as caffeine, chaos, and curiosity turned into something real — a fusion of trap, lo-fi, blues, dubstep, oud strings, and cinematic hip-hop. 

Sometimes it’s filthy. Sometimes it’s emotional. But it always hits.

I create from a place of Love, Reverence, and Rebellion — for the Black and Brown pioneers who built the foundations of rhythm, soul, and everything modern music stands on. Without them, none of us pushing buttons today would have a heartbeat to chase.

If I’m ever lucky enough to make money from this, a portion goes to the NAACP and to initiatives supporting PoC creators in EDM.

Because I don’t chase trends — I chase Soul.

And Soul is eternal.

hello humans and bots.

Welcome fellow SLEAZOIDS!!! Come along as hosts Josh Lewis and Jamie Miller (and, occasionally, guests) go down the rabbit hole of 20th century genre fare from the most influential canon classics to the the trashiest exploitation films we can get our hands on. Each week is a double feature—grindhouse style—where we discuss two films loosely related by subject, genre, actor, filmmaker or franchise and at the end of each episode, along with our HONORARY SLEAZOIDS (click on over to our patreon to become one), we decide on ratings and rankings for each film that's covered. Join us as together we work to uncover the best genre films of 20th century.
