    A year long project to produce one hundred exemplary analog tracks, in the acid/techno tradition of live jamming hardware. Roland 16-step focused, raw analog aesthetic, with a few digital exceptions (virus, elektron). Guitar pedals, verb tanks, gates, modular patch cables, white noise, urban samples...all mixed to a techno/house grove with attention given to subtle modulations on nearly all parts of the track. But more important than ANY of that... the artistic freedom to not live track by track..to not worry about which label to sign them to (yet), to not 'chase the dancefloor gimmick du jour'....and rather, settle in, carve out the groove, paint the aesthetic, proceed with artistic integrity and intention, and liberate the music already inside me. You can't sell out, if your music is not truly for sale. The irony. Yet, the freedom. You may buy my album for $1000 between now and when all 100 tracks are complete. Or you may buy it for much, much more and sign it to your label, once they are. Or you may just listen here, enjoy, and dance in your bedroom. Regardless, my hope is only to connect with the people looking for honest, uncompromising art, and inspire them again to see the future as we once did in the past in early Chicago and Detroit. The world is on a temporary detour in terms of commercialized techno, minimal tech house, and laptop DJ pandemonium. Vinyl...the only phuture vision worth holding on to...the last analogy to Detroit. Computers were never the future...they were always just a 2d facsimile of it. The future was only ever captured in the raw art, the rave innocence, of the modulation of machines, sample pads, and turntables. Love, peace, joy, hope, dancing, trusting, dreaming of the future while jacking a bass bin at 5am. It was only ever about the music moving your body. Miles, Mills, May, Roy Davis Jr., Villalobos, Delsin, those are the gentlemen on my mind tonight. ... more

about

Not yet all the way to 100 tracks (only ~20 so far). You can buy this album at any time for $22 until all 100 are completed to say thank you to my fans and for them to be able to support my music along the way. Once all 100 are done, tracks will be available on a per track basis only..so get them now while they're hot!

Raw. Analogue Techno. The artistic freedom to carve the groove, paint the aesthetic, and liberate music. To see the future as we once did in early Chicago and Detroit; rave innocence, modulation of machines, sample pads, and turntables.
