My love for hip-hop was birthed from old video mixtapes of NBA highlights called, “NBA Jam Session.” These video mixes at the time were predominantly composed of new jack swing hits of the early 90’s and the videos were edited to the beat. This name was in no way attached to a video game at this point. They were released in conjunction with NBA All-Star weekend. When I discovered Jam as a kid, the joy of doing cannonball dunks 50 feet in the air as Bill Clinton, or any other secret character for that matter, was irreplaceable. The 50 foot dunks were a developer’s mistake that had to do with rotation and velocity. When they tested it among the team, they decided it was too cool and kept it. The music of jam was also iconic for a video game, way more funky than anything before it. The composer’s source material/inspiration was “Not Just Knee Deep” by Funkadelic and the game physically put George Clinton in as a secret character as a nod. The original arcade’s audio memory, was minimal, so any announcing would have to be kept short and sweet. Acclaim couldn’t afford Marv Albert’s insane rate to be the in-game announcer, so they found a comedian from Chicago, Tim Kritzkrow, who would record the short phrases in a dated recording booth. He recalled, Sly and the Family Stone’s “Higher” had a section where the full band repeated the phrase, “Boom Shakalaka-laka…” Tim tried it out and immediately it made the cut. The onomatopoeia was indicative of the impact of a slam dunk and the release of the rim…”BOOM! SHAKALAKA!” In 2013, I met @butcher_bear who was on the verge of creating Exploded Drawing. He has always found a way to make me finish records even when I never thought I could. He’s done a few things for me that I could never repay, he’s a true original. @benzo was running a music production/DJ school and introduced me to a synth wizard, Joesph Pailo, who taught me all about synthesis and Ableton, which busted me out of my “loops”. He also introduced me to Keeper and put me in the studio with the love of my life @coracaves. who I would later make @thevaporcaves record with. I’m thankful to him for putting me on that path. (Continued in either comments or next post)

I produced this jam, “Bitch to the Boys” for @thevaporcaves and it’s a big tune. Jam this into the ground, on repeat. More 🔥 coming. 💋💄 . . . #thevaporcaves #vaporcaves #bitchtotheboys #shakatak #cover #austintexas #texas #feelyourself #presave #preload #funk #modernfunk #boogie #nudisco #disco #synthesizer #music #spotify #playlist #applemusic #tidal #synth #austin #streaming #spotifymusic #spotifyartist #linkinbio

“Bitch to the Boys” is officially out. This song means so so SO much to us. It’s a cutting commentary on sexism, consent, and feminism. “Bitch to the Boys” opens with a rap verse about rampant misogyny, and a blunt explanation of why such behavior will not be tolerated. The timeliness hook is quick to follow, brought to life by an infectious bassline, majestic horns, and a searing synth solo by @zee_funk . We hope that you enjoy the trip that is “Bitch to the Boys”. Artwork and mix by the great @birdpeterson. 🦅 💋 . . . #thevaporcaves #vaporcaves #bitchtotheboys #cover #austintexas #texas #feelyourself #presave #preload #funk #modernfunk #boogie #nudisco #disco #synthesizer #music #spotify #playlist #applemusic #tidal #synth #austin #streaming #spotifymusic #spotifyartist #linkinbio
