Here’s Vincent, D-Ran a.k.a. Timmy Tidus, and I performing at the Coffee Cave in Newark, New Jersey this past Saturday (July 24, 2010). It was a Black Flag Shoppe event called “NJ HAS IT.” Vincent had a 15 minute set, and in the middle we did this cut. It’s the United Five theme for the clothing label, who also gave me the Biggie Babe t-shirt that I’m rockin in this vid. You can check their stuff out at http://www.united-five.com.

More to come soon!

Half House, Half… Not Too Sure
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010I was just playing around, trying to come up with some different sounds. I ended up with this little catchy thing at 130bpm. The second half of the 16 bar loop sounds like House to me, and the first half sounds like… pop maybe? Not too sure.
Anyway, I’m still trying to find a fresh sound for Phase 4, while keeping to my roots. I’ve still got the Jazz/Swing stuff on tap, as well as some other ideas I want to try. Nothing solidified yet.
I’m guessing part of this is influenced by my visit to Ultra (club in Teaneck, NJ) this past Friday for a birthday party, the fistpumping nature of the Jersey Shore (which I’ve only watched once, and since people make fun of the fistpumping I thought I’d try the music out), and going through some of mine and ADM’s old music in the Chamber[303] days.
It’s nice to not be limited by anything. Hopefully I’ll get some traction, and maybe record a track or two that would be the foundation for my next opus. I don’t want to release anything though until Phase 3 has gotten around for a bit. Remember, it’s coming out March 1, 2010 on iTunes!
Drop comments with your thoughts. ADM might have something to say about this because if that one half isn’t house, I’m sure he’ll let me know. =]
Project inhalOr and Wind Beneath My Wings with Destiny Soprano are both on deck, as well as a few songs from Cocoa.
More to come!
