Some summer music for ya nerves.
Soundcloud if you're feeling sadistic.
When not making people cry with my folk music, I make beats and electronic music. I felt like giving people something to dance to for once, so here's some songs that make me think of summer. I wanted a challenge, so it's all sample free (apart from the drums, which are cleared). I wrote and recorded this over the past month or two, and I'm really happy with how it turned out.
This was originally going to be a full 9 track album, but I wanted to keep it concise. Expect those tracks in the future.
flac's track facts:
Track 1: Intro (Lonesome Moonlit Beach)
The female vocals are actually just chopped and screwed from this track from my album.
I went to a lot of beaches at night with friends when I was a teen, only very occasionally for legal reasons. Lots of fond memories of being one of the last two people on the beach, and talking for hours.
Track 2: Summahtune
It's a suuuuumah tuuuuuunee. Wish I had this one done in time for the 4th of July.
I might possibly like early Kanye. Really hard to tell...
Track 3: Keep in Touch
Put this out a few months ago, I've been wanting to build a project around it for forever. I kinda did.
Track 4: Last Chance Shuffle
I think this is my favorite track that I've ever done. Really happy with the production, composition, even my l'il protege's feature on it came together really well. Had a ton of fun recording bass on this track.

Thanks! Every time I put out a major-ish project, I like to do a 180 (or at least a 90) degree turn to some totally different genre - partly to work on my skills, and partly because by the time I finish a project, I am dying to work on anything different than what I've been doing. Probably something punk next...
Maybe that was just my distance from the time I first heard it, or the fact that I heard it with better speakers this time then. I like it! I love Summahtune, though. I can't put my finger on it, and it sounds... familiar. I don't know why yet. Did you have any inspirations for it the chord progression?
Thanks! I've had the chords/melody for that track bouncing around for a month or two, figured this was as good an end for it as any. There's actually a lot more progression to the tune than what's in the final track - I just kind of "sampled" the few bars that repeated the best. I'd be happy to send the charts to you if you'd like ;)
Yes that'd be awesome! I'll pm you my email address
Yo. Good production quality, chill style... Awesome!
Good winds your way, man. When you release something new, make sure to ping me so I can listen to it!
