spotlight: “DIALTONES” feat. @freexparty out now on THE LOVE TAPE 📼☎️🎈
Back in 2022 I met Jay & Mo at a @venicemusic launch party and we immediately connected over some mutual music friends from the DMV. Synergy was already there in conversations about making timeless music, really trying to make *songs* and music that feels classic… something with real depth and not just throwaway records.
We linked up eventually and I told them about the mixtape and the concept behind it. I had this beat I’d been sitting on for a while which kind of had this Outkast feel in terms of tempo and vibe but still futuristic sounding. I mostly used the Juno, OP1 and Moog for the keys & bass. They were vibing with it and we started getting some ideas around the first half of the song.
Fast forward to 2023 I had some family staying in town and my home studio was out of commission. So I took a midi keyboard out to the living room and ended up cooking up the second half of the song with a crazy beat switch. Sent that over and Mo got a fire idea for lyrics on that part which set the whole song in motion! We linked back up to finish the song in person and @henryjkeith came thru to film the process. Jay recorded his insane verse to start the song off and we pieced together the rest of the record. Dialtones really shows the range that both Jay & Mo have as lyricists & with melodies.
I added more production for each section and worked with the homie @ellistucker to mix it as he was a fan of Free Party too. Last but not least got with my guy @jlhaudioservices to get it mastered to perfection! Boom! Super proud of how this one came out. It’s currently the highest streaming song on the mixtape 🔥🙏🏼🔥
