It is finally here! Ladies and gents, our first full-length album 'HYPNOS'. After two and a half years of hard work and delays we are proud to present to you our most ambitious project yet.
The 'HYPNOS' writing process started in late 2019. Since then, the world has transformed in many ways. During the pandemic years, 'HYPNOS' was rearranged and changed many times but remained true to its original vision.
What you'll find on this album is a collection of 12 grandiose instrumental tracks each with a mythological aura. Hypnos in Greek mythology is the god and personification of sleep and much of this project is inspired by sleep/dreams. The melody for the track "Saudade" for instance appeared directly in a dream(more info on that track will come in later posts).
"HYPNOS is OLD. It was first conceptualized way back in 2013/2014(the melody for “Burn” was also born in that time). Late nights in college I would free jam on the piano with friends in a small chapel. The ambience that our instruments created in the chapel space gave me the idea to create an album that captured that sound. Half a decade later, everything seemed to have fell right in place to start production of the LP."

@zigguratofficial idea that I lost a while back on the old laptop. Made on Reason. Visual’s origin is also mysterious 🤔.

Posting an old beat/video made years ago in the forbidden aspect ratio. Not sure if anyone will see this because of that(thanks Instagram). Beat is “bug night” off Boons 2. I think the visuals were from Space Engine not sure. Will be posting some more musics soon.

NIGHT BEATS VOL.1 is finally out! Happy new years y’all🎉 I’m proud to present the first installment of a fine collection of hip hop beats. Inspired by @flipabeatclub I started this project about 3 years ago- was primarily working on synth-based stuff for the last LP 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘴. I went to a FABC meetup at spokesman coffee and it had been a while since I flipped a sample. I remember whatever I came up with at the meetup was kinda dry so I decided to get my chops back up. I gradually put together around 100 sample-based beats with less than half of them making the cut. Originally was going to put all of them onto one record but 40 tracks for an album is a bit much so I split the project into two parts.
NIGHT BEATS VOL 1 is 22 tracks packed with samps from around the world. 44 min runtime. Rap beats. Music to bump at night.
This sleek LP cover design is credited to @fullphonetic 🎨
Enjoy the show! 🌃
