Asylum Digital

Out today on !!

“Cacophony” is the 1st out of 3 projects that I've been a part of w/ power-take-Off - we really did a WHOLE LOT of work (in just a few days).

I'm proud to have worked on half of this record w/ , Trevere, , , Kyle & my friend Kathleen (right before she passed). I believe that we finished the project exactly as you guys intended & I know that you'd love it!!

This one's HEAVY!!! Turn it up for KJ!!!

I've FINALLY gotten my Echoplex EP3 up & running 🏃‍♂️💯!!!
I've had it for 20+ years, but it had a whole lotta things wrong & it never really sounded right. Parts are more & more difficult to get & if certain things go wrong..........it could be fubar. So yeah, I took this over to Rob Preston / RFI Audio a while back. He got it to a certain point, but was hitting some walls. The homie turned me onto the rebuild kit & Brian Landrum over at Heyday Asheville. Brian got it the rest of the way home!!!

thank you thank you thank you guys

It really sounds fantastic!!! Can't wait to use this on some records!!!

This Shure Beta52 mic is probably a metaphor for my whole career 😁

This is like the 3rd one of these that I've had in the past 30yrs. Bought one new in the late 90s. I hated it, so it sat on the shelf & eventually I sold it on eBay. Got another new one probably about 7yrs later.........& again, the same damn thing.
Then I took another chance on a used one. I can't even remember from where, but I know I COULDN'T have paid much for it (maybe free99). Anyway, I dug in & forced myself to start seriously using it (probably about 2.5yrs ago) on a project.

And I'm telling y'all - I love this thing so much now!! It's my favorite kick drum mic!! And with compression & eq, it sounds EXACTLY how I want a kick to sound.

There ain't nothing different with the mic. Zero. It's all me.
My perspective is different.
Or probably mostly that I clearly didn't know wtf I was doing 🤣.

What's something that you routinely use now that absolutely did NOT work or make any sense at all before - then something happened & boom - It's all so clear now?!?!?!

We got something special with going on MLK Monday . Come hang with myself and the homies & spinning all vinyl sets and Chef Hector rocking a special menu and drink specials along with a fish fry for the evening. We have more coming soon. Put this on your calendar and pull up! Jan. 15 7-10/ FREE

Woooooooo!!!!
Tony McCullough is hands down one of the baddest mfrs walking around this city & brought all the 🔥🔥 on this take. His improv at the end of this song, took it to a whole new place 🙏 thank you man.
Gaaaaaaahhhhhhd.........I can not WAIT for yall to hear this project!!!

We had a blast hosting an intimate listening party for Dherick Jacobs (Columbia, SC) & his vinyl release of “Frances” at the studio a couple of weeks back. Big thanks to everyone that dropped in!!!
