It’s a bit early but I decided to do a Halloween album using my cassette shoebox I bought a while ago and still haven’t got full use of it but I’m thinking and using it when I feel like I can and have a good idea. The album consists of taped and nontape instrumental tracks that I taped the samples on the recorder and then chopped them up a bit to make the final sounds so technically there are two versions to some of the tracks on the album. As I said I know it’s a bit early but I was messing about and thought on the spot to make a Halloween album using the recorder as I like the eerie sound to the track which reminded me of some of my old mess about tracks I used to make also using the tape player as I was a tape deck boy. I would say I miss the cassette tape but I don’t but I would say I miss fiddling about with the tapes and the fact you could bootleg anything I’m sorry but I did record a lot of my songs off the radio when I was younger but yes digital is better.  The tracks are eerie and slow and melodic to get ready for Halloween or for music for the day which is still a long way to go but I’m sure it will come round fast. I’ll probably do another Halloween album nearer the time but for now, it’s nearly summer so I’m making House, Jungle, and other rave genres, for now, that’s all up on Soundcloud.

Space Lemonade is a what I call this album aka Afrofuturism music which is a new concept music-wise and I see there isn’t a big splash in the music world so I thought being I was interested in the topic and wanted to try something new I thought I’d make a new album as there was one before but it didn’t turn out the way I liked it so I made another one but this time without too much of the bongos, there’s an album with bongos and other African drums that wasn’t too great and this one is without the African drums and more Sci-Fi mixed with Sci-Fi music genres like G Funk and Synthy genres. The album was inspired by the old genres like G Funk, Electro, and other synth-based genres that were Sci-Fi and synthy that I used to listen to growing up and really feel the music. I would say it’s the 80s inspired even though it the not the normal Synthwave album you will hear and the sounds come from the 80s but also the 70s when there was a big popular thing with Sci-Fi here in the UK but also it was on a lot on the TV worldwide and also in fashion but that was before my time and I was born in the 80s a decade after. It was after watching the film Black Panther that I decided to make some Afrofuturism too after getting a few ideas from the film which I and the public thought was inspirational.

22/03/2022 - New Album Release; The Synth Way

I’ve been on my MIDI keyboard a lot and I think I am finally going back to how I used to play but probably a bit slower now and less technical with the keys and the overall design of the tracks.  This EP is a free download as I used the tracks in a blog post I made not so long back which was about my top 5 favorite synthesizers plugins I have a few now and I actually kind of collect the best ones and can be quite expensive but there are deals you know I love a good bargain and I wouldn’t say I was cheap without sounding off speed so to speak. There is something about synth music that does it for me and all the BS aside it can appeal to anyone and as a producer there is a lot you can do with and fits all sorts of genres some are quite surprising but not really if I thought about it but it’s a win, win situation for me anyway. You can read about the synth plugin I use and what I like in the blog post I made which has some demonstrations of what the synths sound like to get the full picture of them and how they sound and why I love them so much.

 This is a Hip Hop album I made ages ago and didn’t put out but I thought what the hell and released it anyway as I liked it and thought it was good enough to be heard despite me not making much Hip Hop recently as there is a lot of that already and it’s Trap now which I like I just heard enough and see a lot of people making it. I keep that for when I do play something new and current but I do love trap though and UK Drill I like but I don’t listen to a lot of it and prefer instrumentals. Well obviously being brought up in the 80s and 90s I like all things old when it comes to Hip Hop from the 70s, 80s and not forgetting the era of Hip Hop in the 90s and also R’N’B also my favorite so I make old skool beats but there are some Trap elements but it’s mostly old skool 90s Hip Hop drum beats the good old fashion slow rhythms that were mellow but so catchy you can’t knock old skool Hip Hop from anywhere before 2010. Â
