“Basically, I began this document as an try to pay homage to Dj Shadow’s traditional album ‘Entroducing’.
I spent 6 months listening to data and cataloguing samples, as I wished to supply a full size, pattern based mostly album that had many moods and preparations.
After 6 months of digging within the crates, I began engaged on the songs. I produced 3 beats over a weekend that had been largely one part loops, and that’s once I bought caught. All of the samples I catalogued nonetheless sounded dope on their very own, however I had hassle visualizing the way to string any of them collectively inside a single track to create completely different preparations.
One weekend, after sitting on these beats for a couple of week, I made a decision to take a contemporary strategy that I hadn’t accomplished earlier than. I loaded up an electrical guitar VST and jammed some guitar riffs on some open drums on track 1 (‘Farewell’). What occurred subsequent caught me off guard, as I these riffs that simply began pouring out of me.
Over the course of the subsequent 2 weeks I wrote the ENTIRE ‘Leaving Earth’ album utilizing a mix of samples and VST devices.
It was a real second of inspiration, all of the music I cherished outdoors of hip hop was pouring by way of me and manifesting on this album. All of the whereas, I began forming this story narrative a couple of DJ who feels trapped on earth, and longs to go away the planet to discover the wonders of the universe.
I had the entire album accomplished, and began enjoying it for my band mates – and their response was common ‘This music is unbelievable dude, however you gotta allow us to play the rock preparations as a band’.
And thus, the ultimate interplay of this album was born – a hybrid of pattern based mostly hip hop with stay band exhausting rock, with a DJ because the lead. I’m not positive there’s something actually prefer it on the market, however in spirit, I feel its nonetheless a direct descendent of ‘Entroducing’.”
