🎵 “Gives you that drunken beat, that texture, that head nod. ’Cause that’s what swing does — it gives you that head nod.”
—Jai Hanes 💚

There’s a difference between drums that are perfectly on the grid and drums that actually swing. Jai breaks down analog feel, intentional timing, and knowing when not to quantize — the difference between a beat that’s technically perfect and one that actually moves you.

P.S. We’ve been so busy behind the scenes, let us officially welcome Jai Hanes @bboy_supreme_ as Madcap Records’ Senior Executive Producer & Head of A&R — bringing his ear, experience, and instinct for artist development into everything we’re building.

More soon on Jai, growing up in LA tweaking analog beats, his work with youth, and the perspective he gains as Program Director at @kvmrx

“Songwriting is kind of a mantra. You know, the songs that you sing… songwriting is telling a story with as little words as possible. The emotion you can get out with the music.” — Koa Young 🌊

Meet Koa Young of Dasty Island. Born and raised on the North Shore of Oʻahu, Koa brings a deep spiritual connection to his songs and the storytelling behind them, he writes and sings being mindful of what he’s putting out. 🧘🏾🪷

Life doesn’t exactly announce its endings ahead of time. Sometimes a chapter closes quietly while we’re too busy living the next page.

And maybe that’s why some of our best memories can later feel so bittersweet. The places we thought would never change. The people we assumed we’d see again.

We don’t know when we’re taking the last drive down a familiar road. “Mike’s Truck” is a reminder to cherish life’s simple moments — before they pass us by, like a blur.

What’s your Mike’s Truck? 🌺
