remaining question: is that your cup of coffee?  an A.I. coffee, or a stock footage coffee?

this is no laughing matter, caffeine addiction is part of the E.T. world domination plot !

amaze - just like the GLC!! ( Goldie looking chain - from Newport, Wales in case u not heard of , good lac my friend)

GRATITUDE - It's all about the music!

It took me some time to finish this tune, as I composed this almost a decade ago. For some reason, many other musical projects kept distracting me from investing the kind of time this tune, “GRATITUDE”, required and I believe deserved. 
But, I decided to not let it remain on the back burner any longer. 
I’m happy to say I finally got it done.

This tune is all about the gratitude I have towards everything that encompasses music. There’s gratitude simply for music existing in the first place. It’s my heartfelt tribute towards the art of music in all its forms. It is also just as much a tribute to ALL the musicians, from all walks of life, famous and not so famous... with some of course being highly influential and motivational for me on a personal level, all of which have been a source of inspiration in one way or another over the course of my life.

The essence of music is one of those big unanswered mysteries in the human experience. Why is it that we humans perceive the sounds of music in the way we do? No one has ever really come up with a plausible explanation, yet music remains as a special art form that has existed throughout modern civilization and has been expressed in countless ways. It’s pretty incredible… isn’t it?!

So, I conclude with the hopes that you will give a good listen to my tune “GRATITUDE”. 
After all this is a tribute to every one out there... whether you are a fellow musician, or the non-musician that simply loves to listen to music and one that embraces this wonderful and diverse art form.

The Eclectic Collective – composition



This song began with Josh coming up with the fonky-ass bass line and sharing it with everyone else. First up to bat was Ken, of course, who really matched the idea I had for the bass perfectly and gave it some flavor, too. Once we had a rhythm section solidified, Tez jumped in with the Kruangbin inspired arpeggios, and really gave the whole thing the flavor that it ended up with. Scotty followed soon after with his melodic/rhythmic leads that match his awesome vocal melodies. Next up was Stephen, who laid in the fiery solo towards the end, as well as some really trippy e-bowed guitar throughout. Then JJ came along and lit it up with his electric piano and synth. Finally, Chris came forward and added the distinct, exciting guitar intro. 
  Of course, we needed someone to produce and mix it, so we asked Tez to handle this one, which he did with his usual high wizardly magic. It is very gratifying to all of us to have Chris back in the mix on this one, as well as some upcoming releases, as well. This was the first time any of us has collaborated with Scotty, and we are thrilled that we finally got a chance. He's a creative, driven, and very agreeable musical partner, who's willing to work with us until we all get it right. We all hope this is just the first of many with him involved. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

Original lyrics by Scotty:

Can't obtain no fucking mortgage. 
And I can't pay no fucking rent.
I would rather you probe me 
than get fucked by our government
who attempts to control me 
and put nonsense in my head.
Who would rather see me
livin' in debt or end up dead.
Come and take me away.
Beam me into space.
Fly me to a planet
where there exists no hate or greed.

Take me to Utopia.
Teach me all your ways.
Save me from dystopia.
It's time to turn the page.
Something better must exist
out there beyond the stars,
where everyone can love and live,
unlike what's become

Everything has to come to an end. But not the song, it always starts again from the beginning

never ending song

My first DAW song!
I enjoyed very much doing this song?
Can you also enjoy it?

Under Pressure
In this world of expectations where success is a decree
All the pressure from everywhere can easily break you and me
Schooling us with numbers and facts, who care is’s breaking our backs
All the promises I must keep still hunt me in my sleep
In this circle of demands the pressure still expands

Education should be the key, but if the pressure breaks me?
What if I cannot break free?

You think when I smile I’m shinning so bright, but deep within there is a fear I can’t fight
All the pressure closing on me, expectations, how to be free?
How can I handle the wight before it is too late?
The obligations are so strong, where do I belong?

Success is what we strive for, but I wonder if there’s more
Expectations are everywhere,  all the pressure I have to bear

Under Pressure

Just a song from lockdown, 2020! Paid lowlifes were causing distress and disruption in our cities and country! Thought they would win, but second guess America! We may not perfect, but we continue on in life, liberty, and most importantly..  pursuit of happiness!!, ha! Good luck and God’s blessings!🤩

It was a Tuesday night
And the weather was warm
@etalaf set a challenge
Make a song c'mon.
Sat down, pulled the mic
Found my throat was sore
Needed coffee
To wet my lips some more
In Perth we're coffee snobs
Espresso ground beans
Caffeine hard core at
22:10 That’s 10 past 10 PM 
Raw flavor fresh ground 
Grinders special blend

Make it strong to 
keep me up all night
Get this song to et al
Before the break 
of day light

But then a though spoke loud in my mind 
It wasn't mine
Like a voice from behind 
but there was no one to find

It said 

"get to the studio and play some more sound
Your audio on sound cloud sent us earth bound"

Looked at the crema in my coffee 
and I could not believe
A funky alien 
staring back at me

Extra Terrestrial 
Espresso Shot
They're watching me from my coffee cup
What do they want 
Extra Terrestrial 
Espresso Shot
"Sending thoughts into your mind" 


With the voice in my head
and compelled to obey
I sat down no debate
"DJ Real Prepare to Create"

In my sedentary state
This sound created in Perth
Representing the Earth

So this is a call to creative artisans
across multiverses and galaxy regions
Look at your espresso messages frequently
Listen and create your artistic frequencies

[Scratch solo]

Some time had passed 
It was the month of June
I was sleeping  with a full moon

But as I woke up that night 
to a brighter flashing light
Through my curtains I witnessed
clear detail and richness

A sight to behold there were
Several UFOs 
Lucky there was parking 
I suppose

At least 7 kinds  
with no central command
Extra terrestrials 
with coffees in hand

I could not believe 
How the sight made me feel
I again heard the voice
" Greetings DJ Real"

came all this way
And  summoned a crew
To make awesome music
And roast coffee brew

We went to the studio 
and shared some dope tracks 
Taught them how to scratch
And laughed and relaxed

Till the sun rose again
They got what I got
A Shared love for the music 
And espresso shots

Extra Terrestrial 
Espresso Shot
They're watching me from my coffee cup
What do they want 
Extra Terrestrial 
Espresso Shot
"Sending thoughts into your mind"
