Stand up all my stargazers Got a new EP for y'all ravers Cooked up some beats in the depths of black holes Combined with the densest rap flows Escape your stress, let fantasy run rampant Hip house vibes, calamity unanswered Get down guys, we dancing on stardust Nebula Rock, just let it bombard us Let's all bask in the cosmic canvas And breathe the atmosphere of toxic planets Life's already futile, just let us get off Celebrate our death from the nebula rock Nah, I'll forgo that earth struggle Skip all the trouble and ride Hubble on the double I'll simply bask in the celestial bliss Ingest every bit of the nebular mist Forget our world let's dance on stardust Better just let the rock bombard us Ignore the meteorite that streaks through the night and constantly teases a strike (My god) please pass that darling Here's hopes that those lower limbs end up parting All my humans pump those tendons Let it all out before our lives end quick Let's all bask in the cosmic canvas And breathe the atmosphere of toxic planets Life's already futile, just let us get off Celebrate our death from the nebula rock Let's all bask in the cosmic canvas And breathe the atmosphere of toxic planets Life's already futile, just let us get off Celebrate our death from the nebula rock Let's all bask in the cosmic canvas And breathe the atmosphere of toxic planets Life's already futile, just let us get off Celebrate our death from the nebula rock

Jovian Jazz 03:01
Bang on the castanets, damage to rappers vexed And it's a rapping set, cannon will blast the next amateur spastic blessed Powerful arp synth swallows your harp plinks, vomit discarded stains up your carpet Don't make me target Funk house 3000, time to commence A diatribe that I'd like to vent You down with interdimensional travel Lacking that astronaut fitted apparel Way more than an AU from the sun Planet hopping is what he'll do for the fun Better than that, never shoot with a gun Instead use most ruthless of tongues Disjointed multis, pop out of the top like pokies You're slow speed with no frees Might be the cosmic version of Mowgli With no fear of cold breach Check out my icy new ting Snatched from Saturn's sizeable rings Her lush smooth folds are a love truth knows Quite unbeknownst to guys who flew in Jovian jazz will soothe her soul swift In a black spaceship that moves with no drift Might engage the cruise control quick In a jif give chick's legume the ol' flick Could broadcast it on FM Two getting serious like XM Could broadcast it on FM Two getting serious like XM The ride is only somewhat eventful Merely pit stops and numerous trips to unconsciousness Fading in and out of reality with each breath of moon atmosphere and each passed nebula cloud Broken up by the occasional meeting of bodies in coital tangle hoisted, mangled Light year, astronomical unit, mile, millimeter Hour, minute, millisecond Pilots ferry an expensive cargo through time and space The black spaceship designated as delorean to a wonderland A disconnect from modern society An exodus from daily stresses And I hope it proves to be as such I hope it proves to be as such An exodus from daily stresses And I hope it proves to be as such I hope it proves to be as such

[Intro] Another world is watching at this moment [Interlude] I wanna talk about getting back to my world Back to Earth I won't try to talk you into changing your mind I only ask that you behave justly Allow the crew to choose Iit's the only democratic way, I feel [Chorus: Savan DePaul] Long way from home Long way from home Long way from home Long way from home Long way from home Long way from home Long way from home Long way from home Long way from home Long way from home Long way from home Long way from home (Long way from) long way from home (Long way from) long way from home (Long way from) long way from home (Long way from) long way from home [Interlude: Paul Sutter] As far as we can tell, and again this is a little bit speculative We're not 100% sure As far as we can tell The Europan ocean, even though it's locked underneath 100 kilometers of ice, may look a lot like our own ocean There's obviously no sunlight on Europa 100 kilometers of ice, that is pitch black No sunlight There's a little bit of sunlight reaching the surface But it's not going deep [Chorus 2: Paul Sutter] Pitch black Going pitch black Pitch black Pitch black 100 kilometers of ice Going pitch black Pitch black Pitch black Pitch black 100 kilometers of ice

Troops on the ground swoop from the clouds Walking like an AT-AT on the snow Drop ships armed, brimming with the guards Sent away to Makemake cuz of probes Sensors on the surface, enemies emerging Mad and nasty like a gang of xenomorphs Blasting challengers like it's Galaga Knock a whole entire shuttle off its course Brethren fighting to gather the essence with our weapons For our blessings Intergalactic oppression Warlords demanding of reverence Dwindling purpose, political murder, and dissident urgency Wicked insurgency sets in Here's a lesson in combatting imperial tactics Skirmishes common yet batshit Fear in your heart when the heat leaves you marked like an asterisk An addendum Witness the glints in the eyes of the kids when you end them When you end them Witness the glints in the eyes of the kids when you end them When you end them Fighting to gather the essence with our weapons Dwindling purpose, political murder, and dissident urgency Wicked insurgency sets in Here's a lesson in combatting imperial tactics Skirmishes common yet batshit Batshit, batshit, batshit, batshit Stationed Stashed up in various places are the casing shell replacements Gotta be vigilant, life is now really at stake kid Face this You will be labeled an infidel, maybe a killer - hell, could be a splinter cell by the elites son! You'll see tons of explosions corroding out team, what do you mean "fuck" Locked in with our ops kid Welcome to hell, I'm wishing you well Aiyyo watch it Gotta be vigilant, life is now really at stake kid Face this Gotta be vigilant, life is now really at stake kid Face this Gotta be vigilant, life is now really at stake kid Face this, face this, face this, face this, face this

