Discography

Feels good to release a new free download! Been focusing intensely on an upcoming album project these last 2 years, but wanted to break the silence with a new release. Been absolutely influenced by Knock2 and what he's bringing to the house scene, inspiring me to add my own twist to this already classic track. 

Got a few more things potentially lined up for this year, but genuinely can't wait to share what I have in store for 2023. Enjoy this free download and thank you for supporting!

dashstar* (Paper Skies Remix)

Free Download

dashstar* (Remix)

When I first heard "Fred again.." and looked into his tunes, I resonated so strongly with how he used music to convey memories and real life. It only took one listen of "Turn On The Lights again.." before the remix idea popped into my head. Since then, there's been no slowing down on making the track and visuals!

In the 3/4 of this tune, Fred talks about this imposter syndrome of not being capable of writing certain emotions based on life experience. This is something I faced countless times, and it only became apparent after going though a significantly dark time in life that I've always been capable of being who I want to be. I never had to go through that rough patch and neither do you. Now working on my upcoming album/project, I've never felt more connected and real with my music. Stoked to share and wanted to give you all a glimpse of what I've been preparing through this remix!

Turn On The Lights again.. (Remix)

Had so much fun making this remix of my favorite  @laxcitymusic  tune! Amends was released on my birthday last year and a track I was excited to remix after seeing the competition announcement. Spent 14 hours making the tune on the last day of submissions and managed to win a spot on the remix compilation!

Included this voiceover where Laxcity talks about perfectionism in the midsection of the tune. That clip just resonated with me having tried to perfect my album/project the last 3 years, but I'm happy to announce I just recently completed it! Can't wait to show you guys how it turned out and thank you for listening!

Sharks & Skybreak & Paper Skies - Trinite [FREE DL]

Fun lil backstory

Before I even learned how to produce, I would always hang out in music producers' servers and in the help channels, people always used this website called "Clyp" to share what they're working on. Paper skies has been in the game grindin' for HELLA long because back in the day, people were really looking up to him and he was trending on clyp. His progress is honestly awesome to witness. Even through his ups and downs, bro is STILL grinding despite events as insanely unbased and not goated as promoters gatekeeping him from liveshows.

Thus, years later, as a fellow Canadian homie when he asked to be collab partners for a 24 hour contest, you already know it was gonna be legendary. We made some absolutely INSANE progress on the song during the contest which you can actually hear in a mix I did a while ago. We decided this was a special song and we wanted to take our time with it, iron out all the mixing quirks, prepare visuals, etc. It's the EXACT type of nostalgic, complextro goodness that takes me back to the simpler times, back when I enjoyed EDM for the first time. It's a True 50/50 collab, where both of us did our best to integrate our styles!

Lastly, as a tribute to this mythical collision of fates, Paper Skies suggested we give out a free sample pack featuring our favorite sounds from the song =) Use them as you wish to flip, remix, or produce to your heart's desires, and feel free to tag us with your work too! https://hypeddit.com/paperskiesexyl/howsamplepack/

Also. This song is NOT a Spu7nix reference.

Paper Skies & Nytrix - Freefalling

[Project] Wireframe /// Track 3

The importance of blocking out the noise.

Listen / Download: https://pilot.ffm.to/paper-skies-wireframe
Visuals by Paper Skies | Released with Pilot Records.

I had accepted I hit rock bottom. My streaming numbers were lower than they had been in 6 years and I was sitting in my friend's apartment in LA on my first solo vacation. This trip had no specific purpose other than to see my friends, but I learned real quick why LA has such a hustle mindset. I got an opportunity to receive massive funding to reopen my label, was chatting with big names in the scene and every moment felt like chasing an opportunity. The trip was amazing, but it brought me right back to the mindset I was trying to avoid when I wrote Freefalling.

The skill I learned on this trip was to block out the noise. Everyone has something to say about how you should live your life and push your career, but sometimes the best ideas and exploration of self comes when nobody is around. I used this opportunity to write this track whenever I was alone on this trip and discover the importance of isolation.

This is where it all started.

In 2019 I realized everything I was doing was pointless.

Today's musicians are placed in a stupidly toxic position. If they aren’t feeding the algorithm, constantly growing and doing 10 jobs at once, all of their hard work is swept away by the endless waves of new music and competition. I remember feeling like I was working harder than anybody, but I treated myself like shit for not hitting the same numbers as other musicians which led to toxic work habits. Maybe if I made MORE music or BETTER sound design I could get the numbers they had? Maybe I need to make more short form content? Maybe I need to change my sound? The doubts just kept rolling in and I was killing myself by doing what I THOUGHT I should be doing.

