ELUSION DIRECT SUPPORT FOR ELIMINATE @ THE AVE IN PHILLY
The first version of this song started with the Eminem vocal from Forever featuring Drake, Kanye and Lil Wayne... I knew I couldn't post it with the original sample so I switched the words around and did it myself! At one point I had like 589764956394 versions of this song (shaking my head)
This was the first song that I decided to use my own vocal as the pre drop lol. This was another song I wrote in my bedroom just messing around with serum having a fun sound design sesh... The melody was a whoopsie and then, voila, games was officially born lol.
This song is suuuper special to me. I have a lot of my Pop in this one with his harmonic bar dive before the second drop. his vocals, and his input with the entire song writing process! I love working with my Pop, using guitar samples or getting ideas from what he thinks would sound cool, I just love the crazy ideas he gives me after he hears something for the first time.
I wrote this as a fun little flip on Thanksgiving Eve and decided to release it the next day! I was just vibing in the studio with my girl as she was gaming on her xbox and it just became an awesome flip!
I wrote this song for my girlfriend because were consistently listening to Lo-Fi. I wanted to make a record that we can vibe too, together! I released it for her on Valentines Day and we got awesome support on it, so I can't wait to dive deeper into this genre with my own twist on it. Super fun and different vibe for me producing wise :)
LICK IT, lick it, LICK IT, lick it
I decided to follow the market and switch it up! I started DJing back in the day because of house music, so it really feels like home whenever I get to produce house music lol.
"PREPARE TO HAVE YOUR MIIINDS BLOOWWWNNN!"
WHO DOESN'T LOVE THE ORIGINAL BY THE YOUNG LEGENDS WOOLI AND KOMPANY? AND WHO DOESN'T LOVE THE REAL SLIM SHADY? IT WAS JUST A COMBO THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE LOL.
I ALSO LOVE THE EPISODE OF FIGHT MILK FROM "ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA" AND I'M FROM NEW JERSEY SO I JUST HAD TO PAY HOMAGE TO MY NEIGHBORING CITY, PHILLY.
IIICCCEEE!!!
MY GIRLFRIEND AND I WOULD WAKE UP TO THIS SONG EVERY DAY FOR ALMOST A YEAR. I KID YOU NOT, THIS WAS OUR ALARM LOL. THE VIBES IN THE MORNING ARE SO KEY IN LIFE. ITS THE BEST WAY TO START YOUR MORNING. I HOPE THIS BECOMES YOUR ALARM FOR A LITTLE WHILE :)
YOU KNOW THE VIIIBESSSS! MY BIG BRO SOSA SENT ME THESE VOCALS VIA A SAMSUNG VOICE MEMO... HE DID THIS AFTER I SENT HIM THE INSTRUMENTAL DURING QUARANTINE! THIS SONG MEANS SO MUCH TO US BECAUSE OF THIS, AND WE WANTED TO KEEP THE STORY.. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE SAT ON THE RECORD FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS UNTIL WE FINALLY LINKED UP AT MY HOME STUDIO. SOSA AND I KNOCKED OUT SOME BACKGROUND VOCALS FOR THE SINGING PORTION OF THE RECORD ON THE SECOND VERSE, THAT WAY WE CAN KEEP THE RAW VOCALS AND MAKE IT SOUND SUPER COMPLETE. IM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THIS RECORD, SHOUT OUT TO MY FAMILY SICARIO SOSA ON THE VOCALS.. I AM SO PROUD OF THIS SONG AND I AM SO PROUD OF SOSA.. HE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE BEST TO EVER DO IT.
THIS BAD BOY WAS A SONG SENT TO ME BY MY BROTHER SHOKU... HE ACTUALLY TOOK ONE OF MY REMIXES, MADE A WIP OUT OF AN IDEA HE HEARD IN HIS HEAD, SENT IT TO ME, AND WE JUST SPAZZED ON IT. SHOKU IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS IN THE INDUSTRY, BUT HE IS ALSO ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE OUTSIDE MUSIC. THIS MANS HAS HOUSED ME FOR A WEEK ON A CALI TRIP, TREATED ME AS FAMILY AND CONTINUOUSLY CHECKS ON ME AS A BROTHER AND I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR THE KID! EXPECT CONSTANT COLLABS OVER OUR YEARS DOING THIS TOGETHER, THIS IS FOR SURE FAMILY TO ME.
