Hello engineers and producers! We are gonna sell this sweet Otari MX-70 1" machine that we've had here since early 2015. There's been some awesome albums and singles recorded by Spencer Garn on this sucker with many local Atlanta artists that have recorded here, and some are lined up for release yet in 2018 that aren't completed yet! A few other local engineers have also used it and after it was purchased in SC in late 2014, it's now made a home here in ATL. We would like to talk to you about keeping it going here in Atlanta at your studio! Please let us know if you are interested. This is a great machine on a budget for someone's first or just an upgrade! Talk to ya soon!

Digging around old files and remembering this session!
Our good friend and engineer, Morgan Garcia, worked on the newest De La Soul album "and the Anonymous Nobody." He also mixed many of the tracks and brought them over to record some drums to our tape machine for that analog sound! They also recorded some bass and keys that day as well. The song they were working on is "Memory Of," which features Estelle & Pete Rock!

"Hey, what’s up, it’s Gatt Meania, the rapper from another planet
where what I’m doing right now is totally not weird at all..."

Dude Hugs is pleased to present Gatt Meania's "The Rapper From Another Planet", an absurdist satire of hip hop gone wrong in an ammosexual dystopia

In a world where fi****ms have achieved self-awareness, humans merely act as caretakers for their gun-fu overlords

Gatt Meania somehow escaped, and now lives with us here on Earth

From the title track to more flippant entries like "Big ol Butt", Gatt is letting us know just what things are like on his planet, and how it's not as different from our world as we might like to think

This record came about from trying to find an outlet for the beats I make for MIDIITISatl

A DJ told me about sales funnels, which led me to Russell Brunson, which is how I found out about Legion Beats and Anno Domini Beats

After joining Legion and AD's Midi Money group, I got access to some of their beats

These songs emerged over those beats, with extensive help from Graham Mark Dowdy and some choice contributions from Naomi Lavender

It was recorded, mixed and mastered at Diamond Street Studios by Greenia
Thank you to Big Takeover Magazine for premiering "Heartstrings" and your kind words! -SR

In 2019 a band was formed out of pure chance which all spawned from my own chaotic mind field laced mind and circumstances at the time. The band became known as The Strange Truth of It All and the first LP was recorded at Diamond Street Studios with Matt Greenia at the helm. Along with some of my closet musical brothers we made a pretty great first record. True hearted and pumping the purest of soul blood.

Now we’ve, yet again, found ourselves a another crossroads in creation. I’m proud to announce that the new album “bone picker” by The Strange Truth of it All is so close to seeing it he light of day and being tangibly yours, at least digitally. Hehe

Stay tuned….
