Becoming a Dad later this month has me in my lullaby beats bag, enjoying the quiet summer mornings before they make their entrance.

Hoping y’all are having a great summer!

Somber start to this week folks, introspecting some future Daddy things after a great weekend at Bastid’s BBQ & prenatal classes. Always been inspired by those Mom’s & Dad’s out there who stay active artistically; this one’s for you

Overlooking the Toronto Harbourfront got me in my bag y’all. With these twins due next month I’m pulling out the stops, pushing out the slaps

Hope everybody is having a great summer!

My friends Sargeant x Comrade just put out a great project I’ve been rocking out to, Power Vol. 1, and so I created a lil mashup routine using ONLY sounds found on the record.

Whether you you’re picking up what I’m putting down here or not, you should head over to their Bandcamp and support!

Bringing the ruckus this week to the Whitby Music Fest… and maybe I’ll just keep bringing it around wherever I go, leaving little morsels of it for y’all to chew on.

Pickup your Monday and drop it off Friday with me at the Town Pump House in Whitby!

As a lover of soundtracks, how could I not be drawn to the eerie pianos & strings Severance?

What kind of card carrying MPC’ist would I be if I didn’t flip this?

Ima fan of 3, for a lot of reasons; very unique take, not afraid to be really dark, the perfect ending story-wise, crazy cast, Fincher’s debut as one of my fav directors

An instrumental MPC routine of “Move Back” from my EP “Educated Guesses” w/ the incredible Henry Canyons, which features his brother Ollie on the hook, and a killer horn section composed by my guy Octavio Santos!

A lot of cats were not feelin’ this flick, but I loved it. But I also love throwbacks to the classic stuff, which is seen as lazy, so I’m not sure where that leaves me with this…

A&R’ing is curating, and curating is an art form, and some of y’all ain’t that.

But I live in a glass house so… those beat packs I sent, my bad 😅

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Let’s go!!
