Bang That Door

2007-12-01T08:25:00.000-08:00

I've been quietly working on this one for a minute. I used to work with a guy named Hakim - he's one of those people you hope you have the pleasure of being around when you're on the j-o-b. Hakim would sing his way through the workday, and would often make up songs about things that happened and the people he interacted with.

The thing is - the dude has chops. Sure, I know you have some dude at your job that does the same thing, but they don't sound as good as Hakim.

Before moving on to a new gig, we recorded a bunch of acapella tracks to have on hand. I now present the first of what I hope are many Hakim's Moods remixes. I know isn't my normal "style" of music to make, but whatever. It sounds right, and I like trying new things. Let's go hang gliding together sometime.

We Could Do This

I scored a synth a few months back and have been messing around with it. This track feels good, and it's probably me best vocal work to date (thank you vocal effects!). Electro love.

Check out this neat imbedded player!

That's Right

2006-11-16T12:30:00.000-08:00

This is a new take on the Sylvia Striplin song "Can't Turn Me Away", most notably sampled for "Get Money" by Biggie/Junior Mafia. That bass line is SO big though I thought it deserved a new treatment with some smoother vocals/scratches on top (like sprinkles).

That's Right

Make Me Wanna Holler

2006-11-16T12:00:00.000-08:00

This is a new longer version of "Holler" which was the best product of my Song-a-Day Project. It's now back with a new bridge, and an elongated ending. This song makes me feel real good.

One part funk breakbeats - one part acapella soul version of White Stripes Seven Nation Army. Enjoy.

The Space Between

2006-11-16T10:58:00.000-08:00

And it begins. This is an idea for an opening track to a concept album I've been thinking about. With this song, I wanted to create the sensation of what it feels like to be alone and closed off, but still wanting to open up to let someone else into your life. How there is beauty in that solitude, but also a sadness. It's not really trying to convey an inspirational feeling - more of an attempt to capture the feeling in it's natural state.

I like the string sections on here - it creates a movie score feel which goes along with the fact that the album will in essence be telling a story. This track will set the timbre for the album, but also allow for later contrast against it as the other songs will be more upbeat to a degree.

That's Boosh

2006-11-16T08:00:00.000-08:00

A full-on honest to goodness kick-ass take no prisoners RAP song by the Bus Stop (Ranztron and Lippy). Rap - as in we are rapping. Listen to it and watch your ladies.

To Seek a New Home

2006-11-16T07:00:00.000-08:00

The latest offering from The Bus Stop (Big Lip & Big Ranz). This nugget is an homage to the records put out by the Memphix label. Dark, sultry loops that are mysterious but still head nodding.

Scenes From an F-Train

Probably the best track from the Stupidfresh album. My best scratching recorded, and the song played most frequently on WRUV in Vermont!

The opening track from my album Stupidfresh - it feels like a lifetime ago.
