I don’t usually share much more than personal writing or recordings on here, but this review for the latest project by The Maxx (aka Maxx Julian) I’m featured on, written by talented MC/producer/writer Sincere Vega is too good not to share it with you. 

Enjoy the write-up and the music!

ENTER.. THE MAXX

I am a producer. I live and breathe sounds 25/8/366. Throughout my travels, I learned that most people who have the ability to create rhythms or beats are most definitely not producers. The definition of a producer for me lies beyond simple sample chopping and linear drum…

First ever review of one of my books. I’m emotional.

sincerevegamusic:

I actually got this book in the mail a couple of days ago. I let it sit on my bedroom dresser in the plastic waiting for the perfect time to experience it. Being an artist, I realize the importance of knowing that my words and thoughts were truly felt. This morning i decided to rip the…

Here’s a little something I recorded a little while ago. Quite sensual I would say… As usual, big thank you to Fathom 9 for this incredible instrumental. Very fitting. Enjoy!

The final version is now available for free D/L. Go pleasure your ears and spread the word!

Featuring yours truly…

My words + my voice + Fathom 9’s music… Go pleasure your ears

Thursday 24th March, 13.43, London

I am a sweet whisper in you ears. You can hear me only faintly but you know I’m here. Sometimes, you want to ignore me but you can never make me go silent. I am… Desire. That delicate melody playing in your mind, making you feel alive. That voice calling you, enticing you and making your thoughts wander to secret places where you are surrounded by pleasure. Sometimes, I am heard when you least expect it, when you are trying to focus on something else. I am like a siren’s enchanting song, as irresistible and powerful. I may seem soft and harmless but I am highly addictive, impossible to turn away from. And I won’t stop until you give in to my hypnotising chant.

Sometimes I am afraid. I look around me and all I see is destruction, mediocrity and suffering. This world I once knew is disappearing before my eyes and I feel powerless. I reminisce over my childhood, over the way things were back then and I come back to a reality that is nothing like that, a scenario that could have been a great sci-fi best-seller many years ago. The only thing is, this is no fiction. The world is most definitely coming to an end, the one I am used to in any case. I know I sound too crazy or pessimistic to some, but that is how I feel. Things are definitely changing drastically, most of the time for the worse and there is no denying this. I am no conspiracy theorist but I don’t believe in coincidences either. And all the drama happening lately, whether it is natural catastrophes, revolutions turning into blood baths, laws voted that allow chipping humans, make me think. A lot. And I don’t like what I come up with. I know change is a constant, everything runs in cycle, and it’s only logical that the world we know, like everything else we experience, has to go in a circle, which has to be closed eventually. But some of the changes I am thinking of don’t look like a natural evolution of things. I know there’s not much point in going on about this for pages and pages but I am convinced there is a bigger plan. The only question worth asking is: what can I do? Obviously I can’t personally change the course of ‘history’ or have an influence on global events. A good friend of mine gave me the solution in two words: dream and fight. Fight to dream. Find something beautiful, something that is worth fighting for and enlighten other people. Not everyone, not those who wish to stay blind, unwilling to open their minds to see the reality of things. But those who can relate to my feelings, this handful of people who have a passion burning inside, a fire that prevents them from being swallowed by the surrounding darkness. Those that wish to struggle against the programmed dehumanisation and manipulation. Those people who refuse to drown in those frightening and tumultuous waters, to be imprisoned in the mental cages they are being led to. If the end of this world is near indeed, then we need to make the most of what’s left, instead of letting ourselves be diminished by despair and depression. We need to keep fighting, build a legacy for whoever or whatever will come after. We need to promote love and beauty, because that is all which is worth fighting for.
