it’s been a long time coming…

Design: Oliver Cartwright

This month’s track is the release of the premiere single from my Gas Galaxy album. It is called Hypetronic and was co-produced by Chapter 7 and myself. Chapter 7 on the mix as well. My Cubic Zirconia family released this maxi-single style EP on their imprint, Don’t Cry Recordings which features an exclusive remix by Lunice (LuckyMe/Mad Decent) including instrumentals. Do yourself a favor and check out Lunice if you’ve never heard his music.

I think it’s awesome to be able to do this and ultimately one of the creative and cool things I’ve been wanting to do with this project and these songs including remixes, video’s etc. that are coming soon!!

Listen to a preview of Hypetronic, the remix, and instrumentals below and purchase it on iTunes today.

THE MOTHERFUCKING RAM!!!

Today we bring to you the first official Gas Galaxy summer track called Zodiac Killer. Produced by myself with some fine tuning and mixed by the one and only Chapter 7. This track has been in the making for a while as well as the artwork for many of these and we are happy to finally share this track and accompanying art with you and yours. I think it’s safe to say it goes pretty hard but you can decide for yourself. ENJOY.

a huge THANK YOU to Chapter 7 and Oliver Cartwright…THE DREAM TEAM

It’s meant to relate to the Japanese flag with the central red dot meaning rising sun. So like the start of a new day new beginning. At the same time look fast forward into the future -Oliver Cartwright

Oliver designed this before the tragic earthquake and chaos ensued in Japan where he was residing in Tokyo. All of these works have underlying meaning but this one is especially indicative of the true power of the universe and of it’s Japanese origin being a product of Oliver’s environment creating it while living there. He has since fled to safety in South Korea with his girlfriend who is depicted in the above image for this release. Thank you Ollie.

Low and behold the third installment of Gas Galaxy brought to you by myself, Chapter 7, and of course Oliver Cartwright. This one called Youniverse and marks the first of many original productions to come from yours truly. After Camu passed I turned to producing as another form of expression to somehow channel him and his creative vision musically. Chapter 7 on the mix of course. Dig it.

The time is finally here and the plan is underway. For a while now I have been talking about the progress of the Gas Galaxy album; writing/producing for what seems like an eternity with my partner Chapter 7. Well, we are in the final stages of it’s completion. HOWEVER, as the times change every day as we know it, so does everything from marketing a project to the way music is released.

So with a great deal of thought and deliberation, we (Chapter 7, Oliver Cartwright, and myself) have decided to bring you the Gas Galaxy LP over the span of this entire year. We will be doing an online only release via yakballz.net of one new song per month from Gas Galaxy for the rest of 2011 starting now in January.

yes ONE SONG PER MONTH FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR! It will not only allow us to focus and put our energy into each song every month as they individually deserve it, but to give YOU something to put in rotation on your monthly playlists with video’s and other cool additions surrounding the music to look out for all year long. By the end of the year you will have the first phase of the album in it’s entirety. Ultimately we will release it officially for purchase in the second phase with swagged out remixes and even more new songs.

Each song release will be accompanied by new and exclusive artwork by Oliver Cartwright; the man responsible for the art behind our latest leak, Machine, as well as original art for The Compass and the creator behind the innovative music video for it. Think of it as a visual for every track that will stand on it’s own and will also connect as part of the big picture to tell a story as it progresses with the music to the end.

To kick things off proper, this Thursday January 27th, we will be releasing the first song of many from the album. The song is titled DSMU and will be available for free download here at yakballz.net!

This is a very exciting time for me to be able to release these songs the way I want to with such talented people in my corner. I’d like to thank everyone who has supported the music throughout and this project in advance. If you are a label rep, have a serious business inquiry, or publishing company interested in officially releasing or licensing music from this project please inquire within at contact@yakballz.net

Thank You and Welcome to Gas Galaxy. Stay tuned.

Best,

Yak Ballz
