First track made when it was clear how much enjoyment there was to be taken from smashing up classic bass-heavy styles of music. Instrumental hip hop tipping the hat to the tradition: funky drummer, scratching, metallic dub echo. Live Rhodes, guitar and scratching.

Radiodon't

Bass-heavy programming smashed against the classic blues tradition, with dub bass synthesis, some slight dancehall swing and brittle muted trumpet

My Baby Has Left Me

Smashing up of drums and pattern programming into something that could resemble the long-lost cousin of a rocksteady rhythm evolved over time, with an occasionally steady and serene Rhodes/bass combo

Rusty

Last track produced for the album, split into improvisational bandstanding of which the mixing and mastering takes the final improvisational duty. A classic jazz structure that sounds like anything but.

It's That Same

A cheeky shuffle into a collision between jazz and reggae more in the vein of traditional electronica with the Rhodes so high in the mix.

His Sound

Second track produced for the album. Borrows the classic ratatat rocksteady drum sample. Retains some of that traditional dub production as a result. A typical "last track of the album"--one to reward the listener with.

You Know The Place

Veering into the romantic with samples from world music, radio and the public. A more stripped down track with live instrumentation carrying throughout in the Rhodes and guitar.
