Before the stage and before the records, this is where it started.
DMProgress found out he could write in 10th grade during a poetry competition. He won, and that moment shifted everything.
“I didn’t even know I was a poet… and then I was like, alright, I’m working on my first album.”
This is one part of his story.

DRB001 — The Origin Story Sessions @drumetrics
These are raw drum performances, pressed to vinyl.
Eight full sessions on a 60s drum kit, recorded analog to reel to reel. No samples. No shortcuts. Just live drums, straight to wax.
Each box set includes four 5” records with eight total tracks. Made to order, laser cut, with a limited Soul Side Vinyl edition.
For producers, DJs, and anyone building from the source.
Only a few of these exist. Available at Soul Side Vinyl. Stop by the shop to grab yours.
