Yard Remixes

I had no plans on remixing 'Yard', a track I made around the time just before the V.illin Mills album cuts started coming around I'd say 2006-ish. I had forgotten about it also till around 2018? when I heard Code play it on his Subtle Audio Radio show. He sent me the original tune shortly after as I had no file of it.

Fast forward a few years, Greenleaf hit me up checking if he could do a remix. I promptly agreed because he's been consistently making some of the dopest Drumfunk for some time now and it'd be a big honour to get the remix treatment. I just realized while writing this, that this would be the first time someone remixed one of my tunes! His remix sparked the heavy Krugah Tenement Yaad version which stays in constant rotation on DJ's playlists. So huge shout outs to Greenleaf for hearing something more in the original. I ended up making 2 remixes, opting to go for something more steppier as a breather between the breakbeat choppage versions. The prolific Opius stepped up in fine form to round out the EP with his rapid-fire rhythmic edit style. Yard Remixes out now on Wrekanise Recordings.

Fine Limit Breakz 9

My last release of 2022 drops today on Fine Limit Breakz 9 alongside choppage heaters from Antares, Krugah, and Opius. Very excited to be included on this one! Cop it over on the Ballpark Recordings Bandcamp.

"Westwood/Eastwood Skank" was a tune that I started back in 2017 when I was working on a forthcoming album (2023?). About 3 weeks ago I was going through the Ableton Projects folder and didn't recognize the title 'Lately'. The jazz sample and drum loop instantly hooked me again and had me skanking around the room for a bit. But the tastes and techniques have changed a lot in 5 years and the tune was gutted and all that remains from the original is the parts between 0:45 - 1:29. The newer patterns slap harder and sequencing flows a lot smoother which make it easier to mix. Opius, bossman of Ballpark Recordings, hit me up a few days later and the tune was finished in a week, which usually takes a month or more for me!

Cover Art Process for Snares N' Roses

My original idea was a snare drum disintegrating or melting upwards like it's in space or some other world with different physics with one small floating rose and 2 drumsticks above it. On a DIY budget, I started messing with the AI sites I had access to. A few of those experiments are above and below.

I wasn't into any of them 100% and tried going another route.

I still wanted a snare as the main shit. So new idea to try was an alien-like snare drum floating in the middle of dense forests on some Twin Peaks shit. I started looking at photos of our hikes here in the Pacific Northwest when I saw the batch of ones Klod took for an Inperspective album but didn't end up using. It had the abandoned pier stilts and it was instantly "yeh that's the one."
