In this week’s episode of Living Room Music , N8K99 pulls back the curtain on a new creative frontier—a live performance concept in the works for the upcoming Beats & Brews event on April 20th. This evolving set blends electronic foundations—Trip Hop, Ambient, House, and more—with a unique twist: live trumpet performance, converted in real-time to MIDI via MainStage 3 and routed through rich layers of onboard synths. The result? Backing tracks that feel intentionally incomplete, waiting to be brought to life on stage. The episode kicks off with two mellow, lofi-inspired tracks— "Sneak Attack" and "Keep it Going" —both tailored to this hybrid setup and offering a glimpse into the sonic space of this project. Then, in a burst of deadline-fueled inspiration, N8K99 takes a sharp left turn into the pulsing world of psytrance. Three brand new tracks— "Feeling Good" , featuring Nina Simone’s iconic vocals, "For Your Eyes Only" , a James Bond-flavored reimagining, and "Left Earth" , a high-octane psy romp—showcase a different side of the project, pushing the energy way up. Tune in for a genre-hopping journey through experimental structure, sampled soul, and future-facing performance concepts—this episode is a sonic workshop in motion.