The truth is, we ask ourselves the wrong questions and create this toxic position for ourselves. I didn’t NEED the numbers to be happy. Yeah I have to make money to live, but it didn’t NEED to be from music for me to finally BE happy. As long as I could sustain myself and MAKE music that would make me pretty happy, right? What the fuck was the point in doing this to myself?

I think it was 2020 when I finally started asking the right questions; “Why am I doing this? What are my true goals? Why does ANY of what I create matter?” These were my answers…

1) What I wanted to do was create ANYTHING that made me feel proud; music, art and all. 
2) My goals were to have a sustainable income and ensure I had time to create and be social. 
3) What I was making hardly mattered in the world and especially to myself.

I didn’t like the answer I gave myself on the last question, so I took a step back from being a musician, and I decided I wanted to become an Artist. I wanted my shit to matter, at bare minimum, to myself. I’ll say in highsight, this is the best choice I ever made and I am happy.

This is the foundation of who I was as a musician and my journey to becoming what I self define as an "Artist". I'm excited to hear what you think about the music, how you interpret it and I want to thank you so much for being with me in this moment.

We're now half way through the album. The sense of independence I felt at this point and the freedom from that self inflicted curse of chasing the numbers was beautiful. Despite this, I realized that this story only looked into issues I was facing at the moment, but I wanted to dive deeper and look more into my past.

This started by looking back at every single video I had on my phone since 2014 when I started making music. Honestly one of the best experiences I ever put myself through and I got to revisit so many memories and friends. Each recording you hear here is from my phone and I tried my best to highlight my journey and people who are crucial to my life in this moment. Each field recording and ambience you hear across this entire album is taken from the videos on my phone at different times and locations. Each moment of this album is so important to me.

You know nothing more than you did before listening.

This is a skill I have been preaching to everyone I meet. Listen and Learn. It sounds so simple in concept, but doing it successfully is actually really hard. Ask yourself, the random dude you met at the club, on discord, at school, wherever- how much do you remember from chatting with them? Did that conversation actually matter to you? 

To listen means to hear someone from their thoughts and not your own. A lot of times, we subconsiously "listen" to people with our own bias and you will learn much more if you can dig deep and remove that bias. To learn means to actually remember what that person said and study it in your mind. Come to your own conclusions after removing that bias and watch how much you can take away from even a basic conversation. 

This song is called "Listen / Learn" because I've never made drum and bass before this. I can't tell you how many thousands of tracks I've listened to now in the genre and that was all purposeful. I still don't think I "did it right", but I definitely did it my way and I took inspiration from more sources than I can name on paper. It wasn't just about listening to the tunes, it was about studying them and asking what they were trying to accomplish. Not what I heard, but what did the artist who made it hear.

YEO! Here's a free clip me and @cure97 cooked up using some sounds from his Cured Sounds Vol.2 Sample Pack. Been rinsing this in sets and getting good reactions so I thought I'd put it out there and help promote my homies pack.

There's SO much material in this pack to mess with and manipulate- I've been resampling with it non-stop and highly recommend if you're in need of some crisp multi-genre sounds. Genuine recommendation, not some promo shit. I just really enjoyed using it and think you will too.

To celebrate the release of my new plugin, "Chroma" developed by my company Xynth Audio & Nasko, we decided to make an official demo track!

Big thanks to Audius for sponsoring an official remix contest for the tune which includes a $500 cash prize and some awesome production tools!

STEMS: https://audius.co/PaperSkies/paper-skies-x-nasko-x-audius-72-hour-beat-battle

Really pushed Chroma to its limits to make some dope sounds and we're happy to share those sound design methods if anybody has questions!

Paper Skies - Fireflies (ft. meseta) | RADIO EDIT

Stream/Download: https://orcd.co/psfireflies

I think everyone my age would agree Fireflies is one of those nostalgic records that just hits. Reminds me of younger times hanging with my friends, school trips and a crazy unsorted playlist on my iPod that went from bangarang to flo rida. I'm just really happy I can put my own spin on it years later and feel that young excitement when listening. Big thanks to meseta who I think beautifully covered the vocals and my friends kittito and disphing for helping me with this record.

This is the year I really feel like all this hard work comes together.

2024 was the warmup I needed to get all my remaining music out and wrap up the first decade of Paper Skies. Stepping into 2025; I've never felt so rewarded with the opportunities coming my way - going to take full advantage of every single one, I've never felt so confident in the brand I'm building, and I've never been happier with the consistent new sound of all the music I have coming up. I feel like each of my descriptions on my releases is like a log where I just talk about however tf I'm feeling RIGHT now that I know only my real supporters read, so this will be a good one to look back on. None of what's gonna happen this year is possible without the support of you, reading this right now. Not to "big things coming soon" I'm just really excited.

Obviously always loved Knock2's song writing so I really wanted to spin a cut off his new album. Hope you like my take on this one and tried a few different things across the track.
