When U Go Down #65

All of AbJo's latest drops on Sound.xyz...

AbJo

I've been back and forth for a long time now on what my next move in life is gonna be, which has coincided with some setbacks on many levels recently that effectively solidified that I had to make it now, or I never would.

Long story short, I'm going back to school to get my Master's degree in music, with the plan to teach/educate folks about electronic music from a Black perspective, and our history in revolutionizing all music with just a handful of musical devices and techniques, or through developing musical styles that dominate popular music to this day.

I digress, though: I've been feeling defeated until recently because I failed elsewhere in my life. I tried, really hard, but maybe just not hard enough. I'm tired. Exhausted. Sometimes from just being a Black man living in this world we live in, most times from just not being where I expected to be by now, which is really where the idea of this song originated.

This is for my peoples who are ready to give up. To stop chasing for a minute, and to accept where you're at and how you feel, instead of propping up your ego and your pride, and say out loud that you really did try. We all have, we've all been there, too, so you're not alone, and this isn't the end. Enjoy it while you can, enjoy it here in this moment I created, and find catharsis in knowing you have to fail at some point, to one day eventually succeed. 

Right?

Right...

camoufly - Airbender

The secret sauce behind anonymous artist and producer camoufly is his ability to follow his instincts. Written and produced at the start of the year, airbender is a sonic reflection of his creative curiosities at the time.

Painting in bright tones, the result is a delightfully whimsical house track balanced in simplicity and depth with crunchy rain-like sounds, airy synth layers, wind chimes, pulsing bass, and a driving kick drum. When the elements are coming together, you kind of start feeling it. Indicative of camouflys intuitive approach, airbender dances in the sweet spot.

oshi - i know you're tired of driving

Artist, producer, and DJ oshi delivers the perfect sad boy summer bop with i know youre tired of driving. Angsty, raw and broodingly romantic, Oshi wears his heart on his sleeve. i know youre tired of driving captures unfiltered emotion while managing to result in a compelling final product, ready for club tears all summer long. 

Inspired by a drum sample, oshi utilizes a chopped vocal and glitchy drum break to add a satisfying element of danceability, Sometimes I make songs just to work through feelings.

Annika Rose "Dad" Music NFT

my dad was diagnosed with cancer in the beginning of 2020. covid hit. and he moved back in to a cramped apartment with my mom, her wife, my sister, and myself. i made it my singular goal to educate myself on health and cancer recovery as heavily as i could to help expedite his healing. for those two years we became closer than ever. best friends. 6 mile walks every morning. learning about his upbringing, parents, first loves, fears, goals, mistakes. everything. it was the first time i understood my dad as a human. who was once a child. and a teenager. and as a son and a brother.

he moved back to his hometown after his recovery and nearing the end of the most severe months of the pandemic. i wrote this song the morning after i watched him get in the car to the airport.

this song is so special to me that i made it only available to mint in the listening room. i'm glad you found it.

Pauline Herr - Nirvana

Artist, producer, and DJ Pauline Herr blesses us with a transcendent new track, Nirvana. Deftly balanced by melodic bliss and the tempered anticipation of the drop as the bass patiently builds, Nirvana mesmerizes. Massaging the brain like an expansive mind approaching enlightenment, the track opens up as if to usher listeners to a new dimension.

Dadabots - RUG THE BOTS

AI death metal band, Dadabots, is the project of artists and mad scientists, CJ Carr and Zack Zukowski. In RUG THE ROBOTS, Dadabots finds yet another way to push the furthest edges of creativity and technology by combining what they call human learning, with AI-generated choral harmonies, MIDI, and drum break samples. 

Inspired by cornerstone articles of Ethereum lore, Ethereum is a Dark Forest and Sandwich Attacks vs Salmonella, "RUG THE BOTS tells the story of taking revenge on malicious bots acting as ecosystem predators. The song is both haunting and manic, featuring a choral section sung by CJ, and accompanied by an AI-generated choir. Pioneering on the fringe of musics extremes, Dadabots strikes again. 

Revenge, it turns out, is sweet.

The Connection is Delayed #7

Maelstrom

The Amen break is one of musics most beloved and essential samples, ranking up there with Funky Drummer and Think (About It) as the most used breaks in hip-hop and electronic music. However, the primary songwriters behind the track  the Winstons Richard L. Spencer, who wrote the arrangement for the song and owned the copyright on the track, and drummer Gregory Coleman, who died homeless in 2006  never received royalties from their indispensable beat.

I always wanted to find a way to credit the creators behind the samples I was using in my own productions. Its easy to do so on a vinyl sleeve (and I did), but the music streaming industry doesnt care, and makes it almost impossible to share informations about a record and how it was produced, apart from the main artists name. Most of us know that theres more to a record than just a singer, a rapper, or a techno producer. Music is inherently collaborative. Music is the fabric of communities. Music is made of shared moments, connections, and interactions. 

The Stems & Twigs Mix is an experiment in collaborative creative processes, using smart contracts to ensure that all creators are credited and get a fair share of the sale, based on how much theyve contributed

Following the Ensemble Mix (the first ever techno DJ set minted as an NFT back in March 2022 on sound.xyz), I decided to push forward by putting together a mix based, not on finished songs, but on stems (individual instrumental tracks). 

After announcing the idea on Twitter, I received around 550 different stems, uploaded on a shared folder : drum loops, basslines, vocals, guitars, synthesizers, sfx, or even modular and generative experiments. Each stem files name needed to include a twitter handle and an ETH wallet address 

I spent the next week assembling these components into a 25 minutes piece of music where almost every sound has been sourced from this collective sample pool. From the 550 stems originally received, 46 have been used in the mix (I only included 4 of my own stems). The final mix will be sold on sound.xyz as an NFT with multiple editions. Each producer will receive a percentage of the NFT sale, based on how many of his stems have been used (1 stem = 1%), with 50% of the sale going to the stem producers, and 50% to myself for building the mix and designing the concept. 

Whats interesting is that, even if 92% of the building blocks I used were produced by other musicians, the mix sounds a lot like a typical Maelstrom DJ set. But the process still pushed me into unexpected territories, where I had to find ways to include elements that I thought were essential, but didnt sound at all like something I would have recorded myself. The result is truly a collaborative one, a dialogue between different voices, coming from specific places around the globe and different cultures, but sharing the same desire for a better future than the one that is currently being pushed down our throats by the music industry. 

 Thanks to all the musicians who trusted me with their music for this project : Space Dimension Controller, Lyd, Studio Nouveau, Bergsonist, Amnix, ASAM, Birmingham Drive, 0xJitzu, Mark de Clive-Lowe, FRQ NCY, Emir Deniz, Helsmoortel, Drizzle, Serboy, GovernmentFun, Drggy , Random Brothers, Pol Mira
