Confidence Omenai
This release refuses the normalization of Black death, holding both a record of loss and a warning about the damage violence leaves in its wake. It is a vow of liberation and resurrection: Black life will rise, whole and unburied.

Big Samir
Born Champion Sound System energy. This anthem is intentionally built on sports metaphors and structured like a game plan: reclaim the ball, reset, lace up, breathe, and clock back in. No free game, no apologies, just discipline, faith, and stamina until the tank is empty.
The Silence is Out of Tune
An experimental duo from Norway blending art-pop, film-inspired textures, and theatrical storytelling into immersive electronic music. This release is remixed by yours truly and reimagines the original with cinematic breakbeat energy.

The Breakbeat Bishop
Releasing under Maurice's alter ego, this re-release
Elevated Breaks Vol. 1 is a collection of rhythm-forward instrumentals that blend breakbeats, hip-hop sensibility, jazz influence, and cinematic detail.
