Description : I saw a thread on the forums about making a "10 minute song" where you do EVERYTHING, from write to master, within 10 minutes.

Two times through on a Roland EM10, playing with the drum machine/One-Touch and a flute voice to make a simple little piece of elevator music from a game set in the 50s or something. I put a mild chorus onto the flute, but otherwise haven't changed anything.

If you have time take a listen and give JHolmes some feedback.

Elevated! Great lift music as you say. Nice progression and melody, this is indeed a happy song. I have to congratulate you on this creation in 10 minutes, it really is a catchy tune...

Thanks for getting involved in this daft idea,but some great music has come from it, so I feel we all are winners...

Cheers Slap...

I really enjoyed throwing something together so quickly. Since I had to do everything live, it threw a huge wrench in my normal process. Instead of trying to force my work into 4 and 8 bar loops, I just... had fun. I think it worked out better, musically speaking, than my normal method.

In short, I think I might write the initial versions of my new songs like this. Your "daft idea" opened a new door for me; thanks for putting such an interesting breakout idea.

The ambient track I finished tonight. Got some ideas just watching a movie.
I used a tiny fragment from a Paperkup's track - Bits of a piece.

Description : So, I stumbled across this dope beat by one of our own, Mytch, and literally begged him to let me jump on it. Thankfully, he was cool with it, so here it is. I hope he likes what I came up with, and I hope you like it too.

It's pretty similar to how I used to rap back in my early days, but of course, these days I don't use profanity haha.

Description : This is hardcore hip hop. Very Dr DRE, Lil Uzi Vert, Nicki Minaj style with a euro dance vibe /feel and with a hip hop beat. Lot's of bass in the track too. Hope you enjoy my new rap track. I have edited the previous track since I am allowed only 1 upload per day here. This is the final mastered version. The previous version had mastering problems which I have adjusted here.

Description : This started with Mindway's song 'Hammer Fall' - he is a frequent collaborator with us, both our beats as well as his. This time we did both - Pnnywze Made some drops and blended those into the existing track, and its a must hear man. Hope you like it!

Vocals: Vizzio, Professor Hexx, Mindway, and Rob Fame
