Stepping outside of my normal "dub" vibe...this track was an experiment that started out as some support tracks for a live performance at a club for a Japanese band I was producing about 11 or 12 years ago. I had used a bunch of drum tracks and…
First track I produced on my DAW...just tryin' to get the feel of thing at the time (no manual...well...a manual, but it's in Japanese...so same thing). Anyway, it's pretty simple...programmed a drum track, threw down a fretless dub line...threw…
This tune was written on the day I bought my vintage Yamaha CP-25 electric piano and returned to hear that Dennis Hopper had passed away. I fired up the gear and cranked this out. The sound of the piano made me feel like Ray Manzarek...thus the…
This tune hopefully shows the culmination of my musical influences (namely, Mick Karn (R.I.P.), Adrian Sherwood, Bill Laswell, Jah Wobble...) while also painting a visual picture...as it was written and recorded in one day after I went free-diving…

This solo studio dub jam was created and recorded in about 8 hours of play time one day. As usual, it starts with a simple drum machine track, then fretless bass, then keys, guitar, then a Balinese kecak drum and a tbilat drum and finally melodica…

This is a blues collaboration between The TwoRegs (vocals / lyrics) and Norm Harris (percussion) and myself (17 note per octave electric guitar and fretless bass).
We hope you enjoy it…

Another remixfight remix: I gave Admiral Bob's reggae tune "Evolution of my Heart" a thorough reshaping. Dark dubby tech house, skittery drums, fog of echos, throbbing shadows.

Comments on Drop D's stuff
Patience...let it build...and wait for the hit at about 3:19...then just hang out and enjoy the ride.
Very nice D. Got a chance to jam in my phones and enjoyed this one a lot! Love the bass man, love it.
Cool beat makes my head bounce side to side

Thanks, guest! Space Echo's rock! It's my new toy...still having fun playing around with it. Fun for daaaaaays!
Killer Groove!!!!
I love the vibe of your music. Super chill! Great album cover! I can't believe you have a Roland Space Echo. Those things are so sweet!

Totally chilled ice cold beer track bro. well done.

A well established reggae-groovy track...Rocking heads eh..

Wow...goin' OUT! Love it...T-rex meets Tom Waits for a beautifully gnarly blues-brawl.
loose...in the moment...in the zone. It takes me to another place...and I'm there.
Nice build...and good changes.
No...this is NOT a cover of the doors...it is a tribute to both The Doors and Dennis Hopper who died on the day I wrote this.
Deep-haunting-dub. Right up my alley.
LOVE the long, winding vocal line...GREAT production as well.
HOly BASS rumble! Clean, deep and groovy. Take me to the beach.
Love it when it really builds up to the hit at about 2:25! NICE!! Killer jam!
yet another great track! Nice dubby vibe.
groovy.
just like I like my chocolate...dark and smoooooooooooth.
nice brooding groove.
Stunning.
I absolutely adore melodic drums...and while delicate...this is one HEAVY and head-bobbin' groove. Nice one...very nice one.
Hey, it was GREAT jamming with you on this! Looking forward to more collaborations in the future!
