Peanut Butter and Jam bands

Yesterday I produced a track that feels (to my ear)like Pink Floyd (70's side-B long jam style) meets Grateful Dead (70's deep instrumental experimental jam style) with the production aesthetic of Radiohead's "In-Rainbows".  I overdubbed all of the instruments, it was the most fun I've had in the studio in a while. I am forever grateful for music, it's the best.

The saga continues...
I had so much fun making the 1st of these Floyd/Dead/Radiohead inspired tunes that I had to do it again. I went all in on this one yesterday. To me it feels like a lost track from The Wall meets an outtake from ok Computer with a touch of that "Wake of The Flood" Dead. 
(live drums through an analog mixer, Rhodes 54, analog hardware synthesizer(Arturia Polybrute!), 5 string electric bass, fender stratocaster, and telecaster guitars)  
This was an extremely fun experience making this song in the style of my biggest influences. Had a super emotional, cathartic studio day. life is a trip. MUSIC IS THE BEST💜

The Special Cog

THE SPECIAL COG - AARON HOLSTEIN 1MANBAND

Kraak & Smaak continue their quest to own 2013 with the release of the second single from their forthcoming Chrome Waves album. 

The quality keeps flowing with a genuine indie-disco smash featuring Sam Duckworth of Get Cape Wear Cape Fly fame on vocals. Owing as much to the funk and groove of The Clash as it does to the party island where they are suddenly so popular the original is a rip-roaring summer singalong smash destined to blast out of the radio in every city.

Remixes come courtesy of portuguese disco don Moullinex, ice cool Nordic beatsmith Diskjokke, UK garage hotshot Marcus jakes, leftfield breakbeat blasters Howson’s Groove and reggae masters Yesking.

Good For The City (feat. Sam Duckworth)

Ever since we released "Without Hesitation," the lead single from Inverse Universe's brand new EP, New Clear Energy, which we're premiering today, we've been anticipating the release of this triumphant 5-track electro soul and swing package.

Plenty of retro instrumentations including honky tonk pianny and throwback slide introduce the uninitiated to the Inverse Universe ... umm... universe. Throw on your dusty cowboy hat and strap on your jetpack, because this is future music made by a couple of leatherbound, steampunk time-travelers cruising through musty record bins in forgotten corners of the world.

Between "Summer Swing" and "Blue Winter Slide," we see the seasonal affective disorder of most Chicago acts breaking through the crusty frost and springing into life with some deep, knee-breaking grooves. Plenty of bass follows through, and the Atmosphere remix is icing on the cake for a handful of fun cuts.

The pair makes its debut this weekend at Concord Music Hall, for the big Manic Focus release party featuring Wick-it The Instigator and Muzzy. They'll also be hitting Dabroots in Colorado 4/18-4/20 and head to Kentucky for Paradise Music Festival in July.

Inverse Universe - Blue Winter Slide [EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE]

The first track of my small 3 song EP, this track is one that started my journey as an ElectroHipHop artist. I fell in love with the beat and contrast between the electronic parts and the live parts. I hope you guys enjoy!

King Pharaoh's Tomb (w/ horns) - LIVE - 4.20.13

Twenty-Six timeless and dabbed-out instrumental vignettes exploring Lo-fi Jazz/Soul, minimal Hiphop, and abstract Beatwork all soaked in vintage palettes and woven into a seamless head-nodding flow.

Dab Records was created from the friendship of Doug Appling (better known as downtempo producer Emancipator and the creator of Loci Records) and Asher Fulero (session/touring keyboardist and multi-genre composer/producer). 

During some early-2016 idea sessions for new Emancipator music, the pair discovered a working flow in the studio that carried it’s own identity and decided to curate a new project around it. 

Over the course of the next four years between other albums and tours, Appling and Fulero spent countless hours in the studio together filling folder after folder with ideas and then patiently sculpting away, refining the vision and lovingly crafting a timeless piece of art that showcases some of the finest work from either.

Layers of vintage keyboards, jazzy samples, minimal beats and abstract synths get soaked in vinyl scratching and dirty atmospheres, all smoked and toked into a blissfully hypnotic masterpiece that is obsessively detail-oriented yet loosely off-the-cuff in captivating stoner perfection.
