01022020 (October 2020)

In late 2018, I published a bass house-ish song on vvvvv (NoSun) called Cyberdystopia, and it sparked an idea for my first concept album. The plan was to have sort of what the Time double EP offered: 14 tracks with a 50/50 split between lo-fi hip hop and bass music. One represented a chill mood present and one distorted and dystopian-like future.

Once the COVID-19 pandemic caved in back in March, things got a lot hectic than usual. Some of my collaborators couldn't find the right time to record vocals or find a time to collaborate on the production. Because of this, I had more time to do whatever I had to do in golf and further education. I also had time to discover new music, new genres, and new artists to follow. That led me to start rewriting the entire album and pushing some tracks off to the side.

These 5 tracks were the ones that got pushed off the album. They represented the present-day, lo-fi hip hop side of the early days during the album's creation. And just to get everyone on the same picture here, 01022020 (or January 02, 2020) was the last time I finished producing either of these tracks.

Featured collaborators include Elijah Boisvert, V!CE, and Voltur. This project contains a rerelease of V!CE's Late with Elijah Boisvert.
