Ocean’s Go (justplainpaul mix)
This is a little gem I wanted to pull off the hard drive and share. My colleague and friend Douglas from the group Classics asked me to do a remix of one of his tunes. Needless to say, it was an honor. It was a fun project, for it allowed me to expand my production techniques, and use a lot of my old external synths, plus just geek out! Enjoy!
I just wanted to post a farewell to my dad who passed away on Saturday morning. He was a man who loved the simple life, but was such a complex individual. I can best describe his caring and generous heart as “a man who would give you the shirt off his back and have another in his back pocket to give you.” I am grateful for the years I had with him, although sad that adult life got in the way of living.
We didn’t spend much one on one time together in the past few years, but we remained in solid contact and left nothing unsaid, and no issues to contend with. There remains a huge void in my heart and soul that I know will never be refilled. Thank you, Dad, for the kindness, the guidance, and for you through the years. I wouldn’t trade ANY moment of it for anything in the world.
I’d like to thank Brad for the opportunity to remix one of his powerhouse tunes. I met him briefly in person at the “Be Who U Is Holiday Jam” back in November, and my first impression definitely says he’s all about the music community. Positive, uplifting point of view, and something worth saying in his lyrics. Keep doing what you do, Brad.
Ain’t Budin’ (Push Comes To Shove Mix)
I’ve been hard at work on some new material for the next album. Ideas are brewing and coming along nicely. I am trying to set a loose goal for spring or early summer. And there are a few guests this time around that I look forward to working with.
That’s it for now folks!

From the “Be Who U Is Holiday Jam” hosted at Locals Only in Indianapolis, IN, on November 28th. I was introduced to many great members of the Indianapolis Hip-Hop scene at this show, and I can honestly say I hope the relationship grows. Fantastic, uplifting crew that love the community and music.
This is a tune from my debut album “MILES”. After receiving several questions as to how the tune was constructed, I decided that I should post some insight as to how it was done.
Section B begins at the 1:23 mark. That section actually was the initial idea of the tune that I shifted over to the middle as a break from the glitchy portions. I bounced down section B to create the other two sections.
Section C, which starts at 2:19, actually is the result of the initial bounce down. I used SupaTrigga to create the gestures that you here there. I then took several takes and chopped between the segments to create section A.
Give it a listen and see if you can distinguish between the segments in A and C, and compare them to section B.
