2022-11-1801 mindjempiricalNatisu - La Distancia (Slake Moth remix)In Dec. 2021, Damian Taylor had the wonderful Natisu on his Twitch channel for an interview/beat battle, where folks participating had 2 hours to make a 90 second beat from snippets of the stems from Natisu's "La Distancia".
I decided on an old school electro style, but in a cheeky 7/8 time signature, which Damian dubbed "Elec7ro" 😆

I was struggling finding something that would stick (I had scrapped three other previous attempts), but on Tuesday afternoon I had put on "The Eyes of Stanley Pain", a mid-90s record from Download, and decided to take a bit of inspiration from it. This isn't as harsh and abrasive as that record, but I think the drum pattern and vibes of the synths through the verse section are a reflection of it.
The bassline is new, but samples the original stem, and the warbly synth is...

djempiricalSlake Moth - #ACAB100% of what I receive will go as a donation to the National Police Accountability Project (www.nlg-npap.org). No email required for purchase.
I've been appalled (though not surprised) by the behavior of cops across America. I wanted to create something to help encourage donations; I will not keep anything that comes in from this release.
