It all started with a title. I always wanted to do a follow up to the Dead Dog Dance but I needed the right title and then one day it hit me. Dead. Dog. Disco. It was so simple yet so perfect and I looked it up, no one has ever used or coined this phrase before. I always had a fascination with disco music and the 1970's as a whole ever since I was a teenager, everything from that era looked like it was so much fun. Everyone looked so care free and happy, I wanted to be a part of that desperately. I even wrote a song called Disco Night when I was 17 after watching Saturday Night Fever for the first time. Initially for this project I planned to use disco remixes and modern day edm songs, but after a while I realized I couldn't half ass this and decided to go all in on the disco part. So I made a playlist of 70 disco classics that were remixed and from that 70 I chose 20. I went with remixes because I wanted a modern take on these songs and some of them I can honestly say sound more exciting than the originals. My goal was to write more upbeat songs because I felt like Fast Forward was a little dour which made sense because it was all about becoming an adult, but I wanted to have fun again. Then 2020 happened...

So I started writing this in Febuary with my intention to release it on the 8th anniversary of the Dead Dog Dance which was May 29th, but then the pandemic started and I kinda fell back for a while to reflect on everything happening. I wasn't in the mood for "fun" at the moment. Then the BLM protests started to happen and I couldn't keep quiet on it, so from that moment on I started writing again and the direction changed from fun to basically current events/how I was feeling at the time. Even though the state of the world sucks, it definitely helped improve the quality of the songs here by quite a bit. Writing this helped me deal with the anger and anxiety that's plaguing the world every single day, but don't worry cause I still made room for positive jams as well. On this release you'll see guest spots from a lot of my friends and even though I had to cowrite most of their verses, their contributions were very valuable and meaningful to me. I like to share what I do because I love it, writing songs makes me feel good about myself and in this crummy year, it's all I can ask for. A big party was also planned but obviously that can't be done, doesn't mean a smaller secret shindig can't take its place. Enough talk, I hope you like what you read/hear and I hope you take good care of yourself. No doubt about it, every time I look back on the Dead Dog Disco it'll be a snapshot of 2020 for better or worse.

2025 Update:

Dead Dog Disco has everything you could ask for from an album written by me, anthems about feeling good and living in the moment, thought provoking rhymes, funny punchlines, catchy hooks and a awesome beat selection. I kid you not when I say that these are hands down the best beats I ever written to on a album. The modern disco jams are straight up ear candy and it reminds me of the awesome party I had to celebrate this coming out. I wanted to get up and dance in my living a few times while listening to it. The pacing of the songs are great too, the track list didn't start to feel long until right before the end. I felt like I had a lot more to say this time around compared to Fast Forward and not just because the world was in great disarray at the time. I mean I had more ideas for interesting songs like "Last Day of Summer", "Haunted" and "90s Fever". The creative juices were certainly flowing because I don't think I'll have an album this stuffed again. I wish my collaborators were more involved in the writing process, but I managed to write some cool verses out of what little they gave me so I feel conflicted on that. What I enjoyed the most was the colorful language I was using so even when I wasn't listening to the music I could easily picture all the grooves and imagery I was rhyming about. Even with all the references to 2020, this is still an album I could return regularly based on the quality alone. There's a lot of multi layered rhymes in this but I often wandered if I should have scaled them back, "Soular Eclipse" is a straight up tongue twister where I think the message gets lost a little. Either way this was a treat to revisit, my best non furry album so far.
