progress report [1.23.2012]

spent most of the weekend in the lab, got another mixtape track in the bag as well as the final two tracks for the “beebee on the bus” split EP project so expect more news about that soon

i’m trying to shift gears a bit and focus pretty heavily on live performances so, of course, i am available to play anywhere, anytime, with almost anybody, so hit me up

that’s about it for now, i’ll probably let another mixtape track slip out of my grasp at some point later in the week so ya’ll can hear it.

in an attempt to actually get people to check out this site in addition to the facebook page, here is a brand new track from the upcoming Shark Week Mixtape, Vol. 2, which will drop sometime next month

Watch ‘Em (Remix)

for those who don’t know, this is a black milk beat from his album “popular demand” which is completely fucking bonkers and one of my favorite record to come out of detroit like ever. you really need to check that out if you haven’t before

What’s Up Right Now.

hey guys. got a few things to give a little info about:

  1. The 12″ Vinyl Kickstarter is fully funded:
    reached the goal of $1,000 in a day (cuz you guys are great) so now it’s all gravy. all additional funding at this point will go towards beefing up the record packages so, by donating now, not only you reserving a copy of an extremely limited run of 12″ records, you’re also helping to make the shit you will get even better. right now i’m looking at 150g vinyl and possible picture discs, depending on how much more is raised. help out here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/satellitehigh/look-at-the-mess-youve-made-a-satellite-high-lp
  2. The BeeBee on the Bus split EP:
    im currently working on a few songs for a pretty conceptual EP project, tentatively entitled “beebee on the bus”. it’s inspired by the twitter feed of this man and he really likes buses a lot, and watching the news. it’s not a comedy record, it’s pretty sincere but also very weird and an attempt to get inside the headspace of a pretty unique personality. the word ‘bus’ appears frequently. my stuff here is part of a split-EP project with the talented UK pop songwriter/performer Bert Smith (http://bertsmith.bandcamp.com), who is quite familiar with the world of turning weird twitter feeds into catchy tunes, whereas this will be my first attempt to do so. it should be interesting to watch and will be released fairly shortly.
  3. The Shark Week Mixtape, Vol. 2:
    i’ve entered full-on production mode for ‘shark week vol. 2′, something i’m pretty excited about, it’s a return to the world of mixtape freestyles and shit and i’ve been having a lot of fun writing to a ton of good beats and stuff. in addition to the usual mixtape ‘stolen beat’ stuff, there will be original productions by Spooky Cheddar and a ton more. this mix is definitely going to have a lot more ‘experimental’ stuff than the original one, but is definitely going to be a return to wordplay-heavy lyrical shit. about 17 minutes finished so far, more to come.
  4. “93 til Infinity (HC Remix)”:
    speaking of — here’s a mixtape track i put out there this weekend. it’s a remix of 93 til Infinity but rather than just doing the typical take on the track and going all brag-and-boast on it, i decided to talk more about the 90s for me, and get into the world of the hardcore punk scene back then, and just kind of pen a love letter to a part of my childhood that i miss a lot. i think it’s a real good track and i hope you like it too, it definitely comes from the heart even if it’s about a pretty left-field topic.

so, anyways, thanks for playing. as always, follow me on twitter and like my shit on facebook and improve your life drastically.

– jay
