Ojai Ojai Mat Ward...you are a sonic genius. You create such beautiful and innovative music, and I get the sense that the world will catch up one day and hail you as the four-dimensional god that you undoubtedly are.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us mortals. You continue to push worldwide musical boundaries into new and terrifyingly warped directions. Long may you live!

You've got eight days You've got eight days to go (Newsreader): Venezuela's embattled president, Nicolas Maduro, has rejected the European ultimatum that gave him eight days to call new elections. Pressure keeps piling on Maduro, but it appears pretty clear now that he's not going down without a fight.

Just Ignore Them (free) 03:45
Why has BBC News betrayed its own rules of impartiality? Perhaps the BBC News Foreign Editor might like to respond, please? Just ignore, ignore them Just ignore, ignore them We don't answer to you Just ignore, ignore them Just ignore, ignore them We don't answer to you Corporate journalists know that their propaganda promoting perpetual war and corporate control of politics cannot withstand rational challenge; they have learned that they lose less credibility by ignoring us

I'm watching you What you click What you love Yeah (Lucky Luke:) They watching what we click on Aye Heaven forbid that we click wrong Thumbs down say what we wanna say Like a moth to the flame anyway In real time check it when they switch up Back by popular demand when they switch up We all have our different point of views But it’s not the popular views So it’s not the news Can’t hear my voice Through the crashing waves Built the sand castle to watch it fade Never been the one for the clickbait It’s the chartbeat that’s building up my heart rate Never asked me to watch my keystrokes Never asked me to watch my mouse though See the little arrow on your screen That’s my middle finger cursing everything

about

A concept future drum n bass album about the media.

The deluxe Bandcamp version comes with two bonus tracks, liner notes, handwritten lyric sheets from the rappers and the M1 piano Ableton sampler instrument I built for track 11. If you want it for free just enter zero as the amount, but be quick as free downloads are limited.

"The artist mashes jungle with future bass to create an entirely unique genre that’s all his own... The music is edgy, daring and new. ★★★★" - CityHub

"We have been listening to the unreleased album and it is stellar." - Audio engineer and investigate journalist Halldór H Bjarnason. Read the interview I did with him about the album before it was released here:
