New Video out for Honky Tonk Floor

New Video out for Honky Tonk Floor


Budding musician, been at it on and off for more years than I care to mention. Lately, I mostly perform ambient, EDM, Funk and electronic music. I fell in love with the sound possibilities of synthesizers back around 1980, before that I played organ and piano. Only a fraction of my catalog is here. If you see some music elsewhere and want it here, contact me. See my linktree for more.
This release is now widely available in the Phillip Wilkerson catalog on digital stores and streaming platforms, including YouTube Music.

7 track album
I recently learned something that surprised me: for many people, Moby is known almost entirely because of a single album - Play.
Digging a bit deeper, I found out the story behind it, and it completely changed the way I see that record. Play was supposed to be his last album. He recorded it in a small home studio, almost as a quiet farewell.
What makes it special is that he built many of its tracks around old vocal samples from early 20th-century folk and gospel recordings. He shaped the music around those voices, set the mood, and released it and almost nobody cared. At least, not at first.
The breakthrough happened when Moby made a bold decision: he licensed every single track from the album. Commercials, movies, TV, soundtracks - suddenly Play was everywhere. It became a massive cultural moment, completely unexpectedly.
To me, it's a fascinating example of how timing, luck, and real artistic vision can collide. His later albums never reached the same commercial peak, but they're not "worse" — music just keeps moving, shifting, evolving, the same way everything else does (haha, especially the Internet as in my previous posts).
I'm almost sure you've heard at least one of these:
Natural Blues - https://youtu.be/z3YMxM1_S48
Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad? - https://youtu.be/o1Xsj9-3Pvo
Porcelain - https://youtu.be/IJWlBfo5Oj0
All of them come from Play.
But you might also know this one:
Lift Me Up — https://youtu.be/pT_Y-eodTv4
That's from Hotel (2005), a very different era of his work.
I'd recommend listening to the whole album from start to finish - https://open.spotify.com/album/4KZWx8zo5ym89aopr0dBIb.

Check out our new single, Pizza Boy. An ode to Neapolitan cuisine, it's been playing nonstop in my mind for months and I had to commit it to DAW and get it out. In some ways it's the spiritual successor to our previous track, Pizza, though it stands alone. Is it or isn't it bonkwave? We don't know

6 years ago today we released our first single, Raisin Bran. Our sound has developed a lot since then, but I'd say we're recognizably the same band
