Spike’s Kava Bar was the place to be on 4/20 for their incredibly vibed out 4/20 Gathering!! Yesterday I recorded myself spinning music at Spike’s Kava Bar — tracks run the gamut from funk to house to hip hop and more. And of course I had to drop some skratches and beat juggles for the true hip hop fans!

Strawberry THC infused drank

Spike’s Kava Bar is an incredibly cool Kava, Kratom and full spectrum THC bar located near La Aurora Market in Gainesville Florida at 3743 W University Ave. They serve all kinds of wild and wonderful drinks that don’t include demon alcohol (as my friends from the Tabernacle of Hedonism would put it). It’s a fantastic way to spend a random Friday/Saturday night. I’ll definitely be announcing the next time I perform at Spike’s Kava Bar on my blog so keep your eyes on my website for more updates.

Oh, and peep the freestyles in part 4! Special guests Saint Tellah and Spyda Trini Venom popped their heads in the building to smash faces with some ear blistering freestyles. Click the 3-dots on the right hand side of each music player and click “Download” to save the mp3 file to your computer for leisurely listening in the car and otherwise.

Part 1 – Warm up fonk

Part 2 – EDM Glow Up

Part 3 – Hip Hop Haze

Part 4 – Freestyles over DJ Robzilla (and other) beats feat St. Tellah & Spyda Trini Venom

Lastly, if you want to see the playlist of tracks I dropped for my set yesterday check out the Google Sheet of the tracklisting at this link. You can find metadata for each track in the spreadsheet, including track name, artist name, album name and start/end points of each track for easy identification of the song within the mix.

See you for drinks at the next one!

Yoooo — my latest beat, “Mystic Bunny,” is primed to blow your mind with some trippy visuals and headnodic happy vibes. So, strap on some headphones, get ready to vibe, and let me be your guide on this journey!

Get in the HELL

What the !@#$ is a Mystic Bunny anyway? Great question, glad you asked it. I dug deep in the ancient archives and found this dusty ass scroll with more information:

Stories whispered in hushed undertones spoke of this elusive entity; tales woven with threads of old magic and echoes of a time when earth and sky were not so separate, and beings of wondrous power freely roamed the world. He was not as mundane creatures of his kind. He was of peculiar size, as large as a small elk, with fur as white and pure as the first snowfall on the peaks of the Mystic Mountains. His eyes, unlike any others, sparkled with the colors of the cosmos, and in them, one could glimpse ancient wisdom and playful curiosity. It was gifted with the ability to understand and converse in all human tongues, a skill he wielded to guide those who sought his counsel. Yet, his most notable enchantment was his aura, as he shimmered with an ethereal glow, evoking the image of a star descended from the celestial canopy.

It was only a week ago I created the secret “Dojo” section of my website, enabling token gated content for owners of a DJ Robzilla NFT music player, my incredibly cool and funky fans. But now, a glimmering new entity has appeared on the horizon to shepherd you into a new age…

I am ecstatic to welcome you to yet another incredible chapter in my exploratory journey of blockchain, music and NFTs. Today, I’m taking a giant leap into the future of music with this brand new interactive NFT music player: Crystalline Phoenix.

Crystalline Phoenix isn’t your typical JPEG NFT. It’s a unique and interactive experience that pushes the boundaries of music consumption in the digital age.

An NFT Music Player

This isn’t just about listening to music – it’s about shifting the paradigm and correcting the hyper corporate power dynamics in music. It’s about freeing artists from predatory loan shark record labels. It’s about artists connecting with fans in new, more direct ways. And it’s about giving my fans a sense of ownership over their music — something that has sadly been missing in the era of ever-present streaming.

You might ask, “What makes Crystalline Phoenix so interesting?” Well, apart from it being a fun experiment in the fusion of technology and art, this NFT music player is designed to unlock token-gated content at dojo.djrobzilla.net by logging in with your web3 wallet.

This means you can enjoy exclusive access to stems, song downloads in various formats such as ogg, mp3, wav, and flac, special liner notes for each track, downloadable track art… and potentially more down the road.

What’s more, Crystalline Phoenix is fully playable in the GameStop Chrome Web Wallet. This NFT music player integrates seamlessly into this popular wallet, ensuring you can enjoy Crystalline Phoenix on whatever devices you have your GS Chrome wallet installed on.

Thank You

Before we go any further, I want to take a moment to express my profound gratitude. To all my DJ Robzilla fans, subscribers, and Discord members – thank you for your support. I wouldn’t be here without you. Your encouragement and feedback have been integral to my growth.

To celebrate your support, I am dropping this Red Packet for anyone who reads this to redeem for a free NFT of “Crystalline Phoenix”. Scan the below QR code in your Loopring Wallet to claim your NFT. There are only 100 available, so grab ’em while they’re hot!

And our journey is far from over. As I continue to innovate and push the boundaries of music and technology, I invite you to join. Your thoughts, ideas, and feedback are invaluable. If you haven’t done so already, I highly encourage you to join my Discord channel. It’s a space where you can connect with fellow music enthusiasts, discuss music/crypto/tech/gaming, and get regular news and updates directly from me.

Conclusion

Crystalline Phoenix is more than a music player. It’s a bold step into the future of music, a testament to blockchain innovation — and above all, a tribute to you: the incredible communities surrounding Loopring, GameStop, NFTs, and lovers of music everywhere. I can’t wait for you to experience it.

Let’s continue to push forward together!

SONIC BOOM! Here comes another beat tape to slap in your favorite media player and nod your head to. Out now, is my newest instrumental beat tape: “An Evening with Reginald The Rangoon”. Is his top-hat made of his flesh or is his flesh made of top-hat? Reginald screams, for he does not know.

I crafted this beat tape as a true labor of love. I dug up some gems from the archives and doctored them up with some mastering love, whipping out my increasingly polished skills in Ableton. Speaking of, did you know that Ableton is running a promotion right now that’ll get you a free upgrade to the latest version of Ableton when you upgrade from 10? I swear this isn’t an ad, I am only doing my part to help keep producers sounding fresh.

I made this beat tape in the hopes that those who would listen to it would do the right thing: Eat the rich.

Peep the video preview of “Monocles Up” here:

Monocles up, old chaps!

Listen to “Cane Strut” on SoundCloud here:

Download “Cane Strut” free from SoundCloud

You can even follow my music on Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, and more by visiting my HyperFollow page so you can bump my beat tapes in the car on the way to work.

Although, buying my music from Bandcamp is by far the best way to support: so visit music.djrobzilla.net and gently apply pressure to the follow button to receive occasional updates from me when I release new music.

And what’s that faint whistling on the horizon…? Is that… the brewings of a beat tape coming on New Years Day? It MUST be. Official announcement coming this December 15th.

Soon.

Another month, another neck snapping release from DJ Robzilla! Peep the steez in this brand new aural experience: “Chom Zilla”. All of the beats on this album except for “Wear A Mask Dummy” are 100% sample free. “Wear A Mask Dummy” uses a sample from the game Undertale, and since video game companies very VERY rarely sue for copyright on sampled music from their games (not to mention precedents being set in courts that sampling video game music is usually considered “fair use”), I feel confident saying you are welcome to use this music in your creative projects without fear of copyright litigation, either from me or from any sampled artists.

Anyway, if you wanna hear the new album, visit this link to listen to all the tracks. And don’t forget to buy and download it, because the download comes with a SUPER SECRET track you can only hear after you purchase it! Let me know what you think in the comments below this post 🙂

Which beat is your favorite? Your least favorite? Let me know in the comments below!
