Beat 817 – “Fist2Face Discourse”
Built from a grimy @soundsforsamplers drumbreak pushed through @seratoproduction Hex for that dirty swing. Bass from @teletoneaudio layered with @reborn.sounds textures, and finished off with @theaudiopunks Tape Eater for a warped analog sheen.

Yo! Just finished Beat 815 – “Moving the Posts.”
Flipped two of your drum loops from the new pack 🔥
Accidentally loaded @teletoneaudio Hypha instead of Oracle and it actually sparked the whole melody. 1/1 @todaysfuturesound.bsky.social Cano jacket…

Cooked Beat 814 — “Holy Holi” at @wearesounddojo in Houston.
Started the idea in the juvenile hall waiting room with one-shots, added a piano line, 808 bass, pitched a sample & improvised an Octave Cat lead.
Traveling studio energy. Hip Hop healing in motion.

When country singers spoke truth, not Christian nationalist fascism.
Back when “outlaw” meant moral courage — not ignorance wrapped in a flag.

Built on @cherryaudiovst Trident + @soundoracle Golden Era Ableton rack.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

It’s a dark time, but maybe a turning point.

Beat 808 – “We’re All @ntif@ (Unless You’re Christi@n F@scist N@zi)”

This one’s for everyone standing against Christi@n n@tionalism, fascism, and the sanitized hate hiding behind flags and crosses.

Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.”

Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia?
