Lettuce Prey – Leesburg/Task At Hand (singles)

Introducing the debut singles “Leesburg” & “Task At Hand” by Lettuce Prey!
Lettuce Prey is a collaborative effort by Shawn Hatfield and Derek Summers.

“We worked hard on these tunes together. A lot of emotion and nostalgia involved. Lettuce Prey is a Groove: Music Lessons + Recording & Appalachian Groove Records production, but it is personally one of the best projects I have ever been a part of.

“Leesburg” has some great old school funk elements and the lyric content drops you right in the mid 1990s of our very own Leesburg, Virginia. The groove, style, and explicit use of synth of this track will keep you dancing. “Task At Hand” rocks you from beginning to end with eye opening craftsmanship on the mic. Derek has an inherent ability to carve lyrics into a beat with all the flow and attitude you’d want.

DJ G-Wiz – Focal Point (instrumental beat)

“G-Wiz” is the wizard of turntables and definitely a rising star in the sea of DJs. More aptly known as “The Young Gunnah,” G-Wiz has been in the music business for nearly a decade and will not be stopping anytime soon. Having experience working special events with 92.5 WINC and 99.3 The Vibe radio stations, this has helped blazed his path to being the DJ that he has become. Through his handwork and dedication, he was given the opportunity to DJ special events with Bobby Valentino, Freeway, Lola Monroe, Beanie Sigel, and in September 2012, the 2 Chainz concert at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC.

Shawn Hatfield – India Pale Aliens (LP)

Shawn Hatfield released a instrumental hiphop LP, India Pale Aliens. He combined funk and fusion with hiphop and rap influences to produce a 12-track record. There are three singles from the album available on Sound Cloud and Bandcamp: “Vibrations,” “We See You,” and “Accidentally Took LSD.”

Shawn Hatfield’s second album, ‘India Pale Aliens,’ explores new sounds and themes that tells the instrumental tale of four very intoxicated extraterrestrials. They crash from moon to moon amongst the lonely galaxy in pursuit of the meaning of life. They stumble onto Earth only to find that it is full of foul creatures who insist on destroying themselves. Realizing landing their ship on Earth was a mistake, they call on the mothership once again.

Shawn Hatfield – Wet Socks Down at the Docks (EP)

Shawn Hatfield spent most of the summer and fall of 2016 composing, recording, mixing, and mastering Wet Socks Down at the Docks. He took a new approach to producing this record by using stringed instruments, applying samples, more keyboard focus, and unorthodox recording techniques. All of course while wearing wet socks.

The three pieces can each be simply described by one word: 1) sad; 2) happy; 3) creepy.