I WROTE A FEW VERSIONS OF THIS SONG BEFORE IT REACHED THIS VERSION... I HAD A VERSION WHERE THE FIRST DROP WAS DUBSTEP WITHOUT A PRE DROP OF ANY SORT, AND A JERSEY SECOND DROP. DURING THE PANDEMIC I WAS REALLY GETTING CRAZY WITH MY SOUND DESIGN, I WENT BACK TO OLD PROJECTS AND REALLY RE DID THIS ONE INSIDE OUT LOL. THREW AWAY THE JERSEY DROP, MADE A CRAZIER DUBSTEP DROP INSTEAD. IT WAS TIME TO SAY THE JERSEY DUB IS OVER. STRAIGHT UP TEAROUT DUBSTEP IT IS. THE LYRCIS REALLY WERE ON POINT WITH SOME LIFE DRAMA I WAS INVOLVED WITH AT THE TIME, AND THE TRACK JUST MADE SENSE. SHOUT OUT MY HOMETOWN BROTHER ELI FOR SMASHING HIS PART ON THE VOCALS!
THE DANGER REMIX COMPILATION FEATURING SOME OF MY HOMIES! THIS RELEASE DEBUTED ON JULY 19TH VIA DIRTYSNATCHARECORDS! THE FIRST DROP INCLUDES A DIFFERENT FLOW OF DUBSTEP, ALONG WITH A TRAP DROP FOR THE SECOND! LOTS OF SOUND DESIGN INVOLVED FOR THIS RECORD
THIS WAS ALSO ONE OF MY FAVORITE PROJECTS TO WRITE!
DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, DJ CARNAGE'S TEAM HOSTED STREAMS ON TWITCH FOR NEW ARTISTS TO SUBMIT MUSIC FOR FEEDBACK. THEN THEY GATHERED THEIR FAVORITES TO FORM AN EP, WHICH THEY CALLED THE "LOCKDOWN EP". 2AM AND I WERE ABLE TO GET DOWN SIGNED, ALONG WITH A LIVE STREAM ON THEIR TWITCH! WORKING WITH THE HEAVYWEIGHT TEAM WAS A DOPE EXPERIENCE AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ON MY RESUME! 2AM HAS BEEN A FRIEND OF MINE FOR SUCH A LONG TIME AND ITS AWESOME TO HAVE AN ACCOMPLISHMENT LIKE THIS WITH A HOMIE!
FIRST 92 MGMT COLLAB WITH MY GUY JAYSYX. I GOT TO MEET THIS SAN DIEGO BASED ARTIST AT A DRIVE-IN SHOW IN ORLANDO FLORIDA, WHERE I GOT TO LINK WITH HIS MANAGER JUSTIN AT THE TIME. WE ALL GOT TOGETHER FOR A QUICK CHIT CHAT BEFORE JAYS SET, EXCHANGED INFO, - LONG STORY SHORT - JUSTIN IS NOW MY MANAGER TOO! THIS RECORD WAS TO GET YALL READY FOR MANY MORE COLLABS WITH THIS TALENTED 92 MGMT TEAMMATE OF MINE!
THE RECORD WAS RELEASED VIA THE EMENGY RECORD LABEL AND IS PUTTING UP MAJOR NUMBERS.
AT A STAGGERING 19K IN THE FIRST MONTH OF THE RELEASE, PURGE IS STILL GOING STRONG. AVAILABLE ON ALL PLATFORMS.
THE FIRST ELUSION X SHOKU COLLAB.
THE WEST COAST/EAST COAST FRIENDSHIP BEGAN IN 2019 AND TO THIS DAY SHOKU IS A CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE.
WORKING WITH SHOKU IS ALWAYS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE DUE TO HIS AMAZING PRODUCING SKILLS. HE IS ALWAYS SO MUCH FUN AND EASY TO WORK WITH, SO WITH ALL OF THAT BEING SAID, EXPECT MANY PROJECTS FROM US.
WE HAVE ANOTHER COLLAB COMING OUT IN MAY AS WELL... BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THAT BIG RELEASE. WE CAME A LONG WAY FROM SELF RELEASING THIS TRACK. AVAILABLE ON ALL PLATFORMS.
THIS WAS MY FIRST REMIX WHERE I REALLY STARTED TO FIGURE OUT THE DIRECTION IN WHAT GENRE I WAS GOING TO BE PRODUCING.
I JUST HAD TO FLIP THIS BAD BOY BY THE KING SKRILLEX HIMSELF. THIS LEGEND HAS A HUGE INFLUENCE ON MY PRODUCING AND DJ CAREER.
AFTER WATCHING HIM TEAR IT UP IN 2015 AT ULTRA MIAMI MUSIC FESTIVAL, THE YEAR HE BROUGHT OUT P DIDDY, DIPLO FOR A JACK-U SET, J-BIEBS TO PERFORM "WHERE ARE YOU NOW" WHEN IT WAS POPPIN', I WAS IMMEDIATELY INTRIGUED TO BE APART OF THE EDM SCENE IN MY OWN WAY. ONLY AVAILABLE ON SOUNDCLOUD.