I'm past the stage of riding space worms I'll stroke a goddess by her cake curves I ain't the dom, I abide and praise her Might have to prophesy a safe word Before that she'll show the truest of visions Before I let off that lucid emission And then we can cowrite the smoothest of writtens Can't even hop from one God to the next Doesn't matter if the top is the best My creator's old Yahweh, peeps He don't want me in a goddess sheets Might be a false god thing to him How do I explain my kink to him Cause Ishtar's fit, rah - frisky ting And I found all the joys that submission brings But gotta separate those two Even though I rate those two Don't wanna own my partner bro Cause I don't wanna be that dude Man I really hate that dude Who would even make that move Let alone play that tune She owns me, not the other way around That's how I convey that mood Hold up, hold up, I'll be a catholic still I believe in God's fantastic will And now I aim for the pastor's yield soon as I hop out of the Catherine wheel We'll LCP real fast then chill How you mean, how you mean How you mean, how you mean When it's blood pumping for rough fucking, I call the pagan ladies When I see my drive to keep alive, I reach out and I praise He Both important now for performance but only one will save my soul Ain't worth abandoning the holy champion for the dark to swallow me whole My knees buckle for different reasons depending on the context One's my fantasy, one's my savior - neither are just objects And hopefully in the afterlife our merry paths get crossed up I'll feed you stars on silver platters and then you can meet my father

Europa Funk (Minimix) (free) 06:25
I am writing this page from high into space So why would I fade in the sky far away? Well only right i inform you I implore you to know humanity's raw truth I'm talking of the seed that's seeped within people That evolving sense of hatred and divisiveness that proves lethal It's true, people - humans are fuckups I had to step back for a minute and touch up Get a new perspective on the beings we are Our tendency to be prejudiced, conceited, and scarred The underlying adaptation of hypocrisy that infects us all Hey with all due respect to y'all I'm not trying to be pretentious Shit I'm included in this rap critique - so don't forget it From tech addiction, sex, religion I'd like to highlight some seldom-covered issues that need recognition Lack of your smartphone got your lip sweating You fiend for that keyboard- waiting to hit send it Holding the apps that are making you bigheaded Scrolling through your feed and see what your clique sent in You feel inferior, peeved, and a bit jealous That FOMO quote slow whispers and sings endless Fit in with the crowd - nah nigga ya hit pressure Contributing to that feel of depression Socially deteriorate quicker than figs perished Add them cyber bullying kiddies with incentives You got a formula fa victim of crib hanging And it's frequently happening to our friends get it? And it's frequently happening to our friends get it? That nasty epidemic of tech upon humans Look at all us instead of a god human We can't even function proper without tech Sleep patterns fucked up, stuck to our outlets That nasty epidemic of tech upon humans Look at all us instead of a god human We can't even function proper without tech Sleep patterns fucked up, stuck to our outlets Funny how the overlords of Mother Earth Can't even handle life without digital first Funny how the overlords of Mother Earth Can't even handle life without digital first Funny how the overlords of Mother Earth Can't even handle life without digital first I need europa funk to mend a psyche molested slightly Get it right g I need europa funk to mend a psyche molested slightly Get it right g I need europa funk to mend a psyche molested slightly Get it right g I need europa funk to mend a psyche molested slightly Get it right g Shit Ain't all gold that glitters, there sure isn't the alchemy behind it Concerning perversion I wasn't sure I'd find it But now that I've found it I've become excited No longer will it camouflage and hide in plain sighting Not guaranteeing a change in mankind Just an exercise and a chance to expand mind Examine our uncanny knack for labelling Which inevitably will bring the hatred in Animosity between races and creeds Religions, politicians, states, and the leads Does it all stem from biology and that? Or did our own culture make an impact? Can't shake the feeling of emptiness I have Took me until now to finally take grasp Of the flaws of every single person in the world Lay them on my canvas, make sure they're unfurled Line up each one to profile my psyche Then figure out it's molested quite slightly Cannot critique other men and women of Exact negative habits I myself am guilty of Digital addiction- check that right off Generalize, stereotype - my god Ignore the important shit, yeah that's me Overly pretentious- ah you know g Manipulated, lied to, just like you Deep down I know I'm fucked just like you As a result I escape this hell realm But to a degree you do it as well You do it as well Escaping to our own realm What the hell I need europa funk to mend a psyche molested slightly Get it right g I need europa funk to mend a psyche molested slightly Get it right g I need europa funk to mend a psyche molested slightly Get it right g I need europa funk to mend a psyche molested slightly Get it right g That nasty epidemic of tech upon humans Look at all us instead of a god human We can't even function proper without tech Sleep patterns fucked up, stuck to our outlets That nasty epidemic of tech upon humans Look at all us instead of a god human We can't even function proper without tech Sleep patterns fucked up, stuck to our outlets Lack of my smartphone got me lip sweating I fiend for that keyboard- waiting to hit send it Holding the apps that are making me bigheaded Scrolling through me feed and see what my clique sent in I'm feeling inferior, peeved, and a bit jealous That FOMO quote slow whispers and sings endless Fit in with the crowd - nah nigga i hit pressure Contributing to that feel of depression Socially deteriorate quicker than figs perished Add them cyber bullying kiddies with incentives You got a formula fa victim of crib hanging And it's frequently happening to our friends get it? And it's frequently happening to our friends get it? And it's frequently happening to our friends get it? And it's frequently happening to our kids get it? And it's frequently happening to our kin get it?

about

First, I got sick of the bullshit on Earth, all the fighting, all the divisiveness. So I left and went to Jupiter's moon Europa.
Then I made this upon my return from the excursion.

Now I'm back, and bringing you the entirety of my findings. All of the musings have been snatched from the depths of the cosmos, pulsating and explosive; living extraterrestrial entities breathing melody and secreting rhythms that have not yet hit human ears. Part organized chaos, part blissful ambiance, part conscious meditation, part infectious bombast. All celestial.

Original EP was released on the 20th of January, the Bandcamp version of the EP includes an instrumental jam in addition to the six songs off of the original EP.
