dC ‘The Session’

Posted by =p! on July 23, 2010

Before we became Punky Fresh, we made hip hop instrumentals… We were in high school and I would ditch my classes to work on music in the electronic music studio at Glenbrook North High School. We were such nerds and passionate in making music that we’d stay in til 8 or 9pm working on it at school.

Dan and I worked hard on what would become ’The Session’ from August 2003-March 2004. We released the album independently through gramCracker records on April 20, 2004. We were known as dC.

We deeply thank Mr. Chapman at Glenbrook North for encouraging us to make music. If it wasn’t for that classroom and Mr. Chapman, none of this today would be possible.

I haven’t listened to ‘The Session’ in years but in my mind, it’s a brilliant instrumental album. The post production on the album (mixing, effects, mastering, etc.) may not be the greatest, but the music itself, from melodies, arrangement and structuring blows my mind still today. It boggles my mind that we were only 17 and 18 years old and we didn’t sample anything, it’s pure organic electronic music. everything was original.

i would love to remix ‘The Session’ and per haps change some of the instruments, and definitely re-master it….

I have posted the album in its entirety for free in MP3, so if you’re in the mood for some chilled out beats, then enjoy our debut album from 2004. Stay tuned for new Punky Fresh material. I promise it will blow your mind to the moon.
