Emcee, producer and co-founder of the Black Lodge collective.
Skella Tore balances raw bars with introspective themes, often rapping from the shadows of society and the weight of memory.
Known for gritty delivery, conceptual depth (9 Circles, Lost Boys '87, Dead or Alive, Fire Walk with Me) and sharp pen, he's the voice that cuts through the static.

Skella Tore

fka Fat Kneel. Forever in the shadows.
Cooper Circle is the murkmaster of the Black Lodge collective - sculpting eerie loops, reversed rhythms and lo-fi textures that hit like haunted film reels.
From the depths of Dead or Alive to the sewers beneath 9 Circles, his production is sinister, swampy and soaked in texture.
When the drums flip, reality folds.

You know, this is excuse me... a damn fine cup of coffee. I've wanted to make a homage to Twin Peaks for a while as it's just an incredible television show and I love David Lynch - so here it is! Enjoy your café experience in the red room.

Skella Tore x Cooper Circle - Sewers
A murky, looping crawl through the creative trenches. Cooper supplies the filth and Skella stays underground, avoiding the clones, writing in the rot.

Skella Tore x Estrvao6c - Spiral
From the Fire Walk LP.
Estrvao6c lays slowed, chopped sample over guitar and horns with tripled hi-hats weaving tension.
Skella drifts deeper with every bar - a spiral of reflection, weight and quiet unrest.

Skella Tore x Cooper Circle - Banzai
The Lost Boys '87 tapes were nearly buried... but we don't let the dead stay quiet.
Skella's re-recording the entire project over unearthed Black Lodge collective beats - this one by Cooper Circle.
Piano loops, jazzy drums and ghosted vocals carry the new crash.
Drop a comment, let us know what you think.

Skella Tore x Cooper Circle - Subjective Reality
From the Lost Boys ’87 remix sessions.
Cooper Circle flips something strange and sweet - dusty textures over a bouncy, playful rhythm. Skella floats through the haze, questioning perception while the beat smiles and shudders underneath.

Skella Tore x Cooper Circle - Dead or Alive
Another dispatch from the Dead or Alive EP: Robocop vision, boom bap precision.
Cooper Circle’s signature synth swell and eerie loops meet Skella Tore’s sharpened delivery:
“Dead or alive when pressure is applied.”

Skella Tore x Cooper Circle - Gas Station
Originally previewed on Instagram, now officially in the feed.
Skella Tore & Cooper Circle follow up with another Dead or Alive offering-grimy synth haze, layered bass, and Skella in full focus.
Digital dust, analog attitude. Pressure stays applied.

Gas Station [prod. Cooper Circle]

The opening cut to Dead or Alive finds Cooper Circle in signature form — muted vocal fragments, skippy drum programming, and layers of dusty chops stitched into a tense groove. Closer Look plays like a curtain raise: brief, sharp, and cinematic, setting the stage for what follows.

Premiere: OPERANT - 3D Printed Genitals [Instruments Of Discipline]

Mostly written in late 2015 and 2016 when I was still in school and living in Brooklyn. Not sleeping at night. All my friendships falling apart. Literally being eaten alive by insects.

Black Lodge is a global collective of producers and rappers united by a shared passion for crafting dusty, sample-based boom bap. Drawing inspiration from the golden era of hip-hop, we blend raw, gritty beats with sharp lyricism, creating a sound that resonates with both classic heads and modern listeners. Our music is a journey through the vinyl crates, where every crackle and hiss tells a story. Join us as we push the boundaries of boom bap, one track at a time.
