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.

Cooper Circle

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 - Baywatch
A hazy cruise across a sleepy coast. Dreamlike loops, mellow drums and a flow that floats just above the tide.
A moment of calm from the upcoming Fire Walk With Me LP

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.

Skella Tore x Acid Vicious - Somebody Died
From the Lost Boys ’87 Black Lodge remix series.
Acid Vicious drifts into a spaced-out, foggy atmosphere - synths float like spirits while Skella Tore delivers verses touched with grief and detachment.
Somebody died, but the echoes still walk.

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.

From the Lost Boys ’87 (Black Lodge Remixes) vault: Skella goes off over one of DeepTrunk’s heaviest flips. Crunchy drums, police sirens, and ghostly female vocal wails set the scene for pure hunger rap. Dark, urgent, and unrelenting - this is Feeding Time.

From Lost Boys ’87 (Black Lodge Remixes) - Skella Tore’s Survival Manual gets rebuilt over DeepTrunk’s whirlwind jazz chops. The beat lurches and stabs, loose and wild, while Skella’s verses cut through with sharp precision. This one’s all smoke, brass, and battle scars.

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.
