“97” a record off the album titled “VERTIGO EFFECT” produced by Bad.Idea releasing on 12.19.2020 on all platforms Cover art designed by @lecsajor @_______wakeup Motion graphics by Bad.Idea Created during the month of September, when the air began to change in Houston. As certain as the moment may be, there is still anticipation. For me “97” is an opening, a portal for reminiscing. The mind grows calm, matching the frequency of the layers within the record. Inspired by the depth of orchestras. #houston #texas #graphicdesign #synthesizer #electronicmusic #ambient

TERRAFORM has landed 🪐 Link to bandcamp release in our bio👁️ This LP calls back to some of @bad.idea.___ ‘s early music production styles but evolved into a new listening experience. The majority of this body of work was created at the turn of 2021. At the time these tracks had no place to call home so they sat on a hard drive waiting to see the light. The idea behind this project was always what it is today, only with some adjustment along the way and proper platform thanks to eye45. TERRAFORM reflects ideas of far away planetary systems capable of harboring life. With such exploration endeavors, one is forced to face the harsh and unknown conditions of a given environment, which merely offers a question of “what if” - A question left at the forefront of human curiosity. Embracing spacial sonics, deep grooves, atmospheric synths and ghostly vocal samples, TERRAFORM will surely transport you into another world.

Thank you to those who stomped the dancefloor with us every Thursday night! Thank you to @djsun for opening a door that has changed my life in so many ways as well as those around me. Thank you to my loved ones for holding me down through thick n thin. Thank you @yedi_yosh @yowi_1 for being the big bros in my life. Thank you @_dennisaurio for the flyer art every month! If I missed anyone in this post - I love you and appreciate you for your role in all of this. Last year was all about experimenting and creating something new at the flat. Now it’s time to lock in — more DJs, bigger sounds, more late nights, more sweat, more memories and solidifying our foundation at The Flat. We’re just at the forefront of a major pivot. Thank you year 1 DJs: @yedi_yosh @mister.bristle @justmalcolmbravo @sabinin_ @djsun @xonda.fm @jjburton @feat.era @amajayeus @_dennisaurio @dustytombs @idkryanidk @_jooth_ @saint.izmael @radiosofrito @memosep @jjoshallenn @_melodic_ @cataminetherapy @sprk444 @paulpaxton_ @marcusthemixer @divinewind1 @lordhelpusall_333 @mxrganxmxrgan @guzmasounds @lutfialbert @iamyoungbrown_

Here N Now meant - surrender and Be. The destination is always fantasized but the journey is often dreaded. To see countless hours compiled into minutes allowed me to appreciate this experience. I’ve given so much of myself to this project. I feel like it’s time to call this part done and move into the next phase. Re-recording demos, making selections, testing song sequencing, mixing&mastering, album art, distribution, listening event planning. I’ll check in sometime soon, enjoy this compilation of moments for now 🖤
