An unlikely album from me, since it came together from different things, that never really happened. First, there were two tries at a collab album with Janis. In the first iteration, i wanted to make a browser beats rap album with Janis rapping on top. The only tracks made for that are on this album (Honest Thoughts, Mastery). Then there was a second try with collages, that i made a draft of and then Janis should fuck with them to make songs out of. This idea just got one track before it was scrapped (Berlin/Atlanta CONNECTION - aka Intro in the scrapped collab album, the album was supposed to be called what the track is called now).

Second, next to the collab songs being done, there were also some leftovers, that weren't used from both iterations and also some new ideas. So i thought i would wanna make a mixtape out of that material. I realized that i had enough for a full length project, but it feels quite disjointed in what it going for, so i was unsure at first, until i got the idea for the Browser Beats Megamix (with ideas from Octa and Janis being thrown into that as well), which started off a clean up job for that material. Some of it is still like it was when i sent it to Janis (The State of Crypto, Close the Day, I Want Love), but the rest was worked on and added to. Therefore, it was "too good" to be a mixtape and i decided it should be an album instead.

I would usually add concepts to albums, but this time it's possibly the first one in a while, that is "just" a collection of tracks. Sure, there is a certain sampling style running through these, but generally i feel like these are just great tracks. With that, i hope you enjoy this project as much as i do, even if it took a long time of trying to figure out what to do and not being sure what to do next. That this thought turned around was quite quick, but im happy it happened.

Thanks,
Jens
