Another exploration in hacking genres - Screw + Metal + Mashup = Metal Screw

Since 1999 I have been contemplating a proper way to define hacking music...over the years my studies and work as been a pursuit into defining this technique. I have come to the conclusion that to truly hack music is to hack genres. From this the concept of the name Dr1v3r has manifested. When dealing with computers there is software and hardware...in the Dj world there is hardware and software....I am the Dr1v3r that communicates the hardware to the software. So my introduction to this concept is to show how to cross the genre of screwed music with the genre Metal. What resonated with me to Screwed music is because as a child in 1984 I remember getting that tape player, and listening to ll Cool J , Whodini etc etc. My family did not have the money to pay for batteries so I always had to listen to music slowed, especially rock rap bands like The Beastie Boys and Red Hot Chili Peppers..so this set of tracks you hear is a tribute to the poor mans music. 

History of the track: This was a very personal track for me, I studied philosophy and psychology for years and I found it fascinating how Freud saw insight into the unconscious mind with art...what if you applied that to music? So based on linguistics and symbolism within the teachings in philosophy I paid close attention as to why in mashups it was always posted as song VS song. so I took that literally and took a narrative of Bitch and pit it against the bitches Addiction...hence what you hear now.

Are you really paying attention?

Love Sauls work...figured i would put sprinkles on it......

Concept: The concept of Scotch is a antithesis of Screwed music, Screwed Music is slowed 30 to 50 Bpm than the original. Scotch speeds the track 50 - 120 bpms, I enjoy laying over rock rifts, beats, or sounds to accentuate the track. As I move further into this exploration of hacking Dj Styles you will see Chopped from Screwed and Chopped to be forged into Hopped...then the track will be Hopped and Scotched...bad ass.

2nd Hopped n Scotched Track..Feel it.

Breakdown:

Thesis (Screwed and Chopped): DJ Screw's technique involves slowing down and manipulating the tempo of a track, creating a hypnotic and laid-back effect. The "screwed" aspect is the primary thesis.

Antithesis (Hopped and Scotched): As the opposite of slowing down, the "Scotched" aspect can be understood as speeding up the track, introducing energy and intensity. The "Hopped" aspect can be seen as chopping the track, adding a fragmented and dynamic quality that contrasts with the smoother, elongated feel of screwing.

Synthesis (Hacked Dj Style - Screwed & Chopped = Hopped & Scotched  > Project Pat's Track - Hopped n Scotched): Applying this dialectical framework to a track, I aim to create a synthesis between the thesis and antithesis. You could potentially take a Dj Style, Antithesis it and synthesis a hacked dj style. This would result in a unique blend that captures the essence of both approaches while creating a new musical experience.

this is so unorthodox with the current DJ mindset..but when you conflict Hacking and Music..this is the result..Feel it. I fucking love conflict theory...musical alchemy

AMEN

When I walk into the structure
I do myself a favor
And I bless myself, yes
Every head must bow down
And every tongue confess
And I don't care how you found out
This is only a test
So test yourself
I see the way that you're looking down
Tripping through life as you fumble around
Quick check, respect, nobody around
So reach under your dress
And caress yourself
Yeah, now listen
People say
I need God on command!
God on demand!
If God's too busy then I'll bless myself
All these people saying call your own shots
They're not robots, they want no roadblocks
They are a team unto themself, they say
I don't answer to anybody but myself!
Whose fault is it now?
Who do you blame now?
You gonna cop to that?
If you're a cop then arrest yourself
If you're trying to provoke yourself then
You're gonna need to invoke yourself then
A prayer spoken from the newly awoken says
Must we always distress ourselves?
You'll say this, you'll, you'll sing this
Where did all the time go?
Where did all the love go?
I hung on to my ego, but now?
I just want to drown myself
They say trust no one, not even yourself
So now I can't even trust myself?
Damn! Wow!
We always hurt the ones we love
But now we also have to love ourselves
Are you feeling blessed?
Are you feeling blessed?
No?
Then bless yourself

Southern Chill. 

We've taken the introspective, opulent flow of 8 Ball & MJG's "Forever" and meshed it with the deep, aqueous soundscapes of Potlatch's "Sleep at the Swamp (Chill Out)." The result is a fusion that captures the deep, humid heart of the South and overlays it with cinematic, ambient electronic mood.

The Southern Chill Vibe
The blend creates a uniquely textured sound perfect for late-night drives and quiet contemplation:

The Weight of the South: The classic 808 bass from the hip-hop track is transformed into a sluggish, earth-shaking pulse that drags the tempo down to a mesmerizing crawl. 8 Ball & MJG's vocals are slowed, becoming syrupy and echoing the classic "chopped and screwed" style, deepening the emotional resonance of the lyrics.

The Swamp Atmosphere: Potlatch's "Sleep at the Swamp" provides a foundation of misty, ethereal pads, subtle, wet percussion, and dreamy electronic textures. This instrumental backdrop gives the track a sense of endless space and humid isolation, turning the rap track into an ambient mood piece.
