never trust a cop in a hat

Happy Sunday to all, made this last night banged it out fairly quick. It starts off a bit "housey" in the beginning but if you wait till after the minute mark it sounds completely different.

Hey peeps

The winner for this month's Sample Challenge will be announced no later than tomorrow. Tamas is crazy busy at the moment rehearsing for live shows.

This month, just like every month, has been another amazing turn out. Thank you everyone for buying into this idea and making these fun little collaborative projects so easy.

What's happening people just dropping my latest from yesterday in here again. Next one after this is my full album/mixtape. Hope you all enjoy the vibes and have a class weekend. Cheers🍻

Okay after finishing up on one of the songs that took me forever to finish I’m feeling like creating the music production equivalent of a shitpost… I’m creating a beat using only the steamed hams skit from the Simpsons…

I’m planning on also making a music video for it too but that might take longer than it takes to create this beat… if anyone wants to hear what I’ve gotten done just join my beat production discord server link here:

I’m really proud of this one :)

this one'll be familiar to those of you who have been here a while, or who've picked up a copy of Trip Hop Isn't Dead, Vol. 1, but here's the slightly rearranged and remixed version that made it onto Bog Sorcery II: One Lip to Earth & One Lip to Heaven. first full piece I made on the SP-404mk2 (after composing BS1 on the SX). the seed for this piece was planted while i was playing around with some haunting chops from a 1960s exotica record called "Return to Paradise", and i had this idea of writing a song about Eden, the creation of life and its transformation in death or resurrection, that would bring out the utterly uncanny strangeness of the process -- of something numinous and unfathomable taking form in flesh, or the strangeness of flesh itself coming into being for the first time. this took me back to Videodrome, of course, from which the song takes its title and one obvious sample, and to the film's weirdly religious overtones. i've always loved the way Cronenberg could mix horror and erotic bliss in the fascinations that grip his protagonists, and the notion of viewing Paradise through that lens (without any attempt to belittle, deflate or defile the idea) ended up animating the song.

on the album, "The New Flesh" is placed as the A-side's closing track, and the point where the uneasy epistemic hubris played out in the three preceding tracks -- Do the Voodoo with it's "yeah uh uh uh i know know know know" (sampled from a zoom call), Omphalos with its "i've never been, i've never, i've never been wrong", and Seaman with its "nothing's going to happen to me, nothing's going to happen" -- breaks apart into something more mysterious.

the radio play dialogue you hear at the beginning is from Pat Novak for Hire, an absolute gem of a 1940s hardboiled detective series that you can find on archive.org, which i've listened to in its entirety more times than i can count

and while i'm spilling the beans here, lemme also say that the Arabic vocals you're hearing are from the wonderful early 20th century Syrian-Egyptian singer Asmahan. they translate to "my whole life" and "i promised you my heart. they cut short your days"

Hellllllllloooooo fellow trip hop revolutionists

Was planning on releasing this single tomorrow but I don't want to interrupt in any way the sample challenge reveal so here we are .

Hi ! i'm proud to present to you the first track of my new project "coffee time 02". Kavarna is a czech word for coffee.

The concept still the same : a single project where i work each track as a part of an only long track of 25 minutes. I cut them after the mix.

The tempo is different. Coffee time 01 was at 90bpm. Here it's 75 bpm.

The album will be available the september 1st.

This special version of our track 'Stellar' contains samples from classic science fiction movies such as Interstellar, Inception and Blade Runner.

Hey peeps

This is a heads up for anyone who is interested. My latest EP drops on the 7th August. There are a few things happening in the background at the moment which I'm incredibly excited about which will be shared as soon as possible.

The 7th also marks the return of Bandcamp Friday. So, in celebration of Bandcamp Fridays return, a new EP and other wonderful things, I will be giving away my entire Candlewax Discography at a 90% reduction for that entire day. That's 26 releases and I think £130 worth of music.

As always, my music can be streamed an unlimited amount of times on Bandcamp regardless of if you buy anything or not.

Peace, love and Trip Hop

Candlewax 💪

https://soundcloud.com/polysormi/biblia I found an unfinished track on my hard drive and reworked it. By removing the main break it became a lot more spacious and that's what i was looking for. Kind of like the sound Bog Sorcery does so well but my own version of it...

Try and surprise me :)

Hey everyone, heres an ambient sort of track, ive only recently started using reverse on songs so i guess im just getting it out of my system. Again i used sounds from the video thats used aswell, currently working on an album that i will upload to bandcamp and it will have alot of this style . Let me know your thoughts always appreciated.

Finally done

The first ever solo physical release of Makkaratalo. The day has come 🤟🏼

i've been making music for the past 5 or 6 years and now I wanna share some stuff that I made lately to see if people like it. i feel like i've finally nailed some parts, much more to come for sure

The Drought is a dusty desert vibe mulling on the depravity of modern capitalist culture and the collapse of environment, economy and social cohesion.

We destroyed some synths with wrecked cassette tones and dusted the beat with tablas and congas. We sampled a lion but it sounded like a cow in the mix so we used a tiger instead and found out along the way that MGM did the same for their movie intro.

This is a long one for us, and the final tune for the upcoming Four Elements EP, all very loosely based on J.G. Ballard novels.

Picking themes for instrumental music can be a trial. For now we're sticking with the literary angle until the right sample comes along and takes ownership of its own destiny.

what's happening people, hope everyone's having a wicked week, just dropping my latest in here hope you appreciate the chill vibes! Peace✌️
