    MoonChild Presents: Love For The Music Part 1

    “Love for the Music”; is the exact reason why this album was even created. Its substance contains beats that I made between 2008 -2011.

  • PropaneLV “One More Time” [M83 “Midnight City” Remix]

    PropaneLV “One More Time” [M83 “Midnight City” Remix]

    On “One More Time”, @PropaneLV does what we all fear the most… he takes a somewhat sacred indie hit adapted from M83’s “Midnight City” mixed by Chi Duly, and raps over it. Fortunately, the result is favorable. The long drawn out M83 vocals in “Midnight City” become another layer of instrumentation, complemented by PropaneLV’s nostalgic…

    Dave Patten “Misérable” [MUSIC VIDEO]

    “Misérable” is the epic revenge tale of a heart-shattered accountant (Dave Patten), who’s fianceé is murdered in cold blood by Philly’s most notorious crime Boss (David Ricks). Left for dead, Patten makes a deal with the devil through the unlikely appearance of an old witch doctor (Kevin Brown). This is quite possibly my favorite video…
